On the subject of BVG...

Boooooooooooo!

DocSkraynj - January 9, 2012 via iPhone app reply

I guess I'm the only one

who will be rooting for Bama just a little bit. While in general I do like LSU better, the mischievous part of me really wants to see all the whining and complaining and confusion if Bama wins. I don’t care that much either way, and I have nothing against LSU beyond the usual dislike for any other SEC team. But I’m not a big fan of the BCS system, and anything that undermines it is fine in my book.

Please, God

let LSU smite down the philistine Saban and his horde of 120 oversigned Crimson Tide.

so the 119 of LSU will slay the 120 of Bama?

So take the lesser of two Evils??

The oversigning of both schools is a legit complaint.

But LSU and Les Miles doesnt stir up my desire to want to punch something like Bama and Saban. It would be great if everyone in the SEC got fully on board against oversigning except Bama and then Saban could be rode out of town by the media hate.

Agreed on all points.

Hmmmmm the BCS MNCG

or Blazing Saddles on AMC? Decisions, Decisions, Decisions

GEAUX TIGERS…stop the smug from taking over the country

We don't need no stinking badgers. (honey or otherwise)

NCT - January 9, 2012 reply

Ah a Weird Al fan I see...lol

I'm glad the SEC is garunteed another MNC...

But if i’m honest i’d rather see LSU wax OkSt. over the coals. Bama played them already and lost. Are they the unquestioned #2 team in the nation? No doubt, but i would think this game would have more excitement around it if OkSt. was playing in it.

...

You can't spell "Argue Get Six"...

… without “Geaux Tigers!”

Geax Tigers

Saban & Smart come and raid Georgia recruits more. Better to take them down a peg. Plus, King Corndog is more likeable.

Re: Boykin

It’s nice to see awards take postseason performances into account. I really think his Outback Bowl performance sealed it for him.

The984 - January 9, 2012 reply

ESPN has had Urban and Saban and now they got Gene. Can they do anything to make me hate them less?

I hear they're going to run a special in a few minutes...

… about how the Army is the best branch of the military.

/Programming custom-designed for you… to hate

It be more interesting than a Saban interview. Does that man even have a pulse?

Makes me long for

the days of the World’s Strongest Man competition with all those German and Scandinavian guys you’d never hear except on the WWL

Magnus Von Mangusson.

damn you

lol. What can I say, I agree with fotodog. ESPN was good until they got full of themselves.

I miss coming home drunk from dt Athens

and watching Aussie Rules Football with the guys under the goalposts in shades and Panama Jack hats.

Magnus!

Hope we get JJ

The dude is a monster.

Dawgs013 - January 9, 2012 reply

All I have to say is that if Boykin

isn’t taken in the first round, the collective heads of the NFL are idiots.

for absolutely selfish reasons, I hope he falls all the way to the Falcons in the 2nd round

Do we have a 2nd round pick?

elfcrash - January 9, 2012 reply

Yeah.

No 1st. No 4th.

DocSkraynj - January 9, 2012 via iPhone app reply

His size could be a factor for the NFL. The tall, 210lb WRs will have a big advantage.

Don’t get me wrong, I consider his last game perhaps the best total game I have ever watched, but the NFL is still the NFL.

"They said I could never play in the NFL..."

That was payback for the Bobo comment I take it. Touche.

COME ON MAN!

You just had to go there, didn’t you?

come on woman (or lady is better).

My apologies.

Come on lady!

I suppose we have had enough crummy orange and blue news today.

I would prefer she be addressed as ma'am...

… just out of manners and gentlemanliness.

“Come on, ma’am!”

Yea, that too.

That also has the best ring to it.

Unless she's in Congress

but then she’d be too dumb to realize it’s a respectful term. And here prose indicates an intelligence far too high for Congress.

I gradulate the Gatah.

Don’t take no jive!

T Kyle King - January 9, 2012 reply

Good point,...

but I was referring to Barbara Boxer.

