clantontiger 0 Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Well it is official I knew it could not last long. The Bammers are at it again. They are feeling their oats. On Finebaum all the Bammers are calling up saying how much better AL is than AU. If we win the MNC the that is just 2 and we have 12, blah blah blah. What a bunch of turds.

AU4Ever 0 Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Just to add to this, I was on the linked UA forum talking about UT spying on the UA practice. I started lurking to see what they were saying about AU. Saw several post where the guys are saying if we do go all the way, they'll let us have it. Instead of having 1/12 of their MNCs, we will then have 1/6. (Surprised that they could actually do such complicated math) The line that got me was 'we'll let them have it'. Made it sound like UA is the grand master of the NCAA championship board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jared52 4,354 Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 It's called the "Bahr" complex. See, the average UAT fan believes that they are one year away from returning the Bahr greatness. But the truth is, they will not get back to it. Without being able to hold off the NCAA, they won't be able to "treat" players the way the Bahr did. I used to respect him, but as the truth of is winning way came out, I lost all respect for his records and his MNCs. They can count them all they want, but the future is not very bright at the Capstone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU4Ever 0 Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 They were 'sore winners' for so many years, they only know one way to act. It's now turned to being 'sore losers'. As I continue to say, Any time, any day, any month, any year, any sport. If UA loses, I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombigbeetiger 223 Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 look fella's, those shaneheads are JEALOUS of us this year....they cannot stand it because AU is stealing all the attention....if you have small children you will know what i am about to say is the truth....when you show attention to one,then the other shows his ass just to try and get your attention away from his sibling.....bammer reflects the actions of those small children....next thing they will do is lie down in the floor and kick and scream and poot in their pants....here is where we come in......we tolerate it for a while and then we spank their little asses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aubiedog 0 Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Those reported remarks by the Bammers are quite amusing. However, their 12 national championships are simply an indication of how far their program has dropped without the open wallet policies of the previous decades. I have a good friend who is a Bammer friend. Bammer football was the highlight of his fall. His parents and mine would attend bowl games and watch UAT win national championships. Now, football is just something that happens. He watches the games, but doesn't really get excited if they win or lose. I must say I've enjoyed watching the life slowly drain from Bammer football. The program at AU is getting stronger. We'll have a set back next year with the loss of Campbell, Williams, and Brown, but the underlying foundation will be stronger than ever if this season continues to rock on. War Eagle! Yesterday, today, and when my son gets there in six years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolltoomer 0 Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Set-back? I thought the same thing this year with the D up-front losses. Didn't think the O could carry us alone. I don't want to start looking to next year--this season is too rich. But we'll see about next year next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU_MB_01 1 Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 This is great. I was reading an article about how "up and down" Bama has been this year. They couldn't figure out why Bama was so "dominant" in it's first three games (against patsies), then got blown away the next two (oops, SEC schedule), and now are back in control (UK and S. Miss are definately world-beaters). Whats so frickin hard to figure out. They're going to beat all of the true dregs, and lose to the teams that are half-way decent. At least their upcoming 1-3 stretch will shut them up (a little) again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday, today, and when my son gets there in six years. 113375[/snapback] Agree wholeheartedly with the first sentence. Not to take anything away from this year's team but next year will not be a rebuilding year. It will be a reloading year. Even after losing JC, CW & RB to graduation, here's our backfield stable for next year. FB: Jake Slaughter & Mike McLaughlin; TB: Tre Smith, Kenny Irons, Carl Stewart, Brad Lester, Gerald Watson; QB: Brandon Cox, Calvin Booker, Blake Field. I don't know about anybody else, but I've been watching Carl Stewart closely when he gets in for mop up duty, and I like what I see. He reminds me of Ronnie Brown. Irons, Smith & Lester run similar to CW. Watson is pure speed. If he learns how to hang on to the ball, we will have a legit punt/KO return threat. Most of the receivers return. We'll have some shoes to fill on the OL after losing Lindsey & Ingle but a lot of backups have received plenty of playing time this year. We're going to be fine. There might be a dropoff in production next year but I doubt if it will be all that much. Remember too that next year will be the 2nd year of CAB's system.

The NCAA doesn't now & never has sanctioned or officially recognized a National Champion in the sport of Div I-A football. Link The NCAA does not conduct a championship for Division I-A football. Instead, these teams participate in a national championship system developed by the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) organization. Not so in Divisions I-AA, II & III, which have an actual playoff format: Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quietfan 233 Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Whenever obnoxious Bama fans bring up their past glory and start counting MNC's, my standard response is something like this: "Yes, you have a great heritage and were a great football power years ago. I acknowledge your history--facts are facts. You have every right to be proud of your past. But then, two millenia ago Italy was the dominant military power in the world and was kicking everybody's butt. 1200 years ago Iraq was the most civilized country in the world. And Yale, Princeton , and Notre Dame claim more national championships* than you (Bama). So in the words of Janet Jackson: 'What have you done for me lately?'" Unfortunately, this only causes them to pause briefly as they struggle to think of a comeback--it never shuts them up for good. *According to this website: http://cfbdatawarehouse.com/data/national_...champs_team.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draven 0 Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 It's easier just to go by the six awarded by the ap. 113411[/snapback] It's like those shirts GOT 12? every time I see people wearing them I want to get them and say no and neither do you. Every time anything is said outside of the UAT group about nation titles its always 6, I dont see why the rest of the country can get that UAT only has 6 while they keep saying 12.
