Yes they did look good. The Wolverines looked like they were playing their first game of the season and Bama looked like they were in a bowl game. One team prepared (and way better) and one team still in practice mode. Good thing we are in the Big 10 and don't have to deal with Bama again. :)

That's cool. $100 or the "Quirky King item" your choice. The Irish are BACK!!!!!! So season ending rankings are the measure, right? And if ND can finish in the top 4 I win. Yes? If so, we are on!!! $100 sheckles!!!

We'll see. In the time frame you mention (2009-2011), Alabama/LSU are 2-2. Don't expect to waltz into Tiger Stadium Saturday night (11/3) and cake-walk. We are very, very good this year. Better than the team that beat y'all in Tuscaloosa last year. It should be fun.

Not hitting you Rube or even most comments here...just the national attitude against us. Yes I get it, we were the media darlings in 09, '11 not so much. Now with everyone sick of the SEC dominating College football, we are hated cause it looks like we are gonna win again. Sadly, unless you are a Bama fan, we will probably be better next year. So I guess the hate will grow. I have no prob with that, as I said before, your really hated when you are great and dominate. For us Bama fans, every win is a treat. For the nation, it is just a growing snowball:sweat_002:

Well I'm a UM fan (Michigan) and I was shocked to see their ranking at the beginning of the year.

Well, the Fighting Irish took care of business today to go to 11-0!!!!

However, both Oregon and KSU seem to have their hands full in the 3rd Qtr!!!!

'Bama won as well!!! Interesting season so far!!! USC is next!!!

The Irish beat Stanford, by the skin of our defense, so what does that mean?

There's gonna be a new "No. 2" in town folks!!!!!

'Bama? who are they? LOL My moment in the sun, Garrell!!! Could all fall apart next Saturday!!!

Notre Dame moves up!!!!

Actually, I'm pretty sure you will, but when it comes to the Irish I get a little excited (?) to say the least!! LOL Let me enjoy it for a while and I will be dutifully sportsmanlike when and if the time comes just as you have been. I bet the Irish defense can hold the 'Bama offense pretty well. Say under 20? Will be fun to watch!!! I haven't enjoyed this much college football in a long, long time!!!

Vandy crushes ACC pretender Wake Forest by 34.

Georgia dominates ACC chokers Georgia Tech by 32.

Florida pounds cupcake-scheduling way over-ranked Florida State by 11.

Oh, and Clemson? What happened to those 45 points per game once it goes up against a SEC defense? A 27-17 loss to South Carolina, that's what happens.

It doesn't matter who plays against the SEC in the BCS championship game. Either Georgia or Alabama will cruise. Notre Dame? Not a chance.

I graduated at Auburn and lived there with most of my friends being Auburn fans...I now have lived in Indy for 7 years and have heard nothing of ND til this season...really? We even made noise during the Mike Shula years(which suxxed so bad), I even have a crimson and white Hawaiian shirt that was his:) Even in DC last year to see SK, the Bama game that weekend was beyond important to me, ask Randal Flagg, we watched the game in a bar in downtown DC.

I dunno; that second game of the season is going to be a tough one, assuming Manziel plays. But you just know Saban has been working on that game for eight months, so I don't think it's a guaranteed loss by any means.

Beyond that, who can say? I imagine we'll be pretty solid, but it's going to be a long season; anything can happen.

Alabama hosts LSU tomorrow night.

Defense: Edge to Alabama. Both teams lost a lot in the draft. But LSU losing 8 starters has hurt them this year. LSU's defense is not the top-5 shut-down unit of the past few years. 'Bama should be able to score.

Offense. Edge to LSU.
--Quarterback: LSU has the better quarterback in Mettenberger. More TDs, more yards passing, higher QB rating than McCarron. If all you know about him is what you saw last year, you have not seen the revelation of the light bulb finally clicking "on." He has had one bad half all year (the first half of the Ole Miss game--there, he was last year's Mettenberger). The rest of the time he's been lights out. He's not mobile and there are concerns on the O-Line, so if 'Bama can bring pressure they have a chance.

--Running back: LSU is 4 deep with any of the 4 easily starting on any D-1 team. LSU should be able to pound out some yards on the ground.

--Receivers: Major edge to LSU. Beckham and Landry are easily first rounders. You will see some catches that will make you think "Megatron."

Special teams: Mixed bag. LSU's field goal kicker is very good. Punter is average. Both Beckham and Landry can return kicks and every time they do they could house it. But LSU gives up chunks of yards on kick returns. I don't know enough about 'Bama's special teams to comment.

