He didnt run up the score.

Running up the score would mean they were throwing the ball looking to score again, but thats not what happened. After the interception at about the two minute mark, they did nothing but run the ball (backup running back) and Texas just did a shitty job at tackling.

ABC showed Saban and Brown shaking hands after the game, so your wrong about that also.

[JimBeam]

Man I hate when I have to play catch up like this.

Uh... no... they're undefeated, and the AP can award it to whoever the fuck they want.

They could have crowned Utah last year if they chose to do so.

Well the AP who you had some much faith in not only didn't rank them 1st they ranked them 4th behind a 1 loss Texas and a 1 loss UF.

Because it makes sense.

Both of those 2 teams' losses were to the National Champ.

Boise St's only claim is " Hey were undefeated and beat a team from a BCS conference that lost 3 games ".

And we learned something from Utah smacking this same Bama team in the mouth last year.... and from Boise over Oklahoma in 2006... and Utah under Urban Meyer in 2004.

We learned that this is why they play the fucking games and why championships shouldn't be won by who gets the most votes.

I like how you left out the Cincy beating this year and the beating Hawaii took a few years ago.

Oh and that Utah win against a a Pitt team that had 3 losses going into the game ( including one to a Syracuse team that was 6-6 and one against a UConn team that was 8-4 ) showed a lot.

Utah's wins against Texas A&M and AZ that year might've been more revealing.

I also think that teams in the major conferences dont want to play teams like Boise and TCU because if they lose a early non-conference game, bye bye national championship.

I've posted previously that this argument makes no sense.

So USC would rather travel to Oh St and vice versa and Tennessee would rather go to California than to play a Boise St or a TCU at home ?

In the end a win against Boise St means nothing to those teams because a win against a BCS team means so much more.

There were reports from one of the mid-majors that they were getting turned down by BCS schools when they asked for a game that didn't require a home-home but when the AD was asked for team names he couldn't come up with any.

Yeah because USC, Oh St, Alabama and UF would be scared to see these schools at home.

... but how many more top teams does boise state have to knock off to be taken seriously by some people?

They lost to TCU last year so it's not like they are undefeated in bowl games.

boise is the SEC this year would have been a 2 loss team

2 loss ?

I doubt that.

They wouldn't have beaten LSU, Ark, UGA or Tenn.

I couldn't even say Vandy, Miss St or UK would be a given win.

[JimBeam]

I don't buy the " running up the score " argument.

There were 3 minutes left and Alabama was only up 24-21 after having been outscored 15-0 in the last 26 minutes.

Should they have sat on the ball and settled for only a FG ( which could've been blocked ) and then let Texas take the ball down the field and beat them 28-27 ?

That's ridiculous.

They ran the ball 3 times from the 3.

It's not like they threw a bomb 40 yards on 1st down.

Then with 1:48 left they ran the ball 3 times, once for 17 yards, and scored.

Listen if this game was still 24-6 and these things happened they could be called into question but this game was for the national championship and was between 2 undefeated teams so there shouldn't be any tears shed for a team that supposedly had the #1 rushing defense yet in 6 plays, with their season on the line, gave up 2 TDs in a matter of minutes.

[SP1!]

He did run up the score, hes up by 10, under 2 mins left in the game and a first down, any coach with even the slightest respect for other coaches would have taken a knee. What does saban do? Punch it in to rub it in, I bet he had money on the game.

Let me break it down for you, bama got the ball at 1:48, one run that took it down to under 1:40, now you have the 40 sec clock so you set the ball, clock starts and it runs down to a minute or less or UT calls their final TO, 1st down so you take a knee and they cant do anything, now we are down to under a minute, 2nd down another 40 secs gone, 3rd down and the final 20-30 secs run off. Game over.

Instead douchey boy has to punch it over for another score, hes a dick plain and simple.

Lets not act like it hasnt happened before, plenty of coaches take a knee in that instance, I have even witnessed it while watching, its the classy move but then saban has never been accused of having class.

But I was wrong about the shaking hands, but I was going off what I had heard since I turned to TV off after the dick scored again. If I was mack I would have punched him square in the nose.


There were 3 minutes left and Alabama was only up 24-21 after having been outscored 15-0 in the last 26 minutes.

Box score for you (http://espn.go.com/ncf/playbyplay?gameId=300070333&period=4), there was less than 1:40 left bama had the ball and all they had to do was take a knee, its a douche move but its saban so its kind of expected.

And take special not of the score, they were up by 10 already. All UT had to do to win was take the ball, if there were any time left, drive 90+ yards then recover an onside kick and drive another 50 yds for a TD or 30 for a game tying FG.

