Whoopsie. Not even across midfield until 6 minutes left in the game? Tsk tsk.

Well, that was certainly decisive.

Yep, First Shutout in BCS History.

ROLL TIDE!

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Very very impressive showing by Bama. Congrats to all the fans of The Crimson Tide.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

OLS...

Where are you??????

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

My congratulations to the Bama Fans here....I went to bed at halftime. The ESPN3 internet viewer window was
so stuttery it was giving me a migraine. What was ON IT was not too encouraging either. Not sure what Les
Miles did in the second half, but if it was as hard-headed as it was in the first, I didn't miss much. The only success
we had against the tough bama D all night was in vertical passing. As soon as we would complete a pass, he would call
a run. I would have kept it up until I out-scored the Tide, no matter what types of interceptions or worse happened.

Outstanding defensive scheme, and the kicking game did not fail you. Impressive win.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Congrats to all the Bama fans!!! I really enjoyed watching that butt whipping!!

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Congratulations to LSU. They racked up an impressive season record of 13-1, the best record in the SEC,
a better record than the National Champions themselves even. They went into Tuscaloosa and stole a game
from what now looks like a superior team who just played badly. They played arguably the toughest schedule in the
nation and breezed through it undefeated. They played as well or better on the road than they did at home. If I had
to blame anyone for the loss at the BCS title game, I blame the fans, who must have believed their own press SO MUCH
that they felt like they could sit in the stands and drink and watch their team struggle against a brick wall of a defense
and let Bama run their offense in polite silence. And then there's the impressive lineup of wins over the Rose, Orange,
Cotton, Gator, Peach, Music City and BCS NCG bowl games. Impressive.

Yes sir, that was a mighty good season for the Tigers. 14-0 would have looked PRETTY SWEET on the mantle next
to that crystal egg they laid in the Superdome. But alas it was not to be. Bama only gets one kudo from me, see
reply above. But that was huge, just huge.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

That is one huge crow

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

You know, for all the smack that was talked, impressive to see you post such a classy post even in defeat. Honestly. It's sore losers and sore winners that make the game unbearable. Of course we all like to gloat a little when we win, and that's expected. But I hope that we all have some solace in the fact that this is the first time in 6 years that an sec team lost in the bcs game... And it came at the hands of another sec team. Keep it in the south baby! Those other folks don't know how to play ball!

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Well, Jeremy, either you don't know me very well, or you thought I was lying when I told you what I would do if we lost. ;)
Smack must be talked, I am a Homer. I DID promise to post "after the game", but I went to bed at the half owing to bad
web video. But I am not so far gone that I do not understand or comprehend a good ole fashion "a55-handing-to".
I will not come with excuses the next morning when we lose, because in football there ARE no excuses. Lose a player
early in the game, you replace him with another. If you don't have another, that's YOUR FAULT. Miss a bunch of field goals??
Get a new kicker. QB having an off night?? Replace him. Backs not playing up to par?? Switch em. Don't HAVE better
guys waiting in the wings? Then you aren't the best team, are you?
A lot of times you get fans who are flush with excuses or explanations as to why they lost. They are full of Smacktalk
when they win, but tell you you don't know what you are talking about when they lose. That is the worst kind of sportsman-
ship. Your team loses, especially in this kind of indefensible performance, THEY LOST. There is no excuse for it, we are one
of if not the deepest team in football. And yet not one player in the rotation was able to do anything all that positive,
and certainly not turn the game around. I did like the play of the defensive line and the punter. And I will state here
what I have said elsewhere. SHAME on the 50,000+ LSU fans in attendance. SHAME ON YOU. You let Bama just run their
offense in respectful silence. You barely cheered on your own team, and ONLY when something really good happened,
which was infrequent to say the least. SHAME on you.
----------Edit---
Oh and SHAME on Brent Musberger. I hate him to begin with, but LSU fans did not "pick up the extra tickets".
Each team receives 17,000 tickets to the game, with the roughly 38,000 remaining divided among Sugar Bowl
season-ticket holders, corporate sponsors and the 125-person Sugar Bowl committee. Yes, a lot of those ended up
in partisan hands. But it was just another reason I hate Musberger. He is just awful.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Wow, that was a horrible game to watch. :bh "The SEC has the best football in the country" :rolleyes: The kicker can't even make a PAT :sh

