From the coverage of the past couple of years one might think that Bear Bryant merely handed the baton to Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide just kept rolling along. But that program had some really down years. Just shows what a couple of bad hires can do to you (can anyone say Minnesota?).

Otherwise, all I'm seeing here is a lot of childishness that's gonna get this kicked to the bickering board, despite my--apparently insufficiently compelling efforts--to show some statistical evidence of just how this program has sustained success over nearly 20 years. I'd have thought that would be more interesting than how I identified the conference or could keep up with all the incredibly subtle humor, but I'm not well today (had to leave work early), so perhaps my judgment is clouded.

You frequently invoke the term "idiot" when responding to yanked...so much so, that you invented an acronym due to its frequent use (QBAI = quit being an idiot).

Hint: if you want to keep a thread mostly on topic, then entirely ignore anybody that is making a joke, rather than arguing it with them.OK, because I worked late and this entire thread bugs me, I compiled the following stats, which are accurate within my counting error at 11p at night (say 2 posts).Of the 50 posts to date in this thread, OB has 12 of them (24%). Of these 12, 2 are on topic (OP, 22) and 10 are commenting on/arguing with off-topic remarks raised by others (11, 15, 16, 19, 23, 27, 28, 33, 35, 38).Saunders gives good advice.

On 25, I ashamed to admit I could only come up with womens softball. How I failed to think of womens hockey, well I blame it on being at work and thus more dumb than usual. I out-thought myself on the cost a single game ticket in 2012 and the year U Ridge opened.