All with less than 30 secs left, yeah but he didnt run the score up, saban is just that big of a douche.

[JimBeam]

How many timeouts did UT have when Bama took over w/ 1:48 ?

I know they spent 1 on the previous drive where Bama scored.

I think it's perspective and if your team's coach did the exact same thing you'd find a way to rationalize it.

Urban Meyer took the foot off of the pedal somewhat in that game against Cincy and now it looks like the game was that " close ".

Anybody who watched that game knows the score is not indicative of how the game went.

And I agree that Saban is a douche but I don't fault him too much in this scenario.

I didn't see the plays but I doubt they were end arounds and trick plays.

National title game defense has to make plays.

[JimBeam]

Box score for you, there was less than 1:40 left bama had the ball and all they had to do was take a knee, its a douche move but its saban so its kind of expected.

So your problem is with the 2nd late TD ?

You have no problem w/ the 1st one ?

Must be because you're reffering to the one w/ 1:48 left and not the other one.

[SP1!]

So your problem is with the 2nd late TD ?

Must be because you're reffering to the one w/ 1:48 left and not the other one.

UT had one TO left so they could have stopped the clock once, still plenty of time for them to run it out after that first short run when it got down to under 1:20.

The first one just iced the game, that one is fine since there was close to 5 mins left and that much time a 3 point lead is never safe, but a 10 point lead and UT may have gotten the ball back with 20 secs? He ran it up to rub it in, fuck him.

[JimBeam]

I keep seeing the replays of the " hit " McCoy took and it doesn't look all that violent.

Easy for me to say watching @ home but I'm sure he's taken much harder hits all year.

I hope for him it's nothing that threatens his future.

I've pretty much rooted against him his entire career but I wish no harm on him.

Interesting to see how that game goes if he's still in there.

And that INT on the shovel pass is so on the RB.

[ozzie]

Well the AP who you had some much faith in not only didn't rank them 1st they ranked them 4th behind a 1 loss Texas and a 1 loss UF.


If you want to catch up, read the whole fucking thread. It was a fucking joke with Aggie on how to avoid either of these hated teams from being the undisputed national champ.

The fact IS that the AP does not have to crown the BCS champ. It's a fact. The end.

I never fucking said that it WOULD or SHOULD fucking happen... but it COULD.

Christ.

Oh for fuck's sake. Just stop it already. I knew last night that this is exactly where this same ol' lame ol' discussion would go.


This is usually the point that I just stop having these conversations with "college football fans" anymore.

The problem with talking to most "fans" anymore is that under this bullshit system, all these arguements are hypothetical, and they know it.

Most "college football fans" have no fears or reservations about spouting what they KNOW FOR FACT would happen... since they know that there's no way that anyone can DISPROVE their expert opinion. It's just an endless back and forth that goes nowhere.

Even though there are upsets EVERY FUCKING WEEK in college football... most casual fans still would rather rely on their own EXPERT OPINION of what they KNOW will happen in any hypothetical game... or if this team played in this conference... that the idea of ever actually playing it is absurd to them, since the outcome has already been decided in their own minds.

Seriously. You guys should be retired by now on all the millions you should have won in Vegas by predicting exactly what would happen in every game.

If you're that sure of what would happen if Boise had played Bama... then it should be easy to put some actual cash on the games that these teams actually play every week.

But somewhere in the back of your mind you remember that no matter how much you THINK you KNOW what WILL happen... that there's a reason why they actually play some of these games on a football field.

But somehow when it comes to discussions like this... that idea is forgotten.

Just a reminder... of the 34 bowl games we just got finished watching... 16 "underdogs" won their bowl game. That much IS a fact.

[JimBeam]

But that's people who work with gamblers deciding who the " underdog " is.

Not college football analysts.

If I could make money by just guessing who would win a game I'd have millions.
It's a pesky thing like a point spread that trips you up.

Just because an upset can happen doesnt mean deserving teams should be passed up so that a handful of people can feel that everybody got a fair shot like this is Little League and everybody should get an award.

When Boise St, Cincy and TCU were all undefeated what did you think seperated the 3 ?

Obviously the pollsters thought Cincy was better and UF showed how good they weren't.

I'm fairly certain, although we'd never know, that UF would've done the same to Boise St and TCU.

As would Oh St and Texas.

[SP1!]

Yeah I hope the kid is fine, it is nice to see a coach more concerned with a kids future instead of making sure they win, but the back up didnt do bad and barring two drops and that crappy play by the RB on the shovel the game would have been a texas win.

Bama didnt look that great so I dont know why bama fans are acting like they slaughtered them.

[JimBeam]

Yeah Mack Brown said that McCoy was trying to get back in if he could but that Brown didn't wanna take a chance.

