And BTW, we had to play your "great, God loves us best, team" and still were ranked higher on D. You and many of bama fans like you have become more and more like Ole Miss minus the losses. Post on a bama board. Try this site: www.bama sidewalk fans. com.Quote:

You are 100% right. They'll revert back to Alabama 1983-2006. Which is honestly pretty good as a whole- but not good enough for them. No one is going to want to be the guy to follow Saban.Quote:

And I would imagine that quite a few have LSU stuff from back in the early 2000's, a Tim Tebow jersey or two, and maybe even some Auburn stuff to go along with their Alabama stuff.
The bad thing about it is most of those fans tend to be the ones that talk the most about how awesome their "team of the year" is and run smack. If I was an Alabama alum I would be pretty ashamed and embarrassed much like most MSU fans are embarrassed by Stingray. I understand that smack is part of it but it's pretty rich coming from people that didn't attend a particular school. And ironically less of the smack comes from people that actually attended the school and thus have more of a tangible connection to the school.
I actually agree that Alabama being so dominant isn't really that good for the SEC. It basically causes lack of interest. And then when you throw consistently questionable officiating on top of everything else- it makes it almost like watching wrestling. When we played Alabama this year I didn't care that much because I knew that we were either going to get blown out or play hard and really well but then screwed by the officials. And that's exactly what happened. The only good thing is the media is starting to point it out- and if it keeps going eventually the reputation of the league will be compromised. If Alabama is that good- why do they need so much help? And why is that good for the SEC? Is Georgia not worthy to represent the league?
I also don't get the media love for Tua. It's kind of weird how ESPN and CBS latch on to certain players.
Anyway- back to your point. As long as Saban is there the SEC is going to give them a lot of love and there's not really anything anyone can do about it until he retires. Hopefully as far as us we will be in a good position as a program to win our share after the Saban era ends. Whenever that will be. Probably after he passes Bear Bryant in National Titles. Which he would do if he wins it all this year. And that would also tie him with the Bear for the most at Alabama. The Bear has 321 wins to Saban's 231 at the time as well. So, he's 92 away from that if that's what he is going for. In this era I would guess it would take him 8-10 years to better that which would put him around age 75-77 to break that. I'm just not sure what his personal goals are.
I'm not exactly sure why they are in denial about us having a better defense this year. Or why it matters with them being 13-0.Quote:

Just go.
You're not important enough to leave a fairwell message that includes parting shots at specific members...on a forum that is not topical of the team that you support.
I live 5 miles from the bama state line. Their fans feel entitled and can't stand it because other fans don't worship at their feet. The sidewalk fans and "MS. fans" are worse. There are more bama fans in my NE MS county than MSU and UM combined. Most of their vehicles must be held together by the 5 to 10 bama stickers on them.
Extremely....fast clap👏 for.....mr Tusk...!!Quote:

Ole Miss has many sidewalk fans but it doesn't fill their stadium. The whole point about side walk fans are they don't go to games. They don't buy season tickets. They didn't go to school there. They have the biggest A's in their windows. Sidewalk fans do nothing but make your school look like dopes. Most of all they usually talk the most smack.Quote:

Never pull for Bama---Bama winning is never a positive thing for MSU. I hope Boomer Sooner scores 100.
This. The reputation of the SEC is already compromised and has been for years to much of the country outside the SEC and us SEC programs who refuse to "know our place". bama is a great program and doesn't need any other help. SEC officiating is terrible, (from Dick Pace to today).Quote:

I'd bet that we are the only SEC school that has at least one person on a message board "We gotta be careful with Samford because they gotta a good quarterback and I remember that one time we lost to Maaainee." Heck- our fans still talk about Tech and 10 and losing to Houston 74-0 to this day.
I think part of our fans problem with that is the MSU internet culture has made it "cool to be objective" to the point where a lot of times our fans actually end up belittling our program. Unintentionally. And I don't think that there is any SEC school that does that.
And I forgot to address this in the OP.
This guy is talking about how we aren't serious about football because we don't cheat like Auburn or Ole Miss...
You can NOT blame MSU fans for not wanting to cheat if you look at our history and the circumstances with Ole Miss right now. Tyler got nailed after doing the same thing that he learned from Vaught and the Bear. We got hammered under Jackie. Heck, we got penalized more than we should have as recently as 2012 with Will Redmond. At the same time Ole Miss has gotten on probation as well and their program is a dumpster fire right now. Why would MSU fans want to imitate that? So we can win a Sugar Bowl just to vacate it and have to suffer for approximately five years of bad football? Or we can continue to win about 9 games a year as we have done every year since 2014 except for 2016 knowing that we are eventually going to likely break through to the point where our ceiling is now 12-0 and our floor is starting to become 9-4. I would absolutely take that long term compared to where both Ole Miss and Auburn are right now.
Good post Todd. I'd rather continue our blue collar approach than succumb to shitbird tactics then face shitbird realities that shitbird is facing these days.Quote:

We absolutely can progress with a developmental approach. I think the biggest issue before was that Dan would check out at the end of the year which cost us at least two maybe even three Egg Bowls which hurt us in the perception department despite winning 8-9 games. That's why winning the Egg Bowl is so important for us and why it should remain that way. Not saying that we should fight them every time and act like Ole Miss in 2017 or anything like that. But emphasis on the game is important. Because a lot of those three star developmental guys are from Mississippi. And then losing I think potentially hurts us with the 4-5 star players in the classes of the future. If we start to become the football program in Mississippi we will start to land more and more of those four and five star players in state.Quote:

Ths egg bowl is indeed highly important for multiple reasons. Fans like me get think good things about it on occasion for the next 365 days as opposed to that gut punch feeling for one.Quote:

If we could overcome shitbird and their cheating, we could have a program close to the same level as LSU.
Shitbird knows this. This is why they are lying about us regarding their probation. They will continue to try to destroy us by any means necessary. We on the other hand want them destroyed too but we don't have to take action like they do cuz they do it to themselves.
