I'll say it now, we at least beat them by 2 TD's next year if not 3 now that they don't have the run threat behind center. We'll see how much of that "...... is done" is in them!

On a more serious note, though, can somebody explain the basis by which they are being picked to finish so high next season after an 8-5 year?Is Muschamp REALLY thought to be that much of a difference maker? Have they got 10 starters back on both sides of the ball? What?
It must be Gus, he is a genius, you know. I haven't paid much attention to the early polls. I know TCU and OSU are the darlings, one deserved and one not-so-much.

They also think that Cam wasn't paid, Nick Fairley was a clean player, and that they actually won the 1983 national championship.

He wasn't. We paid his dad. Best investment we ever made.

That's just how we roll.





Mean as a snake. Dirty as all get out. Made for a great D-lineman.



We got screwed, but we have no real claim to it.
Awesome and classy reply..

Upon further review I have analyzed all the data produced since Kick-6. Actually it is Auburn who has seen the beginning of the end. Before Kick-6 Gus was caught picking his nose on camera 5.7 times per game. Since Kick-6 he has been caught 3.5 times per game.

Maybe, but I doubt it. I'd just point them to this years recruiting class to remind them that we will probably be ok.

I'm not wasting any of my life going to the link and reading it either.

If you feel like you just can't help yourself but to engage in the ya-ya-ing with that ever present obnoxious barner fan that you see in your local watering hole, just tell him this: The difference in Auburn and Alabama is that it's big news if Auburn is in the national title hunt, and it's bigger news if Alabama's NOT in the national title hunt. Let him think about that one.

I can tell you exactly why they are picked to finish so high. It's so that people like yourself will talk about it. There are so many media members nowadays who feel the need to create news instead of reporting the news. They need their bosses to see that people are reacting to their story, so they can justify their being, so they can ask advertisers for money.

It's like Nick Saban once said so eloquently about pre-season polls (and for that matter, polls in general) - (and i paraphrase) - "It's someone's OPINION, about what they THINK, MIGHT happen. It means nothing else. Just clutter."

OOOK... Thanks. I suppose. Did my even posing the question somehow raise some sort of sociological issue? If so, I CERTAINLY didn`t intend to! My bad.

I wasn't meaning to pick on you specifically, but the point is that pre-season polls don't mean a thing - why even look at them or be concerned with them. When the final "selection committee" poll comes out the day after the conference championship games, that's the only one that matters now. I can assure you that those 12-14 people on that committee don't care what anyone else thinks, or where a team was ranked before the season or even in the middle of a season. They are basing their poll strictly on what actually happened during the whole season, not on their preconceived opinions.

So is this GIF Jay Cutler as a fat kid? Or Jay Cutler after football and he has let himself go? :biggrin:
