Hi. Everyone in the Pac-12 sucks.Secfans said:
Who doesn't suck in the PAC12 besides UW? Please don't say USC because they beat a bunch of 4-8 teams to end the season...TierbsHsotBoobs said:
The SEC has the one team in America that doesn't suck, but still.
Your reading comprehension swallows. -
Lane Kiffin just said the same thing in si.com. He talked about how loaded the SEC was in 2009 when he coached Tennessee and said the conference back then was way better than it is now.

The SEC has regressed down to the B1G's level because coaching matters.RoadDawg55 said:Lane Kiffin just said the same thing in si.com. He talked about how loaded the SEC was in 2009 when he coached Tennessee and said the conference back then was way better than it is now.
Saban has run the other good coaches out of the conference. -

You know why? Recruiting. Half of the top 100 players on a yearly basis comes from SEC states not including Texas. Want another reason just look at the NFL draft every year. The first round has SEC guys flying off the board early on a yearly basis. Look at the Pro Bowl, look at the All Pro list and you will see more SEC guys than any other conference. It says a lot when schools in the Midwest and West consistently come down south to take the three star left overs. We sure as hell don't go way the hell out there to get three starsRoadDawg55 said:Lane Kiffin just said the same thing in si.com.

But outside of Seattle is CUOG CUONTRY.no_uh said:
Washington isnt just seattle, FYISecfans said:
According to whom? What are these metrics? The ones that have you paying 900 grand for a 1400sq ft 3/2 rancher built in 1978? The one where you have a super long commute and pay super high property taxes? The one where you have snow half the year?doogville said:
Also, it's literally one of the worst states in the country by any metric you want to look at. But roll tide, baby!
I lived in NYC last year for work for a number of months. I was with my family in about a 7 million dollar condo rent free. I couldn't wait to get back to Alabama. And I wasn't even paying the taxes.
People are different. People like different things. I wouldn't live in the state of Washington if you paid me. But then again, I also realize that things I like aren't for everyone. -

"Millions of good people." Yah, right.Secfans said:
Buzz off with this nonsense. Outside of Stanford, Northwestern, ND, Vandy, and a few others, EVERYONE offers the same players. Are PAC12 schools better, on average than SEC schools related to academics? Of course. But that doesn't mean the athletes are held to a higher academic standard. ESPECIALLY regarding entrance requirements.Passion said:
First of all, you're only showing how stupid you are if you think people in the south know football better than anyone else. There are two reasons the sec has been successful at football: 1) fertile recruiting ground; and 2) zero emphasis on academics.
In the Southeast, college football matters more. It just does. That's not a slight, the interests are just different. USC has one of the most front running fan bases in the history of the Americas. Hell you guys have had like 2-3 sellouts in 3 years. We have 100k at practice. We don't have the population density to have access to a lot of professional sports, so college football is top priority.Passion said:
Engineering degree from bama? LOL. So let me call on your prestigious engineering degree. What sense does it make to put so many of these structurally unsound dwellings in a region known for such extreme weather?
But it sure is fun painting millions of good people with the broad brush of 'dumb redneck' ain't it?

The SEC was pretty good for a few years when Bammer became good again and Rural Meyer was at Florida with a ton of talent. It was never as great as most made it out to be. The middle and bottom sucked in 2011 but hey, let two teams play in a rematch anyway.