You can't say that Alabama didn't dominate for a while there in the 1st hafl.

They were rushing the ball for clips of 8 yards at a time.

They were aided by the short field a few times but running the ball as well as they did when they couldn't pass shows that they were doing something right.

That O-line was so much better at pass blocking against UF.

I was surpised to see them give up the 4 sacks.

That was a pretty crazy stat thay they hadn't been called for holidng in something like 34 quarters.

I'm not sure if they got any in that game.

[SP1!]

There is a big reason why even boise and tcu dont want a playoff, they lose out on money if there is one since they only get a game or two payday instead of a payday of one huge game. They have just been whining to be included not for an actual playoff, thats why utah got orin hatch involved so they could be threatened with congressional action if they dont include them, now they are included so now hes quiet.

And my biggest bitch about a playoff is that teams in shit conferences will get in more easily over teams that could pull off the same winning percentage with their schedule, when your team is full of what would be called cupcakes if an SEC team were playing them then thats not really a fair assessment. BSU/Utah/TCU may be good teams but since they dont play a difficult schedule then its hard to say how they would hold up under a tough schedule like any other big conference would play, hell the big east plays harder teams in conference that they play.


It comes back down to strength of schedule which I think should weigh more heavily in the process.

As you all well now I'm a big fan/supporter of Tebow in college but this is silly :

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/320565-will-tebow-trade-orange-n-blue-for-black-n-gold

Why would Brian Billick, a Super Bowl winning coach, be jealous of Tebow ?

Actually if I remember the game Billick gave his honest assesment of Tebow and it made sense.

Could he learn to play QB wihile sitting behind a good QB for a few years ? Possibly but it's unlikely.

Using the argument of Aaron Rodgers makes no sense because Rodgers was a pro style QB coming out of college.

The Pete Carroll rumors are impacting recruiting already.

They had a kid on before the Army HS game that was the #1 recruit in the country and was going to USC ( was supposed to start school on Monday ) and now he's rethinking it.

It was kind of annoying because the kid said several times that he didn't wanna talk about it but the guy kept rephrasing the questions but asking the same thing.

espn mobile text alert just told me Texas Tech is hiring Tuberville as new head coach

[JimBeam]

Yeah when I saw that McKnight was bailing I knew something was probably up.

He's maybe be an NFL prospect now but would clearly be helped by another year in school.

I'm thinking Carroll knows they are gonna get some kinda probation and apparently what they are offering him in Seattle is something he can't pass up so it onky makes " sense ".

I personally don't think Carroll himself did anything wrong or was directly involved in anything, especially w/ Bush, but obviously it's on his watch so he has to take some blame.

Shame though because I liked him and his chances of succeeding in the NFL are slim.

With regards to Texas Tech I think that's a good hire for them and may end up being better than what they had.

I feel bad for the assistant that coached them in the bowl game because they gave him the impression that he had a shot at getting the job but we know once Tubberville mentioned he was interested that there was no way the interim guy was getting the gig.

Looks like it's all but final.

[Al Davis]

I want to start this out by saying you can all suck my fucking cock. My massive cock that was inside every goddam female cast member of Laugh-In. Even Ruth Fucking Buzzi. Jesus, was that some crazy pussy. I had to send Art Powell out to straighten out that bitch because she wouldn't leave me the fuck alone. But what can I say, when a bitch gets Big Al up in there, she's hooked for fucking life. Even a hot piece of ass like Ruth Buzzi.

What the fuck was I talking about? Oh yeah, that fuck Kiffin. I told you this son of a bitch was no fucking good. It's not only that he was totally wrong about that fat black kid I drafted to be quarterback -- what the fuck is that lardass' name anyway -- it's that I could just tell this guy was no fucking good. A fucking turd who'd fuck over anyone to get what the fuck he wants. A piece of shit.

You see now, you cocksucking fucks? When I had that press conference, you were all like "Oh, look at crazy ass old Al, he's totally senile." And, yeah, sure, I had a Depends full of shit on under my track suit, but I was fucking right about Kiffin. You see now, don't you, Tennessee? You'll find out, USC. This bastard is no fucking good.

Now get the fuck out of my office!

[CountryBob]

Everybody is so pissed down here at Lane Kiffin. The Vol nation is not used to coaches coming and going - and most are still upset at the replacement of Phil Fulmer last year. I am indeed worried about violations that will probably surface this coming year. What a class act - I am going to miss his hot wife though.

[ozzie]

The Vol nation is not used to coaches coming and going.

Yeah, not quite as bad as Bama being spurned by Franchione for Texas A&M, but I hate seeing SEC schools used as a stepping stone for another job.

