Bump When an ESPN Talking Head Compares FSU to an SEC Team

Submitted by HelloHeisman91 on

I mentioned this in a thread earlier today and I have heard it mentioned twice already that FSU plays like an SEC team.  I guess if ESPN can't have an all SEC title game they are going to try to make us feel like we are watching one.  It's a joke and they should be talking about FSU representing their own conference, The ACC.  I would be pissed if I ran or rooted for The ACC.

I feel odd saying this about a guy who's financial future is so secure but I honestly feel kind of bad for the guy. By all accounts from people who have met him and spoken to him, he truly seems to be a stand up guy and a role model, regardless of his faith and stance on religion (trying not to step over that line, mods). But he has received so much unwarranted media attention that there are tens of millions of people who have never even met the guy in passing who absolutely loathe him.

I mean, how shitty of a situation would that be if you couldn't even walk down the street or to go to the gas station without there being at leat few people to give you shit about anything just because a bunch of people on tv are obsessed with talking about you ALL. THE. TIME. Yeah, he has quite a bit of money now, but damn...

I'll just reference Third Eye Blind's Semi-Charmed Life for all the "bump" newbies . . . 

The sky was gold, it was rose
I was taking sips of it through my nose
And I wish I could get back there, someplace back there
Smiling in the pictures you would take
Doing crystal meth, will lift you up until you break
It won't stop, I won't come down
I keep stock with the tick-tock rhythm, I bump for the drop
And then I bumped up, I took the hit that I was given
Then I bumped again, then I bumped again
I said...

How do I get back there, to the place where I fell asleep inside you
How do I get myself back to the place where you said...

I want something else, to get me through this
Semi-charmed kinda life, baby, baby
I want something else, I'm not listening when you say good-bye

long before the SEC mythology began. What an idiot, tripping out on crap that ain't even believable when you actually consider it. It's as idiotic as his comment about McCarron's girl friend last year. Brent needs to consider looking live at this game next year from his own home. By the way, did it seem like they were broadcasting from some remote location in Bristol instead of the Rose Bowl? That booth looked like a space capsule.

Midwestern coaches who migrated there after getting their starts in the Bible belt of college football, Ohio and Michigan. They have succeeded in the South because of population changes, favorable weather and recruiting climate and their own drive. We are talking principally about three coaches who have created this SEC myth: Saban, Miles and Meyer. 

LSU has won under both Saban and Miles. Alabama has flourished under Saban and Meyer had his greatest success at Florida. 

Auburn won with a coach it no longer employs who had an ex-Florida recruit transfer to his school for one glorious year. This year the Tigers got to the NC game led by an a former high school offensive guru who became everybody's go-to expert on uptempo football. 

Both the coaches from last night's championship game have backgrounds that mesh with Saban whose coaching influence extends to Dantonio, who just enjoyed his most successful year of his career. 

It's not the conference, it's the coaches -- and what they do with the job they get at the program they are at. It's about the ability to mold consistently winning teams. Is their a reason they call Miami of Ohio the cradle of coaches, or why Bo and Woody are still revered at their respective schools and conferences? 

In college football, it's about the coaches.
