Are all our Alabama brethren present and accounted for? An Alabama loss is typically good for a "life altering/ending" incident or two. Godspeed GBs!

I just checked al.com, no murders related to Alabama football reported in the past 24 hours.

There's hope for humanity yet

Oh, and IN before the "we all have crazy fans in our fanbases". While true, there are varying levels of crazy and the state of Alabama seems to have a hold on one of the more special kinds. Hope that crazy lady on Finebaum's show doesn't kill herself on air today.

I wonder if that old hag is gonna call into finebaum?

AJ McCarrons girlfriend dumped him before he got back to Tuscaloosa.

What a nightmare game. A&M had the blueprint on beating Bama. Auburn perfected it, and Oklahoma used it to completely overload a defense that looked too big and slow.

There will be a lot of people in Alabama that will begin the discussion of whether Saban's defense is not built for the offenses that are faced in today's game.

But the truth of the matter is that Bama can't rush the passer and has average cornerbacks. A combination that will get you killed.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Big 12 has to be taking the biggest hit going into next year. Assuming OU gets trucked tonight....

I love when you do this.

Didn't watch the Sugar Bowl, so I'm asking out of ignorance here:

Any evidence that some Bama players may have been mailing it in because it wasn't the title game? That was the mantra after the Saban's Tide lost the 2009 Sugar Bowl to sorely out-manned Utah (by 14 points as well).

First game after losing a chance to go undefeated trips up a lot of teams, both late in regular season and bowl season too.

hahaha....I've watched their channel a little bit. It's pure heaven compared to the crap our "news" media rolls out. They have some pretty good print editorial pieces as well.

So they moved the kickoff up to try to get more touch-backs to prevent the big collisions on kickoff returns. That moved the coverage 5 yards closer. It seems teams are intentionally kicking it short, and I have seen more returns not get to the 20.

Bring a touch-back out to the 20 instead of the 25? I think that would make sense.

If cfb wants more touchbacks and less of these big collisions they just need to make a rule that a kickoff through the uprights is worth 1 point. As it is now, there is absolutely no reason for the kickers to kick it into the end zone. Higher and shorter kickoffs get the ball inside the 5 or just into the end zone and returners always bring it out most of the time getting stopped before the 25.

They were a 17 point dog. Sue me.

Goes to pattern, counselor.

Ou unranked after this asskicking? They have nothing.

That was vs Texas Tech, OU won that game.

She definitely kind of turned me on.

The moment when she goes off the top rope and then starts stomping her feet like a 3-year-old (on the OU kid's shoulders and back) was LOL funny. I also like when she did the end run on the guy with her to get back over there and start mixing it up.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

UT would be crazy if they didn't hire Art Briles, right?

He would be high on the list.

He's built Baylor from the ground up and he's not exactly a spring chicken, I'd be shocked if he left Waco.

Damn, I would love to hear the audio on that.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Not shocking.

Vad Lee to transfer

Kind of disappointed because he has a lot of talent but he's not a fit for Paul Johnson's mess. If only we had a coach who designed a scheme around his talent instead of forcing talent into his brilliant scheme. Dare to dream.

I think this really hurts CPJ - not so much talent-wise as Lee isn't a huge loss but PR-wise. Can't be good when your starting QB says he's leaving because of the system the coach insists on using. Maybe if he was having results like year 1 but he's squeaking out bowl appearances.

Doesn't GT have a tough academic acceptance requirements?

Pretty sure athletes get in with much lower scores and grades than the rest.

Of course but there are still two things working against Tech. One is every kid has to pass through admissions and they still have tougher standards than the minimum required at many schools. Second is the number of majors we have to offer is tiny compared to most schools and we don't have cake majors laying around to hide kins in.

A very high percentage of them seem to be Management majors.

Is your point that all schools have the same entrance requirements? Because you're usually way smarter than this.

We'd also get to find out how Wisconsin and Ohio State like playing games in Madison or Columbus in January.

True. As a donor to both who would benefit though they need to take care of their own business first. Ohio State has nobody to blame this year but themselves. Nobody from the SEC lost that game in Indianapolis for them. But Delaney from the Big 10 was the one conference commissioner championing the semis being at campus sites. I suspect his reasoning for this was like Homer's but I agree with him for other reasons. First I agree that the higher seed should get home field advantage as a reward. But these semi's are going to be a joke on selling the seats out. If you could have semifinals at neutral sites and make money the NFL would have done it a long time ago. There is a reason only the Super Bowl is a neutral site game. The college folks and the bowls are going to learn this the hard way.

I'm guessing that this is why the Pac-12 Championship is at the better conference record school. :thumbsup:

Man I was drunk for the pages below during the OSU/MSU game, pretty funny to read through though

Promised to vacate the thread until the B1G's season was done, kept my word...

I can definitely say I am sorry about MSU, they are the real deal and could play with anyone in the country, I couldn't have been more wrong about them... I think Tim is the only person arguing against that. As for the rest of the conference, I mean I think we can all agree they were just flat out bad this year... Some excerpts from the conversation below:

Big 10 game getting ugly now

Nobody outside of Ohio wanted them anywhere near a NCG.

Would've been the worst BCS Title Game ever!

The SEC is arguably better, but the B1G is easily the 2nd best conference in CFB, at worst, IMO.

You gotta be ####ting me.

yeah, god forbid the Big 10 have real teams playing for the title, like Missouri or Duke.

Another at South Carolina running the table.

Leaders Division? SC couldn't run that division?

MOP killing my Molly buzz.

MOP could ruin a turkey sandwich.

If OSU loses, they can get matched up in a competitive game with Duke.

I just watched Mike Munchak be mentioned as a Penn State coaching candidate at the EXACT SAME TIME I saw Chris Mortenson report on Twitter that he's been fired.

I just watched the circle of coaching life flash right before my eyes.

Paul Kuharsky (Titans reporter, Nashville radio) thinks MM would be a very good recruiter for Penn State. I'm just glad he's gone from TEN.

Huh. I'd just read that Munchak was going to get a 4th season in Tennessee. I've been updated via message board. Spooky.

No idea. I think Wisenhunt is getting the Detroit job, but Cleveland seems possible. I'm not sure they would be willing to pay him more than he makes now though, but maybe he will finally give the pros a shot.

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

Stoops isn't leaving to Cleveland, he may use the rumors to up his pay. But, he isn't leaving.

Since you are pretty much wrong about everything, this post worries me.

I guess you did this since you want Stoops gone? Well played.

He will never leave one of the best coaching jobs available, to go to cellar dweller team. He is a "GOD" again in Oklahoma. Everyone is happy, and the future is looking really bright. Everyone is crapping rainbows and unicorns in Norman.
