The Best College Football Coaching Job in America... according to TET

The biggest bafoon in SBN history has a nice little write-up on what he thinks is the best college football job in the country. Here are his criteria:
"I took into account tradition, weather, recruiting base, facilities, conference and budget."
"I did not factor in the competency of those who the coaches work for - athletic directors, school presidents and boards of trustees. "
Well that's good Jay, because if you did, Auburn would have its own special ranking, wouldn't it?
Well now to the results:
1. Florida - Like it or not, this SEC foe has everything going for them. Their facilities are unmatched across the country and with an annual athletic department budget of $83 million the Gators have the resources to keep them state-of-the-art. The 2009 Rivals 100 list of top recruits contained 19 players that hail from the state of Florida - more than any other state. Urban Meyer's staff signed five of those athletes. It's still hard to believe Florida didn't win its first conference title until 1991.
2. Texas - The Longhorns are one of the few schools that can pick its players rather than having to recruit them. Austin, Texas may be the best college town in America. The Texas tradition is among the top five. What is there not to like? With an annual budget of $101 million, Mack Brown has little trouble keeping up with the Joneses. The state of Texas placed 12 athletes in this year's Rivals 100 and the Longhorns signed six of them. It's hard to blame Will Muschamp for staying put in Austin.
3. Southern Cal - Did USC make Pete Carroll or was it the other way around? I think it's safe to say that it's a little of both. With no NFL franchise in Los Angeles, the Trojans are the toast of the town. The weather is great 12 months out of the year and California is only rivaled by Florida and Texas for the most high school talent. This year's Rival 100 has 11 players from California and USC signed eight of them.
4. Notre Dame - Sure this is not your grandfather's Notre Dame, but don't underestimate the Irish. With the largest subway alumni base in the country and a major network to carry its games, Notre Dame is still among the plum jobs in college football. There is no tradition short of the New York Yankees that rival the Irish. With no conference to share television rights and bowl money, Notre Dame takes a back seat to no one in terms of revenue. The state of Indiana had no players on the Rivals 100 list, but when you are Notre Dame this is not a problem.
5. LSU - This probably comes as a shock to some of you. When I started my research, the Bayou Bengals were not on my radar. But the more you research the program the more you realize that Baton Rouge has a lot going for it. For starters, Louisiana consistently turns outs a decent crop of high school recruits despite its relatively small size. Bordering Texas and a stones throw from Alabama, LSU regularly crosses the border for talent. Surprisingly, Louisiana had five players among the Rivals 100. The Tigers signed six on the list, including two from the state of Texas. With great tradition and an annual budget of $76 million, LSU has things rocking in Bayou Country.
Ok, right off the bat I agree with UF and Texas as they certainly fit his criteria on every level but Notre Dame? They have NO recruiting base and that job hasn't been relevant in over a decade. And earth to Jay: NOTRE DAME HAS NO CONFERENCE! And USC is a great job NOW but before Carrol, it certainly wasn't a highly regarded job. And excuse me Jay, but I thought conference was part of your criteria? The PAC10 Jay? Really? Seems to me you went out of your way to write up this pointless post just to drum up responses like "OMG you didn't put up bammer!!?" I can't exactly say much about LSU as they have won 2 BCS National Championships and they have an outstanding recruiting base. But it gets better...
"How does Auburn compare? Not too shabby. Jordan-Hare Stadium recently underwent several upgrades in recent years, including a new locker room, weight room and construction of a state-of-the-art academic facility. Despite having only four players on the Rivals 100 list this year from Alabama, Auburn is blessed with its proximity to Georgia and Florida, regularly going out of state for blue chip athletes."
Jay, you are a disgrace to all people with eyes who are forced to be subjected to your Candy Land Micky Mouse BS "writing." You are the biggest fanboy I have ever seen to the point that it makes me sick to my stomach to look at your goofy face in your avatar. I know you sleep every night on a bed with Auburn Tiger sheets, pillow cases and clinging ever so tightly to your stuffed Aubie with a thumb in your mouth. The fact that you get a pay check for what you do is the biggest indictment of free market economics ever.
FanPosts are just that; posts created by the fans. They are in no way indicative of the opinions of SBN and the authors of Roll Bama Roll.

