Default Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010

Thanks for getting the thread started right!! Roll Tide!

Now, lets kick off serious discussions: Wouldn't it send the signal to the NFL to get their house in order if ALL SEC schools excluded scouts at practices until the NFL developed a proper plan to deal with the devastation being caused to college players, their education and the college programs by un-ethical scouts and/or agents. This is really a NCAA wide need, not just the SEC. But, giving the current power rating of the SEC, maybe if we lead the way, we can get the NFL to at least acknowledge their responsibility.

Too heavy for this thread?

I think that would be a good thing. The only negative is that a coach has to totally close practices even from fans, as Meyer and Saban did, in order to assure no scouts or agents infiltrate. Football crazy SEC fans have become accustomed to attending practices but i think most fans approve of closing them for the greater good

Great post Mike!! Love it

It's these traditions that made me abandon the NFL!! I didn't watch one complete NFL game last year, but I watched hundreds of college football games!

Feel the same way bro. A bunch of over paid divas in my book. I still watch a few here and there but just cause I enjoy football in general. But watching a bunch of talented kids with something to prove at a school with a hundred years of tradition and pageantry being cheered on by a nut for his team like myself?!?! Thats what I'm talking about baby

See how easily I can get carried away.....is it Sept 4th yet???

Ditto, baby!!!

And, it's that support of tradition, and the appreciation of the heartfelt efforts placed on the field by the student athletes that makes college football so big. That tradition with U of A and AU is, IMO, the main reason that Birmingham will never have a successful NFL team (plus the fact we don't have the size to support one, even if the demand was truly there)!
