Hate to start off subject but check out Bama's out of conference for next year:

Hawaii, Duke, La. Monroe, and Florida International.

Dr. Feelgood, that shapes up for a decent year if you can beat Ole Miss, Vandy, and Missy State. That would be 7 wins before the opening kick of the season.

I have to go with my boy Spurrier. He took a program that Lou Holtz tried to run in the ground (like every other place he has been) and made a winner out of them. After dismissing half of his starters from the year before, he pushed his team along throughout the year and improved by year's end. The only real disappointment was losing to rival Clemson. I am not looking forward to Auburn having to go up to Columbia next year. Neither are UGA fans, they are scared to death of the Cocks next year.

And Auburn beat the Temple in basketball in what was one of the largest b-ball victories ever on the plains. Lebo commercials are awful.

I will go with Spurrier followed by RICHt. Holtz would have been 4-7 with the same team. Helen Hunt was the glue that held Georgia together to win the Championship. Bobby Johnson at Vandy was not shabby either. The other three new coaches O, Miles, and Meyer....I only see Meyer still there in two years.

I will be home today as the Explorer is at the Dr. across the street.

Have Andre Smith and Earl Alexander saied where they are going yet? I heard they will probably go to Bama but who knows. Any inside Bama info Dr. Feelmeupski?

How are y'all going to pay me after the bowls? I take everything but Discover Card.

I think AU`s non-conference may be a little tougher than Bama`s (as usual)!!!

As for the coaches I say they stack up like this:
1)Spurrier(USC)- No suprises here
2)Miles(LSU)- With everything LSU has been through this year...to only lose twice is pretty amazing. I know they have parade all-americans across the board, but with the hurricane and all, it`s hard not to say this guy did one hell of a job.
3)Tubbs(AU) and Richt(UGA)
4)Bobby Johnson(VANDY)
5) Shula(UA)- Not because he is a good coach, but because he went from 6-6 to 9-2 in one season. Thank you Bama D, because if you men hadn`t have stepped up, who knows how bad the Tide`s record would be with absolutely no offense.
6)Urban Meyer (UF)
7)Oregeon(OLE MISS)
8)Fat Phil(UT)- Very disappointing season, but as always..he`ll have the Vols back in contention next season. He has the record to prove it too.
9)Houston Nutt(Ark)- I still like this guy.
10)Croom(MSU)- I think he is better than Shula all day. SHould`ve had the Bama job, but Mal Moore is a racist.
11)Rich Brooks-UK

Temple will not be on the schedule next year. The '06 schedule is not out yet, but good try. We also start a home & home with the powerhouse WVU after next season. Hell, after losing to Tech twice I am worried about Washington State.

cash.......Earl Alex is leaning towards AU

Dr. Feelmypennie,

I know you didn`t just say Tubbs was the SEC Coach of the Year. Are you being serious or kidding, because he is not my pick, nor any other Auburn fan on this forum...although he has done a good job this season, I think he could have done a little better..Example: Learned after Tre Smith`s first fumbled punt return, that the little whitey can`t return punts. It took him the entire season to figure all that out.

To follow an undefeated season, losing 4 NFL first round picks, and still finding a way to make 9 possibly 10 wins is very impressive.

Spurrier took a shitty ass USC team, and made them winners. He is a special coach and I`m glad he`s back to the SEC. He`s the coach of the Year!

DR.

Croom has more experience than Shula and also was around with the Bear! That should mean more to you than any other comparison of coaching ability.

If Bama had not hired Shula, he would continue to be a bottom feeder QB coach in the NFL. I don`t know if he even got paid half of the time. And No he wasn`t the reason for Bama`s success this year. That would be Mr. Joe Kines.

Even though Croom dresses like a fat slob, he looks like he knows whats going on during the game, and not like a "deer in the headlights."

Croom is better, end of story.

Mike Shula = Bill Curry

"I want to get my degree first, more than anything, and help my team beat Auburn before I leave." Kenneth Darby, Alabama Running back and the SEC's second leading rucher said when asked about leaving for the NFL.

Interesting how Auburn players talk about winning the SEC and the National Title while all Alabama players can do is try and try again to beat Auburn. There once was a time when it was Bama talking about winning the SEC and such. My, how times have changed.

correction.....earl alex is a solid Bama commit

tigernation said...

Well Dr. Feelmeupski,

If he is so tired of hearing it why bring it up when not asked about it, huh?


FEAR THE FUCKING THUMB!!!!

You might want to get used to hearing it 'cause you got about 320 more days until the next time it happens.

Think anybody got tired of hearing Bama's back?

ShakeYour$Maker said...

Dr.- First we`ll discuss why Spurrier should be SEC Coach of the Year.
1)Did you think USC would go 7-4 this season? Answer-Hell No

2)Do you think he took a crap ass team and made them look pretty damn good against the likes of UGA, UT, and UF? Answer-Hell Yes even though he lost the game against the great UGA by a couple of points.

3)Do you think Lou Holtz would have USC in a bowl game if he had coached USC? Hell No

That`s why Spurrier is the SEC Coach of the Year. Joe Kines is the SEC assistant coach of the year.

Now, onto our next topic....Shula is Bill Curry. Shula and Croom are exact equals. Neither knows how to coach and they prove it almost every game. Without Kines, Bama would probably have been 4-7.
Bill Curry was a good coach but Shula is not so therefore, Shula doesn`t even come close to Bill "Badass" Curry.

Doctor Feeldaddyspootang,

I have come to the conclusion that Curry does not equal Shula.
Bill Curry was actually a MUCH better coach than Shula will ever be. When Curry brought his 10-0 Bama squad to Jordan-Hare in 1989, he did not get beat by a superior team...he got beat by team that was high on emotion and a coach that refused to lose to his arch-rival at home for the first time. Bama had a much better team all around, but Auburn had and still has something Bama will never have.....a little something that I am always talking about.....something that burns inside every Auburn man, player, coach.......something called HEART!!!
