Quick, someone mail this thread to Ramah/BlancoBobOnSabans*i*k. Maybe he'll finally get some relief from that 5 year Saban erection. :hihi:
to give props to the original posting... I found the link: http://dumbidity.typepad.com/dumbidity/ A Reading from the Letter of schmed to the Sabanites And I say unto ye, the time of wailing and gnashing of teeth and rending of garments and beating of brestes is come to an end. For of the time of St. Nick, who among ye disrecall his Twenty-Fourth Hour Commandment? Whether festival song or dirge, St. Nick shall countenance but one day, lest ye fail to focus on thy next task. Grieve not! This trial, this tribulation is of no moment. Since the earliest days of the SEC Nation, did not the legacy of the Prophet Bernie Moore be taken up by Tinsley? And did not Tinsley's dim torch be rekindled by St. Paul of Dietzel into blazing NCAA Glory and from thence depart to the Armies of, uh...well, Army? And lo! His faithful Disciple, Cholly Mac, did hold forth for a generation, only to be spurned by his flock - many of them among ye in this time. Only thence did MaClendon preach his final sermon in the City near the Land of the Mouse and held a Wake in the Forest of the Decons. And he brought also Glory to that florid city by his works. Look not for the uncertainty that came with Jerry, the Prodigal Coach. Pray not for the like of the aged mercenary Arnsparger, who raised up a false prophet, Archer the Usurper, who then fomented the vast darkness of Curly. Sing no praises for magicians who would clothe the Tigers in false raiment (like those awful purple pants) from the House of Dinardo. Instead, lendeth ye positive vibes to the teacher of teachers, Stanley of the Five Rings, who seeketh the next prophet to Lead the Tribe of Tigers in the Valley of Death. For it has ever been so, that the prophets shall be of a time and then no more, as shall each member of the Striped Tribe in their years of four or one. Though they depart, the Flame of LSU Football is kept by the Faithful who shall be in number as the blades of hybrid turfgrass. I tell ye, the reign of a glorious coach is at an end. Prepare ye, ye of faith wavering or strong. Thou knowest when the Saturday cometh to again put the flesh of unblemished beast and fowl to the embers, and tend thy kettles of rice and meats and boiling pots for more times of plenty. And thou shalt raise thy voices with horns and drums in exhortation and song, clear and slurred, in the reign of a new coach.
Your defense & recruiting comments have already been proven wrong. I'd like to take the next step. Miles hasn't pissed away any more than Saban did. Miles has lost ONE game, no more than even Saban during his national championship season. Saban also lost 3 games last year, when we were a national championship contender - so according to you, he must have pissed that away as well. Another point. Saban got lucky, very lucky to get into the national championship game with a home loss to a mediocre Florida team. How special would that season have been without a crystal trophy? Not near as special. You put Saban on a pedastle for doing less than what Tommy Tubberville did last year... think about that.
agree entirely. to try and compare the program when saban took over to now is utterly stupid. night and day as they are 2 completely different animals. sure saban had his mishaps as a coach but you always knew he was in control and knew football more than anyone when it came down to it. so far, miles gives me the feeling im going on a roadtrip with billy joel and ted kennedy behind the wheel all the while telling me everything's ok. ill give him time since its early to judge but he's sure doing little with a lot. though he has time to adjust to the pressure he's crumbled under thus far. Some coaches start out with a bang and end up being fool's gold while others need a longer adjustment period and develop into some of the best. however, usually the bob stoops of the world make their impact immediately. much like saban has already in the NFL. You usually see what you got regardless wins and losses.
