Official SEC Football Thread 2012

Wow. Worst play call and execution ever.

[OLS]

A LOT easier to watch that kind of game when its A&M....I had stomach pains all night when it was LSU.
That was the last team that had any kind of chance to beat bama. I said it last week and all my hopes
were pinned on it. I am glad they were able to get it done. Hell of a showing for your first year in the SEC,
AGGIES.

Let the explanations begin.

[Remo]

Looks like Oregon and K-State.

Hmm Yeldon fumbles as Bama is trying to march down field and take the lead, when has that happened before? Oh yeah last week.

All things considered it was a great game, Bama played well from behind and just couldn't pull it out. The defense was banged up from last week and couldn't contain Manziel. 2 games to the SEC championship now haha. SEC won't be going to the NC unless a couple people lose.

[OLS]

OH CRAP, MIZZOU GETS A WIN!!!!
Yahoooooooooo!
Couldn't have happened to a better team, the VOLS. Is there a worse football color than freaking ORANGE??

As for the BCS NCG, ehhh, things will happen, NO ONE has the magic this year, its gonna be a fight and a war.
I highly doubt anyone is heading for a coronation this weekend. Bet there are some bama fans that wish it was a
4-team playoff in 2012, though.

[Bleez]

Well, Roll Cal, Roll Horned Frogs and Roll Trojans!!!

Also, who'd have thought thenSEC Championship would run through Auburn? (If my calculations are correct)

[oooo35980]

I don't know about correct but your calculations match mine. If auburn beats GA or Bama there will be turmoil.

Burned couches and such...

[oooo35980]

judging from the past hour or so I don't think GA has to worry about it much.

[OLS]

haha, I think you guys in Tuscaloosa are safe....Auburn has beaten bama before, but I don't see it.

[oooo35980]

Mississippi state is hanging with LSU, barely. I didn't see that one coming. LSU might be a bit worse for wear after last week too. I still don't think Mississippi state can win, but it isn't a complete embarrassment like their last two games.

[OLS]

At least you can watch it....no cable in my house. But Miss State is still a capable football team, just woefully
inconsistent. That's all coaching; bama has great players and great coaching and they keep them motivated and
performing at a high level. You can get very close with just talent. But you can't play well all the time that way.
MSU is completely capable of beating the tigers tonight. But LSU is in business to make it happen in the 4th qtr.
Watch for the relentless running game to just wear em down. Make no mistake, LSU can RUN the ball.

[oooo35980]

That sucks, we got cable specifically for the games after one week we weren't able to watch anything we gave a crap about online, ESPN sucks sometimes. Mettenberger looks like the real deal, he isn't having as good a game as last week, but way better than in the early season.

[icehog3]

I should watch Alabama games more often. Brought some luck....to the Aggies.

I don't know that I buy that Bama's defense problem was being beat up. They looked susceptible to the same offense that LSU threw at them, A&M just didn't let Bama stay as close to them in score as LSU did. I also don't understand the continued mismatch in size between the A&M end (was it 6'5" to 5'10"??). I don't know if that was due to Bama Not having any better option, or if the experience of our defender was just felt to be enough to make up for it? In the end, that was just another nail in the coffin. It was a well played game by A&M. Much better than played by Bama. It pointed up our weakness on pass defense, and our weakness against no-huddle offenses. Something that might not be over for us. We will just have to wait and see.

[Bleez]

Two things regarding the end of the game.

WTF was McCaron thinking throwing into coverage...again?

Who jumps offsides on a punt?

Killers of mistakes...

[OLS]

The mistake that actually caused the GAME TO END and shut the door for good was a simple error that cannot
be said to have cost bama the game. No more than the fact that bama was charged with a foul for an illegal hit and
then the very same thing happens and A&M gets off scott free. I have said it here too many times to count,
you HAVE to win the game so convincingly that no error can cost you the game. Or else you do not "deserve to win."
bama fans here made it plain they felt they deserved to win, but that's FANDOM. That is not one of my usual comments
intended to rile fans. If you fail to win the game going away, you cannot fault a over-anxious kid for jumping into the
neutral zone. When bama lost to LSU in the regular season last year, it was not the kicker who lost the game.
It was the kicking game as a whole that failed the tide, as did the un-characteristic bad decision by Ol' Nicky to put his
kicker in an impossible spot. An irony is that les Miles turned around and gave it right back to Saban this time
around...yards longer than his kicker's career best...foolishness.

It seemed to me that the game was lost on conditioning. The kid Manziel is a freaking EEL. You can't win if you
can't breathe. Chasing him around for 60 minutes is almost impossible. OK, sure, LSU did it, but that's LSU, lol.
We are just awesomemer that other teams. Another possible reason bama lost is because Nick Saban does not respect
the no-huddle offense and has said as much. And it is obvious that he did not prepare his team to have to chase a
greased pig. I think it was a coaching let down after a tough victory against LSU. I said that nick saban won the game
for the tide last week and I think he lost the game to the Aggies.