When working in retail, I found that nothing ingratiated myself more to women than using ma'am or miss

“Miss” worked especially well on women likely 5-10 years older than myself but not so readily observable. Made them feel younger.

The984 - January 9, 2012 reply

True, but even as a special teams guy that

speed and skill is uncanny. He looks like he could be the next Devin Hester. And Brent Grimes is the same size as Boykin, and he does alright.

He is one fast dude and not an ounce of fat on him. The key will be finding ways to use him.

I just learned Boykin was born after I graduated High School. That seriously makes me feel old.

I also like how whenever they start a segment on Alabama, banjo music plays.

I am Nick Saban, I have no inflection in my voice. My face and voice are both monotone.

I am talking about my parents and you can’t tell I am filled with emotion but I am. I look like a piece of wood and sound like one too.

I watched "Westworld" earlier today,

and he would fit in well as one of their robots.

That is interesting as Michael Crichton directed that movie.

And he is my favorite author. Now I kinda wonder, why would you be watching that old film today? That’s not your everyday kinda pick.

My family got it on sale at Amazon

as part of a Christmas deal, so we got around to watching it today. Maybe we were preparing ourselves for Saban.

Nothing really going on yet

I assume they are going to break down recruiting across the board for a while, then switch to Jenkins’ announcement close to the end of the hour.

They just had a segment on QBs but I wasnt really paying attention because UGA isn't

in the hunt for a QB right now and Bauta was not going to be mentioned.

O-line now

singing Theus’ praises. Video shows him finishing his blocks and playing until the whistle.

Nice Marshall piece too

it won't be til later in the show

gotta drag it out to keep viewers.

anyone got a stream or radio or something for fox sports south?

Dawgs013 - January 9, 2012 reply

I've got it in the dorm...

Still on commentary.

My guess...

It will run around 7:45-7:50 to hold viewers for the full hour

bastards

this

If it is $3k a ticket to go to the BCS Championship, I wont ever be attending one. I dont care if it is UGA vs UGA with Herschel playing. That's insane.

But can you imagine Herschel trying to run against that Junkyard Dawg defense anchored by Terry Hoage??

It would be awesome.

I wish Herschel could use his fourth year of eligibility. That would fix that RB attitude problem. And you wouldnt have to write an infamous post about his physical fitness.

Where's your sense of dedication?

Some are willing to pay two hundred grand for a championship, so what’s a paltry three grand?

It’s almost enough for me to not want LSU to win….but not quite.

RocketDawg - January 9, 2012 reply

I think I want LSU to win, but #7 to have a really bad game.

I hope LSU's punter

taunts Saban as he streaks down the sideline for a score.

If he just tackled Saban that would be awesome.

Then he could say he simply didn't see Saban and tripped over him.

So this show is the new version of...

Newberg’s old Countdown to Signing Day?

I am basically on the blog just waiting for news because I cant get FSS

Just did a piece on Shaq Roland

Ditto

Although i will be watching the MNC as well.

You stickin around for the reamatch Tankertoad?

Yea, but I will try and not comment about Coach Bobo.

How hard will you try?

Because, you know, you could just run an ineffective play before taking a knee and missing a field goal and claim you tried.

You have no idea how upset I am about that. It has seriously altered my entire perception of Coach Richt.

I'm with you on that one.

Everything he did to rebuild confidence with the ten game streak was flushed down the toilet. It totally contradicted the Energy Bus, Finish the Drill, and the Georgia Way motivational themes he has used. Not to mention, it came back full circle to the attitude that resulted in kicking a field goal on 4th and short in the Liberty Bowl. You can’t expect your players to give 100% when you half-ass trying to win a game.

Does the fact that he went for it on fourth and short in the Outback Bowl . . .

. . . alter your position in any way?

I’m not calling you out; I’m genuinely asking.

T Kyle King - January 9, 2012 reply

Good question.

I may have come across as saying I’m anti-Richt because of that one series. My position is simply that Richt is contradictory. Actually, that he chose to go for it early in the game further suggests that he’s inconsistent with the playing to win attitude.

