Delicious Tears

[Kaos]

An hour after the game I was doing some decorating.  Lights -- as usual -- didn't work. Go to Lowes to get replacements.  Three bama fans standing around in the Christmas area commiserating. It goes like this:

1 - No question that was a touchdown. When they stole that one, they changed the game.  Had to play them and their damn refs, too. 
2 - How can you overturn that?  He had his hands on it the whole time.
3 - Shouldn't have mattered. We were the better team, but Saban choked just like he always does when we run into a team that is close to the same in talent.
2 - They weren't close in talent, we just had the worst gameplan I've ever seen.  We're way more talented, we just played scared.  I don't know why Saban always plays not to lose.
1 - You can't play eleven players and the refs they bought too. That's the talent difference right there. If that idiot Dillball called a better game we still would have run all over them. 
3 - Saban just didn't have them ready to play. 
2 - Why was he putting those linebackers in who weren't ready to play anyway?
1 - It could be because he knows we didn't have to win to make the playoffs. They can't keep us out. Get them some reps.
2 - Don't think it much matters who wins the SEC, we are definitely in. 

Fuck them all. 

And oh, Jalen Hurts is horrible.  The team is winning in spite of him, he's holding them back.  He should have been pulled in the third quarter.

I went into this game thinking he was better than Stidham. I came out realizing that Stidham is MUCH better.
He’s a strong guy, I’ll drink to that. But Stidham is the real QB not just a wildcat.

He spins it like Stan White and Jason Campbell, even better.

I have never seen some many cars in this area that all of a sudden have a spots where car flags once were attached.  Now if we can find a running back to help Saturday it will rid me of seeing the red Green Bay ones as well.

[Buzz Killington]

fuck them all. 

This^^^ All of it.

After the Saturday euphoria wore off, I’ve come to realize that one part of their bullshit is likely accurate.

If there is any way to get them in the playoff it will be found.  They already set the precedent last year letting Ohio State in when they didn’t make the conference title game and lost head up to the ones who did. 

As hard as Saban is begging, as much as the state and national media is focused on finding avenues for them?  It wouldn’t surprise me to see them leap over whoever wins the SEC-CG.

I think if we beat UGA, and Ohio State beats Wisky:

1) Oklahoma
2) Clemson
3) Auburn
4) Bama

Rematch vs Clemson, if we beat them, we get a rematch vs Bama.

That’s like the Death Star.

I can see it playing out either way:

1) Politicking on the part of $aban combined with their brand as "BEST IN THE UNIVERSE BAH GAWD" get them in; or
2) Bama-fatigue rears its head and the (legit) reason to leave them out is exercised.

[oldautiger]

The turds would have to go through either Okie or Clempson if they do get in.

[Snaggletiger]

My prediction is Bama will wind up #4 tomorrow night and sit back to see who they'll face in the playoffs. The one loss on their resume is on the road to the #6 ranked and hottest team in the country right now.  Easily enough to justify keeping them in the mix.

Over an undefeated big 10 (possible champion) team? And what if wisky wins? I know Minnesota ain't much over average but he blanked boy wonder Fleck on his own field. Badly. Beat Harbawwlll. Badly. And if he beats Meyer the same way? Sorry they should get the nod.

What most are already talking about is the possibility of oklahomas O versus the aub or clemson front 7. Whew boy.

[Buzz Killington]

They will sneak into the top 4 IF Ohio State and/or TCU win.

In that case, I am now a huge fan of both Wisconsin and Oklahoma.

Of the taking bobble head shows that I have seen, a lot them do not like the turds SOS.
