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.

If it wasn't true it would be different.

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.

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.

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

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

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

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
