Alabama vs Notre Dame

[Mikey]

So are Terry, Killian, Logan (welcome, stranger) and I the only posters who will be interested in this MNC game? Are there Domers I'm forgetting?

Jesus. I guess y'alls' dream game of Oregon-KSU or Oregon-ND or Oregon-Alabama crashing destroyed any interest in this great confrontation of two traditional powers...one having been back at the top for several years and one newly arrived.

You got the popgun Oregon offense a couple years ago. You saw how they performed in the big game. Fancy (garish) unis and running backs on meth don't make for a good game. Real solid football will always come out on top.

The game is a month away.

Sam, I know your back is fucked up and all, but you really need to get a life.

The more you talk about Oregon, the dumber you sound.

There's a not-so-fine line between "scoreboard" and "stupid"... see if you can find it.


Oregon lost on a freakish play and a FG with 0:00 on the clock, dumbass.

How did Bama do aginst Auburn (who you claim had a shitty defense, and played "popgun" offense) that season?

Brain... THEN keyboard.

[M Club]

Would it be too much to ask for M2 to stop posting until Cal gets good? All of the current posters would be dead and a new generation of messageboard posters could deal with his idiotic bullshit. I know, I know...it ain't gonna happen (M2 leaving OR Cal getting good) but I though it was a nice thought to begin the weekend.

I'm probably the only guy here who roots for Cal now because of toolio.

[King Crimson]

i love it when dinsdale makes excuses for losses (and it happens almost every time). at least the refs didn't give it to the other team on the onside kick that the real OU recovered easily?
no?

[Mace]

Winners don't use or need excuses...only losers.

[Loganfan]

I'm kinda liking the 10 point spread......

[Van]

:barf:

What's wrong? Barkley throw another pick?

[OUMO]

I am taking Bama.

[Goober McTuber]

I am taking Bama.

So is Notre Dame. Straight to the woodshed.

[Terry in Crapchester]

Considering that we're about to join the ACC, perhaps we belong on the cousins side of that divide.

I think you're joining a conference that may cease to exist before too long.

That wouldn't break my heart at all. Although I suppose we'd then have to find another home for our other sports . . .

[Van]

Does it still taste like pennies?

[Mikey]

Does it still taste like pennies?

Have you ever tasted one?

Oh...you said pennies.

[Carson]

Just remember: Florida was a two touchdown favorite with only one loss.

...and they beat A&M at College Station.

[Killian]

ND has no shot.

[King Crimson]

some vintage overconfidence from Bama fan in this here thread....maybe so...but this IS a bama team that lost at home. team that lost at home is beatable. i know, great tautology KC...

i return to my OU 2000 comparison. 2nd year coach, leads a rag tag OU team to defeat one loss FSU juggernaut with great D.

[King Crimson]

Does it still taste like pennies?

Have you ever tasted one?

Oh...you said pennies.

i thought was pretty good.

[Killian]

Of course you do. Notre Dame has no shot. Hell, Alabam would probably beat an NFL team.

[Killian]

And they blew out OU and you lost a game. But, as is the case with "SEC! SEC! SEC!", a close loss is better than a close win.

It's good to know that only one team is allowed to get better as the year goes on.

Of course ND will be lucky to stay within 2 scores of the mighty, mighty SEC.

You also probably didn't see Johnny Manziel beating you, either. But he did.

[Killian]

I was impressed when Bama beat Georgia. After watching Georgia struggle with a very mediocre Nebraska team, I ain't quite as impressed.

[M Club]

I won't be shocked if they do...it could happen.

Jeebus, you're your own breed of SECBSH: the H stands for hedging. "I doubt a bird doodie is going to fall on my head, but I won't be shocked ifeedo...it could happen."

All things equal, I'll take Bama by 40. But I won't be shocked if they only win by 10...it could happen.

[Killian]

Of course they will. ND is lucky to share the same field as mighty Alabama.

[M Club]

I always reserve the right to worry about turnovers, injuries, etc.

Haha, basically: We're going to skull fuck you...as long as half the team doesn't come down with dysentery. And white pants to boot.

[M Club]

Of course they will. ND is lucky to share the same field as mighty Alabama.

Do you even think ND's going to win?

[Killian]

Yes, I do.

[Van]

ND sure as hell wasn't very impressive against a dispirited, Barkley-less bunch of already-threw-in-the-towel Trojans, nor were they particularly impressive in a decent number of their other games. Still, all they're tasked with is winning the game, not a beauty contest. This, they've managed to accomplish every time.

Bama? They haven't really played too many tough teams. Basically, it was LSU, who were not that particularly great this year. Then there was A&M at home, and they lost. Finally there was Georgia at a semi-neutral site, and they nearly lost that one too. I suppose one could try to make the case that the Michigan win was big, but I don't think too many people would buy it.

Obviously the way to beat Bama is through the air, preferably with the spread. Simply lining up and trying to pound them into submission usually won't be worth the effort. So, can ND open the field and give their QB time to throw? If so, yeah, they can and probably will pull this one off. If this one turns into a primitive slugfest, I dunno. In that case, probably only the Luck of the Irish would prevent a Bama victory.

My pick was Bama 27, ND 13. Eh...may as well stick with it.

[The Seer]

Not sure when I'll get back in here, so...

So, you'd have the same # of posts in here if you were Burgess Meredith on the steps...

I'm going to save the "act like you've been here before" speech since I haven't...but still.....

I suppose we should all be grateful that they're going to play the game and not just annoint Bammy the MNC...maybe they should turn it into a PPV since we are not really "worthy" of watching such perfection football as the sec...at least not for free.....

Regardless of the outcome of this game, I'd still like Organ's chances against the winner.

P.S.

[M Club]

Do you even think ND's going to win?

Yes, I do.

Oh, you must have been talking about the bball game against Cincy. Congrats there.

[Terry in Crapchester]

So to all of us: . . . don't drink too much (whatever that means),

Anytime Brent Musberger is calling the game, there's always a temptation to play the Brent Musberger Drinking Game.

But then I re-read the rules and realize I'd probably die if I ever did (Goober and MClub can save their responses to this -- I ain't reading them).

[Goober McTuber]

Anytime Brent Musberger is calling the game, there's always a temptation to hit the mute button.

FTFY.

That too, although my initial post was a response to Sam's admonition not to drink too much.

[FrothExposure]

Alabama is now the Jeff Gordon or Jimmie Johnson of college football. Thank you Alabama , for ruining college football for the rest of the country. And as for Nick Saban, a certain circle of hell awaits you!

[Felix]

not to say I told you so, but I told you so

Notre Dame is the worst undefeated team I've ever seen....but props to the domers and good luck, you're going to need it.....

they simply weren't ready for the speed and strength of bama....hell, I could have run through the holes the bama offensive line was giving the RB's

McCarron is a pretty good QB

[WolverineSteve]

Last one, I promise.


Word is that in South Bend they are already referring to Alabama's coach as 'Father Saban'.

They figure anyone who abuses a bunch of Roman Catholic boys that bad must be a priest.



Apologies to Killian, Terry, Lax, and Logan. As if anyone cares at this point.

[Mikey]

I thought Te'o was LDS.

[FLW Buckeye]

I thought Te'o was LDS.

He's for whatever will give him a real gf.

[FrothExposure]

Everything Nick Saban believes in certainly dies.

[FrothExposure]

Nick Saban is made of people.
