Alabama Crimson Tide @ LSU Tigers for all the marbles. You know the deal, you know what's at stake.
Enjoy the game.

I was going to make a thread. Looked and Viola!
Thanks Glenn. I was running late!
Blue... there is no other color to Bleed !!!
I was also.
We were watching OSU-OU in basketball. :-)

Already looking like another defensive stand off.
I think each team is playing a bit conservative, afraid of a turnover that could turn the tide of the game. :)

I am really torn but probably LSU
I think they have had the type of season that deserves to have a championship

Bama, only because I work with a very nice older gentleman that is all about Bama and the Rammer Jammer song.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be picking sides.

Basically the same here, but I feel the need to pick one to cheer for.

Hard to see many sustainable drives in this game.
Special teams and turnovers will be the key in my opinion.

Bama is using their TEs well
That will get them a few first downs, but not sure it is is going to net much on the scoreboard.

Yep, I keep thinking he will be a special teams specialist in the NFL
Bob Sanders was a similar build I believe and he was always hurt

Sanders was a kamikaze nut.
Claiborne is the better cover corner.

This is a great SEC football game.
Every yard given grudgingly, every play a war.
I love it.

Speaking of inches...
LSU has one of the most amazing stats I think I’ve ever heard. They have only given up 22 inches per punt return for the entire season. Don’t think I have ever heard of such a thing.

I think we are being hoodwinked.
The teams are off partying somewhere and we are being shown a replay of the first meeting.

LSU would be up a creek
Without Wing right now

If they had Tebow on the team
they could, get ready for it, be getting by on a wing and a prayer.

They are keying Trent big time.....
Bama will need to use play action off him more

That was a big stand for the LSU defense.
A touchdown there would have hurt

I don't undertand ...
… why Lacey is going in close to the goal in place of Trent Richardson.
Richardson is an incredible back.
But LSU’s defense is really stout.

My brother in law is a HUGE Bama fan (in all senses)
But he is in Las Vegas for the Miss America pageant. His wife is a dance coach for Miss Alabama.
He knows whats best.
Alabama's defense is #1 in the nation in 3rd defense....
LSU cant be in 3rd and long against that defense. Herbie was right
Slower Traffic Keep Right!
Three field goals in this game ...
… is like three touchdowns.

LSU is holding back.
They will bring in their secret weapon, Lee, to get the offense going in the 2nd half.

Saban and Kirby Smart have this defense in a zone
LSU just has no answers right now.

The AP voters picked Alabama 2nd in the final polls
I think they would give them the #1 spot

2nd Half and LSU shows it has a friend at the Colorado School of Mines too?
.. and we see the “jet sweep” or whatever they are calling it today!
YAWN
Six quarters of football 8 field goals made. What four missed/blocked?
Chip Kelly must be going crazy, thinking “Darn Kicker”.
Oh well, Thierry Henry returned to Arsenal today and scored the winning goal. Beautiful goal. For a few seconds, the years rolled back and the young Henry returned. Lackluster game other than that with Arsenal in complete control throughout and that game was more interesting than the first half of this game.

LSU has started slow before
One TD and this is a game again.

Does Miles consider going with Jaret Lee soon?

Mathieu is being neutralized
in part because Alabama has only punted once. We’ll see what happens here.

This is one of the best defensive performances for a defense in championship history
Slower Traffic Keep Right!
The 50 yard line is to LSU
like the goal line is to Bama
NEVER been a shutout in a BCS game. Wow what defense we are seeing.
Blue... there is no other color to Bleed !!!
TOUCHDOWN
Going to watch a few more minutes of Tora Tora Tora on the Military Channel and then off to bed. (I switched back just in time to see the TD. Man that would have been a bummer. OSU and OU is looking good too.)
What a boring game. Just like expected.

Loss Cost "Hatter" $5.7M
Not only was Les Miles out-schemed and out-coached the Bama beat down cost him $5.7M in contract bonuses over the next 6 years.

From what I have read
in the national press. This game alone will do more for a playoff system than anything to date. There will never be a championship game among two team from the same conference and there will be a playoff system next year. What a dull and uneventful game. TV ratings really sucked.
A playoff system should not preclude
a championship game between teams from the same conference, it should just make it a little harder and more justifiable should it happen.

Dang it!
Didn’t know you had a thread on for THE game. By the way, that was a fantastic game. Bama’s D was all world, thought I was looking at more of the NFL playoffs. ;-)
