Ed Reed was a 2-star undersized, under recruited kid in a era where those types of kids fell threw the cracks. Today's age the recruiting sites are much better at identifying those kids and ranking them accordingly. So that's not a good example breh.

LSU's uptick started with Kevin Faulk staying instate and grinding for 4 years building that program upwards. Those HS kids saw that and LSU became cool again. By the time Saban got there in '99 their record might not have showed it but the talent was there.

LSU has always been a sleeping giant in CFB because it's the only school that matters in a state full of blue chip HS players. Arky doesn't have that advantage.


This guy gets it.....

Wtf does UCLA have to do with usc or Alabama :heh:

Much different tier.

Historically... They are a revered athletic program(including B Ball of course)....from an athletic/academic standpoint.... See....TCU, Baylor, Oregon, albeit newly manufactured, are considered powerhouses......

I say that to say that the difference in between good programs and bad programs, is leadership, and how much you're willing to invest....

Notre Dame was irrelevant for over 20 years, but no one would dare say they are a bad program....

Bama ass DC
We play that same offense and we land good QB recruits. We just don't kno how to develop them :russ:

Bruh I swear LSU been recruiting the same exact cat over and over. Russell Shepard look like jordan Jefferson who resembles Brandon Harris but looks like anthony Jennings. It's gotta be one dude. Cause they all play thr same too :russ:

Alabama was barely 500 for about 10 years.......... I could say the same thing for some other money schools as well
Well what are we talking about? Good as in historically good or good in a current stretch?

Traditional top programs are going to get a pass for subpar stretches. During those down times I wouldn't have said Bama was a good program at that point. Historically yes.

Relative to Arkansas during our time they just haven't been a consistently good program. Plenty of flashes :manny:

Look at the bolded... .Tradition>>> It basically means that a part of that state's culture is committed to that team's success...... That's what makes a good program.......... See, a lot of what you guys are seeing now are politics and capitalism awarding certain schools because of "tradition"

College football is smoke and mirrors man... There is nothing transparent or sportsmanlike about it....