I can’t wrap my mind around how the team I watched on Monday was the team that converted several 4th downs for TD’s against Florida and found countless creative avenues to move the ball on South Carolina (even though we still lost).

It’s as if Richt and company want to make the transition into the killer instinct but are unable to let go of their super-conservative tendencies.

We never seem prepared and on page for big games.

Not for 4 quarters, at least. Sometimes we look like we might be, but quickly prove otherwise.

As long as those comments

are ~~derogatory~~ true and spot on, I am sure no-one would mind

I'll flip back in 10 minutes, and they'll tease it one last time

A watched pot never boils...

** – right after we show you how much the ACC sucks. And then interview Tommy Bowden.

Clemson is missing him.

How come the MNC isnt being billed as the game of the hour of the week of the year of the decade this round?

Because that would mean that the original matchup was not the game of the century.

They could never admit to being wrong about such a thing.

Game of the Century, IMO

good one

Beautiful.

I don’t know that Clemson would agree with the “Wonderful” bit, though.

Tommy Bowden:

Blah blah blah (pictures of him in clemson attire show on screen) blah blah blah WHEN AH WUZ AT CLIMPSON blah blah blah…

Tick tock

its almost time

you'd think, wouldn't you?

Is it too early to start the Kirby Smart to ATL DC meme?

Followed by BVG to Bama the next week

I could live with that

At least it would screw over Auburn in the process

It's more plausible than CMR to PSU.

Great, this is everybody's freakin' narrative now:

- They said I couldn’t play football in seventh grade.
- They said I wouldn’t be a success in high school.

I’m sure they’re now claiming that nobody think’s he’ll be a successful college athlete

Don't forget about the NFL.

Oh yeah. He's just not NFL material.

At this rate

by the time he commits he’ll only have 1 year of eligibility left…

Jordan Jenkins will announce what school he will attend.

COMING UP NEXT GUYS (and gals)

JORDAN JENKINS IS NEXT**

** – After only 3 more commercial breaks!!

Well, he has 10 minutes left on the the show.

Holtz and Mays both picked Alabama to win.

I'm sure Bama finds that very reassuring.

Holtz is senile

Here's to what is hopefully Saban's first loss of the night!

"My family didn't really feel safe with me going to Alabama"

Best line ever.

WOOOOOO JORDAN JENKINS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!

Really? lolz.

Yeah, he said that when they asked him why not Bama, since he was a Bama lean originally.

Exactly what he said.

Reiterated that his mother was not comfortable with him going to Alabama.

MaconDawg - January 9, 2012 reply

I'm glad to hear those words.

I’ve suspected that parents of recruits might not feel that comfortable with Saban and how little he cares about the individual. He’s all about winning, but don’t expect a coach who is concerned with your kid’s well being.

He made a point to say how he could talk with Richt (as opposed to Saban)

This kid sounds solid as heck, too.

Let the floodgates open. I’m stunned.

DAWGS WIN!

and if you google Dawgs Win, that is the first pic…lol. Thanks Vineyarddawg. )

Totally stunned!

Grantham is not only a helluva DC

I really liked it when Jan 1st meant something.

I'm with you

In a perfect world, all bowl games are concluded on Jan 1…and perhaps the BCSNCG is the following Saturday. Of course, they don’t want to conflict with NFL playoffs.

Agreed!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Big games all day long. The “good Old Days!”

Multiple people have tweeted that there are more people outside the Superdome than in it. (And the Superdome is full.)

That’s just hilarious.

Is it wrong of me that I cringe when ESPN promo's one of our basketball games?

Especially against Florida?

no, it is learned behavior

No, its not wrong. We are going to get a beat down on national tv. And the AJC will say its because of Mark Richt.

Rec'd for finally understanding the wisdom that is Schultz.

If Mark Richt would have signed more power forwards, the UGA basketball team wouldn't be so soft down low

/AJC’d

It is Mark Richt's fault

because he kept KCP until Jan.1st. and did not allow him to practice with the basketball team.