The Best Part about your little rant...
Is that you didn’t even graduate from Alabama. Have any of you actually graduated from Alabama? Does a diploma from South Alabama constitute having a degree. Last time I visited, it was a sh!t hole. As for the fanboy comment, I believe that describes you more than me. You see I actually graduated from Auburn – not some Division II commuter school. And while you are at it, go ahead and scrape the hounds tooth hat decal off the back of your Chevrolet Malibu. And how about posting a real avatar of yourself. My guess is you are about 100 lbs overweight. When I saw your avatar the first thing I thought of was that Brad Paisley song, “Online.” Now go upstairs and tuck your mom in bed loser. P.S. – Bear is still dead. Get over it!
Jay Coulter
The thing is...
He replied to BR07 instead of Ben. Attention whore that he is, I guess he wanted to make sure his picture was at the top of the comments. Yuck!!!
Have you ever wondered why the Aubies have an aubsession with which ones of us graduated from the University? I can’t figure it out. None of us care which ones of them graduated since we would find them MORE intelligent if they DID NOT go to Auburn. Since Jay mentioned Coach Bryant, it makes this definition in the Urban Dictionary all the more apropos.
"I hate everything orange"
It's all about Crimson - ROLL TIDE!!!
HEY VICKI, You are totally correct!.....
about commenting about a TET article or on the TET site. You can see how this thread turned out. Plus I commented on the original post at TET and listed my top 5 using the author’s criteria and got hit with a “are you that clueless”? reply from the author. And now that everyones comments on this subject have been twisted around to mean that we’re all pissed because he didn’t include Bama, he has put up a completely juvenile article running down Bama fans for thinking it is a top 5 job. Unreal.
Anyway, I only mention this to you because I know you tried to warn us, and I didn’t realize that auburn guy was so touchy.
SIDEBAR TO BENS about this observation:
Seems to me you went out of your way to write up this pointless post just to drum up responses like “OMG you didn’t put up bammer!!?”
Even though we did not respond in that manner, the author took it that way anyway. What a shocker!
Wow
I know why you replied to me instead of Ben – well, either you don’t know how SBN works, or you are quite the attention whore. And let me just make sure, you ARE an Admin/MOD/Manager, right? And yet you find it professional and becoming of you, your site and your staff to show up on another blog and act as rude and unprofessional as the above post reflects? Wow.
Jay, your response and reply on this thread reinforces what we all believe to be true (and I am sure many others around blog nation). I can only say I am glad Todd, Nico and the rest don’t act like total douches.

First of all . . . if the best you can do is go after someone’s appearance (and a made-up one at that), you should probably just got back to TET. You’re out of your league here. But, since you brought it up . . .
Are you really going to throw stones about looks with that picture in your profile? Seriously?
Pete I wouldn't go there...
Have you looked in the mirror? You’re one ugly dude. I just showed your picture to my wife and some of her friends. They are laughing their ass off. Please make it stop. And by the way, how many blogs have you been run off from now. I thought you started your own? I guess that didn’t work out. Better try law.
Jay Coulter
I'm not saying you're a closet homosexual...
but dudes don’t judge other dudes’ appearances. Thanks for replying the way you did in this post. Like someone said above, it just reinforces the idea most of us had about you: talentless, classless, and ignorant.
And if you believe graduating from Auburn is something special, I can count on two hands the number of recent AU grads I know that are waiting tables this very moment in Auburn, Alabama.
It’s really nice of her to stroke your ego like that, Jay. She’s a keeper. (Or maybe she just digs the inbred, ginger-kid look?)
You’re making my point pretty well, though: this isn’t not a beauty contest, and if the strongest argument you can come up with is “Based entirely on my fabricated opinion of what you look like, I’m probably in better shape than you are” . . . well, that really says it all, doesn’t it?
So Ben...
you didnt want to lay down your own opinion or your own top ten? Just cut paste insert insult huh?

