Oh, boys! I think its time we set the record straight and laugh at your half-ass comebacks that fail to relate to the topic at hand.
What was the topic? Simply asking you "fans" if you thought the whole Sharpe recruitment seemed odd. What do I get in return? Denial and bringing up Bear Bryant.
Hmmm? Whats wrong with that picture? Well, for one, its the age old argument that you guys and other SEC schools have been chasing for generations.
For starters, take a click here:
Ford Interview
Intervies is in the left column.
Tell me this guy doesn't sound guilty?!?!?
Again, its not the kid I question, but the HS coach and his sudden "interest" in what M$U can do for him.
Gottfried, UAB, and Georgia all pulled their scholarship offers at the last minute. Can you tell me the last time Alabama pulled a scholarship offer in the last 20 years in football and basketball? The answer is none. Why now?
Since NCAA rules do not permit a coach to speak publicly about the recruitment of a player, CMG followed the rules and clearly sent a message to the SEC and NCAA. Kudos to him, UAB and UGA..
The only one talking was the HS coach Ford. That speaks volumes.
There are plenty of other inconsistencies with his story...but I think time will tell.
Edited to say: transcipts are a question too.
I am sure $tan$bury can straighten the whole thing out. Afterall, he is so highly regarded amongst his fellow SEC coaches (1 vote in the SEC coaches poll for coach of the year).
Good luck to Sharpe, but our class will be stellar either way.
Now, lets reflect on a few other things while you guys are still in the jealousy stage.
the smell coming form our basketball program is the smell of victory....
who is the defending overall sec champions.. starkville dats right...
How far did yall get in the NCAA tournament?
How far has $tansbury taken you in the NCAA tourny?
Who has more SEC Championships in BASKETBALL?
Who has more SEC Tourny Championsips in BASKETBALL?
Who leads all-time head to head Bama vs. M$U?
Who has put more players in the NBA?
Should I continue? Its too easy...
webm started this post by saying that we cheated and i pointed out that bama has cheated more that most...
Go back and read the post. I only questioned the whol epsidode and how it unfolded.
And for the record, Aubrun has been put on probation more times than anyone in the SEC.
I wouldn't be too quick to call anyone cheaters. Isn't the NCAA wrapping up its case against yall?
webm go ahead and break out the record books. since the bear has retired what have you done.
Ask and you shall recieve. Lets' see, Bear was gone in 85 I believe. Let's simply take a look at one solid decade..the 90's <---also known as M$Us glory years (if there ever was such a thing)
In the 1990s, in spite of probation, Alabama:
- Went to eight bowls and won five
- Won two conference championships, that's 20% of the championships in a 12-team conference
- Won 91 games - Only Florida won more.
- Won one National Championship the same as Florida and Tennessee.
- Played in 5 SEC Championship games, second only to Florida, winning 2 of the five.
*Not to mention the 90's were considered a "down" year by Bama standards.
BCS bowl in 99
All time vs. M$U 68-16-3
Against M$U since 1985 15-4
Won the SEC West in 2003 despite being on probation
3-1 vs. M$U 2000-present
Bowl victory in 2001 / 2002-2003 not bowl elegible.
Do you want me to go into all the other records or is post-Bear enough? I think you are pretty familiar with the others.
BTW, how is that M$U resume looking? I mean, Jackie Sherrill not only saved your football program-- he destroyed it!
Oh, the irony...
sorry webm but bama football will never be what it once was, because you can't cheat like u use to
Anyone with half a college football brain knows that dynastys are hard to build this day and age, but that has most to do with SCHOLARSHIP LIMITS.
I've never claimed that Alabama will return to complete dominance, but two things can be for sure:
We will always be on top of the record books and we will continue to get the best players regardless if others claim we "cheated"
Afterall, we are Alabama.
I've got access to the best hooded merganser hole in the state of miss. please feel free to p.m. and I'll give you the gps cords. that way you can shoot a mess of your favorite birds..
Thanks! But I got a place in Tallahatchie county where everytime I smack down a greenhead, I sing the Alabama fight song.
Speaking of a fishy smell, I thought it was kind of fishy when McDeyess and Washington signed w/ Bummer a few years back too. But who's whining?
Come on 24?!?!? You can do better than that. Your posts are becoming lackluster. I recomend a location change. I think all your Bama envy is destroying your creativity.
RTR !
edit: Sorry if this reply seems to have an "animosity" tone, but I am merely pointing out the inconsistencies and the redundancy of the "What have you done since Bear?" question that always appears unprovoked.
The obvious answer is ALOT. Both good things AND bad. i don't deny that.