I blame our 4-6 minute offensive droughts every 2nd half on Bobo

I think Auburn scored 35 points last night.

Now that is sad.“AUBURN SUX I LIKE MY TRUCK!”

There's a very real chance

that this is the last Lee Corso Head Gear Pick we’ll ever see. The poor man is just not doing so well.

Of course, most of us said that last year, too.

‘Course, he didn’t blatantly curse on-air last year, either.

that is still hilarious to me

I missed this. Was it the national championship?

Nah...

it was Houston vs. SMU earlier this season.

Oh, ok. The "last year" bit threw me off since I'm still mentally in 2011.

Why on earth is is so damned impossible to get a decent singer for the national anthem?

As Vineyarddawg and I have said over and over, the service academies all have great choir groups and it would look very classy. I am sure the Superbowl has someone really special lined up this year.

What the correct man said ^^^^

Can we petition "the correct man" to be Tank's new nickname?

The operative word there is "classy."

Was that man even singing in English?

Tell me something...

are there actually rules in Australian Rules Football? Can’t seem to figure it out.

The only rule...

… is that you can’t actually throw the ball. You have to bounce it or pass it by doing this little punch-like thing every few yards.

But other than that… no. There are no rules. Just kill the guy with the ball.

Damn, you know if a Georgia defender had swatted the ball out of Jefferson's hands like that Bama guy did...

… we’d have been penalized 100,000 yards.

And banned for the postseason.

mdhenshaw - January 9, 2012 via Android app reply

and the first 4 games of next year

/AJ Green’d

4 games for selling a jersey. 4 games. Jefferson was in a bar fight and busted curfews and no telling what else.

Just as long as he wasn't paid to get into a bar fight. That would just be unacceptable.

Gonna be interesting to see

if the Bama offense stays focused with McElwain leaving after the game for Colorado State. CMR coached FSU in the title game after taking the UGA gig and scored 3 points.

Yeah

I heard it snap from here.

Bama is really working the edge of illegal formation.

PWB

Here we go again

3 points woooooo!

Reauxl Tide Reauxl.

Maze will be a huge loss

he ain’t returning.

nope.

So, since the last game ended 9-6...

… does this now mean that the score is tied?

Actually, LSU was given a handicap.

They’re considered 3 points better and therefore started out with -3 points. It just doesn’t show up on the scoreboard because they can’t project negative signs. Bama is in fact up by 6 points.

These 5 minute plus TV timeouts are the single most annoying thing about this game and the superbowl.

at least the super bowl has new commercials... nothing exciting about these tv timeouts

Well, LSU just got their first first down with about 4:30 remaining in the first quarter.

Conclusive proof that Georgia’s defense is better than Alabama’s.

You can't stop

Jefferson.

Apparently, counting 50 per cent of your performance against LSU for the season is a perfectly valid way of claiming a share of the national title!

T Kyle King - January 10, 2012 reply

Bama looks a lot more mentally prepared today.

Honestly, it seems this game has been less hyped than the first match up.

Unless they're in the red zone

I could've gone all night

without hearing a Tebow reference.

We will be very, very old men before the tebow reference's stop.

Or Ray Lewis could snap his femur

Saban told 'Bama's trainer

to shoot up Maze with 2 qts. of cortisone, 3 pints of lidocane, 1/2 gallon of 10W/30 and duct taped his buns.

Seems reasonable.

play through pain, son.

Otherwise Maze

would have ~~been encouraged~~ suddenly decided to seek to complete his education at another institution.

The thought ran through my mind

that surely Bama can replace him with some other star WR they oversigned.

(cue Herschel Walker's "pain is sometimes in your head" Sugar Bowl recap.)

The honey badger didnt.

It's amazing

what a little offensive line blocking will do for you.

That was a heck of a catch though.

indeed.

Wow Smelley was open.

It's because he's smelley.

Every time I see a wheel route

I want to cry. I don’t think we tried that play using anyone since South Carolina.

Every time I see a wheel route I think about how many games we failed to defend it.

