That's because no one will come to Fresno to play. Too many beer bottles thrown on the field. I do have to hand it to a team that will let you drink at the stadium.

yeah dayhiker, but he does have the right to brag. Ohio State is a spectacular program with a deep tradition in football. notice I may disagree with him, but I've never badmouthed the program.

"And, we both have first year coaches."
Yeah, I don't know where Mitch Barnhart came up with this guy. He seems as dry as yesterday's toast. I find it ironic that they're both from the same state. Makes me worry about our basketball team if Tubby leaves.

they got rid of the bottles and went to cups.

I think it's because of their record against ranked opponents there. Bulldog Stadium was ranked by one publication recently as #27 in a poll about the best NCAA staduim in the country. The high ranking was mainly due to the crowd and how hard it is to get out of there with a "W".

Population voting is so accurate since the majority of fans either live in the East or Big 11 country. We have half the population, but only trail by a few points.

OSU does have a good program. I remember the last two times Bama played them. We won both games.

"yeah, we've fought those nancies in Michigan for years."

And what has Michigan's history told us about playing OSU? It tells us that out of the 98 times they've played OSU has only won a mere 36 games.

We have a good one, but our faculty rep is on the compliance committee and he wanted to work with that committee since he's on it instead of fighting like hell. We still got nailed.

if you go to NCAA.org is lists all of the NC's as awarded by different publications through time. Different ones were dominant at different times. Bama has 17 listed, but claims 12.

There are several more listed on that site. I had it all cut and pasted into my browser and then it crashed. The ones the I remember that Bama claims are 25, 26, 30, 41, and 45. There is one more in there that I'm not remembering. There are several more listed that Bama doesn't claim. I think they were 77, 75, 66, and 62. There is one more that they don't claim that's listed, but I don't recall the year.

Can't wait for the season opener when my Bulldogs come to your town. I don't know what's going to happen, but should make for a good game. I predicting we have what it takes to beat the Vols, but even if Fresno State doesn't pull it out I promise I'll come back in here and eat crow for ya, cool?

Yeah, if you want to call our football program "ball"!! More like "rock" or "hot potato" Just when we get a coach who's turning our program around, Baylor offers him some good money, and AD Mitch Barnhart decides he's not worth keeping. Congrats Baylor, you all got a good one in Guy Morris.
Our local writers are predicting we could "possibly" win 6 games this year with new coach Rich Brooks. Whew, what a standard of excellence!

You guys were trying to lasso Pat Hill from Fresno State last year. We were really worried you'd get 'em. Sorry for you, happy for us you didn't. Hey, at least you guys have a sweet BBall program. It's tough following a mid-major like the Bulldogs. Man, you wouldn't BELIEVE the $hit I get from BCS and powerhouse BBall conference fans!

Kansas will get there. If non-BCS teams can get good coaches, so can Kansas. Who knows, your new coach might just turn out to be one of the good ones?

Oh CRAP! I can't believe that! I was just posting on a football board and I got the two confused! I'm DEAD on this board now... Sorry bout that. I meant KENTUCKY. Seriously, I WAS talking about the Kansas program over on the Kansas board...HONEST! YOU CAN SEE FOR YOURSELF!

Hehe, no problem. Although when BB and dayhiker and some of those read this, you're screwed, lol! When the bball thread shows up in a few months, then you'll probably start hearing me talking some serious smack. For now I'll satisfy myself by making fun of other football programs while studiously hiding the fact that i'm a UK fan.

Stick, it really was UK that was looking at Pat Hill. I was typing two posts on two different boards at once. Stupid me... :-(

And I did mean what I said about getting a good coach (if you don't already have one in Rich Brooks isn't it?) Good luck this year. Bama, Luisville, and Florida should be fun openers in the first month of play.

My son will be a freshman at Virginia Tech this fall, so I guess I'll be rooting for the Hokies. The switch from Big East to ACC should be fun to see. Michael Vick's brother will be playing. Hmmmm!

I can't believe arclite hasn't showed up with all the venom we've been spitting around here.

sierra - if you read through this whole thread you'll see that it all started out nice and then arc somehow got this thing to change into one big slam dance. We all talk big, but that's about it.

I will add that most Bama folks don't talk quite as loud about the West as we used to. Rewind to 2000. We were ranked #3 preseason and had the season opener at the Rose Bowl against UCLA. We got spanked and finished the season 3-8. 2001 the season opener was at home against UCLA and we got beat again. We got beat in consecutive years by a team whose jerseys are baby blue. Oh the humanity.
