31 players have been drafted from that boring 2011 BCSCG between UA and LSU

I was born in Bama and a fan of Bama where CU isn't concerned, but goodness BC give it a rest.....
 
I have to agree. That was a **** game.

PS: more than 40 guys who appeared on rosters of the two teams for the '90 Colorado/Washington game eventually spent some time on nfl rosters.

Not interested in slinging mud here. This is a "he said, she said" argument.

Here is an article, lean on specifics, but nonetheless, from one of "y'alls" websites - BamaHammer.

Did you bother to read the article? We can watch and see if any player's scholly is 'pulled'. Players are given medical scholarships, kicked off the team for violation of team rules, and asked to greyshirt. Nobody is left not knowing their status. When kids are signed they are gold they may have to greyshirt.

If all else fails, it comes down to making cuts, preferably in a fashion that doesn't involve actually having to say, "you're cut," which Saban adamantly denies he has ever done.

Yeah, plausible deniability, from the Dick Nixon school of ethics. But if it quacks like a duck...he is still treating college players like free agents. Play semantics if it helps you justify feeding the factory. Saban's DoFO probably has to play the Turk.
 
Saban has never played the role of chest thumping douche. Charlie, you should take note. When you get to the top, the biggest rookie ****wad move is to point it out for everyone to see. Harvey Up**** would be proud of you.

It took 49 posts for someone to point this out. I thought it was going to fall to me, but Gold did it with a panache I could have only hoped to achieve. Rep.

Since the days of Kordell? Absolutely. Directly correlated to the decline of our program. In the glory days of the 90s, we lived on Prop 48/42 partial qualifiers and athletic academic exceptions for a percentage of players. Since then, we also became sticklers on abiding by all NCAA regulations to the letter. Of course, that was before APR. That caught up with us since CU can be a tough place for someone who wants an "athlete path" toward staying eligible.

Needless to say, we're bitter fans. It would be the best of both worlds if we can get the program to where it was by also being white knights. But we question whether that's possible.

The NCAA's stupid academic rules end up hurting schools like CU and helping the likes of the SEC. Ridiculous.

Academic smack talk is lame, imo. I'm sure there are plenty of highly respected programs at SEC schools. I can think of maybe a handful of schools that are strong across all fields of study (i.e. Stanford-caliber schools).

The smack talk is against the NCAA, not the SEC so much. To me, the playing field has been tilted.
 
saban's methods work.

i wish he'd stop sacrificing virgins and infidels on a fiery pyre of dead puppies every full moon, however. that seems a bit excessive.

They played a bunch of average teams. If you want to beat your chest about beating arky by 20-have at it.