I
stated in my post that I agreed with 2 of the 5 selections with a case being made for a 3rd (LSU). And it was a top 5, not a top 10.
Is it August yet?
So for Notre Dame
lets cross off conference and weather because God knows the weather in South Bend blows. You don’t think that tradition recruiting and budget more than make up for the rest? Say what you want about Notre Dame, but I think there are a heck of a lot of coaches who would jump at the chance to coach there. If the money is right I can def think of at least one…

And
if you don’t conform to the blind denial that everything is A-OK in Auburn, you get railed.

I beg to differ.
I definitely dont think things are kosher in Auburn nor have they been for awhile. And as far as conforming to ideas or getting lambasted I would point out the two posts that were here concerning “unrealistic expectations”, but they were deleted, which I find ironic.

A hurricane that may or may never every come." ’We’re going to have 12 hurricanes next year, we know they’re coming.’
- Coach Nick Saban
No
GT I don’t think it makes up for it. Just look at their record. And Jay is the one who set the criteria that HE didn’t follow, except for 2 out of the 5. It was a rediculous pointless post which is nothing new for fanboy Jay.
Is it August yet?
Its TET...
as was stated early, reasoning, logic, and basic reading skills arent required, the same qualities absent from an Auburn diploma.

Right.
Because Saban can’t handle the fan expectations. Even though we genuflect every time the guy is on TV.
Is it August yet?
and for LSU and USC
…ask Tulane and about a million other people about that awesome Louisiana weather.
USC facilities? They play in a city-owned ‘facility’- Legion Field West.
And since the weather factor did not omit northern teams, I would replace ND with Ohio State- Great stadium and like LSU, the whole state to yourself and the ability to recruit nationally.
Nice ‘research’- ND is not even in a conference and their TV ratings are going down the toilet.
I guess LSU is a top job now (not top 5 though). I wonder how that happened? That program was on life support 10 years ago. Hmmmm, I just can’t put my finger on it. Guess I need to do some researchin’.
I would have to think
Bama would be third.
*We have more tradition than UF or even Texas.
*Weather is good. It ain’t Florida in the winter, but it is very good during football season.
*Recruiting base is very good as the state of Alabama would be equal with Ga. Only behind the states of Texas and Florida, and way ahead of La.
*Facilities are really good.
*Conference- the best.
*Budget- which I don’t know to compare but Bama has plenty of money.
I’m sorry I just don’t see Notre Dame or LSU in the top 5. Oklahoma would easily beat these 2 out.
USC belongs but I don’t like their home stadium.
And- Jay is stupid
I hate the NCAA more than UT & AU combined. At least with UT & AU you got a fighting chance.

I was waiting for that
I am well aware of the quote. I also am not so ignorant to think that he wouldn’t have left Auburn for a better paying job. Hell he left Auburn for a well payed unemployment. I included the Saban quote to illustrate Saban’s past, which all the Bama fans seem to have forgotten the minute he stepped off the plane in Ttown.

What
choice do we have? He’s our coach when he stepped off that plane. We have no choice but to accept and embrace him. And I think Alabama fans have embraced Saban, even the negative stuff, as openly as anyone could’ve asked. I am not denying the past and I don’t think other fans are either. It comes with the package when you hire Nick Saban as your coach, like it or not. But we know what he is capable of. He is proving it before our very eyes. And to me, dealing with his past is well worth what he brings in terms of building the kind of program that he is building. I think you’d have him as your coach in heartbeat if given the opportunity.
Is it August yet?
Well Said
GT, your making a fair arugement, Saban has had a checkered past as far as some of his quotes, we all remember the waining weeks in Miami, but what we he to say, should the PR guy have stopped it before the DBag pushed him into that position, yes, but they didn’t. He was the head coach of the Dolphins, and if he would have said anything other than what he did, WH would have fired him, and if the Bama deal would have fallen through, he would have been unemployeed with a HUGE black eye. I think CNS is an honest man, one of his word, and one that will do as he says to you. He isn’t good with the media, but then again, some of the best coaches in our history, weren’t good with the press, (see Stallings, Gene, Bryant, Paul, Compared to those who were good with the media, see Curry, Bill)

He's a damn good coach
I can t argue that. I also agree he was painted into a corner when he made the statement. I;m sure he wished he hadnt said it the moment he did. I don’t believe that he is as good a guy as you think, but it is a matter of opinion and I would prob feel different if he was my coach. Like Ben said what choice do you have? I still dont like Chizik, but I’ll root for him.

