  • While I'll agree with you on the disappointment in losing 5 out if the last 6 for State. I think Mullen has changed the culture in Starkville, while Chiz has done the opposite in Auburn. How many would take an 8-5 season next year, and call it a success?

    Clowney's hit was a definite game changer. Good article Phillip, have a great New Year.

    I came out of my chair and hollered, "WHOA!" Scared my wife half to death. Rewound and watched it a number of times. What a game changing play. That kid is worth watching.

    Alabama delenda est.

  • What I noticed during the bowl games: all these teams have a quality quarterback. We don't right now. Hope these coaches can develop one, otherwise it will be another long year! War Eagle!!!

    Phillip, are you assuming LSU won't be ranked in the final poll or UGA? That's 2 rankings teams if math is correct.

    Of course LSU will be ranked. Georgia was not part of Alabama going 7-1 in the SEC.

    What culture has he changed? He had one decent year. So did Sly Croom. Next year at Auburn will be the first under a new coach. I don't believe anybody at Auburn, in a coach's fourth year, would call losing five out of their last six games a success. I don't believe anybody at Auburn would call losing five out of the last six games next season a success.

  • You gotta hand it to PM.....he never misses a chance to take a shot at Mullen....

    I've never been impressed with Mullen nor his progress at MSU

    Easily the most overrated coach in the SEC, IMO.

    Miss State will never be better than a 8-9 win team.

    Sly Croom had one winning season at State, and it was widely celebrated. He might have won SEC coach of the year, I can't remember.

    Dan Mullen on the other hand has had 3 consecutive winning seasons in Starkville. That is changing the culture in my opinion, regardless of who the wins are against.

  • I'm glad PM also noticed what I've seen proliferate - tattoos! Some of them are downright asinine! I don't know if it's the culture, the attempt to one-up someone, vanity, or plain stupidity! I don't suppose they even know they look like some kind of Pacific Islanders who really DO have the culture to back it up! Some folks might say (under their breath) that it's a racial thing, but I don't see it that way. Seems to me that ALL of the folks involved in football are under the impression that if they don't have ink, they aren't 'there'. White, black, green, yellow, red - it doesn't matter - they just want to ruin their bodies. Now I know some folks with a tattoo never show it, and that might be OK, but way too many employers don't want their employees looking like a walking tattoo billboard! These kids need to wake up and look further down the road than 3 years! Oh, well - end rant! WDE!!

    "Honestly, it was a lot more fun in the old days when the biggest bowls were all played on New Year's Day. But, alas, times change."

    Phillip, I was thinking exactly the same thing today. It was much more fun, when the small bowls led up to the New Year's Day finale. I know we can't have a championship playoff with it like that. However, during the BCS era, we could still have finished it off on New Years Day, with the exception of the championship game. As you said, alas, things change. They surely do.

    Let me say, "it was a lot more fun, for an AU fan - when we had a year good enough to play in a bowl". Our goal, next year (an it won't be easy) should be to find a way to win six and get any bowl. You have to learn to walk before you run. Gus is going as hard as he can, but terrific head winds prevail. When (and if, ever)the "powers that be" get off AU's case, we can hope to start a long trail upward. I cite the six yrs. USC took to get to a higher level, and gave my favorite current coach to get there. Also, Mullen and State are having a sinking spell, just now. That and Ole Miss are THE BIG games next year, IMO.

    This makes me sad. Why in the Hell are we spinning this? We suck; they're good. Phillip needs to take a less pathetic tack here, or maybe just avoid the subject.

    No, you need to read what said and not what you apparently want to believe I said. The point is that the SEC isn't very good this year, not that Alabama isn't very good. Facts are facts. At what point in that column did I compare Alabama to Auburn? Alabama's SEC record is 7-1. They beat one team that is ranked to have that record. The SECCG is not part of a team's SEC record. I fully expect Alabama to beat Notre Dame and win the national championship. Read what I write, not what you want to believe I wrote. Your post is offensive.

    Phillip,

    Please explain how the SEC is down this year?

    USC, UF, A&M, UGA, and Bama should all finish in the bcs top 10. LSU is a missed FG against a another top 10 team away from joining that list. And that's not mentioning the historic year Vandy had.

    So again, please explain how the SEC is down, in comparison with the other conferences?

    Phillip....you are ABSOLUTELY correct in what you said. The Future is just flat wrong (now, there's a surprise). The SEC ISN'T that good this year. This guy is so quick to jump on anything bammer related that he is blind. And yes, he is offensive.bammer played 7 teams that were .500 or less out of 12. Fact. The 5 with winning records included W. Ky and Mich OOC. A&M (loss), LSU(should have been a loss) and Miss. St.(front loaded schedule of stiffs) were the 3 SEC teams with winning records. Arguably, the East is the better overall division.

    Oh, they didn't play UGa, UF or USCe ...3 of the 5 teams projected to be in the final Top 10. Or even Vandy either. There was a reason Dye complained about playing Amen Corner every year.
