Shows how much you know retard he gave 1 million dollars to the Alabama scholarship fund as soon as he arrived to Alabama. Also the only other place saban can go to get "more" loot as you say is to the NFL it simply states in his CONTRACT if he quits coaching for Alabama he quits coaching college football. Good job at not having a fucking clue as to what the fuck your talking about douche bag. To, Aligator, the person who thinks Coach Nick Saban is a douche bag and he is in it for himself.

Dang it. But I do believe Billy D to be overrated. I think Billy G is coming around and his best coaching is kicking people's bum in practice. I say Billy D is overrated because outside the two titles, his teams have been very underachieving. Florida has been getting better recruits on the whole than Kentucky for the past 10 to 12 years. They should be like North Carolina but they are more like, I don't know, Florida. In football, you guys get top recruits every year and every year have a top notch team. Why the excuses in basketball? Well you are obviously more intelligent than me as I just made fun of my own coach in an ill-fated attempt to make fun of Billy D. Dang it.

Hell, I’m not even cognizant enough to be called a novice. But I do know this; you can not successfully orchestrate a team of young kids through the physical demands and psychological roadblocks that “the dance” demands, without knowing what you are doing. You are, as I understand you, saying that our back-to-back national titles, had very little to do with Billy’s coaching acumens, the above referred credentials notwithstanding, and was almost strictly due to the on court talents of five or seven 19 and 20 year olds. Well…..it is your privilege, of course, to “stick by my overstated comments,” if you so desire. But between you and me; I don’t think you really believe them either.

Billy G IS an average coach. But he recruited at least seven outstanding players, not five. And they've yet to give him a title of any sort. You know, you’re absolutely right.

Sad but true. He's taking me to the title this season. Plus you should see my recruitment list for 2010. I have to simulate the UK game, I can't make myself play it. Bull Gator, but you are also just a season removed from the NIT. We can pick this up on Vince's fresh post but I stick by my overstated comments last year. Billy G is an average coach who recruited five outstanding players that brought him two titles. Like Ricky P, I doubt seriously he ever wins another.

Did I commit a faux pas? However, inasmuch as you brought the subject up; need I remind you that Florida is just 1 year removed from pulling off a back-to-back National Championship sweep; a feat that no one envisioned at the on-set of the 2006-2007 season, so to project what has already been proven a misnomer, is, at the very least, short sighted. Is that cast in stone? Of course not! But then again, neither is your claim. I think that’s why they play the games.

Oooooooooooohhhhhhhh, I'm so gonna (not) tell! And Daniel, are you really saying that you pick UF over UK in NCAA Football 09 because you like Tebow?