Just go ahead and write a piece on why the Alabama job is the worst job in the history of sports and be done with it already.

Yep.
Can you say bias? Seriously, how can you even think this thread is even relevant? Go back to high school and learn that having a bias point of view completely nulls the reasoning in your thread (paper, essay, etc.).
If Chuck Norris and Nick Saban got in to a fight, we would all have to hide underground. For 7 months the earth would be uninhabitable, ash would rain from the sky, sonic booms could be heard in the distance, and skeletons of those who were unfortunate enough to meet the two would litter the landscape. Let us pray to almighty God that these two never cross each others path.

Well
The whole Saban thing should be expected, You cant blame the guy for what he said about taking the job here, What could he really say? That’s like asking a player if they will win their next game, I know of his past and reputation, But I also strongly believe that even if he doesn’t finish his career here, He will be here for quite awhile, His son has already transferred to Bama or is in the process of it, And his daughter has already made plans to be a cheerleader at Bama (If she makes it of course), I’m pretty sure that some fans will agree w/ me on this and some won’t, Now as far as the best coaching job goes, I agree w/ 5026 on this 4 the most part, The only “bad” part of being the coach at Bama would be the fan expectations, If you as a coach can deal w/ that, Well you should be alright, and love the job might I add.
GOD! I hate the fact that im about to somewhat…kinda….in a round about way take up for anyone from TeT cuase lord knows i pretty much hate 99% of thier “regulars” but….
The list seems pretty fair. Of course i would have put Alabama on that list but Im a homer. Especially if you are going to put ND on it. But if you compare academics with ND and UA….you’d have to admit that ND is one of the top notch universities in America…
Im fine with Texas cause i hear Austin is one banging town. Not sure if they are the BEST ever but currently i could see them here…BUT if you put Texas here shouldn’t Nebraska and OU get a nod?
UF….sure..Gainseville is hole….but they are in florida (recruiting hello) and the beach being like 30 mins away always helps
USC….can’t argue that one. Great school, history, weather…fanbase….complete control of a mega recruiting state…oh and they have the NCAA in their back pocket….
LSU could be swapped with Alabama, Ohio State, UGA, or pretty much any team with history….nice weather….and academics.
I guess what im saying is if this had been written by the guys over at Team Speed Kills and not from an Aubie…we probably wouldn’t have a problem with it.
Of course though i believe that Alabama should be on this list…great facilities, not great weather but….passionate and sometimes crazy fanbase..endless financial support…oh….just as much and if not more tradition then any of the schools he listed above..but i won’t discount the notion that he didn’t put us on this list b/c he is a barner…..but what do i know? Im just a silly bammer.
wait just a minute….after re-reading my post…its sounds like i don’t agree at all with Jay….go figure…..

Alright
You could swap LSU with Alabama or Ohio State but, not Georgia. I don’t think they are up to par with the other two schools as far as history or financial support. They have put some damn good teams on the field but i think they would belong at a 7 or 8 rank.

Are we a little miffed about being left off the list, Ben? Your response is typical to what bed-wetting liberals do when confronted with something they don’t like. They attack the messenger rather than the message. In my book, that’s Candyland…
It was the man’s opinion, but it can still be counter argued with fact. I don’t imagine you could put together an argument with those, huh?

Truth is....
that everyone would like their school to be on the LIST. The LIST goes as the success goes. At one time Nebraska, Colorado and Miami would have been locks for the top 5. If you look at the scene as it sits today then the top 3 on this LIST are as strong as it gets.
Alabama is NOT on the LIST after one somewhat solid season. Be a contender each year and/or(mostly "and") have won the NC in the last 3 years and then you are a lock for the top 5. If Bama has another sold (top 5) year and wins the NC in the next 2 years then YES they would/should be in the top 3.
Unfortunatly that won’t happen(sarcasm)….they won’t catch Florida. They will lose at least 2 each year….and lose to Auburn at the end of the year and get knocked down in the polls…….much like the Curry years.

