It always makes me laugh when West Coasters talk about football as if they know what real football is. It's one thing to have a good game when you play an SEC defense one time a year. But if you play LSU one week, then the next week you play Bama, then you play Georgia, then Florida, and so on, that is a brutal schedule. It takes a toll on your mind and spirit and body. Now Barkley is an elite QB, and he would have success against SEC defenses. But he would not be throwing for 300+ yards every game or throwing 6 TDs per game like he does against Pac12 defenses. His YPG avg would most likely be 100 yds less per game and his TD per game avg would be 2 or 3 at the most. West Coasters can whine all they want about the SEC being in cahoots with the SEC, but it does not change the fact that when SEC teams play outside their conference, non-SEC offenses struggle to score points. In 2010 the boogers were statistically the 11th ranked D in the SEC, and they still crushed Oregon's high flying offense. Case closed, the verdict is in, and no more needs to be said.

good scarbinsky column = does not compute.

Last time I heard Shreidan before the BCS game, he said Bama would lose because AJ was not ready for the spotlight. He is nothing but a pot-stirring loser.

It won't be that many more years that they will be announcing who wins the Nick Saban Award.
