ETA: I can't believe there isn't another person on here who hasn't heard this or have proof as well.

Don't know about the e-mail, but I've said on here several times in the past that I know for a fact that both Saban and Spurrier were IN BR and talked face to face with LSU officials when all the "Miles to Michigan" stuff was going on. It happened. Confidential informant/friend that works at Shaw and is in the know.

All the little boys on here that think they know what's going on just don't have a clue as to what's really going on behind the scenes at LSU.

I'll tell yall another not so secret secret. All the money is in place to "Buy Out" whomever needs to be bought out at the end of this season. The money's in the bag. Coaches have been identified and already contacted in case it all goes down..........

C'mon Sammich. Read the above post and explain to me how the BCS would have helped Spurrier win more than one title

I am still in shock that you posted Spurrier was "Just Lucky". To qoute you:

C'Mon Sammich, where are you? You said the BCS would have helped Spurrier win more titles. Read my post on page three and explain to me how the BCS would have even helped Spurrier play more titles, much less win more.

Get over it and look at how the 1996 season played out- educate yourself. Spurrier lost his last regular season game to FSU and dropped to number five or six. he needed several teams ahead of him to lose- all in their last games- to get a rematch with FSU. #3 Nebraska lost to unranked Texas in the Big 12 championship. Unbeaten Ohio St. lost to Michigan in their rivalry#2 and unbeaten Arizona State lost the Rose Bowl to #4 Ohio St., who was ranked ahead of Florida and yeat Florida jumped them in the final polls. How is that not lucky? C'mon, explain both how that is not lucky and then explain how the BCS would have helped Spurrier play for even one more title than he did, much less win one more.

And yet, you are unable to explain to me why, given the circumstances surrounding Florida's only title (explained above), how it was NOT lucky for them to walk away with a national title. Nor are you able to explain to me how the BCS would, as per your claim, have helped Spurrier EVEN PLAY for another national title, much less win one. In fact, had the BCS been around in 1996, Spurrier WOULD NOT HAVE WON A TITLE. In 1996, the regular season ended with 2 undefeated teams: FSU (who beat Florida) and Arizon State. So really, had the BCS been around, its highly likely that Steve Spurrier WOULD NOT HAVE WON a national championship. C'm Sammich. Explain to me, since I am obviouslly so stupid.

Sammich, I guess you're not going to explain to me how I'm stupid. But consider this: Had the BCS been around in the 90's, Spurrier would have won ZERO national championships. Please read the following. Tell me where I'm wrong. Tell me where I'm stupid. Just have the common decency to respond after you insulted me.


1990: Finished the regular season with two losses. once beaten Colorado and once beaten once tied Georgia Tech would have played for the BCS championship had there been one. For 2 loss, 13th ranked Florida, it was a moot point as they were serving a bowl ban.

1991: Spurrier finished the regular season with one loss. Undefeated Miami and undefeated Washington would have played for the BCS title.

1992: Finished regular season with 3 losses. Undefeated Alabama and undefeated Miami would have been in the BCS title game (these teams did actually play in the Sugar Bowl).

1993: Finished the regular season with 2 losses(to national champion FSU) BCS would have been #1 FSU vs. #2 Nebraska- each team had one loss, as did #3 Notre Dame (these teams, Nebraska and FSU did actually play in the Orange Bowl)

1994: Florida finished the regular season 10-1-1. The BCS would have featured unbeaten Nebraska vs. unbeaten Penn St.

1995: #2 Florida did play #1 Nebraska in the Orange Bowl (it weren't pretty- Spurrier promptly hires Bob Stoops)

1996: #1 and unbeaten Florida loses in the last weekend to #2 and unbeaten FSU. BCS would have featured #1 undefeated FSU vs. #2 and undefeated Arizona State. (Note, this is the year Spurrier won the national title. He lost his last regular season game to unbeaten FSU and dropped several spots in the polls. To win the title, he needed Michigan to upset unbeaten Ohio St. in their rivalry, which they did. He then needed unranked Texas to beat unbeaten #3 Nebraska in the Big 12 championship game-which they did- and then needed unbeaten #2 Arizona State to lose in the Rose bowl- which they did)

1997: Unbeaten Nebraska would have played unbeaten Micigan. (These two teams split the AP and Coaches poll_)

1998: BCS starts. Tennessee wins the first one against FSU.

Now, please, since you insulted me, tell me where I'm wrong, how Florida was NOT lucky to win the title in 1996, and how the BCS would have helped Spurrier win (or even play for) more titles.

Well the SOB tells me I'm stupid, uses my statement that Spurrier was lucky to get into the title game in '96 in his quote, tells me that Spurrier would have more than one title had the BCS system been around since 1990, and then doesn't have the common courtesy to respond to my arguments.

Read the argument. I said Spurrier was lucky to be in the national title game in 1996- see above post for reasons.

He's outposting you and you won't even engage him. He is in effect dragging his nuts across your forehead.

I didn't take a shite on anything. I am honestly quite stunned to find out Spurrier was "Lucky". But, don't get angry. Smoke a Doral 100 Menthol...or not, just calm down..

I said Spurrier was lucky to get his title in '96. Read my post, then tell me two things.
1)How is having three undeafeated teams in fron of you lose on the last weekend of the year NOT lucky?

2)You said the BCS would have benefited Spurrier. In what years that he was Florida that the BCS didn't exist (1990-1997) would he have made it into a BCS championship game? Remember, you said the BCS would have afforded Spurrier more shots at a title. Please read my post before responding