How are you even justifying mocking the post
Lindytiger has made all valid statements. Just because your alabama dosent automatically give you a pass to being on the list. Grow up
ALABAMA leading the NCAA with infractions since 2001
I would agree...
…that the list is constantly in flux. I also agree that Alabama wouldn’t currently sit on the list.
I think the list is a solid one if you remove Notre Dame and replace them with Ohio State. It’d be pretty accurate over the last several years anyway. LSU will probably be the first to slip off of the list of the ones on there.
To the Alabama people…we haven’t even won the conference in a decade, there’s no way we’re one of the Top 5 jobs in CFB right now.
True-if you're considering recent history only..
The problem is that the author lays out his criteria and then completely deviates from the standard that he himself put in place, which destroyed the credibility of the piece. When I first read it, my first thought was that this was not written for intelligent debate, it was written for the sole purpose of leaving the Alabama job off of it . Call me paranoid if you will, but the author’s own childish remarks in this very thread confirms it. Besides, how can you place the LSU over this one?:
Your right.
The author puts himself in a precarious position by including ALL of school history. In that case we should defiantly be on the list.

I'm
not even trying to make a case for Alabama. That was not the theme of the post at all.
Is it August yet?
A better metric
Instead of guessing which are the “best” coaching positions, why don’t we just rank who pulled the highest-profile coaches with their last vacancy?
After all, no matter what some fan might think, all that really matters is how easy it is to fill a vacancy with a quality coach. See, e.g., the Barners who laughed about ’Bama fans wanting Saban or Spurrier because we should all have faced the “fact” that the Tide was washed up and was never going to get a great coach. Heh.

Even a Broken Clock is Right Twice a Day
FOR CHRISTS SAKE
How do you want me to spell this out for you??!? THE ISSUE IS NOT ABOUT HOW MUCH YOU OR I POST OR READ AT TET! Can you understand that sentence? Can you?
The issue is that Jay nor WEA can post a story whereby they A) follow their set standards, B) go without mentioning Bama or C) stick to the FACTS.
The fact that WEA posted at TET encouraging fans to come here and back him up, and jd brings up obsession has no bearing on the situation. Yes, dude, I really did have the guts to show FACTS about obsession when it was brought up.
So don’t respond with some BS about, “well you post at TET more than I do” or “this story has a lot of responses.” That has no bearing on the fact the TET posts more about Bama and generally shows a clear obsession when compared to RBR.
No rational mind here believes that Bama should be top 5 on the list. You have no argument – move on.
If you say it loud enough it makes it true!!!!! What a world to live in.

Let’s face it. We are rivals. Teams care about what their rivals are doing more than they care about non-rivals. The only difference is, I can admit that I check up on the goings on of Alabama. I’m not obsessed with Alabama. What I was trying to point out is that y’all care about the goings on of Auburn just as much. If you want to get in a link war with me, go ahead.
And as far as this thread not being about Auburn, I can almost promise you if it were posted in the exact same manner (sans the stuff about Auburn) at another site, nobody would have posted about it here. Alabama is not a top five job in the country right now. Alabama is certainly on an upswing, and could get into top five job category as soon as next year. Auburn is not a top five job in the country. We are on a little bit of a downswing, and hit a low point when we hired Chizik. However, he has made some very good assistant hires, pulled in a solid recruiting class (especially considering how the class Tuberville had put together fell apart after the firesignation) and generally has the program back on its feet. He will be successful if he lets his assistants do their work and delegates authority. The more control he has, the worse we will be. Not saying we will go 12-0 next year or anything, probably not even 8-4 or 9-3, but we should be a solid, upper half of the SEC team next year if Chizik delegates his power.
One last thing. I will say I find some of our postings about Alabama a little bit childish and sophomoric. But it’s not my site, so they should run it the way they want to. If you don’t like it, don’t read it.

