Thoughts - Week 15 (Championship!)

[Townhallsavoy]

- Fuck Florida State.  I flipped over the ESPN2 to catch the end of CFB Daily and then watch CFB final.  Kevin Carter and some other douches were going on about how Florida State just needs to get past Auburn and solidify themselves as all timers.

All timers?  Auburn will have something to say about that. 

I'm not buying Florida State as being some unstoppable juggernaut.  You know, like Alabama was the unstoppable juggernaut.

You want to talk unstoppable juggernaut?  Check out our running game. 

We've rushed as a team for under 200 yards once all season. 

We faced @Arkansas and put up 233.  We faced @Tennessee and put up 444. 

Then we were supposed to get beat by Georgia and Alabama.

Put up 323 against Georgia.  Put up 296 against Alabama. 

Then put up 500 against Missouri. 

Oh yeah, Alabama had the #1 rush defense in the SEC and Missouri had the #2 rush defense in the SEC.

And I'd take just about any rush defense over a good one from the ACC. 

That's an unstoppable juggernaut.  We get to Pasadena ready to run our offense?  It's going to be very, very difficult for Florida State to keep up. 

- I'm sure we'll explore Florida State's overrated schedule over the next few weeks.  They're a really good team, don't get me wrong.  But they just won their conference championship against Duke.  A Duke team that barely beat Troy.  That barely beat Wake Forest.  That barely beat North Carolina.

Their biggest wins were against Clemson (got man handled by a middle of the pack South Carolina team) and Miami Fl (way, way overrated for most of the year). 

Oh and the one game that was challenging for the Seminoles?   Boston College.  What was Boston College able to do?  Run the ball. 

- Lou Holtz needs to be placed in a nursing home.  He's done.  He's been arguing all night that the rankings should be 1. Florida State, 2. Alabama, 3. Auburn, 4. Michigan State.

His reason?  Alabama played well for 59 minutes and 59 seconds against Auburn and was tied with Auburn.  Since it was in Auburn, Alabama would win on a neutral field. 

That doesn't make any fucking sense, Lou!

- See you in Pasadena!  I mean, I'll see you.  I won't be there.  You'll be on TV.

[The Prowler]

Well, Holtz apparently didn't watch the Iron Bowl. Auburn missed some big opportunities or it could've gotten ugly early.

[Come Honor Face]

This is how I felt about Auburn this year.

[AUownsU]

Stat from the net: gumps, leghumps & Mizzou had the top 3 run defenses in the SEC. Auburn ran for 1200 yards against them. '95 Nebraska thinks Auburn's run game GOAT.

[Townhallsavoy]

'95 Nebraska thinks Auburn's run game GOAT.

I'm leaning that way.  We go to Pasadena and put up 400+ against Florida State, and I don't think there's any question.

Saw this as well on College Football Final. He is so insane I was laughing.

I told my gump friend-   "Well Holtz said bama should be playing for MNC.  So you have that.   The ramblings of an insane old man.  You should claim it."

The stats really are amazing. Before the SECC, Mizzou's run D ranked 14th in the nation. They fell to 48 after the SECC. Also seen somewhere that their run D went from 2nd to 9th in the SEC last night.

Holthzz is a pathetic excuse for a commentator, except for mental disorders  He used to be a good coach, sad, now he's an idiot. When he was going through his rant, Mark May was just rolling his eyes.
Course was a lousy coach, but I think he knows that now.  With ESPN he fills in well as being humorous and enjoying himself, lou tries to be funny.

I bet Tim Tebow replaces the old fart after his contract is up.

Great job on Thoughts this season Townhall its the highlight of my Sunday.

I think we should compile all the "Thoughts" of each week into one page.

Wait until after the championship if Auburn wins and Bama has beaten OU.  What are the odds he lobbies for a split championship?

[Snaggletiger]

I don't get it.  How did you understand him enough to know what he was lobbying for?

[Townhallsavoy]

No way.  Then everyone would know how wrong I've been. 

[Snaggletiger]

Heard one of the talking heads say Saturday night, "Auburn and FSU will be 70-69.  Michigan State and Stanford will be 6-3."  Could be troof. 

I agree FSU's schedule has been teh weakness, but you have to think their D is pretty good when their kicker has scored 147 points this year.  Their 13 opponents have scored 146 combined.

My thoughts are too deep and heavy for that.

I like our chances in a tight game, we have been in them the most of the year while most of their starters haven't seen the forth qtr.

He's no Lou Holtz though.
