 | Is Saban the greatest coach of all time. - Tennessee Jed on 1/7/13 at 3:58 pm
I'm not talking college football, or even football in general.
I'm talking the greatest coach, of all time, of any sport. I say yes, unequivocally yes, you'd be hard-pressed to find another coach capable of creating this amount of sheer dominance.

| Spinoff Thread: If you had to choose one outcome for your team this year - Tennessee Jed on 1/7/13 at 12:52 pm
Would you rather win the BCS title, or be ranked as the 6th most valuable CFB program by the WSJ?
I really can't decide, both are extremely prestigious and noteworthy accomplishments.

| When is CBB going to get Arkansas into the top 50 recruiting rankings?? - Tennessee Jed on 1/7/13 at 11:30 am
Just curious. I was floored by the hire, and totally expected him to start reeling in 5 stars on day one.
I was a bit surprised to learn that they're currently 13th in the SEC, and only 2 spots ahead of Kentucky nationally....

| Which fans are least likely to know the difference between 'worst' and 'worse - Tennessee Jed on 1/4/13 at 10:40 am
I don't think there's been a thread on this board where at least one person hasn't used worse/worst incorrectly.
It's really pretty embarrassing. If I had to take a stab at which fan base are the biggest perpetrators I'd have to say LSU.

| Complete Hypothetical - LSU vs Notre Dame - Tennessee Jed on 1/1/13 at 12:32 pm
I know a lot of the Tiger fans think they're capable, or should have been competing for a national championship this year.
Let's just say, it's a damn good thing they didn't make it to Miami.
I'm convinced that LSU could play Notre Dame ten times, and not amass more than 10 first downs.

Those four words sum up LSU in the Peach Bowl last night. I would say it's embarrassing, but it's what we should have been expecting. That team has been severely underwhelming all year.
The SEC was not the best conference this season, bowl games are about to prove that.

I've never really understood this. It seems if anyone says they're not really "fair and balanced" everyone gets worked into a tizzy.
It's blatantly obvious they're conservative, and I'm fine with that. It's my preferred media outlet, because they align most closely with my beliefs. But let's n...

| The best "College Football Player" in SEC history Turned 20 a week or two ago - Tennessee Jed on 12/20/12 at 11:42 am
As many people appeared upset over my Reggie White thread, and me declaring him the "best football player in SEC history."
I feel it's necessary to honor the greatest college player in SEC history, as he also celebrated a birthday earlier this month.
