BCS Title Game Open Thread

What do you have to do to get back in this game?



"We'll, uh, maybe Alabama should just not show up." -quote of the night, Brian Kelly

HEY GUYZ DID YOU HEAR MCCARRON'S GIRLFRIEND WAS MISS ALABAMA?

If I am Kelly, screw it. No talking in the locker room, just tackling drills.

Saban has the stare and speech pattern of a sociopathic serial killer, ready to pick apart his victim....piece....by piece....

There is no animosity there. Only the understanding of what must be done.

Did Brian Kelly just concede ala the famous Bobby Williams postgame.

Quick, someone merge these into one gif:

Brian Kelly interviewing for Bears and Browns job at halftime.

1. Bama

2. Florida

3. Georgia

4. A&M



Is that possible?

Saban basically saying there's nothing to complain about. And Kelly basically saying the only chance they have is if Bama doesn't show up or the second half. I didn't really like his strategy of "we have to tke chances to have a chance." It's true, but it has to come off to his team like they need miracles to win. Which they did, but bad for morale.

wasnt a physical difference between the 2 teams nd it would come down to execution, etc.

Well, either there is a physical difference or his coaching stinks or both.

Men vs boys.

The shit-eating grin on Mark May's face will be the Mona Lisa of Schadenfreude.

Bama just needs to score twice to score more points than they did against us.

The  best tweet about the game I have seen "Someone call the Lehman Brothers and tell them they're no longer part of the most lopsided SEC victory""

This is so awesome.

In Rudy! Damn you Hollywood! Lol

Why is urban Meyer there?

Ah...it's still somewhat sickening, thinking back to all those turnovers. I would have loved a rematch this year, but I guess we'll just have to wait for UTL II to beat the Irish again...

Hahahahahahahahahahaha

Alabama goes into the locker room to hear a speech on how you need to play 60 minutes, whereas I assume Notre Dame goes into the locker  room to  hear a speech on how the 60  minutes are half gone and where have they been. It's all perspective, I suppose. 

In any case, one of the more interesting tidbits - ND is 0-5 on 3rd downs, and Alabama is 6-8, not to mention Alabama is outgaining ND at a 2.5:1 clip right now. 

Urban Meyer has no personality. 

I can't believe Desmond Howard has to endure sitting next to that scumbag.  

WTF, what is Urbz doing there?

Was locking out non-members from their "game watch" board (also known as the "Cup 'o Schadenfreude"). What I would give for use five minutes.

Nice year for OSU to be the only unbeaten team. hahahahaha

His Saban impression in the morning

ND = Apollo Creed, Bama = Ivan Drago

and this

I'm no fan of Brian Kelly's by any means but i have to give him credit for his candor walking off the field at half.  He actually seemed pretty composed and acurately assessed the situation (their only hope is if Alabama doesnt come out for the second half).

Notre Dame:  Return to Fraudulence.

Notre Dame:  Return to Fraudulence.

We'll always have the fact that MSU had him and lost him.

God bless you Desmond for calling it like it is...

Classic Desmond, go blue!

ND shows up with 8 new starters on O and 4 new D starters. I think the loss of 4 OL and Teo are their biggest issues.

Hopefully we procure 6 TOs from them and give them a Detroit style curb stomping.

Lol @ desmond "This is just a good ol' fashion butt whoopin'"

They wish. The only chance they have is to pull the Delorean around and hit 88.8 mph. Though I don't think they have enough gigiwatts.

Did not like Desmond touching him on the shoulder. Fuck you Urb.

And BTW, why the fuck is he on tv? He is a coach now not an analyst. Go away you fraudulent fuck.

So, all ND needs to do is:



1. Get the ball at half and score TD

2. Force a punt/turnover

3. Score a TD

4. Force a punt/turnover

5. Score a TD

6. Force a punt/turnover

7. Score a TD



Then gentlemen, we will have a ballpark on our hands

Meyer: "Um...bring large caliber firearms, like that guy in "The Last Boyscout." 

Mccarron better keep one eye on that girlfriend, Urbs the coed impaler, is in the house...

Fab Five special is on ESPNU.

this game weirdly therapeutic

LOL is anyone else watching the First Row stream?

Jewelry commercial just now: "We understand the love between Arkansas couples like only an Arkansas jeweller can."

The joke is just too easy, I'll let you finish it in your own minds.

ABC should have asked not to show his request that you video yourself grabbing the TV at a key moment in the game. It was over an hour ago.

In a show of class, Alabama comes out to play the second half with their helmets on backwards!!

More shots of AJ's girlfriend will keep me watching

Holy crap.

Damn.  That is a great play by Haha.

God I wish Clinton Dix would have came to Michigan.

I question a coaching staff, that keeps going after Milliner. Who drew up that game plan?

We need a lacy too

Can't wait til our o-line looks like this.

Wow. Amazing performance by Bama so far, though I hate to see so many guys go down to injury.

This is just silly now.

... the dam is about to burst

This is a disgrace to college football.

In case anyone thinks the nd pr machine didn't manufacture hype...

#55 for ND is one of their bright spots on D. In addition to a rapist wit, dude assaults the ballcarrier with ferocity

but what about the great domer defense?

Keep it coming. Bury those domers far underground.

5 star Clinton-Dix for TO.

Out trots 2 5-star tackles with 5-star Yeldon to run behind them.

Saban has recruited like a machine for years. Wow.

Mods started 2nd half thread if you don't like scrolling. Or hang here. Whatever works. Just FYI.

ND's defense has already given up more points than ours did (Denard threw a pick-six) against Bama.

High tide... Clever Brent

This is the curse of Freekbase 

Mussberger is now trying to make the game a soap opera with Jones and McCarron, this is what the game has come to

They are a great team, and very well coached.

I dont want UM to play Alabama as long as $aban is there, unless it is in basketball or hockey.
