I think Alabama's most recent "era" is over. Saban is obviously panicking. The game is beginning to pass him by - will he adapt as Bear Bryant did in the early 70's?
As for Arkansas, Bielema took advantage of a very soft Big Ten with a weak crop of coaches. He didn't build anything at Wisconsin - Barry Alvarez left him the house, it was just up to Bielema to do the wiring. I'm not sure he's the kind of coach that can build a program from the ground up in advantageous conditions, let alone the SEC West. |

Just browsed through the last few pages to see what was going on lately with this thread.

I seriously haven't even given Missouri a single stray thought for most of 2013 and this year until that whole Sam Michael thing came up, and I basically thought, no kidding or exaggeration, "oh yeah, I kinda forgot about Missouri." To the extent that I care about seeing KU beating another team more than usual anymore, its pretty much just K-State now. I'm not particularly interested in seeing a game with Missouri more than any other possible non-con opponent, nor am I interested in smack-talking that school.

It's simple psychology, as the studies show. When a human has problems accomplishing things on their own (known in pyschology as "merit"), they often use the accomplishments of fellow in-group members to create a surrogate feeling. Commonly known as basking in one's glow. We saw it clearly with how they worshipped Alabama.
It's something that people with merit don't do. You won't read Kentucky praising Alabama on their boards, or LSU, or Florida. It's the Mizzou/Mississippi State/Arky types that do. |

Saban's time and his over-inflated recruiting class have no place in the new college football. If only the SEC Network would have launched 3 years ago instead of this summer... |

I take it you haven't encountered the dreaded Kentucky basketball/Alabama football bandwagon fan?

Who is really the same person as the dreaded Kansas basketball / Texas football bandwagon fan.

Yeah I feel a lot like you do. I consider KU much like Iowa State or Colorado. Pretty sad actually. I get on this thread to see the KU fans like Bitch or Bambi who still deeply care & miss it to get me interested otherwise I could care less about the Kansas Wildcats.

One undeniable truth - every fan of both schools wants to see them play each other again. It would be a crazy scene, even if on some neutral field/court somewhere. All those buried feelings alnorth is talking about being dredged back up to the surface.....
It will happen one day in both sports. I look forward to it. |
