re: Remember the awesome LSU Saban years ? Ahhh The Salad Days of Yore...

Seriously it's been 8 years!

What is your point? Say it tersely.

I haven't seen such pomposity since the last Friedman column. Somebody is drinking pretty heavily from the self-regard fountain.

The irony of course is that you grow agitated and ask five six times "what my point is".

And of course the OP says:

quote:

b]The point is NOT[/b] that Saban sucked at LSU.
The point is not that Nick Saban is not the best coach in the business. That's up to you to decide.
But let's be factual people. Let's respect history.
He lost less than three games in a season exactly ONCE.
And the Tiger Rant melted down then too.
You should have been here after the Iowa game or when Xavier Whatsiname kneeled down on the Georgia one.
Saban's losses were by FAR greater margin.
And he lost to inferior opponents.
And he had more inexplicable last minute meltdowns in critical games.
Saban at Alabama is a different animal than Saban at LSU.
I am glad that we have higher expectations for Les than we did for Nick.

---

The point is SELF EXPLANATORY for the sentient.
I could repeat it-But then again, it's all there in simple language for those not too obtuse to handle it's FACTUAL simplicity.
I'm sorry that a simple recitation of THE FACTS agitates you so, but the problem resides in your delicate psychology not my completely FACTUAL post.
Get over yourself, your histrionics are completely over the top..

Do you suffer from a cognitive disability? Are you functionally retarded? I can only conclude that you are.

In the post above, you repeatedly explain what the point IS NOT, but you fail to accurately identify what the pont IS. Rather, you enumerate a ramshackle litany of random stupidity followed by non-sequitors.

IS your point that "Saban at Bama is a different animal than Saban at LSU." If so, this "point" is so vaguely worded and ambiguous as to be worthless. What does it mean "to be a different animal"?

IS your point that "we have higher expectations for Les than we did for Nick." As I've already pointed out, this is entirely justifiable and rational, given that LSU is now an established powerhouse, not a fledging hopeful. Again, context.

I'll take your failure to succinctly set forth your point in a single sentence as tacit concession that you, in fact, have no readily articulable point and that you started this thread to ramble incoherently about ancient events with no real purpose in mind.

Good statements. I was at both the 04 Georgia game and the 04 capital One

Ill never forget xavier bringing out the kickoff and stopping on the 3 yard line. But you can't blame saban for that. Perhaps you can blame saban for trusting Xavier.

Criticize saban for blowing the Capital One game for poor pass coverage

However, whatever you think of saban he brought us to the elite level. Now its our responsibility to remain there!

But the cupboard was very full in 2005

Half a recruiting class is very full?
Signing 13 while your foes sign 25+ isn't what I'd like to see when the cupboard is opened.

Wow.
That's EASILY the most tortured intentional obtuseness I've experienced in my near- decade on this board.
You sure are agitated.
Literally dozens of people were able to debate the OBVIOUS points contained in about a dozen CLEAR sentences.
I'm sorry you are stuggling so hard to intentionally not understand simple English.
You have my sympathy.
And my heartiest Congratulations.
You are the board's foremost Unicorn Sabanista.
Unicorn Saban of course would have waxed 2006 Auburn in a manner Actual Saban couldn't in 2004.
Actual Saban was 48-16 at LSU.
Unicorn Saban is 94-0 at LSU.
You can't beat Unicorn Saban.
He has eight straight crystal balls.
Congrats on your rich fantasy life.

Saban is a better coach now than when he was at Lsu Going for NC #3 in 4 years

2 would be legit and that's if they beat Georgia

Are you intentionally ignoring all of the players who were already on the damn team when Miles arrived?

---

No, the fact that we had half a recruiting class was ignored, if not intentional.
The players Miles inherited from Saban has been discussed ad nauseam.

With Unicorn Sabanistas one must expect Unicorns...

Ah yes, rather than responding to substance, you revert to witless bon mots and cliched pop culture allusions.

Still waiting for your point.