Man, I tried to visit the EDSBS in-game thread...

… but I don’t like it when I look away for 30 seconds and miss more than 60 comments.

I think the spot was generous

or criminal, if'n you're an LSU fan.

At least it gives us an opportunity for another commercial break.

The orange roof on Howard Johnson's outhouse

I'm going to bed at the half.

The Jordan Jenkins news was all the good news I need tonight to sleep like a big ol’ baby. Plus, I’m in the middle of a really good book.

If you say you're reading the "Storm of Ice and Fire" books...

… I’m going to give you an internet high-five.

Correction... "A Song of Ice and Fire" books.

I’m currently reading Storm of Swords… hence the slip.

Actually, a history treatment

called “Neptune’s Inferno.” It’s about the U.S. Navy at Guadalcanal. Really good stuff.

I read the first 3 books years ago, then their was that big pause and supposedly the next couple werent as good.

Well, I'm on the 3rd book now...

… so I’ll let you know. :-)

Upon further in-depth, detailed internet research*...

* – Or in other words, according to the Wikipedia page

… the author originally intended the series to be just a trilogy. That’s a sure-fire sign that books 4-n are just a money-grab.

Yep. And I was done. Too much to keep up with.

like the first one

Dang it!

I go to make myself ONE DRINK, and when I come back, Alabama has doubled its point total!!

Oh well, I guess the game is over now.

Don't think we should count LSU out when they are only down 6 eat the half.

FTFY:

Punt return ~~for a TD~~that was not actually a TD.

Exactly.

More like “100-yard punt return for a touchback.”

herbstreit bashing UGA as much as he can without actually saying it

I expected some of that.

DocSkraynj - January 9, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Will they try to score before the half, or play conservatively?

Wow, they did both.

If I go to bed

and wake up to a 7-6 LSU victory, I won’t bitch.

Passing game still working

and Bama keeps doing it.

Fools! They should be burning the clock with a lead like this!

DocSkraynj - January 9, 2012 via iPhone app reply

MUST MAINTAIN BALANCE

(runs Nick Saban up the middle)

And he would probably be quickly put off balance.

Who's bigger, Saban or Carlton Thomas?

Why don't they run up the middle 3 times in a row

I have no doubt we would.

I don't know.

I guess Bama just doesn’t know how to win ballgames.

Nick is just running up the score now.

Holgo the Barbarian

had better watch out lest Saban show him up.

That SEC commercial PWNs

Bama's commercial is classier than I would have expected.

So glad ours improved this year too. It was just embarrassing before.

MidnightFrost1701 - January 9, 2012 via iPhone app reply

And LSU's is kind of tacky.

MidnightFrost1701 - January 9, 2012 via iPhone app reply

I think all I have watched is a commercial. They really have ruined football.

a craptacular halftime gimmick strikes again.

LSU has a decent halftime show – so I hear. So, we get commercials and a kicking game.

He must have practiced w/Blair Walsh.

(Too soon?)

MidnightFrost1701 - January 9, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Nope. Not too soon.

I did put forth a formal warning on blair walsh jokes.

FWIW -

Named to UGA’s Team of the Decade.
Set NCAA record with at least one FG in 44 games.
*Ranks second in UGA & SEC history with 404 points scored.
*School record holder for career PATs with 181.
*School record holder for consecutive PATs made as he made the first 119 of his career.

Wait, really?

Or was that a joke? Anyway, I don’t dispute that he used to be phenomenal. But this is the SEC—we only care what they’ve done for us lately.

/kinda joking

MidnightFrost1701 - January 9, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Yea, because the jokes were sick and about to spiral out of control. I dont think a little comment is too much.

So what you're saying is...

“Blair Walsh can’t kick” joke: Probably ok

“Blair Walsh should off himself” joke: Not so much.

Makes sense to me.

something like that. )

Ah.

Fair enough. I don’t hate him or anything, and I hope he gets his groove back in the NFL. But I don’t consider him immune from criticism either.

