LMITOUT is just speaking in riddles like usual but I suspect he is talking about allegations that Alabama and some other SEC players received benefits.

Even if they did, it's not like they don't elsewhere.

To just make it even across the board, I think they should just start paying college athletes. When you consider that an out of state UCLA undergraduate tuition plus room and board is $55k PER YEAR, I guess they already are paying them when they're on scholarship -- to the tune of $4k plus per month. So really, what's the difference if they were to give them a few grand more per month for spending money? smile

I would have to disagree with you on paying them even a little. 99% of these kids on scholarship aren't going pro in anything. They however are coming out of school debt free with a education that would cost them around 100k. They don't like it sit out X years till your eligible to be drafted and skip school or go north of the border or of to Europe and get paid them come back here. Of course many want to blow it and get a education in general studies or some other talk degree. If your to dumb to take advantage and get a degree that will pay you well, then that's your fault.

A & M doesn't have a defense at all. I watched them in their opener and it was the same deal.

Alabama is good as always but they will face much tougher competition throughout the year.

A & M will finish in the middle of the pack in the SEC with this defense.

Both teams defenses are suspect...I would look for a new national champion this year....

Oregon has mighty fine uni's....

If Oregon were in the SEC, they would be middle of the pack at best. I'm not too sure they would fair much better in the Big 10 either.

Well, I didn't get to watch the game but it seems they did challenge Bama. However, great game and now that you beat the best you shouldn't have to worry about the rest.

Congrats.

I'm not too sure that A&M is the best and I think there are more challenges ahead but I hope you're right.

Nice Avatar BTW!