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

You want to be MORE impressed Jeremy??
I think now that we escaped Tuscaloosa with a win against a superior team that played an inferior game.
That does not change in any way the fact that I thought the better team won that night, because of
the very reasons I list in the reply above. I had a LOT of trouble with the sore losers the next week who
all seemed to begrudge me my team's time in the spotlight. But make no mistake, coupled with the stoning
we got last night, and the virtual tie in Tuscaloosa on Nov 5th, it is clear that Bama is the 2012 National Champion.
They proved to be better in almost every way than LSU in two games this season. LSU is no slouch, not even close.
But NO TEAM IN THE MODERN HISTORY OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME HAS EVER been shut out. But Bama
shut out the Tigers. MIGHTY impressive. (The last shutout in a championship game was a 0-0 tie in the 40s.)

Sure, I am pi55ed. Sure, I am disappointed. Sure, I feel bad for my team. Sure, I feel bad for me especially.
But that was MIGHTY impressive.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Dan, you know I love you, but if you want to see a slaughter, put one of your top ten teams in
that game last night and see what happens. Sure, there would have been more touchdowns,
but I am not sure you would have liked the outcome any better.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Scary now to think of what might have 'happened' had Bama somehow failed to make it to the game,
because this was NEVER a lock. Had OK St not lost up in Ioway, they would be sitting at home last night
knowing they were the better team. OH WHY, OH WHY couldn't that have happened, hahah.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

I would not have liked the outcome, but at least I would have been entertained. I just hate seeing a quarterback not even come close to hitting his receivers (LSU QB), and missed PAT's (obviously Alabama)

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

No doubt. I believe the best two teams played. I wouldn't begrudge LSU one bit for saying they were among the best, Its easy to see they dominated every other team.

Btw I can't stand Brent turdburger either.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

I didn't watch the game, I'd rather watch paint dry. I did follow the score up until it was 9-0 and I was pretty shocked.
Now, if that shocked me, imagine how shocked I was to come in here and see Brad tip his hat.
Classy move, brother. :tu

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Im shocked at the outcome of the game. I expected more points from both sides, but on teh flip note, it was the defensive struggle I expected. But holding LSU back like they did, I did not expect.

OH well, glad the crystal is back in the state again :tu

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Well, the game was the defensive struggle I thought it would be. I am truly shocked at the lack of points from LSU. That outcome I would have bet against strongly! While it fits with Bama's defensive stats this year, there's no way anyone would have/should have expected that. I figured (especially when all Bama did in first half was FGs) the game would end up a reverse of the first game (Bama 9, LSU 6).

But I enjoyed the defensive excellence (from both teams) that is the mark of true championship teams (again, from both sides). Beat the heck out of watching most of the other bowl games where both teams pretty much scored at will. How many bowl games broke records in points scored, or other offensive catagories???

It's a two phase game. No defense, no national title or shot at a national title. Defense has been key in the SEC's wins over the last six seasons. The scores may not seem to reflect that in a couple of the games, but re-watch those games. Several were won befor the losing team tacked on a closing score where the winner basically traded a score that did not matter for time off the clock.

As far as boring..... I turned off most of the offense free-for-all bowl games at half time, because the looked like basketball games with all that uncontested running up and down the field, each team scoring at will! That's not football. That's barely half the game.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Maybe it's just me, but I liked watching in the second half as the other team helped guys up after the play was over. Mutual respect and classy.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

You were right, Brad. *just not in the way you intended*
;s

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

I turned off the game just after the half because it looked like a soccer game. Inability to come up with any offense, punt, punt, punt....that's barely half the game.....:r

From the ratings, it looks like I was not alone....

