Ask yourself why Bama players have fat faces and then so many have injury issues after they leave Bama. The NFL has much better testing that they enforce for PEDs. It's well known that when a player goes off these that their risk of injury goes up.

Not buying it, satan is all about player safety you know.   :doh:

At Bama the Corners and safeties look like linebackers.....linebackers look like defensive ends.....running backs look like pulling guards that run a 4.4.

They must have one hell of a training table at Turdville. :wow:

All injured from playing against fast-paced offenses. 

I've posted this before, but it bears repeating.  During the NC game last year, they mentioned that bammer had 8 guys on that team that bench pressed 600 or better.  Eight.  On one team.  In all my years of watching UT football, I don't know of a single guy we've had who benched 600.  I can only name two who benched 500 (Walker and Weary).  So...draw your own conclusions.  I realize that if you were to test everyone, just about every roster in America is going to have some individuals who are using PEDs.  But for some programs it seems a bit more, for lack of a better word, systemic than others.

I was going th stay out of the Crimson Tide  bashing threads, but this is a matter of fact. (Yes, I'll soon be banned and that's Ok). BDV, I don't where you heard that, but that's not true. There was one player-Jessie Williams-that could bench six hundred but that's it. Williams had earlier been a JUCO transfer, and was already benching a huge amount upon his arrival two years ago. You said you heard that claim during the national championship game. BTW, I've watched it several times as you can probably imagine, and have never heard that claim. I've got a copy of it, and would love to hear you tell me at what point you heard that eight players bench six hundred.

And obviously I don't have a copy of it, and I don't care to comb through footage of two of the teams I hate the most in the world to find it.  I can't tell you when it was said, as obviously that game got out of hand pretty quickly, and the announcers had to dig deep into the press guides and start ad-libbing pretty early on.  But I know what I heard.  In fact, I made a post about it on here the moment it was said.  Maybe it's still in the archives, but I wouldn't know where to begin looking for it.

I will be nice. I'm sure you think you heard that, but you are just simply mistaken. Hey, I was mistaken too about the Saban timeline leading up to his appearance before the rules committee. Unless you're a closet Crimson Tide fan, I think even you would agree I probably have watched that game many more times than you, and would be the better prospect between the two to say what was said during the telecast. At no point did they say eight players could bench 600 pounds,  


BG

I'm not jumping in, but I do remember that post! Just sayin'.


G

What's up Greg!?! I remember you from Knoxville. I'm sure he did post what he thought he heard.  However, there is no team in college football history that has even close to having 8 players bench six hundred each. Those numbers are absurdly high. It was not 8 players at 600 each, I promise. :laugh:



BG

I remember a comment along those lines, because I recalled it when BDV posted that, but it may have been a statement that bammer had 8 players over 500, not 600.  But BG doesn't recall a comment of any sort.

Well I am not going to rewatch the game either, but it might give BG an excuse to do so.   :naughty:

Bandit, I didn't say I didn't recall any comment on those lines, just that there was never anything said about 8 players benching anything close to 600. I don't remember how many players were mentioned, but yes, they gave a specific number that could bench 500.


Got through watching it early this morning at 4:00 so as to be specific in my answer.  Yes, I'm joking but I do need to watch it again....and again....and again. :wink:



BG

Whatever, man.  For argument's sake, I'll concede.  But the point of Nut's original post remains: physically, there is a gulf of difference between bama and everyone else.  It's very...peculiar, to say the least.  Maybe your S/C guy is just that good, I don't know.

Always respect those that can concede when they're wrong, many times I am, too. It goes with the territory when wanting to debate issues. No one hates Bama more than Bandit, but one reason I like him is he can admit to being wrong  and he can laugh when he is wrong. Some can't.


BG

Um, yea....not so much. I contend, not even close.  :naughty:

Well I found the original thread:

http://volstothewall.com/board/index.php?topic=26980.msg131134#msg131134

You did say "several players over 600", but also worded it as "did I just hear...?".   It could be that the announcers got it wrong or that you heard wrong.  I googled and as BG says only one bammer player is mentioned elsewhere as lifting over 600.  

But FWIW, the comment by BDV was about an hour after kickoff... :biggrin:

Oops...CDT vs EDT strikes again...the comment was shortly after kickoff.

It's not peculiar at all, it's pretty obvious. I guarantee you that if you could look into medical histories of Bama football players a lot of them will also exhibit jaw problems.

Ahem.....I find it hard to believe that anyone hates bammar more than Pirate and I :dcool:

I am a PROUD member of the hate bamer early and often club!  BTW, my membership number is not too high ... :naughty:

Who let YOU back in?  :dance:

I know a guy.  :naughty: After the last couple of days, I think there are several here that wish I would go away again.   :dielaughing:

I bet I could stick around for two days and make them hate you a lot less.  :naughty:

Jaw problems? What do you mean? :confused:

Holler, you may be right, hate is such a hard emotion to put into words………but here goes.   :smile:

If a team playing that red team had the following line-up:
Co-head coaches: A. Hitler and J. Stalin
Offensive Coordinator: Mao
Defensive Coordinator:  Pol Pot
Special Teams Coach: Che Guevara
Player Line-up:  Pick the worst of the worst (murderers, rapists, those who torture innocent civilians, etc., etc., etc.)
I would gladly sit on their sideline and cheer for their team (a team that might be wearing Russian jerseys).

When I’m involved in sports conversations that head in this direction, and they often do (who is your favorite team?  Who is your least favorite team?), I usually don’t hold back.  The others normally just laugh, and rightfully so, but I never crack a smile because I mean every word of it.  I know my hatred is neither healthy nor rational, and is one of my MANY character flaws.  I need to fix these flaws, but believe me, this one will be the last one I address.  :nod:

I would never downplay your hatred for that team, and the more the better I say.  If you and/or Pirate can honestly say you feel the same way, let’s join in solidarity (pun intended) to hate them as one.  :thumbup:

Whoa...so it's literally turning them into cavemen.  LOL!
