ND/Bama game tonight

[Aikouka]

I'm going to go with no:

Two problems with your "evidence":

1) Tuscaloosa is the fifth largest city in Alabama, and it only contains 2% (city) or 5% (metro) of the state's population.
2) People going to UA may not actually be from Alabama and probably not counted accurately in said infographic.

Why is Lou Holtz still televised? Are they trying to pull off another New Years rockin' eve with Dick Clark?

And on that note Lee Corso is annoying and childish. He makes me want to not watch college football, anyone who is a fan of his needs to get checked into a mental institution.

The only good thing about the game was AJ's g/f's pic.

She got rather dissed after the game by her QB boyfriend. He was all into celebrating with his family/friends and totally ignoring her. She had to poke him to get his attention for a brief kiss before he returned to talking with his family. The mother doesn't like her all too much either as she crowded her out from the clan celebration with her back to her.

Regardless.....I humbly forthwith submit more pictures of this goldigger's hotness...

 

[Aikouka]

I've been informed that she's an Auburn graduate, which might explain the mother's distaste. You wouldn't believe how crazy people can be down here about college rivalries!

Indeed. She graduated in May of 2011:

That adds such an interesting dynamic to that "relationship". I mean, she's mega-hot, and I'm insanely jealous of McCarron for hooking up with her, but there is no WAY an Alabama family could ever let an Auburn grad in.

 

[SunnyD]

In case nobody was paying attention, Ms. Webb happens to be Miss Alabama.

She happens to therefore contain a disproportionate amount of hotness.

edit: Poulsonator just barely beat me to it.

Only moronic zealous fanbois wouldn't date her b/c of the school she went to. Typical southern "football runs my life" mentality. These CTE brain damage lawsuits can't be filed fast enough to eradicate this cult of zombies.

If it's not football, it's something else. Politics, perhaps? There's gonna be moronic zealous fanbois for lots of things, unfortunately.

Yep. The "muffed" punt call looked bad at full speed, but technically it was right according to the rule. The only one I've seen that I might disagree with is the "bobbled" catch on third down back during ND's first drive, which at this point is fairly moot given how ND's playing overall.

Actually there is no rule in college about giving any sort of buffer, but the rule is you can't interfere with the catch. The Alabama returner didn't call for a fair catch until the last second and the Notre Dame player didn't touch him. In fact in college football if your own player is blocking into you and you muff the punt, it isn't a penalty. It was a bad call and an incorrect call.

In addition the catch was also a bad call. If you come down in bounds with clear possession then you simply have to not lose possession during the follow through, the player came down with clear control and possession and never lost possession, therefore it counts as a catch.

I watched exactly 4 minutes of this game, the first 4. After those two egregiously bad and 100% incorrect calls, I stopped watching as I won't watch a game that the refs have already decided that Bama was going to win. College football has officially lost me for the remainder of the BCS era at least.

You may be right. It'll probably just move to the next most popular sport, such as Basketball, baseball, or soccer.

It's Alabama. The state is not well renowned for its critical thinking and solid decision making skills.

Oh dude... you don't understand the hate around here between Auburn and Alabama. Okay, let me rephrase that - you don't understand the hate here that Auburn has for Alabama.

'Bama fans are mostly indifferent, and unless it's the Iron Bowl, will root for the team from the state of Alabama. If it's the Iron Bowl (Bama vs. Auburn) then it's obviously rooting for 'Bama.

Auburn fans, on the other hand, are a fucked up bunch. They wish harm and ill will upon the Tide each and every game. Auburn publicly wants the Tide to lose against any and all opponents the Tide plays. I understand they're both SEC teams, and Auburn historically has been thrashed by Alabama, but still it's just - yeah. Auburn are a bunch of freaking zealots. Some 'Bama fans go a bit overboard too. So this could definitely cause "strife" in a typical Alabama family.

The refs could have spotted ND 2 touchdowns and 'Bama would still have crushed them. ND had no chance of winning last night.

 

[lupi]

ND had a bad game last night, a lot of the analyst thought it would be close or a ND win.

None of which changes that you're out to lunch on your theory for tv contracts.

Clearly they lost and got blown out. I wonder if Notre Dame had kept it close how many more bad calls would there have been. I like fair games, the refs guaranteed in the first minutes that this wouldn't be a fair game, so I stopped watching. And I wonder if the calls affected the play of Notre Dame. When it's clear the refs are playing for the other team, it kinda hurts your morale.

 

[slag]

Still sticking with this comment ? I'm not a betting man buuuuuut ....

I haven't looked at the news..

Did ND pull out a win??

Ah shucks. Oh well, at least they played (kind of).

 

[HardcoreRobot]

so ready for the playoffs to keep junk teams like that out of the championship game

Thank you for your rigorous deconstruction of my serious online argument.

 

[Genx87]

Bama is in the SEC, which has won the last 7 NCGs. I didn't like last year's scenario, either, but it ain't like it was 2 big 10 teams.

Huh? You said to play in a NCG you have to at least play in your conference championship game. Bama didnt do that last year. Under your scenario Bama wouldnt have been national champions last year due to be ineligible to play for it.

 

[etrigan420]

I would think that the "muddied genetic waters" in a typical Alabama family would cause more strife than any interstate rivalry...


I can't even "zing" that...too easy...:biggrin:

Why do people always say this? ND didn't have a bad game. Alabama is just a much better team and proved it last night.

Bullshit.

ND has been shit for 2 decades. They'll continue to be shit and will never win another championship. Eventually, that will lose them their ridiculous contract.

 

[Atomic Playboy]

Why do people always say this? ND didn't have a bad game. Alabama is just a much better team and proved it last night.

ND had a truly atrocious first quarter. If you include the first play of the second quarter, ND was outgained tenfold in yardage and down 21-0 after one quarter, having made exactly one first down and never even sniffing Alabama territory. They could have had the best game of their season after that and not recovered. As it was, their defense improved marginally, holding Bama to just one more touchdown at the end of the second, and they were able to move the ball, but they didn't actually put points on the board until late in the third and trailing by 35. So, yeah, I'd say they still had a bad game.

No they won't. When ND is good, people watch their games hoping they will lose. When they are bad, people watch their games enjoying them lose.

ND was completely outmatched last night like most people thought they were. They are possibly the worst team to make the BCSCG. This Bama team isn't nearly as good as their team last year, the cards fell right for them two years in a row, and they took advantage. The schedule sets them up for another run next year, too.