I knew this was coming...
so I should have hit it in my post before…but like you mentioned, the distinction is stories by writers belonging to SBN (which was every link I provided) and posts by random fans (which was every link you provided). The posts here by random fans could be Auburn nutjobs trying to make us looked obsessed, which has happened before.
I’m glad you’re not the only one that finds TET posts childish. I wish SBN would find decent writers that actually deliver quality Auburn content. TET diminishes the quality of what SBN is trying to deliver.
Maybe you could step in?
I'll get to your response one part at a time
Yes, they are fanposts. Ours are by the blog writers. That’s a fair response. But it still gets posted on the front page. Not the entire article, mind you, but at least the title (all of which have Auburn or something about Auburn in them). If Todd and Nico wanted to, they could immediately delete any fanposts about Auburn. I wouldn’t suggest that, because as I’ve been arguing, part of what makes college football discussions fun — to me at least — is talking about other teams, particularly rivals. As far as their possibly being by "Auburn nutjobs, " I went back and looked at the authors of all eleven of the posts. Most of them were by people (kleph, bammer, Bens4vcobra, etc.) that I recognize as regular posters on this site, and they are definitely Tiders. If kleph, bammer, or Ben were actually “Auburn nutjobs” in disguise, that would be the most intricate and well-done disguising in history. Also, kleph’s fanpost was bumped to the front page, and one fanpost was written by Nico. Just FYI.
I didn’t say I find TET posts childish. I said “I find some of our postings about Alabama a little bit childish and sophomoric.” On the whole, I think Jay, WEA, Acid and Zack do a fine job of giving us Auburn analysis and insight for free. When it comes to some of the things they do post about Alabama, sometimes it’s a little immature. But that’s only a minor complaint. It’s not something that would make me stop reading TET.
Lastly, I doubt I could ever take over for TET because blogging takes time, and lots of it. It’s hard to come up with material every day, even about something you love as much as I love Auburn. For that, my hat’s off to them (as well as Todd and Nico).

Sure...
Because Alabama’s day-to-day operations in April are just as news-worthy as Auburn hiring a new coach with a 5-12 record.
Logic never was your strong suit, was it jd?
You want to lecture me on logic?
Did you even look at the links brandon posted? One was a picture of Alabama players at an elementary school that WEA used to poke some fun at Alabama. One was about Julio being named a senator at UA. Fair enough, I wouldn’t have posted about that if it were my blog, but it’s not. The others:
A recap of the 2005 Iron Bowl that is in Acid Reign’s series of “Tommy Tuberville’s greatest games.” One of them happened to be against Alabama.
A review of a Scarbinsky article about Saban not telling recruits about potential NCAA infractions.
Two articles about said potential NCAA infractions.
It’s not like we’re talking about the weather in Tuscaloosa or anything, or how fast Nick Saban drives to work.
Meanwhile, yes I would expect Alabama fans to be talking about “hiring a new coach with a 5-12 (sic) (sigh) record.” Would I expect it to happen eleven times? No. Apparently I shouldn’t have put that past you.

Someone needs to.
Here’s the thing: we’re division rivals. A LOT of things that happen to one team are going to be relevant to the other. The only point at which you can really start criticizing for “obsession” is when things get posted that have no bearing.
See, e.g., Julio Jones’ election to student government, or the photo of the players at the grade school.
9 of the 10 posts referenced above were about coaching issues (the other was about Chizik, but not football related), were written by 9 different authors, and it was December. Football news is hard to come by during those last few weeks of the year. Did we go a little over-board on the coverage? Maybe, but you’re cherry-picking our coverage of the biggest news of Auburn’s off-season to try and compete with an average month at TET.
So, yeah, you need a little lesson on how to compare apples to apples. Like, for example, how about taking a look at the same period of time? Or picking two time-periods during which not much was going on for either team?
I have no opinion about who’s right here, but your list of posts does not mean what you think it means.
The month of December
11 fanposts at RBR about Auburn.
0 fanposts and 0 main posts at TET about Alabama
Here’s the thing: we’re division rivals. A LOT of things that happen to one team are going to be relevant to the other.
I already said this above:
Let’s face it. We are rivals. Teams care about what their rivals are doing more than they care about non-rivals.

I have to agree with jd about who put up all the fanposts on RBR. I was sick of Chizik in December on this site, just like I was sick of Kiffin in February. If I read half of that crap, it was a stretch and I don’t remember commenting either. If I did, it was only a couple of times, and I’m not one to be quiet. If I had been interested in the subject matter, I would have commented.
IMO you, Ben, bammer, and some others like to have these asinine arguments with the Barners. I don’t consider them “discussions” because they usually degenerate into name calling and the same ole, same ole mud slinging. Why haven’t ya’ll learned that you can’t reason with a Barner? It’s in their DNA to be obtuse.