I am going to miss his hot wife though.

Lane Kiffen's greatest achievement so far...

[JimBeam]

I've gotta admit I didn't think this would happen.

Firstly I didn't think USC would ask him and secondly I didn't think he'd leave Tenn.

The only thing I can guess is that he knew deep down he'd never be the man in the SEC, although is chances got better at least in the East w/ the Meyer abortion, and figures he can do better in the PAC10.

Regardless of what sactions USC ends up wth, if any, I don't see this guy doing what Carroll did.

He appears to be an abrasive douche which is exactly what Carroll was not.

[KnoxHarrington]

What really strikes me as strange about this Kiffin move is that it doesn't really seem like a major step up. That is, it's not like he took a job at some Conference USA school for a year, and the USC gig came calling. I don't put USC at that much higher a tier, reputation wise, than Tennessee. They're both in big conferences, both of them allow you to recruit nationally, and both give you a real chance at contending for a national championship on a regular basis. Pay wise, USC might be able to do a little better as a private institution, but they probably can't do that much better than Tennessee can.

And, besides, if you win at a school like Tennessee, you are a god to those hayseeds forever. Shit, the people of Alabama probably confuse Jesus and Bear Bryant.

[JimBeam]

But I think if he goes to USC his only real recruiting peers are Notre Dame, UCLA and maybe a few other PAC10 schools.

There are maybe a few national recruits for which he'd have to fight other big schools for but for the most part he can focus on beating out a small portion of competitors.

That's not the case in Tennessee.

There he has to fight w/ the whole SEC for local recruits and has to fight w/ all the big boys for national recruits.

The fact that he took the job means that he has a feeling, I'd hope, that USC's pending punishment will be minor.

Somebody at work just said but I haven't confirmed that Norm Chow went back to USC w/ him ?

Is this true ?

Last I heard is that Chow's agent is still denying he's going back to USC.

[JimBeam]

I thought Chow was still in the NFL.

Why would he leave UCLA, not facing any restrictions as far as we know, and working for a good coach, Neuheisel, to go to USC, probably facing restrictions and being coached by a guy that doesn't have any real experience ?

I like that Sarkisian decided to stay @ Washington.

[razorboy]

I don't really get it either. From all accounts, Chow never really got along very well with Kiffin, Carroll or even Sarkisian for that matter.

[KnoxHarrington]

Here's what I'd say to Tennessee fans going apeshit crazy about Kiffin leaving them: maybe, just maybe, this isn't such a bad thing. You get rid of a douche who probably would have fucked you anyway as soon as a "better" job came along, and you might be able to get that coach who'll stay there long term and really build something.

It's like some chick you were banging for a while suddenly dumps you, and you're pissed off, because you thought she was pretty hot. Then you realize she was insane, and her leaving allows you to find someone much better for you. Think of Lane Kiffin as your program's time with crazy pussy, Vols fans. Now go find someone right for you.

As far as Fulmer goes that doesn't make any sense from any side.

If you're tenn why would you go after a guy that you fired less than 2 years ago because he wasn't getting it done in recruiting or on the field ?

Do you think he's gotten better while he was away from the game ?

And if you're Fulmer, unless you really need the job and/or money, why would you go back to a place that discarded you so easily ?

That move would be silly and would keep Tenn out of major title contending picture for some time.

You gotta think he'll land on his feet. He's not really tied into the Leach mess, and he was impressive in their bowl game.

Shit, he might be coach of USC in a few weeks. They'll hire anyone.

[JimBeam]

What's funny is we heard what a great coach Leach was yet he's not even getting a sniff @ any of these open gigs.

Maybe that'd change after this legal mess is over but I just don't think he's as great a head coach as people might think.

[Snoogans]

apparently mushcamp turned down a tenn offer

[JimBeam]

I guess he wants to wait out Mack Brown.

But who knows how long that guys' gonna stay.

He could easily stay there 5 more years at a minimum if he wanted.

He's only @ around 215 wins so you'd think he wants to get up into the elite total.

[ozzie]

I'm surprised Muschamp would turn down any HC position in the SEC.

At least with Jimbo's deal at FSU, there was a set deadline, and a "buy out" agreement if he didn't get the HC job by that date.

With Mack Brown's contract extension, I find it hard to believe that Muschamp will continue to wait indefinitely.

Norm Chow tells USC to suck it.

"I appreciate the interest from USC and Lane Kiffin, but I feel we are building something special here at UCLA, and I am excited about our future," Chow said. "We have some outstanding young players in the program, and we're working hard on finishing strong in recruiting."

And, not to mention, a coach that seems able to actually hold down a job.
