Major UA Announcement

Posted by RandyRP on 9/26/08 at 5:58 pm
Officials with the University of Alabama announced today that effective imediately, Bryant-Denny stadium would be renamed Simpson Stadium. When asked about the sudden change, UA athelic director Mal Moore responded by stating "After consulting with our board of supervisors, we reached a consensus that the stadium's name should reflect the support of the fans" he further added "We felt that Simpson Stadium was the best possible name, because when our games sell out we have 92,138 Homers in the stands"

The most interesting thing on that list to me is West Virginia at #50. In the past few years they have competed at the top level beating both UGA(the year they beat us in the SECCG) and Oklahoma last year in BCS bowls.


I noticed West Virginia too. I think they are an excellent example of how a guy like Pat White definately makes a difference in the W-L column, but is singly not going to sway a recruiting class ranking.

Yes coaching factors into it. Yet, I also think that while we tend to focus on whether or not the 4 and 5 star recruits are over/under rated, a large part of it comes down to the quality of the 3 star recruits and that won't show up in the type of data we are looking at.

He's the same person who got Tyler Edwards downgraded after Edwards committed to LSU


Rivals lists Edwards as the #26 ranked TE (3*)
Scout lists Edwards as the #14 ranked TE (4*)

Excellent point! :cheers:

BTW: I don't think anyone has mentioned Nate Livings a 1* recruit on both Scout and Rivals. Not a lock in the NFL at this point, but I hope he makes it.

Congratulations for working hard and being able to graduate High School early. Being able to enroll at LSU early is definately an advantage.

Have you selected a major yet?

Good Luck to you.
Blurb "articles" such as this are often misleading. If the entire SEC spent 13.1 million, that is an average of 1.09 million per team, which is slightly more than the 994,000 LSU spent. Additionally, it is unlikely that schools such as Vanderbilt (no insult intended) are spending the same type of money. This likely means that other top SEC schools are spending much MORE than LSU. So instead of giving the impression that spending increases at LSU are "ballooning", a more in depth analysis is likey to reveal that LSU actually spends LESS than other top conference schools and the increase is part of a much larger national trend.

Lastly as another poster most wisely pointed out, "spending money to make money". BCS bowls do payout much more $$$$.
The Redskins recently announced they will continue to play Laron at Free Safety instead of moving him back to Strong Safety.

Here is another video.
