"Ya see, Rece, I never really wanted to play football. I always wanted to be Liza Minnelli on Broadway in "Cabaret"."
Kanell doesn't just hate us, he hates the whole SEC.Why does Danny Doody (Kanell) dislike Alabama so much?
Correct me if I'm wrong but Bowden was Miami's punching bag from Jimmie til the last butch Davis recruited team and Miami before Howard was actually in worst situation than both fsu and uf.Kanell doesn't just hate us, he hates the whole SEC.
He's also a clueless moron.
He also said Saban walked into a better situation that Bowden.
"I think you have to be look at what Saban inherited," Kanell said. "He came into a rich traditional program that had a strong history. When Bobby Bowden took over Florida State, it wasn't that far removed from being an all-girls school.
Florida State started playing big-time in football in 1954. Bowden got there in 1976. In 1964, FSU went 9-1-1 and beat Oklahoma in a bowl game. OKLAHOMA!!! They beat Florida with greater ease than the 1964 national champs (Alabama) beat that same Florida team.
I'll grant the basic history of the two schools is not comparable, but let's not pretend Bowden started over in the spirit of "We Are Marshall." The school had had some success through the years. And when Saban came on board, we were coming off the second most crippling probation in NCAA history, three losing seasons in the previous four years in a conference at its most competitive ever and heading on a historic run.
Bowden avoided the SEC when it came calling in 1990.
I understand Kanell feeling pride for having played for Bowden, but cheap shotting Saban only makes him look like a clown.
You're absolutely correct about that. I had a different opinion than you about the QB situation, and you learned who the starting Quarterback will beThe same people who get worked up about what somebody says on ESPN are the same people who lose their cool on this board when someone has a different opinion. I wonder how those people are able to interact with coworkers, friends, family etc. You can learn something from people who have a different opinion..
Probably, but South Carolina sure gave them a run for the money!I think UCLA was the by far the worst performer in the top 10.
Selma, I'll give him the Bowden opinion. When he took over at FSU they were absolutely horrific, with no tradition and no hope at all. They had never done anything.Kanell doesn't just hate us, he hates the whole SEC.

Idk. he would've had to beat miami quiet few times in the 80s and early 90s which he had a very hard time with them. I also think there is no chance he would've beaten Osborn in 95 thru 97 seasons, and then he would've had to deal with saban stoops and Carroll so I don't see more than 3 nattys but he would've gotten twice as many sec championship than stallings curry and dubose combined.Selma, I'll give him the Bowden opinion. When he took over at FSU they were absolutely horrific, with no tradition and no hope at all. They had never done anything.
He turned that program around as good as any coach ever has.
I still think if we had hired Bowden in 1985, when he craved the job, we might have won ten national championships and he might still be coaching lol...
Coach Saban has done an incredible job, but yes, Coach Bowden had a bigger mountain to climb.
Just my opinion..
sip
He was a very very good coach and is a pretty good man all the way around.Idk. he would've had to beat miami quiet few times in the 80s and early 90s which he had a very hard time with them.

I can agree with that and that if we got that the program probably wouldn't had to endure the dark ages. I would've loved to have himHe was a very very good coach and is a pretty good man all the way around.
You just made my point. Your life be going good has to do with you being correct on a football message board. You were banned from this board for losing your cool and cursing at me over football. Get some life prospective..You're absolutely correct about that. I had a different opinion than you about the QB situation, and you learned who the starting Quarterback will be
Life is good

Part of my enjoy football again campaign is to not watch these kinds of shows anymore. There's no point to them, the opinions of the guys are irrelevant, and they tell you nothing interesting about the teams or the game itself. It's like all the talking heads projecting the final four after the first week. What a gigantic waste of time.
