CrimsonPirate 0 Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 We are on the pedestal, and UAT is underneath looking up at the dominate programs in the SEC West, wondering what its like to be there. Now, they know even winning 10 games isn't good enough to get on that pedestal. UAT is forever looking UP to the top, and just when they think they've gained ground, the two programs above them take more steps and further the gap. Even overrated Croyle said (i'm paraphrasing here): "when you get dominated like we did, it shows how far behind that program we are". We are easy to find, go to the SEC standings and look UP....don't strain your neck though... 237094[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bama Bo 0 Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 I looked. Bear did know how to work the system. Setting your schedule so you have a one game advantage over everyone is pretty weak also. 237027[/snapback] I've seen other AU fans use this argument before. This is bogus. Coach Bryant didn't do anything that other schools couldn't have done also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, you didn't get me. Coach Bryant didn't do the wrong thing. It was not against the rules in any shape, form or fashion. EVERYONE could have scheduled a extra SEC game in place of one of the OOC games. There was no breaking or even bending of the rules. IMO, anyone that didn't take this opportunity just wasn't acting very smart. Besides, Alabama still had to WIN more SEC games than the rest of the conference, hence not really that much of an advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say we have team A having a 5-2 conference record and team B having a 5-2 conference record. Team A schedules an OOC game while team B schedules Vanderbilt. Now we have team A still having a 5-2 conference record while team B has a 6-2 record. Is that not an advantage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProgRock 0 Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 UHmmm let's just put this to what it REALLY boils down to.Bama is loosing it's competitive edge against AUBURN...your not as good against AUBURN as you once were and it doesn't look as though it's going to end anytime soon.Bama fans are probably peed...I could not FATHOM loosing to Bama four years straight it's been a LLLLooonngg time since that's happen..I couldn't imagine NEVER knowing a win in my OWN home stadium.Hey you got to do what you got to do guys...hide your frustration in your stats,bring up the long time past,hold your signs up that say Auburn only has one SEC championship since the split.Whatever.....when it comes to the rubber meeting the road,the meat and potatoes....in this present ERA the HERE and NOW.......we...are....better...than...you. OH and Joe Kines is great keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy, you schedule Vanderbilt, or MSU, OM, or UK, anyone else in the SEC that you're not already playing instead of an OOC game. Then you will be playing the same number of SEC games as Alabama was, therefore having the same opportunity to have as many or more SEC wins as Alabama does. It's not like the SEC office was only letting Alabama do this. Anyone in the conference could do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrimsonPirate 0 Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Hate to break it to you Auburn guys, but everybody in the conference is losing any edge they might have had over everybody else. I don't believe any one team will ever dominate the conference like Bama did in the 70s, Auburn in the 80s, and Florida in the 90s. There will be teams like Vandy and Kentucky who have good teams on occasion, but the top echelon will be occupied by teams like UGA, UT, Auburn, Florida, and, yes, Alabama.

That's not what he said though. He said he didn't believe any ONE TEAM will dominate the CONFERENCE...I don't have the stats handy and I don't care enough about this argument to look them up, but I'm 80% sure the only SEC champion this decade to win every game was the '04 Auburn Tigers.....and there isn't a team in the SEC that looks like they will win 5 or more SEC championships this decade. Between UGA, UF, LSU and AU any of those four teams could take it this year, but none of those teams are a lock. This is SEC football, any team that doesn't bring their A game every single saturday are capable of being beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scholarship limits have made everyone competitive. The big difference now comes down to coaching. Even the best coaches in todays CFB landscape will not be able to pull off 5-10 years of dominance in any conference any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
