by changing the schedules this year alabama is getting “special treatment.” which overlooks the fact that the practice of overloading one team with post-by-week opponents is clearly unfair and has been directed at alabama by it’s sec opponents for quite some time now.

this situation is the inverse of the ncaa’s pandering actions in light of the coach-in-waiting nonsense our own pete holiday pointed out recently.

the problem is that if the sec does the right thing and fixes this ridiculous situation it feeds the CHEATIN BAMMER chorus of idiots on the internet. and when we win all these contests that’ll get louder as they wail about there was no way a team could overcome that kind of schedule without help.

whatever. i see this is the brand of whining we should expect from the rest of the conference now we are back in our rightful place of beating their asses with regularity. it’s been a long time coming and i’m planning to enjoy every little bit of it.

are extremely low. playing at the level of competition in the conference and controlling things like injury make it hard enough – sustaining the type of play needed for that kind of success is almost impossible.

but coach saban preaches that one of the keys to success is becoming a “nightmare” for your opponent. this kind of wussified nonsense is a vivid demonstration that he’s certainly achieved that portion of the process.

…one of the “reasons” for the recent trend of disproportionate post-bye conference scheduling is that teams have some say in when they can take their bye, and a lot of teams were choosing to rest up before Alabama. So essentially the rest of the SEC is a bunch of pussies.

What amounts to a “scoot” for Richardson would probably be a “truck” for anyone else. I pity the safety that catches him in full Richardson “truck mode.”
