Re: Bowl Games

Never in it? That's a bit harsh.
Not really harsh at all ... just the facts of the night. LSU had, what, 92 TOTAL YARDS of offense?!?!?! They just could not move the ball on the Bama defense. At 6-0 LSU was pretty much out of the game!

Roll Tide Roll!!

Started out as a repeat of November. But ending in a shut-out? Nobody saw that coming.

And what happened to the famed Honey Badger? Got sent back to school.......

Re: Bowl Games

They only crossed the 50 yard line once and got pushed back over it the next play. I would say that qualifies as never in it.

That's not true. Close, but not true. In the 4th quarter LSU got down to the Bama 32 yard line before fumbling on 4th and 18. I agree with your point of Bama dominating the game, but in college football, being at the other team's 32 and down by two scores with 6+ minutes to go is at the very least, having a chance and not "out of it". On 3rd down they were about 1 foot on a pass over the middle from being in the red zone. Teams have come back from more in the history of college football. After Bama got their first TD of the game and went up 21-0 late in the 4th quarter, then they were out of it.

You can't call someone "out of the game" when down by less than one score. That's one pass/run from losing.

This morning as I was walking in the gentleman who empties the trash in the parking deck pointed out that Arkansas did better against both of them.

Georgia Southern played better against Alabama than LSU did last night. Its another BCS fiasco.

Sasto, don't forget the seafood on ice........;)

I missed the game, due to some unforseen pleasure. Something I've been wanting to do in awhile. Spent the night in the swamp. Another story..:eek:.

Guess I didn't miss much, since I was rooting for LSU

It's all ready for ya' WIMUSKEY.......That's not seafood on ice, that's bait!:rolleyes:

Congradulations to you and all the Alabama fans.

Given the score at the time, yes, they were technically in it. But, it wasn't so much the score. It was the fact that LSU had one decent drive. Other than that, they couldn't move the ball. Alabama's offense was able to go up and down the field. Alabama dominated both sides of the ball. The score could have been much worse.

When I was surf fishing, we were using shrimp as "bait". More than once I thought, "nuts to this, I'm going to cook 'em"! I guess one man's bait is another man's dinner. :)

I'll be down on............. ahhhh, crap! I can't leave this time of year. My luck it will snow up here as soon as I stepped on the boat. Then my phone will be blowing up with a bunch of customers waiting to be plowed....... Nuts! I guess we'll just have to do the flag thing even tho you don't mind flying 'Bama's colors. You could always use this, it does have LSU colors...:D

Re: Bowl Games

Wasn't that Alabama's #1 receiver that got hurt?

Plus they lost their main return man with a pulled hammy. He looked very upset on the sidelines when he knew he was done for the night. Can't blame him. I believe they said it was going to be his last game at Alabama....

Re: Bowl Games

Yes that was Marquis Maze....Alabama`s #1 reciever and return man. You could see the emotion in his eyes as that was his last game for Bama...he is a Senior.
I am a Bama Fan and thought that Bama came to Play Ball !!! LSU looked like they had spent the night before the game down on Bourban Street and were hung over.

Now we will get to listen to how Bama never should have got to play for the Championship.

You are right they shouldn't have. OK State should have played. There were a lot of teams that could have beat LSU last night.

OK State barely lost the day after they found out their woman's basketball coach died in a plane crash and the whole university was in mourning.

Bama lost to what appears to be an overrated team with a really weak offense and horrible QB!

Its just an an overall bad system that needs to change. Need playoffs.
