It's hard to say about Clark. Without looking at his career stats and going strictly by memory, I want to say he is on the cusp of being a no brainer selection but he had a period of several years where he was dogged by injuries which resulted in a few less than stellar seasons. He was solid throughout his career and spectacular in his early years

---

Longevity hurt him. Only 15 years. He had 284 HRs and 1205 hits in 14 seasons. Just not enough.

Finished 15th in the conference in rushing yards per game.

We were 13th in rushing attempts. When we were running the ball a lot everybody was screaming we needed to update our offense and throw the ball. Now that we are throwing the ball (3rd in SEC in passing yards per game) we need to run the ball. :lol:

It's like Peter Buck said. It's a matter of perspective.

To your point...you can blame Bobo for not running the ball more, and that would be accurate. But, had we run the ball more and not won a title people would be saying we had a QB that was supposed to be picked #1 over all or at least top 10 in the draft..so why didn't we throw the ball. In short, we can all be Monday morning QB's and nitpick, and find things we "should" have done differently.

As fans we have the luxury of criticizing when things don't go as we had hoped. That's fair. But we did finish #6 in the country, and made the playoffs. Should we be satisfied? No. But we shouldn't throw the towel in and become jaded, either.

I have just about stopped going into the baseball threads because people are saying they will stop watching the baseball team because they are "fed up" with them. That's a team that is 20-2 right now. :lol: Georgia fans complain about anything and everything.

UGA fans were complain because we couldn't make March madness a couple f years ago, and somebody just started a thread talking about we would all be dead before the basketball was any good. And we just made March Madness.

My point is not to point fingers (I never pointed out any individuals...and won't) but to say this: If we don't learn to enjoy the teams and what they are doing we will go through some fun times and look back on them and wonder why we didn't remember it being so good. We no longer enjoy individual games, but grow bitter over not winning a championship in every sport every year.

We have a great football team, decent basketball team and very good baseball team. Enjoy it, and hope they get better, but don't get mad over every little aspect of a game.

Too early to be concerned about preseason polls or RPI

Seems odd. You usually tout Tennessee ranking year round. Now they mean nothing? :lol:

Alabama fans have really sunk to new lows. Wearing an Ohio State disguise. I would throw up. :lol:

The fact of the matter is, you had a 95 overall team go up against a 75 overall team and got brought to double overtime

---

And they are in exactly the spot 14 other SEC teams wish they were in and one still hopes to be in. They are one of the top 4 teams that will still be standing after tonight.

That would be the lowest rated Natty since LSU-Bama. No one wants to watch them play a third time. And for a second time in Atlanta.

---

I have to say...I have never made a decision on whether to watch a game or not watch it based on where the game was being played. :lol:

3 games is not ideal, but the second game was a really good game. It might bring in a lot of viewers.

Some people are working tomorrow. At least make it a night game. Damn.

They have to take everything into consideration. Move the game to Saturday and you give Penn State more time to heal up. They have an extra 4 days to get well from injuries and the winner of the Sugar Bowl gets heal time cut by an extra 3-4 days. It matters.

Alabama was a true Jekyll and Hyde team this year. When they were good, they were very, very good. When they were bad, they were very, very bad.

Actually 4 on the 1st page and 2 more on the 2nd page DL. And he is probably holding himself back from posting more.

Crap. He has to be an Alabama fan. Right?

Good to see you, BigD. I hope your New Years was good. As is my custom the wife and I went to bed at 10PM. I'm too old to stay up till midnight these days. I give myself another year or two, and i will be eating supper at 4PM and going to bed at 6PM. :lol: :cheers:

Didn't he beat Auburn, LSU and Georgia?

Yes, he did. He also beat Missouri.
