No kidding. It's not hard to win championships with the questionable tactics they had back when they WERE winning them. If you don't know what I'm talking about, do a little research on Bear Bryant.

As for bandwagon fans, I still think it's funny that you can call me that without knowing a thing about me Out of curiosity, on what grounds am I a bandwagon fan?

I really don't have a dog in this hunt as I'm not a bama fan, but what tactics are you talking about? I've lived 90 miles from Tuscaloosa all my life and have no idea what your talking about. Back in Bear's day, they could basically recruit all the players they wanted. Didn't have the scholarship limits that they do today. When the NCAA started putting limits on the number of scholarships a school could offer, UA's dominating success started to decline. I believe that was somewhat towards the end of Bear's career.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the year in college football. I hope my Miss State dogs can manage to have another winning season. Would love to see them slip in another bowl. That would do wonders for recruiting. Recruiting is already going well for 2009. We are dominating in the state of MS which we have not done for a long time. Winning sure helps in that department.

First, Princeton is the all-time leader in football national championships if you consider all championships awarded in all years. Alabama is notorious for counting the Birmingham newspaper's title as a "national" championship.

Second, pro football using college as such a major recruiting ground and offering major rookie contracts in the early 80s (see USFL) killed the Alabama-Notre Dame model. Players were no longer willing to sit on the bench to win for legendary programs when they could get big bonuses starting for 3-4 years as a big fish in a small pond. Money, not scholarships, killed the Bear Bryant school of recruiting.

How long are you going to keep playing the "cheating" card? Lame excuse.

How is offering scholarships to the best athletes cheating?

The NCAA was a lot more lax about scholarships and the division between college and professional athletes. If you want to blame someone for the success of Notre Dame and Alabama, you need to blame the NCAA.

Funny, the word success and ND, Alabama isn't exactly synonymous these days.

Heard about Wendell Smith recently?

And Reggie Bush and Rhett Bomar and half of USC's players and most of the major schools in the country, likely including both Georgia and Georgia Tech.

Everyone does it and when you get caught you face penalties.

If it wasn't true it would be different.

Need a tissue to cry in?

Stick behind Georgia Southern. I'm sure you're boasting for GT because of their recent success. I stick right with Bama. No matter how their performance of late has been. Not going to turn into a worthless Buckeyes bandwagon fan like the rest of Ohio.

Aren't you Mr. "Who cares about the past. We only talk about recent stats?"

Are you naive enough to think illegal recruiting doesn't happen at all big schools?

Funny. The Big 10 gets their tails handed to them by the SEC and you are here running your mouth? Alabama's last two bowl games against Big 10 opponents....2-0. Took down Michigan and OSU both.

Recent success? Have you followed college football lately? GT has only won more than 7 games ONCE recently.

I was trying to cater to your Bama logic by talking about the past

Hence...recent. Nice try at a cover-up.

      Hybrids

      By p1n9183 ·

      Have a 19° (moved to 20.5°) Titleist 915H. I just love the club. Beautiful feel off the sweetspot, high launch, soft landing. Versatile. In the future, with less overall speed I will replace my 4 and 5 irons with another hybrid, something around 26°.

      Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?

      By p1n9183 ·

      Broke the head of a Stealth Plus on a warm up. TaylorMade send me a new head but I decided to upgrade it to the new IQ10 LS and pay the difference. While I was waiting for the 8° head to arrive at the store I messed around with all the multi brand putts they had available. I instantly liked a black TaylorMade Spider, not the new one but very similar. The weight felt perfect. Big line in the middle for easy alignment. I was playing and old Zebra so the change in technology and feel was huge. Fast review of both clubs.. Driver QI10 LS. I always hit to ball up in the sky. I was playing the stealth at 7° with a 60g X low flight shaft and I was still hitting it pretty high. With the QI10 playing it at 6° now is almost hard for me to hit it high, with the same shaft the ball comes out lower and with less spin. so I'm really happy with the change. Putter Spider. I love it. It took me an afternoon to figure out how to grip it (it comes with a superStroke grip) but after that it all came into place. More stable on short putts and a good weight to swing smoothly on long putts and with added forgiveness over my old zebra.

      I have a 2h but we don’t get along anymore. It’s a bit of an abusive relationship - she gives me just enough hope once in a while that things are going to be better and then it’s back to the same old shit. I went to a PING fitting recently with the intention to replace the hybrid with a 5w or something, thinking maybe I’ll be better with a fairway wood than a hybrid. But it turns out the best club I hit that fits in that slot in the bag is another hybrid so I ordered it.

      Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?

      By GolfLug ·

      Not the last thing I bought or bought anything at all but Sun Day Red stuff seems a bit overpriced for it essentially being rebranded Nike apparel. I'm hearing the resale prices are wild though. Either way, I highly doubt I will indulge as I'm not much of a brand guy or a collector. But to keep up my super nice guy image have never turned down a gift though 😇 Tiger doesn't seem to sell stuff like MJ or Kanye did.