MidnightFrost1701 - January 9, 2012 via iPhone app reply

And the halftime that would never end marches on into its second hour

15 more minutes of commercials, then the 2nd half kickoff

then another timeout before the game starts again

I have a short list of things I would immediately change in Div 1 football. And TV timeouts are number 1.

Also is the extended halftime for big games.

NFL has halftime figured out: 12 mins

Bama throwing downfield...

Fools! After the run for nothing they decided to… Throw it some more.

DocSkraynj - January 9, 2012 via iPhone app reply

I don't get it

Why wouldn’t they just run it 2 more times and punt?

Amateurs.

seriously, they should be trying to run out the clock

they do have a pretty commanding lead

Bama trying to steal our "Field Goal U" mantra

No, they actually try and get yardage before kicking it.

touche!

Ozam - January 9, 2012 reply

T Kyle's weep button

would come in handy here.

Malcolm Mitchell would've made that catch

Not that Bobo would’ve thrown it to him.

LSU looks like they tried to put in an entirely new offense before this game

It's difficult to wear a team down...

when they oversign as many players as your team.

mdhenshaw - January 9, 2012 via Android app reply

I thought a fair catch

was supposed to be signaled by raising a hand above the shoulders, not below them.

Bama rules in effect, ma'am.

Buh-may-to, Buh-mah-to….

that really was a good sandwich

Bama

Are you questioning Brent and Kirk? They said it was obvious.

mdhenshaw - January 9, 2012 via Android app reply

I listen, then always take it for granted that they're wrong.

You and your rules.

I thought a fair catch

Was signaled by signing 30+ players to scholarships, then booting 5-10 of them to make room for even more. Bama’s got all their bases covered.

That's the catch and release program

Throwing downfield...

This is infuriating to watch for all the wrong reasons.

I want to punch Bobo in the face.

DocSkraynj - January 9, 2012 via iPhone app reply

That's how you know we have offensive problems.

Watching a 12-0 game in the third quarter and being angry our coordinator isn’t as good as theirs.

This is the saddest, most absolutely true thing I've ever heard.

DocSkraynj - January 9, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Bama's OC is hired away. We couldnt give Bobo away to a HS.

I think I get even angrier than I would otherwise every time I hear the name Bobo.

Don’t think I would be nearly as frustrated if his name was Mike ~~Adams~~ ~~Smith~~ Something or other. The annunciation of Bo-bo is is approapriately ridiculous over the airwaves. Its simply infuriating.

I'm putting Jarrett Lee in the game if I'm Les Miles

If I were really in Les Miles' shoes...

… I’d put Zach Mettenberger in the game.

/Oconee County what?

Great minds... etc. etc.

Lets see some Mett

Paint some bosoms and buttocks on the receivers and watch him go to town.

That's so wrong.

And even more hilarious.

MidnightFrost1701 - January 9, 2012 via iPhone app reply

I don't see how much longer he can stick with Jefferson.

midgeorgiadawg - January 9, 2012 reply

Those cowards won't punt to Tyrann Mathieu

Real football teams punt to him. And after he returns one for a TD, they do it again to show they ain’t scared.

I see what you did there. )

The Georgia coaching staff don't care

No, seriously… they don’t give a s***

no really, they dont care

they don't

well, y'all were spot on about jefferson - that was insanely insane

Wow. Jefferson jumped up to point at his teammate and blame him for that crap.

This is what happens when you let a guy who gets into barfights lead your offense.

Maybe he tried to claim he was just throwing shovel passes in the bar.

The rumor was he stomped a guy on the floor who was already out.

Maybe he was just practicing sliding for a loss.

Bwahahahahaha!

Jefferson’s gonna Jefferson.

Mane. Aggie hate Bama purp.

Dammit Ware...

Thats what synthetic pot will do to ya. Gotta stick to the organic stuff.

Ouch

Tough to watch…

mdhenshaw - January 9, 2012 via Android app reply

Bama fans are gonna be insufferable

In other words, just your average offseason.

This is why I don't care.

