Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012
Haha, I'll tell you one more thing. i had to laugh last night when Verne Lundquist said "Alabama is now in field
goal range, it would be a 48 yarder if they kicked it right now". I was thinking, DOES ANYONE think that Nick Saban is playing for 3 points? REALLY VERNE?? How deluded. That's why I just let all the air out of myself and sat and watched in total resignation. I knew that the tide was going for the win or nothing. After the first completion of the drive I knew. I will leave it to the people who like bama to talk up the Oregon matchup, but I'll say it like I say it every year. It ALWAYS looks good on paper. Ask Ohio State. |

It was Oklahoma right? No they went twice and got killed both times. Maybe it was Ohio State, oh yeah killed twice too. Hmm, I remember Bama walking all over Texas, so not them. Oh yeah it was Oregon, no wait Auburn beat them two years ago. Oh yeah it was last year an SEC team lost, wait that was to another SEC team. I'm sure Oregon is better than all those other teams though, it's the shiny outfits that give them the power. :rolleyes: |
Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012
If it ends up Alabama and Oregon-------Bama wins by at least 4TDs.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012
It's sad really, I think there should be more play between conferences in the top 25. As it is everyone pads their schedule and their only tough games are in-conference, that leads to a lot of skill disparity between conferences.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012
Looks like my UK football team finally dumped the coach. Time for the next one to step up, get paid, and get fired :r
It actually makes me sad. Is a 7 win season consistently too much to ask for? |

Anyway, great game. One that we should have lost, but somehow didn't. One that when Yeldon lost the fumble and LSU drove it down our throats to score, I said we're gonna lose this game. Don't forget LSU had an extra week to prepare and rest. I know we could use some rest about now. We're all beat up. This was also the first game, other than WKU, that we were mostly in our "base defense" for the whole game all year. Now we'll have to go back to being a little more "unconventional." aTm will present challenges, but I think you'll see us play them about like LSU played them. Should be a similar time game. At least I hope. Carry on... |

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012
There is nothing better in the world for a sports fan IMO than high stakes SEC football :tu :tu
First we were treated w/the drama of Florida-Georgia last week and now the instant classic of 'Bama-LSU As a Gator fan, I am thankful that Metteberger did not play that way in the Swamp earlier in the season but, if you can't play your best ball in your home stadium at night after a week of preparation against your arch rival than LSU should have run him out on a rail anyhow. Nonethe-Les, Miles was definitely tryin' to get too cute. In an SEC battle you take the 3 points! Herbstreit tweeted after the game that he though it ended in reverse of last years regular season battle in Tuscaloosa - Bama played better all game but LSU snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. Its the football circle of life I guess Thinking in the interest of Florida, Bama's victory was in our favor due to the possibility of this scenario - Gators beat FSU in Talla-nasty (*fingers crossed*), Georgia gets it dry at an angle from Bama in Atlanta (can't wait to see it) which means Florida is the only 1 loss SEC team and we go to the BCS Sugar Bowl :D |

Not saying its inevitable Bama will win, assuming they get by Georgia (but come on, :r), but when the non-SEC team in the BCS game actually has a DEFENSE, then I'll be concerned |

off of the Champ. game where you guys had a month of rest?? Duh, I guess I can look it up on the webster... Yep, you guys were off for a week last time. All homerism aside, this was a superb football game. Last year I liked it because we won, but was not a fan of the game from almost any other standpoint. Sat nite the game was constantly up for grabs, nearly from the opening kick. I know fans of young-man football could care less, but wow, what a football game. If I wasn't so mad at Les Miles, I could enjoy it more, but I enjoyed so many aspects of the game. One was the courtesy and sportsmanship of the tide. The Tide D could have re-arranged Mettenberger's DNA on all those pass attempts where he hung in the pocket, but they gave him the bennie of the doubt that he WAS going to throw and not pump and they never killed him once that I recall. They simply tackled him and everyone lived to play another down. I DID NOT like the camera shot they got on number 6, giving 'kissy goodbye' lips to the LSU fans in the stands after the big closing drive. I thought that was classless. but there are SO many of those moments in every game, only a fraction get on camera. Like that moron Mettenberger playing the 'cell phone-call me' move as if he had suddenly re-written the record books of college football by scoring a TD. But of course its ALL just kids being kids. What ya gonna do. Obviously I hope A&M beats the Tide, but you made your path to the big game clear, and I see no way to stop the ball rolling downhill. Should be another egg for the elephants, hope they glue this one down. |

are laid out writhing on the turf holding whichever body part is changed forever, the offense is bound to slow WAY down. Not that we intend to hurt anyone, but 'big meets little' at 45 mph USUALLY winds up that way. It's like Indiana Jones, that dude is flipping that scimitar back and forth, whirling and twirling it in a flashy show, and Indy just pulls out a revolver and shoots him dead. THAT'S what I think of every new years |

The ONLY reason I wanted Bama to lose REALLY, was the fact that all the power teams would have one loss. No one would be shocked to know I like a lil Chaos. |

to scheduling light. I know most of this is done many years in advance, so I doubt it was an effort to finally beat bama, lol, but I was saddened to see it. I liked the swagger you can lay claim to when you take a chance and schedule tough NCOs. Hopefully they will go back to that. If you can't hang, at least you tried....USM was like that historically. |
