UM Football Recruiting - by WM Wolverine

Looking forward, I would expect to see Georgia supplant Alabama as the number one football powerhouse in the south. There are too many Texas colleges for any one to excel, and Clemson is in South Carolina, perhaps the most backwards state in the country. Florida has at least 3 college football powers and thus there is no clear path for any one to dominate. Auburn is a legitimate competitor to Alabama in its own backyard. Nick Saban has little connection to Alabama -- there's nothing lasting in his success there. Georgia has the largest population and strongest economy in the region (outside of Texas and Florida), and therefore will eventually be home to the strongest college football team.
Just my opinion. What am I missing?

I do agree that Georgia is/was a sleeping giant. But, they've been mucking around for the right coach for decades. Kirby is probably pretty damn good and, more importantly, they're recruiting is truly at or above Alabama-levels (though, I mean, who knows how those super-talented players FIT into the roster?). Alabama, of course, has proven that they never really drop off. Georgia will end up with 2 really great classes in a row, but we'll see if they can keep it up.
Finally, I disagree, entirely, with you assertion that South Carolina is perhaps more backward than Alabama. During your time here you've managed to somehow hunt and peck your way to barely articulated opinions that rate as foolish or worse. However, with that bit of vapidity we have a new champion. To be clear, Mississippi is the only state that *might* be as backward as Alabama unless you're using "state" broadly to include countries then it's also South Sudan, Liberia and Venezuela (currently).Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

......... I just don't know. As a young Naval Aviator stationed at NAS Pensacola,FL, I frequently flew low and fast over the outskirts of Dothan, AL. The noise from these low passes freaked folks out and it was not unusual to see people scrambling out of an outhouse to seek shelter in the nearest derelict vehicle on the property. A second pass, just for fun, elicited shot gun blasts from adjacent roofless or roofs of homes, some of them in astonishing disrepair. At least that's what I thought they were as a puff of smoke was visible but fortunately nothing ever hit my aircraft.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.

True story ...... a long time ago when our squadron of A6s was deployed to the Philippines, during our "training flights" it was common practice to buzz water buffaloes who seemed to always be wandering around in rice paddys. At the end of the rice season and before that crop of rice plants were cut down, plants would grow upwards of 15'. Upon return to the airfield from whence we took off, it was not uncommon for the flight line crew after parking our trusty craft to pull rice plant reeds out of the drop tank fins or bomb racks.
I have to say, this is a realm of excitement, flying these aircraft that low at 450 kts + that exceeds that which I would expect one might encounter playing a fucking game of chess. Each to his own I guess.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off.

"Cerebral fitness" .........Bwahaha.
BTW, speaking of fitness, are you still cycling? I've got my FTP up to about 160 and I can hit 300 at 85-90bpm, barely and for a second or two...... I turned 70 in March. You'd kill me on the road and probably on a stationary. What kind of handicap will you give me?Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished.

I ride with folks of all stripes. A guy I ride with all the time is 63 and stronger than me. I also occasionally ride with a dude who is 70. He's ok -- get him the right pace and make sure he drafts and he can hang around for 60-70 miles!Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?
