Are you serious Clark? Lewis starts anywhere
January 10th, 2017 at 12:42 PM ^
Eh... Minkah Fitzpatrick was a PFF All American, and Marlon Humphries wasn't much behind.
Jalen Tabor and Tre’Davious White both were worse than Alabama corners according to PFF.
PFF ranks NFL talent as:
#8 Jalen Tabor
#16 Jourdan Lewis
# 25 Tre’Davious White
...so I think it might be closer than you think.

But fuck Bama, and fuck Saban! That's all I care about.
January 10th, 2017 at 12:55 AM ^
Somewhere in Florida right now, Lane Kiffin has a huge smile on his face!!!
January 10th, 2017 at 12:57 AM ^
What a great game to cap off the season!!!

No Gimme Shelter for you, Nick

since Vince Young. Was eerily reminiscent, especially when DW looked shell-shocked that it actually happened. Go back and look at VY's reaction when he scored the winning points. He almost looks catatonic.

January 10th, 2017 at 1:07 AM ^
Well they are anyway. There were callers bitching about the OC change and trashing Saban for how the secondary played and saying they have to step it up in that area.
January 10th, 2017 at 1:09 AM ^
January 10th, 2017 at 1:10 AM ^
Fuck Clemson AND Alabama.
January 10th, 2017 at 1:15 AM ^
But they thumped OSU. Then beat Alabama.
Mixed emotions, but give them credit.
Congrats to D Watson. Young man took some shots and didn't quit.
I really like how they smacked down OSU. Our turn next.

Yes we know.
January 10th, 2017 at 6:47 AM ^
January 10th, 2017 at 7:07 AM ^
Nah, I consider the Maserati a worthy investment if thats what it takes.
January 10th, 2017 at 1:27 AM ^
January 10th, 2017 at 9:34 AM ^
Agreed. They will be very good, but they won't wave that Newton / Watson / Winston magic that puts you over the top.
We need some of that.
January 10th, 2017 at 1:33 AM ^
are not much different. Both bribe recruits and get away with NCAA violations.
January 10th, 2017 at 9:34 AM ^
Cut from the same cloth.
January 10th, 2017 at 1:49 AM ^
With the result. That's how finals games should look. Glad bama went down.
January 10th, 2017 at 6:45 AM ^
I turned it off quickly after it was over to get to bed, hoping to wake up to footage of Saban lambasting the refs over the blatant pick on that winning TD. That receiver went right for the legs of the defender and I noticed Saban on the sideline waving his arms as if pissed about the non-call.
Alas, I checked the Bama newspapers this morning and no whining from Saban. His players obliged instead though.

When DeShaun Watson was interviewed after the game, he acknowledged the pick.
January 10th, 2017 at 8:23 AM ^
that was one poor effort to not look like OPI.
January 10th, 2017 at 7:05 AM ^
with this game but only two teams in the last 5 years have not scored in a bowl game. Sparty and Ohio
January 10th, 2017 at 8:47 AM ^
That about sums up the last five years of my sex life.
January 10th, 2017 at 7:40 AM ^
January 10th, 2017 at 9:37 AM ^
I hate that guy. Mr. Emo.
January 10th, 2017 at 8:22 AM ^
Bama deserved it probably, but man those last 2 plays the refs hosed them. Suspect defensive PI call followed by no call on a brutal OPI on the winning TD. i guess it evens out for the no calls their way in teh first quarter.

When you've won 5 NCs in less than a decade, you can be benevolent and spread some wealth around without it bothering you too much.
January 10th, 2017 at 12:59 PM ^
Talking to a buddy of mine who's a big Bama fan, he's taking this loss in stride. He's sad and disappointed, but he also knows that things are probably going to OK long term. He expects to be delighted on NSD in February, he expects Bama to be ranked #1 going into next season, he expects Bama to make it into the playoff again, and he expects them to be playing for the National Championship again a year from now....and he's not being delusional with those expectations.

Then i went to the Birmingham news web site and looked at the comments after one of the articles about the game.
Auburn fans were doing a lot of gloating.
January 10th, 2017 at 9:25 AM ^
One of the priceless quotes:
"Saban, you see, doesn’t smile.
So much so that commenting on it has become an Internet meme. When the Miami Herald’s Greg Cote witnessed the man smile he wrote of the moment, “There was a rusty creaking sound, an emission of hell’s gasses and then the release of screeching bats as Saban’s lips parted.”

I'm glad. I'm sick of Alabama. Everytime I watch them (I always root for them to lose of course - they're basically the Yankees & Patriots at this point) I am bored to tears. Even the close games bore the shit out of me. Last night had an exciting finish but outside of the last 5 minutes, it was a snoozer of a game.
Alabama sucks all the fun and joy out of the game. As a team and as a program they have no identity or personality whatsoever. They never even have interesting players. Alabama makes the 90s Nebraska teams look like the freaking Harlem Globetrotters.
I think it's all a reflection of their automaton coach. It's not so much a football program as a goddamn robot factory.
I hate those fuckers and I'm glad they lost.
