Why Didn't Iron Bowl Struggle Drop Alabama?

Brando? I thought he was in the tank for Ole Miss.

No...he's just tanked.

At no point did Bama "take over" the game, despite Spencer Tillman's smirklingly snide "Alabama, dey's gonna wake up and dey gon' win dis heah game bys double digits" comment at the half. 

phuk you Spencer.  phuk you Tony.  phuk you LSU homer hairpiece phuk who's name escapes me now. 

That was Barnhardt wasnt it who said that?

Nah, I dont think they took the game over either. I think they just woke and made some adjustments about the same time we were wearing out. They provided themselves a chance at the end and capitalized. They did enough and it wasnt pretty at that. Thats all.

Brando is the guy you are looking for. Yeah, he is the guy who challenged an Auburn fan to a fight on the air on Finebaum one day. Hes a real classy homer for LSU.

For one, it doesn't matter this year.  No voter is analyzing the games from November 26/27/28.  In 2004, you had three legit contenders from major BCS conferences competing for a spot.  The voters and media WANTED Oklahoma/USC.  They found their official opportunity to make it happen. 

This year, they could have boosted Bama to 1st, Texas to 2nd and dropped Florida to 3rd and it wouldn't matter.  Texas will beat Nebraska.  Florida/Bama winner will meet them in Pasadena.

While I agree 100% with the slowing down this year...was I the only one that noticed the sheer speed at which the refs all of a sudden showed in spotting the ball and starting the clock on that last ditch drive?  I swear I saw the umpire outrun McCalebb.

I noticed. That was about the time my chewed up fingers started to bleed.

Fuck you Spencer.  Fuck you Tony.  Fuck you LSU homer hairpiece fuck who's name escapes me now. 

I could kiss you for that.

Why would they have dropped?  Who do you jump in front of them?  TX beat a 6-6 A&M club and also gave up over 500 yds.  TCU pounded a 1-11 NM St team.  Not any surprise, but did that win really warrant a 2 spot jump in the polls when bama beat a 7-5 SEC squad? Does Cincy deserve that kind jump for beating a 3-8 Illinois team?  As bad as I hate to say it, they should have stayed where they are.   I hope UF hangs 50 on the phukers and they drop below TX, Cincy, TCU and Boise St.
