    LSU is a top 7 team and Miami will rise.  

    Penn State is terrible overrated. I don't think they'll be ranked at year end, losing Saquan and a couple others is huge, mostly Saquan though.  PSU talent level looks MAC to me. 

    They also lost a key component to MissSt. MissSt is bad about destroying other teams by taking their OC and making them their HC. See the beginning of the downfall of UF, after they took Mullen away from Urbie.

  2. As a redditor myself, it is a bad place to get the best meltdown material. I used to post a good bit on RBR and when they started doing the meltdown threads, I would gather some of the best stuff from the Shag and hand deliver it to them. Even after I stopped handing it to them, they kept looking there for a while. The last few years though, they got really lazy and just get everything from reddit threads.

    The backstory is moving faster than I had hoped. I'd love a few seasons of Saul Goodman doing his thing getting Nacho, Badger and associates out of jail before merging into BB. The intro flashback was enjoyable. Still wondering/hoping if there will be a Kim spinoff. That's fertile ground begging to be plowed.

    Flash forward.

     

    I expect the final episode will be entirely set in the present(Jimmy's present). Maybe even somehow with Kim. I expect her stroy to kind of veer away from the show by the end of this season or early next, which is what send him on his final delve into the Saul personality.

    Nick Satan is coming apart under his own stress he puts on himself. Dude has some mental issues. I remember when they beat Gawgia he got up there and was like HOW WAS THAT FOR AN ENTERTAINING FOOTBALL GAME like he knew everyone was tired of their dumbasses being in every CFP. 

    I don't see him being there when we play them in a few years.

    Wrong, he has always been this way. He sends messages to the team and fans, through the media. He lives for this shit. Now he may retire before the Texas series but it will not be because of stress. He feeds off stress and Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies. He is always mad after a Bama blowout of another team, always happy after a close win and reflective after the rare losses. It is part of his psychological message to his teams.

    Jesus...she looks like Shawn Bradley compared to him...but Im sure Sabans absolutely tired of getting asked that. The obvious answer is Tua is the starter while Hurts is used as a change up every once in a while

    She asked him about it pregame, at halftime and postgame. She took the bullet but it was not her questions, they were being fed to her. He is just not going to say anything bad about Jalen. Dude is obviously not a future NFL QB like Tua(if he stays healthy, fingers crossed) but he has been a hard worker and a team player by every measure. He just does not have "it". Tua is the most gifted QB Bama has had since the 60's with Namath and Stabler. If Brodie Croyle were not made of glass, he would be in that conversation.

    Watch Seven Psychopaths. Same director that did Three Billboards and In Bruges. But, Seven Psychopaths is my favorite movie of all time. Best dialogue of any movie I've ever seen. 

    Seen it and liked it. It would not be my top movie of all time but it was a solid 8/10 for me. FWIW, 7 and above are rewatchables. 9 and above are ones I would actually own.

    The NCAA doesn't "recognize" national championships in football.  It merely mentions a team if a poll makes them a national title.  By the way, if Colley counts, then OKST should be shown in 2011, because that same poll made us national champs.  I'm glad it doesn't though.

    They have listed the Pokes for '11, ND for '12, Clemson for '15 and Bama for '16. Threepeat, bitches. I guess enough people bitched about them listing UCF, the next day they went back and added Colley for the rest of the years.

     

    In reality, I do not go by the claimed 17 titles, as they are all MNCs, even the ones under the CFP. FTR, Bama started the "claimed 12 NCs" to thumb their noses at ND, after the Bama-Miami game in Jan '93. ND claimed 11, so the Bama SID dug up 12 claims. He would have been better off and thrown more shade at ND, to claim '66, rather than '41.

    I did. He graduated 2 years ahead of me at Ford high school in Quinlan.   Dustin was actually the last Texas player recruited by Gene Stallings.    He was an all-state tailback with incredible natural athletic ability.  

    Him and Chris Samuels opened up some nice holes for Shaun, on that left side of the line.

    I'd consider Saun Alexander to be the better back.  BTW, I went to high school with his fullback.  

    Shaun had a little more wiggle and was little shiftier. DH is stronger, faster and more durable. The one knock on both was their first step was/is slow, as both were/are big guys, Shaun a little wider, DH a little taller. I assume you went to school with Dustin McClintock. I think he held or may still hold the Alabama record for most consecutive starts(back when they still used a FB).

    Of course I'm biased toward Barry, but it's a tough comparison when you look at him vs. Ricky, Bo or Herschel.  The latter three certainly had better total careers, just because their impact was spread out over multiple seasons.

    Barry had this crazy, out-of-this-world season that I don't think anyone will ever touch... Of course he was also really good in '87, it was just that his impact was more as a kick returner.  But as a feature back he had one season. And man was it ever a season.

    So it's tough to compare that with those other guys who had multiple great seasons.

    I don't quantify it by raw numbers alone, I go off of pure talent. Sometimes a great can be stuck in a bad situation or behind an incumbent starter. Barry, then Bo and Herschel are really the three best pure RBs in cfb history, in my mind. Ricky is right there knocking on the door of the top 3. Derrick Henry now owns the SEC single season rushing record, note I did not put him up there with Bo or Herschel. He would come in around the borderline top 10 and I consider him to be the best RB Bama has ever had(just a hair ahead of Shaun Alexander). The thing that Barry and to a little lesser extent, Bo and Herschel had, was that backfield elusiveness to go along with being a physical beast. Very few have both.

    Saw Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie in The Woodlands last night. Manson on made it through five songs before he quit. Not sure if he couldn't take the heat or he's just in horrible shape. Probably a combination of both. 

    I've never seen Rob Zombie but he put on a heck of a show.

    Rob is a health nut.
