Furthermore, Jimmy and I were discussing this; We would not take Chizik for Kirby needless to say Saban. Dye is stupid.

"Saban is the best coach in the country -- I'll grant him that. But he ain't a better man than Gene Chizik," Dye said.

Screw him.

 

[planomateo]

He's right to a degree, you think Dye could influence Coach Saban I think his comment "I wouldn't swap him for 10 Sabans" is about influence or just a flat out Auburn homer view.

Excuse me when I say this... but what the **** has Chizik done that makes him a better man??? Auburn fans, please enlighten me....

sounds like a drunk comment to me.

 

[hawkman]

Did he talk about the tiggers being "young puppies" again? What a lush...

 

['65 Cobra]

If Chizik wasn't the HC at Auburn, would he be in demand as HC anywhere else? Don't think so; at least not at any significant university.

Can anyone name the ONLY team with LESS seniors on their roster than Alabama??? (There is only ONE in all of the FBS).

 

[JoshB]

Of course he wouldnt, he couldnt manipulate Coach Saban like he does Cheesed*ck... there's a reason he despised Tubberville.

 

[elldoubleu]

Dye has way over stayed his usefulness in football. I constantly see his quotes or rantings but who gives a crap about what he has to say outside of an Aubie QB Club meeting? The brain cells have gone and will never return.

Bama has what 10 scholarship Sr's now (added Carson to the list), originally we were at 9 right?

That's right Plano. The only other team with less seniors is Marshall. I'm kind of tired of hearing the Barners whine about youth when their problems go well beyond youth.

LSU is tied with one team for the youngest players having seen action this season as well. I want to say the number was 15.

 

[planomateo]

Terry, from what I remember reading we have played 1/2 of what we signed last year - 12. Does that sound right?

Not Terry but I read today that we have played 11 true freshmen and 11 red-shirt freshmen. I don't know how accurate that is but it was one of the national outlets that I read it. I'll see if I can find the article.

Great article BTW!!!

 

[TerryP]

Just glancing down the roster, these are the guys I recognize that haven't played. I may have missed one.

Anderson,
Ball,
Black,
Frietag,
Green,
Griffin,
Gulledge,
Kirven,
Morris,
Taylor,
Tomlinson,
Williams

There's 12, we signed 26 with Hill as a NQ...so, that would be 13.

 

[bamafan4ever]

Thanks for the info, Terry.

 

[planomateo]

Yeah, thinking 11 have played.

Collins
Cooper
Devall
Drake
Hayes
C Jones
Lake
Lee
Ragland
G Smith
Yeldon

I guess "ol Patrick Fane Dye" has taken one too many kicks to his head from one of the many asses running around on his farm.
