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.

"Honey Badger better care about that one." Should be, Honey Badger better give a shit about that one.

Someone should show VaTech fans that catch. See how he had control of the ball and it didn't move when he hit the ground? That's a catch. Coale's was not.

I think someone should make a realistic version of that Nissan Frontier plane-saving commercial where the truck is crushed and there's a big explosion.

More commercial bitching: Hyundai's way of showing you their loyalty is for YOU to buy another of their products. Someone explain how this makes any sense.

How does Alabama get by with such pedestrian QBs over the years? McCarron, McElroy, John Parker Wilson, Croyle, etc.

I realize some of the above are not Saban recruits but you would think a blue chip quarterback would  love to walk into a team like Bama's that always has solid defenders and a stout running game.

I think they make it abundantly clear to these QBs that you will not throw the ball much, you will hand off and let the defense win the game, and most good QBs don't want to deal with that.  If I was an elite QB prospect, handing off to a bunch of talented (if a bit overrated) RBs and having a coach who prides himself on his defense over offense doesn't seem very appealing.

Alright, I'm really hoping that Terry Richardson ends up being our Tyrann Mathieu (you know after he adds 20 lbs).  Both 5'9", both play special teams, both have good closing speed...too much to ask for?