It wasn’t the fact that Alabama was not on it, it was the thrown-together nature of the piece that, coming from an au site, seemed to have been for the sole purpose of NOT including the Alabama job.
Do you really believe that?
If you really believe that Jay would write a post that not once mentions Alabama “for the sole purpose of NOT including the Alabama job,” then you are one of the most delusional homers I’ve ever come across.

The reason I thought that is because as mentioned
throughout this thread, is that the article as a whole did not even make sense. Of course I can’t prove it and I know it sounds paranoid but as I posted earlier in the thread, the comment by the author to one of RBR’s members on this very thread lead me to believe that could have very well been the case.
Or maybe
it is because some bama fans think the whole damn world revolves around them, therefore how could ANYONE at TET write ANYTHING without having some kind of alterior anti bama crap going on. Not everyone cares about bama as much as you guys hope they do – no matter how many articles you link to or ones you recreate here (which is ironic to me) we just dont really care as much as you think

If you ever have a chance, go to a Big 10 game i.e Indiana or Purdue and puke at the laughable in game antics and poor traditions. I struggle to make it through the off season with no chatter from my neighbors about SEC football……they just don’t understand the flavor it has. My Michigan friend traveled with me to Tuscaloosa for the Iron Bowl this past year and even he couldn’t believe how superior the SEC atmosphere is to even the best schools in the Big 10 i.e. Michigan and O- State.
So, whatever you think….. Bammer or Barner…..it could be worse. You could be stuck in this football hell hole I live in.

Dear Lord this got out of hand.

GEEZE people, i agree, Jay didn’t follow his own standards, but we are probably a top 10 job now, I’d say around 8. Give CNS 2-3 more years, I feel we’ll be in the top 5…. Scary part, during the 03-04 season’s AU was probably a better job than here, but Tubby eventually ruined that, Thankfully. But in the end it’s all someone’s opinion, Auburn could win the next 15 MNC and we would not think that its the best job in America, because we hate them, as they probably couldn’t admit we were the best job in America during the late 70s… Opinions, they are like assholes, everyone has them.

Some of the TET guys (leaving GT out of this one because he hasn’t gone there) took it to a level that some of us responded too and shouldn’t have. After that the entire thread was ruined.

