It is not secret why Bama has been so successful lately, it is called leadership from the coaches to the players and recruiting classes.

If you take a look at Bama's depth chart they have 8 starters that were seniors this year and that is after everyone they lost last year to the draft, they still had 8 juniors coming back. They had 8 senior leaders this year, no wonder they were able to overcome. We had 4 seniors starters and 1 left mid season and then Josh stepped in to keep it at 4 senior starters.

I feel the reason they come back is that they actually KNOW and have FAITH in the coaches that they will be playing for SEC Championships and National Championships. That is what keeps their juniors coming back to be leaders. Bama's juniors have the same opportunities to get drafted in the same rounds as LSU's but their players have a different mind set than it seems what we have at LSU. I personally feel that comes down to faith in their coaches.

Yeah. Bama is head and shoulders above LSU.


Do you even realize how even these teams are?

Well, that's what you think....so, cool.
Not everyone will agree with you, but you're not an idiot for this opinion. Nobody knows the answer for certain, & this is certainly not laughable...regardless of how much crap you might get for saying it.

I'd argue Bama had a better OL, WRs, and DBs than us this year

100% true, dude. Don't let the sunshine riders tell you different. 3/4 titles doesn't spell it out enough for them.

LSU has a total boob at the controls.

One big difference is Bama is having good football fortune. Not that I think they are lucky; rather, they make there own good fortune.

Fore example:

Bama's left tackle wins the Outland Trophy for best linemen in 2011. Does he go NFL? No, he stays at Bama to play....CENTER!

LSU on the other hand, loses nearly the entire OL. Including a NFL caliber RT that just up and leaves.

Gee, after watching the game last week I started to think it has something to do with steroids and HGH.

11/12: One first down
01/12: No offensive game plan, stupid 3rd down penalties, stubbornness
11/11: Better red zone defense, kicker
11/10: Played to win on offense
11/09: Bama grad instant replay ref
11/08: Freshman QB mistake in OT
11/07: Experience, offense

Miles is 3-4 against Saban, but has only been out of ONE game with no chance to win - 01/12.

Difference? Not fricking much.

This would be considered a "Balls of Steel" post by Bill Kings show.

Look I have been critical of Miles lately because of a lethargic offense that would have trouble moving the ball against a high school team.

But for god sake, some of you are so god damn negative you'll really find anything to bitch about.

Do you have any idea how great of a recruiting tool this will be for Miles?
