FTR, I hope we come out in a no huddle and stay in it the whole game.  Just to piss him off.

I am all for it but we need to score too to make it effective.

While I agree that Saban needs to STFU, I guarantee that they're probably saying the same thing places like Stillwater and Morgantown.  Everybody wants to point to the big, bad, wolf and say, "See, he's talking about US!  He's scared of US!"  Fact is, Oregon has been found lacking in their past two outings vs. upper echelon SEC defenses.  Saban isn't any more worried about them than anyone else.

Fair enough.  My thought was that he was actually talking about Ole Miss, whom they just played, and Missouri, who they are about to play. 

I didn't necessarily buy that it was about Oregon, but I definitley enjoyed the shots he took at Saban.   

Because IMO, even with all his succes, he's a whiny little beyotch who is actually worried about the hurry up (FTR, Ole Miss moved the ball on them better than anyone else this season) and is in fact trying to slant the field in his favor.

As for your point about SEC dominance, I am all for it provided it's not bammer.  Would love to see them crushed by anyone.  But to your point, if Oregon was "found lacking" against Auburn it wasn't by much.  LSU did humilate them in Baton Rogue.  I would like to see this year's LSU do that though.  Don't think they would.

They averaged 40+ ppg that year, and only scored 19 against AU.  And of the 6 straight NC teams in this current SEC run, AU had the weakest defense of them all. 

And the LSU game was on a neutral field in Dallas.

Well I will definitley concede they crushed Oregon last year.  There really isn't any disagreement about that.  I am too lazy to research it, but it could be that Oregon lost a lot last year and have reloaded this year.  Would love to see them, or anyone, beat bammer into the ground and stomp on them.    And fizzle that SEC shizzle where bammer is concerned.
