The Tide


just dropped a nuclear bomb on the college football world.

It's still two-thousand and Saban.

I weep for the little one still in your wife's womb. To be brought up in a world of propaganda and living in the past with all of your hope on one overpaid coach.

Oh, he did land some good recruits. And we all know they will be fine up standing young men, eager to learn and develop into mature leaders and get a great education from a state university.

Will Saban still be around when these recruits get playing time?

Nice one, Matt. When I saw you were the first to comment I admit I was expecting a lame response. But that was a masterpiece. Well done.

Jason G. said...

Yes, Matt's response was a masterpiece - and totally original too!

If the content was original it wouldn't have been funny because there wouldn't be anything to "get." It was the presentation that impressed me. He made obvious critiques interesting and funny.

Seriously, that's the best you Auburn boys can do? At least grab onto Ears' spin job and claim that we're desperate and that recruiting rankings don't matter and that y'all got the guys y'all wanted. Never mind that of the 17 guys Auburn went head-to-head with Alabama for, the War Tigers got exactly none of them.

And as sure as God made little green apples, Nick Saban will be at Alabama longer than Tommy Tuberville will be at Auburn.

nice try.

Matt Churnock said...

wow, talk about unoriginal stuff!

Adair, that was lame! and I don't know you gambling status but I would wager $20 that Saban will not be at the University of Alabama Tuscaloosa for 10 years and an additional $20 that a one Julio Jones will in fact be a better taco salesman (being that he is off Latino decent and I like stereotypes) than a wide receiver in the SEC.

I just thought of this: Your two big recruits Star Jackson and Julio Jones... Star Jones... The view flunkie...

interesting...

From yesterday's Birmingham News:

Like a little boy who got socks and underwear for Christmas while all of his buddies got really cool toys, Tommy Tuberville did his best to make signing day 2008 sound as if it were everything he really wanted.

Now that is pretty good.

I must quote dear Tubs after the recruiting battle. He had two terse jewels.

-"Recruiting is a very small part of a coaches job."

- "Anybody can recruit."

Xen Scott said...

I can't help myself...two more quotes.

First from the Sporting News: "If you aren't scared of BAMA yet, you better be."

Second from Tom Lemming, CSTV: "Within 4 years Alabama will win a National Championship...Done Deal..."

You should have left off with the Birmingham News quote. The last few quotes you've put up are asinine.

Xen Scott said...

Ok, well pretend I said that one last.

Matt Churnock said...

Jed,
Perhaps you should have posted the rest of the quote from Tubbs:

"Recruiting is a small part of a coach's job, the No. 1 part is evaluating."

Leave it to Alabama Fans (and FV guys)to ignore context.

I will give Ears some credit - he does a nice job of evaluating talent. But he now has to deal with the perception that he got outworked in a conference with two maniacal recruiters in Saban and Meyer.

And while it sounds nice to claim that Auburn didn't need to recruit because they're already well-stocked. Ummm, did anyone notice the class Georgia got? The same Georgia that's already more talented than Auburn?

I'm just asking...

Xen Scott said...

I promise this is my last post on this (unless goaded to do otherwise), but since my comments have been called assinine, I thought I would go ahead and fill the bill.

How do you keep Auburn fans from voting for Obama?

Put a "G" in front of his name.

Jed, I wasn't calling your comments asinine, I was referring to the comments from those journalists you quoted.
