BCS Title Game Open Thread: Part II

Only reasons to watch this game now:

1) Best dejected ND fan shot

2) Miss Alabama

5 FG's last year.....5extra points this year

There is no such thing as running up the score tonight, Saban. Pedal to the medal. Do not call off the dogs.

Now I've seen a lot of schadenfreude in my time. But this? This is on another level. The Germans will have to come up with another word.

Now we can focus on recruiting and basketball.

If this is what glory looks like, I don't think ND wants to return there any more.

Slap-Chopped Balls

thank god ND didn't join the B1G.  Don't need that kind of humiliation (again - thanks buckeyes).

Hmmm...yeah....

Notre Dame will not catch up to us for the all time wins % today.

Who else is going to bask in the Irish tears on their message boards??

That the ND grad spent all that money to make the tickets to the NC game affordable to ND students, so they could feel the pain up close and personal? As one of the wounded in Dallas, I can say it is much worse on the road.

Nick Saban...2nd best coach ever? :(

There isn't anything left to comment on. This is a massacre, and I feel terrible for those kids in blue and gold. They're out there willing to leave it all on the field, and they have no way of matching up physically or schematically. Continuing the commentary is in poor taste at this point. If ND goes on a 21-0 run, bring the comments back. But this is embarrassing to run up so many comments on a rout that's not even our team.

This is pretty funny to read:

I am encouraged by what I saw from Coach Hoke in the bowl game.  Michigan is not there talent wise and depth wise yet...but Coach Hoke played the game to win.  This is what Saban does...not pull out stops.  I think Hoke will be a similar game coach once he gets better talent to work with.

I think the odds of Kelly heading to the Bears are going up.  When the ND fans start to claim that Gholson is only a freshmen and he'll improve remember what happended to Garron Gilbert.  Favourite line of the night so far was Musberger saying if this were a prize fight they'd call it.  Remember how everyone said if Boise or on of the other BCS busters got to the title game and gat hammered that would be their last shot?  The same should go for ND.

A&M also has a 1st round pick at LT

Saban needs to start going for two.

I never got to see that Texas A&M/Alabama game, unfortunately.  I was on my way back from Ann Arbor after that overtime game against Northwestern. 

Looks like the refs are trying to help ND score at least one TD.

he literally only touched him.. 

Ugh, gift from the refs. Whatever, they're not going to save you today ND.

I swear ive seen this game before

Damn it. I wanted a shutout

Shutout averted.

The echos have returned! Huzzah!

But seriously it shows u the power of the SEC. I cant stand that bullshit but its true they are far ahead of the rest. Meanwhile the BIG counters by adding Rutgers and Maryland

Alabama 35

Refs: 7

Goddamnit. Seriously though, did that roughing call seem like a complete pity call to anyone else?

If the head ref picks up the phone I'm sure it'll be the programming director from ESPN calling to say "thank you".
