No, we know that you don't like us. We're not sure why. LSU isn't really one of our big rivals, maybe 3rd behind Tennessee and Auburn. But if hating us makes you feel good, then go for it.

You always drink, win or lose. Drink to celebrate victory or drink to drown away sorrow.

Oh you're telling me are you? I'm sorry, I didn't know you had a "Marching Band" major in college, so I yield to your expert opinion. Please forgive me for opposing your almighty marching band knowledge.
I have to admit, Les Miles is a pretty good recruiter, and he's certainly not afraid to take a chance. But at the same time, even the most diehard LSU fan has to think how LUCKY Les Miles was last year to win the national championship. You guys literally backed into the game after losing during the last week of the regular season.

And in addition to the luck of the other teams losing that final weekend as well, you had NUMEROUS games that went down to the wire and you guys could have EASILY lost them. True, the better athletes won those games, but still. The Auburn game showed his TERRIBLE clock management skills, and you can't even argue that. The CB tips the ball up in the air and the game is over, Auburn wins. If JPW could have held on to the ball like a competent QB, we would have beaten you too.

In my opinion, Les Miles has had the superior athletes against EVERY TEAM he has faced since being at LSU. And he still loses 2 games per season? Don't get me wrong, that's a great record, but I could name several coaches that could put up those numbers with players as good as LSU has been fortunate enough to have.

I dunno. I've seen the Florida pep band at some away games and they've been pretty loud in my opinion. They always had tons of gongs and stuff that would make a hell of a lot of noise. Not to mention they'd play the "Go, Gators" song about every 2 minutes.

He does seem to dislike LSU. Not sure why. And he is the most ridiculous Notre Dame homer on Earth. Even before they lost to North Carolina and were 4-1, I'm pretty sure he was ready to vote them the #1 team in the country.

Colin Cowherd hates Alabama for some reason.

LSU does have a good band. I think Florida, Tennessee, and Alabama also have good bands. Auburn's is good, but not very loud.

That's actually not true. Programs like Alabama, Notre Dame, Nebraska, etc. are very tradition-rich, each having multiple national championships, some from decades ago. Nevertheless, as you've clearly seen in Alabama's case, a good coach and signs of a turnaround can easily create an influx of recruits. If you pay attention to recruiting, you'll hear the word "tradition" come up quite a lot, actually.

Irrespective of whether it is ranked #2 or 6th, Bama had a very good class last year and it is silly to try an debate that fact. Sure, the class lost some luster when it lost some of those players but still very solid.


There is no "whether"; after the players who left are accounted for, we finished 2nd. If you judge solely by star rating, USC would finish 1st virtually every year.

I never argued that quantity is better than quality. However, as many LSU homers have been quick to point out, Alabama lacks depth at several positions. We signed 8 3-star recruits before the losses were accounted for. Does that really sound like we were loading up on 3-star talent? 19 4-stars before the loss. Your argument really isn't valid...

Alabama NEEDED a large number of good recruits last year, and we got them. This year we'd love to have a large group, but the need isn't nearly as high as it was last year.

#2 point-wise. #6 by star average. For the same reason that you said Ohio State had a good class based on quantity.

ouldn't matter. When it comes to reporting, it would be like this year. How many of Bama's top class didn't make it to class in '08? think your class was donwgraded to tenth.


And I think you are a dumbass.

Taking into account the people that didn't make it, Alabama finished 2nd.

How many does Texas have to give?

re: Predict the recruiting finish

Posted by jta1188 on 10/17/08 at 8:22 pm to
Oops, I meant Texas at #2 and Ohio State at #4. Although with 25 recruits for OSU already, I could see Alabama moving ahead of Ohio State for the #4 position if the rest of the recruiting season goes well for Bama. Dre Kirkpatrick, Kendall Kelly, and Tana Patrick will help (assuming we get all 3), and I think 'Bama will pull off at least one unexpected big name. I think 'Bama will be anywhere between 4-6.

1. USC
2. Texas
3. LSU
4/5. Ohio State/Alabama

Predict the recruiting finish

Let's have a little guessing game here. What do you think the top 10 will look like at Rivals on NSD?

I think it'll be:

1. USC
2. Ohio State
3. LSU
4. Texas
5. Alabama
6. Miami
7. Georgia
8. Florida
9. Florida State
10. Oklahoma


Any other guessers?

Not true. 'Bama is a pretty good school. I think they were the fourth highest ranked (in the SEC) on the latest rankings, while LSU was 10th.



Thank you. :cheers:

Vanderbilt is first, but among the publics, it's Florida, Georgia, then 'Bama.

I'm sorry, perhaps I should have pointed you to U.S. News and World Report, which, in its annual rankings of U.S. universities, has ranked the University of Alabama ahead of LSU for more than a decade. Alabama has more USA Today Academic All-Americans, Goldwater and Truman Scholars, and National Merit Finalists.

So, in response to your post, I absolutely "catch your drift": we admit fewer students than you do, and those applying to UA tend to be more academically accomplished than those applying to LSU.

Your only mistake was referring to me as the "dipshit." And, you're right, you WOULDN'T get into Harvard.

Well, apparently we admit a lower percentage of incoming freshmen than does LSU, but what does the College Board know? :rolleyes:

I have to laugh at that type of attitude. As someone mentioned in another thread, THAT attitude that LSU is too good for some of its 4* recruits, a la Sentimore, could very well end up being LSU's downfall one day. Time will tell. But you may very well end up eating your words.
I'd love to see Randle come to 'Bama just to watch this board in absolute meltdown. Keep telling yourself he isn't looking at Alabama, but you know he is. Alabama is quietly sneaking up on many of the best recruits in LSU country, and that pattern will only continue.