Ok, Jay...
The Best Part about your little rant… Is that you didn’t even graduate from Alabama. Have any of you actually graduated from Alabama?
Not sure what that has to do with anything. Do you think everybody that fills up Jordan-Hare on Saturdays in the fall all have degrees from Auburn? I’d bet money that half of them don’t. Awesome point though, and not at all predictable. Could it get better than this? Could Fanboy Jay have fired off his best bullet on the first shot? Lets read on…
Does a diploma from South Alabama constitute having a degree. Last time I visited, it was a sh!t hole.
I’d rather have a degree from USA any day of the week over Auburn. And that is especially reinforced after seeing the product that the journalism dept puts out over there. Or did you major in sociology?
Mobile>Opelika
As for the fanboy comment, I believe that describes you more than me. You see I actually graduated from Auburn –
Wait, so your argument that you are NOT a fanboy is that you went to the school you cover and write about for a living? You’re an idiot Jay. And your “insults” are pathetic just like you’re writing.
not some Division II commuter school.
USA is a Division 1 school Jay, they play in the Sun Belt, a Division 1 league. How are your insults supposed to stick if you can’t even get the details right Jay?
And while you are at it, go ahead and scrape the hounds tooth hat decal off the back of your Chevrolet Malibu.
Wrong again Jay, don’t drive a Malibu and don’t have any ’Bama related sickers or tags on my car. Not only are you a fanboy idiot with absolutely zero writing talent, you are also lame.
And how about posting a real avatar of yourself. My guess is you are about 100 lbs overweight. When I saw your avatar the first thing I thought of was that Brad Paisley song, "Online."
Not overweight at all Jay. I stay in pretty good shape as a matter of fact. Would you like to see in person? I’m thinking that if you were standing in front of me right now, you would take a slightly less condesending tone, Jay. If you would like to arrage a meeting so you can see for yourself how overweight I’m not, you can shoot me an email. Its located in my SBN profile, you know the one where you got information about me so you could craft your scathing rebuttal. I look forward to hearing from you.
Now go upstairs and tuck your mom in bed loser. P.S. – Bear is still dead. Get over it!
Loser? Wow Jay, you’re about as creative in your insults as you are in your writing. I’m not old enough to recall the Bryant days so reminding me that Bear is dead is sorta like reminding me that Lincoln is dead. It really has no effect on me because in my mind, they are both just historical figures.
Is it August yet?
Guys!
please ignore TeT’s new post! Its complete garbage and is meant to rile us all up. I really hope none of us go over there and try to “finish” what they started. I gave up on TeT a long time ago…lets ignore it and move on!
Plus how ridiculous is it for a fan of a team that just went 6-7…hired a coach that just finished what 5-17 that OUR team is that one that is irrelevant…
Alabama is number two in its own state. I continually laugh at how Alabama people stick out their chest with pride because they finally fielded a decent football team – nevermind that embarrassing blowout to Utah. The Tide athletic program is pretty much inferior to Auburn’s in every way. Look across the board at all sports. They are mediocre at best. With probation looming in football and Saban just a phone call away from leaving, it’s likely the football team’s success this past year is just an anomaly
just that statement alone shows how dumb the post is….
‘When you build a house and you make it hurricane-proof by putting certain kinds of windows in it, and use cement instead of stick construction and all that kind of stuff, you’re getting prepared for what? A hurricane that may or may never every come." ’We’re going to have 12 hurricanes next year, we know they’re coming.’

Bammer
you are giving them too much cred. They went 5-7 last year, and their coach is 5-19.
Is it August yet?
my bad...
it will never happen again :)

Once
again they have to hope for probation and Saban leaving for them to have any chance at success. I know that post is a joke, but it is more revealing than they will ever know…
Is it August yet?
thats why i say leave it alone
his points are so crazy out there that they make no sense. He’s just trying to boost TeT’s hits. Lets not give in to him…

just checked my posts...
out of say…50+…2 were on TeT…and one of those was from today….see when you debate…there is this thing called evidence…or fact. I know this is something new to you guys over at TeT, so im not surprised you don’t use it. But the next time you open your mouth….speak truth…or just go away, cause i don’t have time to mess with idiots…

The greatest thing about his new post...
Is that it was obviously a ploy to rile Bama fans up, but some AU fans chimed in agreeing with all of the extreme, stereotypical barner diatribe. I guess the most ironic thing about it is that they believe that Bama fans honestly think that way. They took the bait on their own fan blogsite.
You are correct..
I don’t know if those guys are just stupid or just not reading what’s been said, but as it has been pointed out SEVERAL times: The original post and 99% of the comments have nothing to do whether Alabama should or shouldn’t be on his list. It was how lame the article as a whole is.

We are not
Hoping for anything Auburn can beat Alabama Straight up just like we did in past years. But can you beat an Auburn team that isnt struggling?

this is not TET...
Please learn to form a complete sentence we all can understand before posting. Thanks.
Please for the Love
End this thread, and WEA or Jay please end it over there. Does pointless dribble help your team in any way? Does it help us that Auburn sucked last year? No, if AU was 11-0 and we beat them by 14 it would have been better for Bama, although maybe not as satisfing for some, than beating a 5 win team by 36. So I pose a question, does AU really want us to go on probation? Do you want us to be as bad as we were in 2003? I would hope not, I sure don’t wish that on you. It only hurts each other when the other team sucks
"The game demonstrated the superiority of the Southern teams over any aggregation that the damn yankees could send across the Mason and Dixon Line." Sports writer Charles Israel of the Philadelphia Bulletin after the Tide's 61-6 win over Syracuse in the 1953 Orange Bowl.
I
agree its pointless now. Although I’m flattered that I inspired such a response.
Is it August yet?
END THIS S%^$ NOW PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
