It's so awesome to see all of the nationwide negativity against the Crimson Tide! And for no apparent reason. Thats even better! From redneck jokes to people being pissed at Saban to what he did FOR (not TO) the Dolphins, the ridiculous comments just keep flying! AWESOME. But whats gonna be even better is when THE Crimson Tide is sitting on top of it all in a couple of years looking down at all the other irrelevant self-proclaimed programs. ROLL MOTHE* FU**ING TIDE!!!!!!!!!! 1080449

Like Coach Saban said: "Enjoy it, while you can." In your case, it means (all of) your attempts to bash Saban & Bama (although Coach said it to an auburn fan in an airport on a recruiting trip). What that means is, it's only a matter of time (2 years or so) until BAMA is elite and Champion again. His #1 signing class was because the PLAYERS and HS Coaches know this. No probation (lol). Why, even the owner of the Dolphins, ultimately, and Jason Taylor (and many other Dolphins) supported Coach doing what was best for him & his family. Taylor even went on ESPN to support Coach and his move, much to the dismay of the NFL GameDay crew (lol). I wonder how I may use my profession to vent personal vendettas against people I don't like, Pete. What a hack. See you in the BCS NC game soon! Roll Tide!!! 1077703

Man, I decide to attend a class and come back to chaos and much catching up to do: JPJ The Daily News keeps comparing Eli to Jeter now, saying that he may actually be more popular right now. Your thoughts, as a much more appropriate gauger of mass appeal? Stupid flanders ------------------------------------ Siberia had relations w/cuba. gill ----------------------------------- Flanders - I think some of the shine is off of Jeter in US America because of the Asian Countries and I think they should because of everywhere like such as the Iraqs. For our children's future. Gill - Michael Jordan is also sharing underwear with Cuba. Big Tuna - Thanks for the Costanza quote! I knew you'd come through for me. SoBe - Welcome back. Glad to hear your daddy's doing okay. Mr. Adams has been negligent in his runner-up duties in your absence. 1077350

But Peach, don't tell HER she's pretty because whenever she hears that word she tends to flop for a belly rub. (and yes, I do realise, that the last sentence is a set-up) 1077287

Peach, yes that is my newfoundland dog, a 4 year little girl named Ceilidh (google the word, folks). She is the most kind and gentle 147lbs of dog you've ever met..... 1077262

Despite a 7-6 record in his first season at Alabama, $4 million-a-year man Nick Saban <a href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/stewart_mandel/02/06/recruiting.wrap/index.html" target="_blank">compiled a recruiting class</a> that has been widely acclaimed as the finest in the country. Rivals.com, Scout.com and SuperPrep all gave the Crimson Tide the top spot after Wednesday's National Signing Day.As always, the 10 Spot wants to go inside the numbers. Specifically, what is Saban's recruiting pitch? Here's an exclusive list of his favorite lines to prospects:10. We've kicked Louisiana-Monroe off the schedule9. Son, I can show you how to be an NFL pariah8. What kind of girly name is "Auburn" anyway? Might as well go to "Chestnut Highlights University"7. And who do you think built the 2007 Dolphins?6. I'm telling you, Les Miles is still going to Michigan5. You'll be exposed to more assistant coaches in four years here than anywhere in the country4. We're not on probation at the moment3. No, it's just a high-tech headset; they're certainly not horns, if that's what you were thinking2. Come help me build a championship program for the next guy1. I'm rich, bit**! 1823 http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/396/4/thumb/mcentegart_pete.jpg 6586 NY
