"We still can go to the national championship," said Bama wide receiver Marquis Maze. "We're still a national championship team. I feel like we're still the best team in the country. Anything can happen."
"Yes, I think we're the best team in the country," he said. "I think if we played them (LSU) again we wouldn't lose.
And apparently brain damage is contagious:
"I think we definitely have a chance of seeing those guys again if we finish strong," said Bama wide receiver Darius Hanks, who added that the Crimson Tide were "definitely" superior to LSU.

Remember that shitty decision by Maze to not catch the punt that ended up rolling 75 yards?
After the game, Maze claimed the ball hit one of the wires suspended over the field that guides a moving CBS camera.
"It kinda messed me up, but it was better for us to get it back there than to try to field it and muff it," Maze said.
In such a case, the ball might have been declared dead.
"Nobody said anything about it," Maze said.
Oh no! Maybe a rematch is needed! Right?
An operator of the camera told the Daily Bama Blog that the ball didn't touch the wire.
P.J. Bennett of Action Cam, the operators of the CBS suspended camera, said the ball never made contact with the wire.
"We checked in the truck," said P.J. Bennett of Action Cam. "We looked at all different angles. It did not hit the line.
"As a matter of fact, we saw the shot through our camera. And through our lens, if it would have hit the line, it would have giggled the camera. Saw nothing. So there's no evidence."

If Auburn beats bama this year, I may have to get police protection to live in Eufaula.

Sadly I don't think you'll need it.

Well, I'm not betting an Auburn win but judging by the reactions of the bammer fan base, there would be death and destruction in the streets if it did happen. I am curious though to see the reaction from the one corndpg here at work. He'll pass through soon enough.

Just imagine if Arkansas beats LSU on Friday and Auburn beats Alabama on Saturday.
One can dream....

I think this is why I am happy LSU won instead of Alabama.
At work today? They're just as happy about the Saints beating Tampa Bay as they are about LSU winning this on Saturday. All of the water-cooler chatter I've heard is about a 50/50 split, most of which cover both topics.
This morning on the way in, the local talk radio guy posed the topic "Which makes you happier, the Saints win or the LSU win?" Every caller I heard said something along the lines of "I guess I realize the LSU win was bigger, but in terms of my personally feelings of happiness after the game, it has to be the Saints win." And the Saints were kicking Tampa's ass pretty much the whole game.
That's the difference, I guess. There's certainly a faction of cordog assholes that bleed purple & gold, but it doesn't seem to be the average citizen. At least not in New Orleans. Maybe upstate. If they would have lost, I doubt much would be spoken about it. Alabama fans, on the other hand, I'm sure are in a meltdown of devastation right about now.

That lasted about two hours or so.
According to my asset who is embedded with the Talibama, the devastation had turned to anger over being cheated and confidence/joy over the guaranteed rematch for the "real" national title by the time dawn broke in Tuscaloser.
It's like it never happened.

I didn't agree with it when they did it with UF & FSU and I don't agree with it now, assuming that you still have other unbeaten teams. That is one of the things that makes college football unique. You lose you don't play for the prize.

Jay Barker says this is the equivalent to Texas Tech beating Oklahoma. Just a freak thing. Alabama's still the better team.
-
I heard the OD early this morning when it first came on.
Alabama fans are crazy. That's the easiest way to put it.
Even Tony was going nuts at how ridiculous Jay and the Alabama callers were being.
One caller even said, "If you aren't 100% certain that Alabama is a much better team than LSU, you don't know anything about football."

Im a huge OK. State fan now. But you're right, they're convinced they're owed, and will get another shot. BCS gave them hope.

Observations. First, I wouldn't think many people outside the State's of Alabama & Louisiana would want to see a rematch. The overkill on the media hype of this game was absolutely off the charts and overblown. The game itself just wasn't that good..again, unless you are a fan of either team. I'm well aware that there have been some very poorly played Iron Bowls but as a fan of one of the teams, every play is always life or death. Same with this Saturday, too many penalties, too many turnovers, not enough offense...but I know every Tahd and Cajun fan held their breath on every play. Not the country though.
Second, why do I keep hearing that these two teams are clearly...clearly better than the rest of the country? Says who? Nothing has been proven and you simply can't say that either of these two would throttle Stanford, Okie State, Oklahoma or Boise for that matter. I have no doubt that it's all going to work itself out with the games remaining for all these teams. But, until it all does play out, I'm tired of hearing that it's two teams and then everyone else. Playoff, playoff, playoff.....

And of course I'm sure Del Greco isn't saying shit.

We had a bunch of people over watching THE BEST GAME EVER PLAYED. I said right before it started that the only thing that worried me about LSU is I'm still not convinced, despite a 13/1 pass interception ratio, that Lee wouldn't go full on tard. Seen it too many times against good teams. I know it's an IF that can be debated back and forth, but I think if Jefferson starts and plays the whole game, LSU controls the game. By control, I mean at least they score a time or two more. Still would be a tight game but I'd say LSU gets 13-17 points. He was solid in limited playing time. 6-10 67 yards and 11 rushes 43 yards. Not great but not bad in limited time against that defense.