We either have to listen to them whine or listen to them gloat. You can’t really pick your poison, even. Either one is as bad as the other.

There's truth in your words, one way or the other, they dont shut up.

Yep. And LSU did all this work for this.

To be fair...

making them beat Alabama twice isn’t right. Even if they lose, they will have earned more claim to the title than Bama.

That's my take all along. They took care of business during the year. They shouldnt be penalized for it.

It seems to me

that the refs seem to think it’s Bama that should not be penalized.

LSU is getting a dose of PWG,

something I would not wish upon my worst enemies. Ok, maybe Florida, Auburn, or Tech. But nobody else.

Absolutely correct.

The right thing to do would have been giving them the title after the SEC championship. At that point, through those first 13 games, no other team in the country had near the resume that LSU had. You can take any team in the country and hypothetically say they beat LSU, then compare [hypothetical team]‘s record vs LSU’s record, and LSU still is the most impressive.

I don't really understand the frustration w/the rematch.

There are plenty of rematches in the NFL postseason, and no one cares. If the goal of the NCG is to pit the 2 best teams in the country at the end of the regular season, then this makes perfect sense to me. We no longer care which of these 2 teams was better weeks ago. What matters is who’s better now. And, incidentally, it appears that may have changed.

MidnightFrost1701 - January 9, 2012 via iPhone app reply

True

But if the goal is to pit the two best teams against one another in the NCG (and what happened weeks ago doesn’t matter), Georgia and USC would’ve played in 2007. Not saying I think that should have happened, but my point is, the criteria for playing in the NCG are whatever they decide they are that year.

True dat.

Which is why I’m in favor of a playoff—give the Okie States, the UGAs AND the Bamas their “chance” at the end of the season.

MidnightFrost1701 - January 9, 2012 via iPhone app reply

If that was the way it worked then FSU

Would be our 1996 NC.

hbtd - January 9, 2012 via mobile reply

Or Arizona State. The forgotten team of 96.

mdhenshaw - January 9, 2012 via Android app reply

You are right

I forgot.

hbtd - January 9, 2012 via mobile reply

I have no memory of this "forgotten team" you speak of.

The Patriots and the Packers agree.

mdhenshaw - January 9, 2012 via Android app reply

I don't like comparing college football and NFL,

but point noted.

Got to give him credit for the tackle.

hbtd - January 9, 2012 via mobile reply

Is Bobo calling LSU's plays?

midgeorgiadawg - January 9, 2012 reply

Alright

Two more runs up the middle… come on Bama

LSU should have centered the ball on 2nd down, then kicked on 3rd

Now all LSU has to do is keep Bama outside the 30

The Bama fans they keep showing have eyes set a little close together

Stereotypes really do exist for a reason.

JESUS H. CHRIST...

… that Bama guy just knocked an LSU lineman in the head long after the play was over… and no flag?

I swear if Georgia were playing in this game we’d have at least 5 15-yard penalties that bama doesn’t have.

Ok, this game's over.

I’m going to ~~bed~~ raeg and read my book for a while.

Night everybody.

Is it too much to ask for ONE GAME

in which the refs have not clearly chosen a team to be immune to penalties?

This field goal fest is turning into the slowest, most miserable defeat ever.

The death of a thousand kicks.

Death by a thousand ( or 5) cuts

hbtd - January 9, 2012 via mobile reply

can't believe they are sticking w Jefferson... and they still won't throw it downfield

Has LSU assumed the role of the SEC East representative

under the assumption that if the SEC East had a team in the game, that it might be Georgia?

If so, their imitation of us is startlingly accurate.

No idea why LSU hasn't been using their power running game.

That’s what got them here, after all.

DocSkraynj - January 9, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Electric cars...

I wonder where all that electricity comes from?

mdhenshaw - January 9, 2012 via Android app reply

If LSU hadn't oversigned so much, their defense would be exhausted and giving up point after point.

Interesting to see this LSU team with no confidence or swagger though.

That’s what happens when the offense produces nothing despite a great defensive performance.

