So what you're saying is, the Northern coaches have to show the southerners how to play ball? Gotchya'.

SEC use of medical hardship/transfer/etc to end the career after 1,2 years isn't "some minute tool" - it's their entire philosophy, and fits right with their use of oversigning. It's the other side of the coin. It's part of the Southern culture of abusing people because they can - aka the cultural self-justification of slavery - it's not right, and that's why the big10 won't do it. Not shockingly, the big10's model was not even considered by the SEC.
I hate the SEC and the South because of that culture, and I will always root for OSU to run up the score on every SEC team at every opportunity.

A. That's not clear nor is it accurate. We look good because we had the best bowl record almost a decade running and because we just won 7 straight crystal balls. Among other things.
I don't know about the bowl thing.....but you had specific teams win those titles. One or two great teams doesn't not a good conference make. If that were the case then it could be argued that the Big Ten is the best conference because it now holds the title.
B. It had more upperclassmen talent, yes. Totally granted. We'll see how they do next year. IMO the SEC is slowly moving toward much more of a college basketballish "rent a player" model. No redshirts, three years for everyone, if you haven't proved yourself within two years you transfer.
But regardless, you mention our apparently lousy bowl record last year when we were only #2 in the bowl standings, as opposed to our usual #1. Oh, whatever will we do with such a failure.
I don't think it was that good. Show us the record.

We were 7-5, PAC was 6-2.
During the streak, 4 different teams won natties. So no it's not all one team.

Just to be fair, here are the origins of the Big Ten HCs:
Urban Meyer HC Ohio St. ....born Ashtabula Oh, degrees at Cincinnati and Ohio St.
Mark Dantonio HC Mich. St.....born El Paso Tx, degrees at South Carolina and Ohio U
James Franklin HC Penn St....born Langhorne Pa, degree at Stroudsburg St.
Pat Fitgerald HC Northwestern...born Chicago area degree at Northwestern
Gary Anderson HC Wisconsin...born Salt Lake City, degree at Utah
Mike Riley HC Nebraska....born in Idaho, degree at Alabama
Jerry Kill HC Minnesota...born rural Kansas, degree at Southwestern Kansas
Kirk Ferentz HC Iowa...born Royal Oak Mich, degree at Connecticut
Jim Harbaugh HC Michigan...born Toledo, OH, degree at Michigan
Randy Edsall HC Maryland...born in PA, degree at Syracuse
Kevin Wilson HC Indiana...born in North Carolina, degree at North Carolina
Kyle Flood HC Rutgers...born in Queens, degree at Iona
Tim Beckman HC Illinois....born in Berea OH, degree at Findlay OH
Darrell Hazell HC Purdue...born in New Jersey, degree at Muskingam College OH

We average almost 80,000 people at every SEC game. Yes, we are "better fans." Get over it.
The Top 5 schools in attendance in college football consists of 3 Big Ten Teams, 1 Big 12, and one SEC
Yes, there is a difference. But Bama folks would still come away saying "we got a ranked win." Maybe you want to evaluate the records during that week and determine where exactly MSU deserved to be ranked? I mean since you're omniscient and all. I know that last year IIRC, there was only one team that made it to 7-0.
Yes, by playing Southern Mississippi, UAB, So. Alabama,and UT Martin

You can make the cutoff mark wherever you want. Who has more of the top 10? 15? 20? 25? Who has the highest average? I already said the Big 10 had three high quality, power programs. And after that, not much. Nebraska has the history and fan support but no longer has any local talent or national appeal.
And yet very few other teams had the same record at that point, despite the fact that everyone plays weak comp early in the year.

We? You mean they. The only we that you can count is your alma mater.....and I assume that is A&M. How did they do?

But for a conference that claims superiority they suffer from diabetes more than any other. No one other of the power conferences piles on the creampuffs and cupcakes like the SEC.

A&M won its bowl.
The best coaches definitely come from up north. Too bad you guys can't keep them up there.
But doesn't the majority of SEC coaches being northerners blow up the theory that we're fine with treating players poorly just like we're fine with having slaves and treating them poorly?
The randomness, patheticness, inconsistency, and General "throw crap against the wall to see what sticks" tenor of the attacks on the SEC are hilarious. There is no coherent argument other than "well we won the last national championship."

Holy shit.
Oversigning tied to slavery.
Creative.

Well, coaches are human and susceptible to all that under the table money that gets thrown around down there.

I don't think I was ever one that said that the SEC treated their players poorly....at least not while those players are there. I believe Woody's theory is that to the SEC players are a fungible commodity......discardable if they are perceived no longer useful. While I don't know if that is true, I guess it is plausible (and may happen at any number of other places). As to slavery, again, I never said they treated the players poorly....just that it was ironic that certain southerners want to use those grandsons of slaves as reason to pacify themselves over the loss of the Civil War. They probably treat the pretty well.

The SEC and its supporters open themselves up to attack by their ignorance, arrogance...and disreputable ways. You get what you pay for.

It's not under the table. The SEC pays coaches very handsomely. That is on the record and "books," not off of them.
Fine, I can't tie you to the slavery position stated a page or so ago. But whoever did take that position saw their theory blown up by seeing the birthplaces of SEC coaches.
Yes they are commodities. They're on scholarship for the entertainment of the students and alumni, to present a "face" for the school, and to bring it prestige. If you can turn them into good people, great. But to me that's not the goal of the program. Just a difference of opinion. We can agree to disagree on the purpose of college football. But that doesn't mean other conferences are just as good on the field. They're just better at other things.

OK, right, the coaches are paid above the table, the players below.

I AM the one that said that some southern douchebags think that having good SEC football teams somehow makes up for losing the Civil War. And I said that it is the sons of those former slaves.....the institution that the South fought so hard to protect and retain...that is "winning" that battle for you.
But I never equated those players current situation to slavery. No, they are all getting paid like good employees/independent contractors/capitalists.

Well, players may be commodities at other schools/conferences. Its just that the SEC is most blatant about it.
But, here is a FYI for you....sort of changing the topic. As I told you before my daughter goes to Trinity there in SA. My sister in law lives there and while she was in HS we visited the in-laws and my daughter loved the area and like the school...so she chose to go there. Well, another branch of the in-laws family also lives in that area and a couple of their boys go to TAMU. Apparently they faced the music and knew they could not get into Trinity. Well, when my daughter got accepted and enrolled in Trinity apparently there was a fair amount of jealousy and resentment over it because of the feeling that they would not be qualified. Some of their thinking was that my daughter was never good enough to get in or make it there. Well, she got in, and is making it. (though I will say her grades need to be better). The worst of the bunch may actually be her own aunt...my wife's sister. She has a serious vanity streak and hates for it to be perceived that someone is getting by better than her. What should have been an occasion of pride for her became a reason for her to be resentful.

I know what you said about slavery (and disagree). I was referring to whoever said we treat our players badly because we treat people badly in general, just like "we" treated the slaves.

You have no basis to disagree. What I said was a fact. Some people think that way. I am not saying you do....but others in the more traditional south do.
(Texas is not really the south...even though it was part of the Confederacy. It is really part of the West. Or, maybe half is south and the other half west.) SA is the west.

That's like saying it's fact that people think Cleveland is shitty. Or it's fact that people think Tom Brady didn't cheat. Or it's fact that people think the moon is made from Kate Upton's tits.
Yes. There are probably people who think that. There are plenty of dumbass people in the world with plenty of dumbass opinions.
