Creer would have been 5th string if he had stayed at UT, and that's after factoring in the injury to Williams.
Maybe. I personally think he would have been ahead of both Hardesty and Williams. JMO. He had the most speed. I remember getting excited everytime he was in the game because he hit holes that none of the other running backs were hitting. Then he actually had break away speed after he got through the hole.
Les Miles is not getting fired anytime soon. They're still only 2 years removed from the NC. I'd watch out for Miami, although Shannon helped himself bigtime with the win over FSU.
Lots of LSU fans hate him. You should read some of the stuff they say about him. It's pretty bad. They blame last season on him and a lot of them have lost faith after the season opener to Washington. They seem to think they should be playing in the SEC championship every year.
bama has recruited 25 or more 3 years in a row is all i am saying and they are having no problem staying up top...that argument doesn't cut it
Our 3 JUCOs haven't been factored into the ratings yet, neither has Meline. Tomorrow, you should see the Vols well inside the Rivals top 10 when they factor in:
Bruce Irvin- 4star, 5.9
John Brown- 4star, 5.8
Ted Meline- 4star, 5.8
Pat Harris, 3star, 5.7

I lived in NOLA for 4 years right around the time LSU was getting good. Les Miles was hitting his stride with Saban's team. LSU fans acted as if their recent success was some kind of God given right as if they were a historically significant program. I will give them this...they have been the top team in the SEC this decade along with UF. Other than that, their general attitude about their place in history was just retarded. I had to keep reminding them that UT had a winning record in Death Valley.
Les Miles coaching was an absolute joke when they won the NC (with 2 losses I might add). Their sheer talent and blind luck got them through that season. That season was also the screwiest in all of my memory of college football. Appy State beats Michigan, etc, etc.
You make a good point. Bama does have other good RB depth besides the three I mentioned, such as Upchurch (Sr), Griffin (Medical redishirt Soph out this season with knee injury), Terry Grant (Jr) who appears to be moving to slot receiver this week, Goode (Jr), etc. Even with Ingram (So), Richardson (Fr) and Lacy (Fr), Bama was still able to land for 2010 both Jalston Fowler, the big power back that Bama really wanted, and Cory Grant, a smaller speedy RB who will more likely play in the slot as much if not more than at RB. Both were in-state players. Bama had to battle Auburn to some extent and UF pretty hard to get Corey Grant. But it was proving fruitless to try to land a RB as highly ranked as Dyer, Seastrunk, Lattimore, Mack Brown, etc. Bama was getting nowhere with them. For example, UF was more attractive to Brown than Bama and UGA, because UF didn't really have many if any RBs of his caliber on their depth chart.There's always room for another big recruit even with Bama's depth. USC has 6 deep in their backfield. Each and everyone could contribute on the majority of teams in the NCAA.
Bama lost a couple of great 2007 signees to pro baseball and one took a couple of years of prep school work to finally get qualified. A couple of 2008 guys are going through Juco and will be part of the 2010 class. Three 2008 guys have transferred elsewhere. So Bama's recent signees attrition hasn't been too bad at all.Do you know how many of them didn't get in because they were over the limit for scholarships and couldn't get in because of academics? Teams like Ole Miss, Troy, Army get 35-40 commits but they don't all end up on the roster. There is a reason Florida only had 16 commitments last year. They didn't go over the limit and they only took kids they knew would get in academically.
They better watch out for Vanderbilt this weekend.![]()
