Message: [QUOTE="Crusty, post: 312606, member: 2265"] [FONT=arial][/FONT] [FONT=arial]Last year Alabama spent 980,882 on recruiting alone, Auburn 950,378, Georgia Tech 883,430 and Arkansas 666,419, Indiana spent 202,172 and Washington State 202,172. Duke and Vandy are private schools so comparable data is not available. I stand by my statement about spending. These football programs have never had high aspirations.[/FONT] [FONT=arial]I guess we can agree that there are many more factors that affect recruiting than just recent w-l record. Perhaps, we can leave it at that.[/FONT] [FONT=arial]We are playing catch up because we sucked for a decade. That means we were not on the radar when these kids starting playing Pop Warner. We were nowhere, a non-starter, i.e. not in the conversation.[/FONT] [FONT=arial]A tough OOC schedule? Really? This year's schedule will be the first tough OCC in a long time.[/FONT] [FONT=arial]2011 - Wake Forest, Rhode Island, USC, Tulane, Toledo[/FONT] [FONT=arial]2010 - Akron, Washington, Maine, Colgate, Boston College[/FONT] [FONT=arial]2009 - Minnesota, PSU, Northwestern, Maine, Akron[/FONT] [FONT=arial]2008 - Northwestern, Akron, PSU, Notre Dame[/FONT] [FONT=arial]If you think that playing 10 ACC/SEC teams plus 2 patsies is comparable to our schedule then lets just agree to disagree.[/FONT] [FONT=arial]Do you think you get better playing Tiger Woods or the NYS Amateur champ? Playing against a 95 mph fastball or an 85? Playing against guys running 4.5 forties or 4.9?

It’s not like New York where one move will work. I had to learn different moves. … I had to turn it up.”[/COLOR][/FONT][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [FONT=arial]DM has the right idea.[/FONT] [SIZE=3][FONT=arial][COLOR=#000000][/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
