Strung Out
...I wish I had written my prediction of this one! Just didn't get around to it. Notre Dame's close calls and the idea that they'd be any more than an also ran if they played in the SEC was the basis of my view on who would win.
However, that's not my point here. My point is this post victory talk on sports radio and TV of Alabama being able to not just compete but, to beat some NFL teams including but not limited to Steve Spurrier, whom I always liked.
This is simply silly. Alabama has a few kids every year that go to the pro's. Some even become starters and stars. However, EVERY team in the NFL, from the Chiefs to the Patriots, is filled from top to bottom with people who might not have been THE star at Alabama but, would most certainly beat out anyone on the team who was NOT THE star and, conversely the vast majority of Alabama players, ever year, will not even play special teams in the NFL let alone start. Alabama would be doing well to make a first down, one, against an NFL team or to hold an NFL team to a FG once in awhile.
I just wanted to point that out.
