Hi UCLA!creepycoug said:
Look, I know you're fucking stupid. But all Cane joking aside, do you not realize that, even though they have been tripping over their lips for the last 14 years, Miami still has more impact players in the NFL than ANY OTHER PROGRAM IN THE COUNTRY? Yes, more than LSU, Ohio State, USC, Alabama, Florida State ... any of them. And most of the 2001 guys are out of the league now.Tequilla said:Programs that I view as having legitimate opportunities to win a National Championship by conference (blue bloods being bolded as they have the best shots when all things line up right for them:
PAC12
USC
Washington
UCLA
Big 12
Oklahoma
Texas
Big 10
Ohio St
Michigan
Penn St
Michigan St
Wisconsin
SEC
Alabama
LSU
Florida
Georgia
Texas A&M
Auburn
Tennessee
ACC
Florida St
Notre Dame
Clemson
Miami
Virginia Tech
It's possible for some other programs to jump in from time to time, but at this point, these are the programs that I see as having some combination of the requisite size, support, recruiting capabilities, etc. to be National Championship caliber programs on a consistent basis. Toughest calls for me were leaving Georgia and Clemson off of being blue bloods as they have a lot of things going for them but they need a good amount to go right for them to be legit national championship caliber programs.
As shitty as they've been, and they have been butt stink shitty, they routinely throw first, second and third round guys into the NFL, and those guys blow the fuck up when they get there.
How is it that you can't perceive a scenario where THAT program, with all its history and accomplishment, can't consistently compete for a title, but Texas can???????? Texas has all the shit you listed, and has always had it, and look at them. Before 2005, nobody under the age of 40 knew that they had ever been good. And 2005 was 12 years ago and they haven't done shit since.
It ain't about the money dummy. Oregon has proven that. It ain't about the size of your stadium and how many asses are in the seats. Michigan has proven that. Nebraska has proven that.
It's about who you can recruit and who is coaching them. Alabama has proven that. USC has proven that. LSU has proven that. Florida State has proven that. -
Nearly 15,000 words on this from @Tequilla and not 1 mention of TCU #proud.
Also, I skimmed and only read like 3 lines total. -
I'm concerned that by upvotiing this, I'll wind up on some kind of list....TTJ said:Pressing.
There are better comps for Pete than Dabo.
Living on the edge of danger... -
Your idea of blue bloods is highly debatable.

Excellent analogy even if the Iowa class battleships never squared off Battle of Jutland style against the Yamoto class ships.GrundleStiltzkin said:Fucksakes.

Can't help it; my parents got me VHS tapes of Victory and Sea to watch when I was a little boy.RaceBannon said:

Early Saban at MSU was pretty Sarky record-wise, but by year 5 he had a top 10 season with wins over some very good teams. This is something Sark never came even close to doing in 5 years.