Coaching: Big edge to Alabama. Saban is obviously the cream of the crop. Miles doesn't know how to protect a late lead or manage the stress of a 2-minute do-or-die drill.

Home field advantage. What advantage? LSU has won 6 of the last 8 in Tuscaloosa. Plus, they are playing at night. Whoever at Alabama allowed that to happen ought to be fired. (I know, I know, television dictates the gametime).

PREDICTION. A very close game. Certainly within the 11-12.5 points LSU is getting. There's no way I see this game with a differential more than 1 score either way, unless it's just a miasma of turnovers or major injuries. If LSU has the ball down 1 score in a two-minute drill, LSU wins. If LSU is trying to protect a lead and 'Bama has the ball--Alabama wins.

LSU will score at least 31 points. The question is--will Alabama be able to outscore them? I'll optimistically say no. Final score: LSU 34; Alabama 30. If LSU loses, it will be because they were outcoached or a bad call or tunover hit them at a crucial time. It won't be because they were outplayed or dominated to the tune of a 12-point spread all game.

Garrell
11-08-2013, 01:59 PM
LOL to most of that. Quarterback? LOL Running backs? Bama is 6+ deep. Receivers - After those 2 it is thin and Bama is stacked a 8+. Special teams - Bama has the All American punter and maybe returner.
Home field you are right on - wish it was in death valley.
This matchup is due for a bad game/not close and it favors Bama, you heard it here first.

Congrats. I think I was spot on---for the first 2.5 quarters. LOL. I knew LSU would have a hard time on defense; I figured more scoring for LSU offense however. Turning the ball over on the 1 foot line sure didn't help. And having to play catch-up in the 4th quarter...well, we all saw how that played out.

As a SEC homer, I'm rooting for an SEC BCS winner. That looks to be the winner of the Alabama/Auburn game. If that happens to be 'Bama, then I, too, say "Roll Tide."

When I saw the Auburn guy waiting under the goalposts, I had a feeling that would happen. LSU ran one back this year 109 yards, exactly the same. Except not a game-winner.

Really pisses me off, too. I had $250 on Alabama to cover 10. Every time I flipped over to the game in the 4th quarter, Bama was in the Red Zone. C'mon you bastards! Score some damn points! There's no excuse for 'Bama stuck on 28 points all 4th quarter. Did they even try to score a TD? Just run for no gain, run for no gain, send that POS FG kicker out there. Bad coaching, especially on the FG try. No way in hell 'Bama has anyone on the bench that can make that distance.

Sorry for the rant. Still sore over losing $250 on a team not ready to play. And looking like the SEC won't have a rep in the BCS Championship Game. Ohio State? Ohio fucking State? Are you kidding me!!!?

Based on their perfomance to day, OSU does not belong in the title game. Even though 'Bama slipped up they are still the team to beat IMHO. The Tide vs Stanford? They are dominating ND right now.

Ben Staad

OSU still has to play a fairly tough MSU team for the Big10 championship. If they play like they did against UM they could lose because MSU's defense is pretty freaking stout.

I think the Tide's decision "to go" on 4th down instead of kicking a field goal from the 15 yard line that would have put them up by 10 points mid-way in the 4th quarter was a very bad coaching decision... I think 99% of the coaches would have taken to opportunity to go up by 10 points.. It appeared to be a little coaching arrogance in my opinion.

I have come around a bit. 'Bama has a great team. That run back was a bit of a fluke, but hey, it counts. They will be back next year and so will Notre Dame and the others. That's what makes College football great!! They still get a major bowl. I think they (TPTB) are predicting an invite to the "Orange Bowl"?

On a side note, I do not usually keep up with the natives here in AZ, but fucking ASU is playing for the "Pac-12" title!!! It would be cool to see these idiots make even bigger "Ass' of themselves" if they win!! LOL LOL Stanford is a tall order though. ND beat, ASU and Stanford beat ND, so it will be interesting...

As an FSU alumni, I am thrilled that the team was able to pull off the victory last night. In my opinion, the two best teams were on the field last night.

Since I am here anyway:

GIG 'EM AGGIES!

I thought A&M would not have a shot in the SEC this year but it looks like I might have been wrong. I know the defense still has a long way to go but they definitely have improved. And Sumlin is showing that he knows how to run an offense. Those two trips to Alabama this year should be interesting.
