re: Football Programs With More National Titles Than LSU

Same here. Almost 50 and I'm average to maybe slightly above average looks wise (based on feedback from women I've dated), have a little bit of game, and above average in bed (so I've been told...lol).

re: A post on another board shows Auburn is next to last among SEC teams in basketball wins

I think that list is a couple of years old. Here are the Top 50 teams in all times wins as of today:
1) Kentucky - [b]2,400[/b]-758-1

re: Kentucky should go after Jay Wright

I was just throwing it out there but I guess the idea has been beaten to death. I'm guessing Scott Drew is the more popular realistic target whenever the job opens up. ...
Kentucky should go after Jay Wright
Posted by Govt Tide on 4/2/24 at 5:46 pm
I think Jay Wright more or less retired for similar reasons that Saban did (turned off by NIL and the transfer portal) but Kentucky would be one of the very few jobs he would consider coming out of retirement for. Not that I or anyone here would want to see that happen. Jay Wright at Kentucky would ...
re: March Madness: 5 teams that could bust your men's NCAA tournament bracket
Posted by Govt Tide on 3/19/24 at 4:58 pm
I'll be very very pleasantly surprised if we somehow manage to make it to the Sweet 16 but I just don't see it. I can see us managing to outscore Charleston in a close game but St Mary's will lock us down defensively and it'll be one shot and done on offense and plenty of fouls and easy finishes aga...

[quote]Seems kind of low to only get 12 points for making the championship game but losing[/quote]
Agreed. It makes more sense to double the point totals until you get to Final 4s and then do a total for runner ups and champions.
The following gives greater weight to Final 4s but seems like a...
re: Why isn’t the SEC Basketball Tourny in NOLA?
Posted by Govt Tide on 3/13/24 at 6:37 pm
Nashville is the perfect location for the SEC basketball tournament. Within a 5 hour drive of at least half the conference teams.
No offense to NOLA which is a great event city but downtown Nashville is nicer, cleaner, and safer than downtown NOLA as well. ...

Auburn hasn't won a single SEC tournament game since 2019
Posted by Govt Tide on 3/10/24 at 1:46 pm
In fact, Auburn has won at least 1 SEC tournament game in only 2 of the 7 SEC tournaments Auburn has competed in since Bruce Pearl has been head coach. Shocking stat from one of the greatest coaches in SEC history.
P.S. Auburn and Pearl didn't compete in the 2021 SEC tournament due to cheating...

re: Tell me again why Nate Oats is in such high demand
Posted by Govt Tide on 3/10/24 at 11:53 am
Don't know that he's in high demand but as far as results he's been as good as any coach in the league since he arrived at Alabama for the 2019/2020 season.
SEC records from 2019/2020 on:
1) Kentucky - 62-27
2) Alabama - 62-28
3) Tennessee - 58-31
4) Auburn - 57-33
5) Florida - 49-39

All frustration aside, I just want Griffin to be fine and us to take care of business Saturday against Arkansas.
Win Saturday and we're guaranteed either the #2 or #3 seed in Nashville (assuming Tennessee beats Kentucky in Knoxville). #2 seed if South Carolina loses one of their last two games, ...

We have to first beat Tennessee on Wednesday. Then we must hope that Tennessee beats Bama on Saturday. We also have to win out against Miss State, @ Mizzou, and Georgia.
