National Championship Game Open Thread

Submitted by M-Wolverine on

Well, it'll probably be a short thread, since everyone has already said they're not watching tonight. But for those that are, it's the end of college football on the field for awhile. Gameday on. Pregame in about half an hour.  It'll keep us busy till the Two and a Half Men Open thread starts later tonight.

The defending National Champs against a Top 10 ranked Michigan squad featuring Denard Robinson in Jerry World. ABC sports execs must have a raging hard-on right now.

Also, LSU down 21 just threw a swing pass behind the LOS after Jefferson chucked one into the turf.

These teams don't really have that great of defenses... the offenses in the SEC are just so inept that it makes them look good. Seriously, I turned it off after Jefferson tried that horrid shovel pass right into the arms of the Bama linebacker. That was disgustingly bad to look at. 

And where is this vaunted LSU defense? Bama's just marching up and down the field on them no problem. 

I think LSU was no match for Ess Eee See SPEED.

Still trolling I see.

I still feel that treating the first game of the season between Oregon and LSU as somehow representative of how those two teams would match up now is silly.

As for WVU, that game was 34-21 with WVU driving into the 4th quarter.  LSU and Alabama have very good defenses, but watching this game I saw offenses that couldn't/wouldn't do anything creative to move the ball.

That game was pointless. There's no way that Alabama can claim to have a better season than LSU.

I almost want to say that they deserve the MNC though, because I can't understand why LSU wouldn't switch quarterbacks.

Well this has been a steaming shit pile of a game, and totally what the voters deserved for making the rematch happen. I move that SEC teams are banned from all BCS bowls for the next 10 years to repent.

11/17 passing for Jefferson for 53 yards.  You can't throw the ball down field how do you expect to do anything against a great D.  Bad game plan, bad execution, bad offense all around by LSU.

I wonder if Miles lost some of his locker room when he benched Lee back in November.  Lee had gone 9-0 as a starter.  He'd done all the right things.  Jefferson had gotten in trouble a couple of times off the field.  Why should he have taken over as the QB of a #1 team?  He didn't get them there.