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Nah, soccer players are usually proficient at kicking.;)

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

I'd like to congratulate the LSU Tigers on a fine season, as well as the rest of my SEC brethren. Not a bad showing through bowl season.

For the many PlayStation experts out there, those who wanted anyone in this game but Bama, and in particular Oklahoma State, you need to understand the most basic concept about college football...when a great defense full of athletes faces a great offense full of athletes, the great defense wins virtually every time. Virtually. Every. Time.

There is no need to endlessly defend the concept of defensive football and certainly no need to justify the value of anyone's entertainment dollar. It's as irrelevant as looking at the ratings from the first BCS game on cable only.

Hopefully we can be a little more mature on this thread next year and I apologize for my contributing to that nonsense. Till next year...Roll Tide!

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Playstation experts? So again, numbers like sos and wins against ranked opponents don't count for anything....

For the record, I would like to think my comments(few as they have been) on this thread have been nothing but "adult".... Though truthfully, it appears that if you are not of the group think, you're a rebel rouser.....

As I said in another thread, I say congrats to the Bama faithful on their BCS Championship and LSU on a regular season unlike anything I have ever seen...

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

If you remember on page 20, post 395, Longknocker asked me what I would say if Bama won. I told him :
"I will come into this thread and congratulate all of you, exactly the way I would have done it had you
beaten LSU at Tuscaloosa earlier. I told you as much a month ago. I still feel the same way...if bama beats
the Tigers, it won't be one play or another, it will be that we failed to execute our game plan, the plays
needed to score, and to otherwise secure victory. I have no problem praising the better team."

That's why I lost a lot of respect for some folks in the thread. They couldn't do that in the reverse situation.
No one knows losing hurts in this situation more than me. All you guys did was lose a squeaker. It ended up
not hurting you one bit. We lost it ALL. But no matter how cocky, partisan or obnoxious I am in preparation
for the game, I have the class to give credit where it's due after it's all over. You won't hear a lot of excuses
out of me. That's what bull5hi+ fans do.. We got our a55 whipped by a superior force. And not only that,
we looked like5hi+ doing it. Bama showed everyone what a juggernaut they are. They shut EVERYONE up.
At least the ones that know what they're talking about.

But all that baloney about how we ought to all be happy, cause it's still the SEC that won, F that. I am pi55ed
that we lost, and I now officially hate bama, lol.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

One thing we do have to look forward to, more obnoxiousity by me, cause LSU is looking good for 2012.
Bama might be good too, not sure what they can do with what they might lose and what they WILL lose.
One thing for sure, McCarron is gonna be the QB to beat for best in the SEC. How embarassing was QB play this year?
LSU should have an easier time of it with the schedule in 2012, but it hurts to lose the big one after turning in the performance
we did with plate set before us. The way Oregon and WVU rose to the top was just like a 'meant to be' scenario. Ouch.
I don't follow it closely enough to know what all the other teams are going to be showing up with in 2012, so forgive me
if I leave the others out of my 'preview', lol.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Thanks For Being A Good Sport, Brad!:tu I Don't Think Anyone Expected That Score. I Never Did Hear Les Miles Say Anything About BAMA Outplaying His Tigers, Did You?

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

If everything goes your team's way, I can totally see that happening :rolleyes:

:lr

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Greg, I hate to say it, I didn't hear him say anything. I was asleep at the end, not from boredom, haha.
I expect him to say something like we got our butts whipped, hats off to Alabama, and to the coaches
and players. It has to be tough on him. He let himself be wildly out-coached. And the players deserved
better, much better. They had the kids to hang with bama. They know they were under-coached.
Shame. Miles has his hands full for a few months, probably 6-7.......

But great for the Tide, huh? Got to say, they made their fans very proud. ALL that sadness turned 180
degrees. I am sure the guy who is now internet famous and his crusty looking girlfriend must be TICKLED!

Not exactly in the football theme... but I wonder if there has ever been a time when one conference has held the national title in football, basketball, and baseball at one time?

from Answers.com California, Michigan, and Ohio State are the ONLY schools to win all 3 Division I Championships but none have one them in the same year.