Eventually… you just can’t stay in the game. Unless there’s a game-changing play, I think Bama will drive down and get a TD soon.

DocSkraynj - January 9, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Bama has done a lot of the little things as well.

Not kicking it to Mattieu, good downfield kickoff coverage, working field position.

But isn't that usually the key to success?

hbtd - January 9, 2012 via mobile reply

Called it.

No way their D gives up that run early in the game.

DocSkraynj - January 9, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Didn't have a favorite when the game started.

But I am enjoying what I see.

hbtd - January 9, 2012 via mobile reply

Bama with their starters on all special teams for this one

can’t blame them though… They can’t be tired with the ball control their offense has maintained plus a TV timeout every minute

I'm officially sick of the Honey Badger

“Fear the Tide, Honey Badger!”

Nothing can help a meme jump the shark like an elderly sportscaster. Thanks Brent.

get to hear honey badger all year next year as well.

I've yelled "shut up, dude" at my TV more times than I normally would.

And Brent is to blame. Dude needs to shut up.

Herbstreit isn’t much better.

DocSkraynj - January 9, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Ok, seriously, what is LSU doing? They need to motivate. They are running out of daylight.

Paul "Captain Jowls" Johnson: 0 for 4 in bowl games

Ditch the option, Leslie!

No penalties called on Bama?!?!

I didn’t think they’d been that obvious about it.

I hate Bama. I really do.

But Saban got his team prepared. That’s all there is to it.

Yea Brent, there hasnt been one penalty called against Bama because they just arent calling stuff.

Come on man!

They’re just a bunch of highly disciplined choirboys.

And that's what happens when you leave Jefferson in.

I am not sure what Les is doing. Waited till 3rd and long to throw deep. They needed TDs fast.

first deep pass for LSU

and it was almost a TD.

DocSkraynj - January 9, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Will Saban leave Bama now?

Depends

How can 15-0 be a "mauling?"

hbtd - January 9, 2012 via mobile reply

"a mauling" it has been deemed...

Does anyone know of a place I can go to ensure I won’t hear from Bama fans?

Library/Bookstore?

dental office?

Hahaha. Rec for both of you for making me chuckle heartily.

looks like

bama is doing for 60 min what we could only do for 25.

memphisdawg - January 9, 2012 via Android app reply

Wasn't it 4 th down?

hbtd - January 9, 2012 via mobile reply

Over.

Ballgame

Not that it wasn’t already

Bama didn't play anybody

LSU is obviously down this year

/Narrative’d

Can LSU just knee out followed by Bama kneeing out? And Shelley misses the PAT.

heck with jarrett lee

it’s mettenberger time.

memphisdawg - January 9, 2012 via Android app reply

Why not at this point?

DocSkraynj - January 9, 2012 via iPhone app reply

So does that make the score 27 - 9?

hbtd - January 9, 2012 via mobile reply

Les Miles is on the hotseat PAAAWWWWUHL!

the funny thing is there will be LSU people saying Saban should be fired for sticking with Jefferson

Wonder if LSU will part with their horrible offensive staff for this.

Hell, they can hire Bobo if they want to.

DocSkraynj - January 9, 2012 via iPhone app reply

4 million whistles and Bama keeps trying to strip and no flag.

Well, I'm not watching the rest of this.

Gonna mute the TV and watch the replay of the UA All American game to watch Keith Marshall and Jordan Jenkins again.

Perfectionist... Asshole

Buh-may-to Buh-ma-to

LSU is on the full suck. Wing with a 27 yarder.

If our O-line was as good as Bama's O-line. . . . .

hbtd - January 9, 2012 via mobile reply

When you oversign and greyshirt like they do it helps.

True, but time makes all the difference.

hbtd - January 9, 2012 via mobile reply

Brent just corrected himself in sentence.

if you're the Boise OC choosing between Bama and Florida

how could you not pick Bama after the way McCarron has played today

Night guys

I will sleep soundly in the knowledge that ours is not the only coaching staff unable to adequately prepare for their bowl game.
