It really is by the grace of Alabama that everyone isn't mocking the SEC East as badly as they need to be... It is a disaster of a division.

The Champions of Life (An SEC East also-ran) defeated your Hokies on a neutral field. Georgia did the same to UNC. Kentucky beat Louisville @ Louisville. The SEC East isn't what it used to be, but it's not a disaster. Only Florida's offense is a disaster.

The performance of the Florida offense in the past two SEC CGs may have been extremely entertaining for you, but it was painful for me. Stranding a top-tier defense on the field was the worst part about it, but that's really par for the course now with Florida.

I wonder how much differently people would view Stoops if he'd won the title in the middle or end of his career instead of at the very beginning. Like obviously he's an all time great coach either way, but it kinda feels like people never gave the fact that he'd won a national title enough credit when they did all that dumb BIG GAME BOB poo poo because it happened in his second season and was followed with a couple decades of being among the best teams in the sport but not quite the very best

The Florida-Oklahoma title game in January 2009 was pretty close, with some key stops by the Gators' D. He could have easily had a second title in the middle of his tenure.

We're falling over ourselves in this thread to joke/not joke about Ole Miss paying players. When the NCAA is heavy-handed in investigating a player for driving a car with a $500/month car payment (that the brother could account for only when factoring in huge numbers of cash-transaction haircuts) it's evidence of the NCAA being bullies, not racists.

Nutt is offering to settle with Ole Miss for an official apology and 500k to start a state commission on sports ethics.

The 25-year cost of such a commission would surely balloon into the millions and furthermore it would obstruct Ole Miss's ability to pay players. Raw deal, if you ask me.

What happened to Houston Nutt? He did a pretty good job at Arkansas, imploded at Ole Miss, and then fell off the planet. I guess Ole Miss slandering him didn't help, but he could have landed a mid-major jo if he wanted. What happened at Miss>

I guess he's viewed as "past his best" to "toxic hire" at this point. From Wikipedia:

Nutt was the center of a major recruiting controversy in February 2010. After recruiting 37 players, the SEC was forced to enact the 'Houston Nutt Rule,' beginning August 1, 2010. The rule stated that "SEC teams will be limited to signing 28 football recruits, with the usual maximum of 25 allowed to enroll in the fall."

The Ole Miss Rebels finished 4–8 overall in the 2010 season, including 1–7 in the Southeastern Conference. Among the worst of these losses was to FCS-member Jacksonville State, which was Ole Miss' first loss to a lower division team since 1945.

Nutt set an Ole Miss coaching record with his 12th straight Southeastern Conference loss. On November 7, 2011, Nutt was fired by the University of Mississippi, but was allowed to coach through the end of the season. His final game was a 31–3 loss to Mississippi State in the annual Egg Bowl.

Apropos of nothing, I talked to a guy who played for Bama in the late '90s last weekend. He said they had bounties on all their stats "$X for a tackle, $Y for a reception, etc.," and they'd leave their cars unlocked in an agreed-upon garage. When they came back, there'd be an envelope in the console or glove box or something.

I can''t, off the top of my head, think of a single parking garage in Tuscaloosa in the late 90s. DCH (the campus hospital), maybe? There were a lot of large, open-air parking lots, though.

I mean, I'm hard on him bc the offense has continued to be awful but he's done a pretty good job rebuilding the lines and I'm not sure we have any idea what his ceiling is.

Let's not forget that once upon a time Jimbo was shat upon as an OC for underachieving in big games w LSUs talent.

It's not that he's doing badly, it's just that I have to compare him to Meyer and Spurrier. I really hope the offense gels this season because I don't know for how long the defense is going to be as good as it's been the past two seasons.
