Do you know anything about recruiting? Check out who had the top classes in the country the last 2 years.

Dude just keep rambling about players. Don't focus on the loss because the pain must be too severe. Just trash the players that beat you, it really makes you look better . . . .

I know it's illegal to pay high school coaches to steer recruits to your school. Apparently Alabama's boosters did not know this.

I was joking. Someone else pointed out that Saban's recruiting has not been stellar.

Me, I don't pay much attention to recruiting classes. It's all hit and miss when they come out of high school. You can only judge a recruiting class once those players actually start playing, not when they sign. I feel the same way about the NFL draft as well. All these "experts" tell you who "won" and who "lost" in the draft before the draftees have even played a single down in the NFL. Wait a few years and see whose draft picks panned out.

You do know we are in the year 2010 don't you? Check the almanac and be sure.

I agree with you there. But so far so good with Saban's recruits. Rivals ranked them number 1 in 2008 and 2009 and they just won the big one.

Yup, I know its 2010. I also know Alabama will be off NCAA probation in 2012, and off the Repeat Violator Window in 2014. Unless they get caught cheating again, of course.

True.

But Mack Brown also had top-ranked recruiting classes early in his tenure and he did not win a NT until later in his tenure. Simms was the top HS QB coming out of high school, and he could never win big games.

He had the top ranked recruiting class in 2002 and followed up with the NT with those recruits.

Dude, I am a forth generation graduate of UT, I support the Longhorns when times are good and bad! I have no "severe pain" about the Horns loss. I am very proud of the way they played - they are holding their Horns high.

My comment was about McElroy quote;

"There's no end in sight to the Alabama dynasty that's been created," McElroy said. "I don't see an end in sight, I really don't. ... I'll be back next year. Might as well get ready to win another one."

So, McElroy thinks that no other QB could step in and hand the ball off to Ingram and Richardson, Ok!!!!

Like the thread says "Trash Talk"!!!!!!

I know a ton about recruiting.... obviously a lot more than you, seeing as last years top class was LSU and the year before that was Miami.

I'm not sure it was the top class. Again, recruiting is not my thing.

I do know alot of Longhorn fans were not happy he was winning "Recruiting Titles", but not National Titles before 2005.

McElroy is such a prick......... He reminds me of Ken Dorsey from the 2002-2003 Canes teams..... Hands off to Pro-Bowl running backs, plays to his defense, and then talks all the shit. Amazing.
Quick Question...

If Barry Sanders had played for Dallas, and Emmit had been in Detroit, would any one ever even have heard Emmits' name...


Emmit had a line, a quarterback, and a boat load of recievers... What did Barry have... and this is from a Dallas fan...Yes Emmit performed well, but with the cast he had, most any running back would have... Barry could/would have set records that would probably never be touched...

but I digress, this is a NCAA thread... Sorry...I just have this question in mind every time I see Emmits name pop up...
