introduce logic to cloud over the SEC SUCKS parade?
January 3rd, 2014 at 12:45 PM ^
What kind of bullshit sensationalism is this? No one said they sucked pal - and a lot of the comments in this "parade" regarding schedules and OOC games are perfectly logical. Go watch another round of ESPN.

They've been pretty underwhelming in out of conference play this year, though. In terms of this year, the SEC is just an average conference.
January 3rd, 2014 at 1:35 PM ^
About 75% of winning the MNC in the BCS era is getting voted into the title game. And what does that involve? Yep, self-promotion. Yeah, you have to have at least one team from your conference that has 0 or 1 loss, but most conference have that. I don't deny the SEC has done well in the actual game. But when the game gets set up for them on a platter like two years ago year (Alabama vs LSU) how can they NOT win the MNC? It was utterly ridiculous that either Oklahoma State or Stanford wasn't in that title game instead of Alabama.
January 3rd, 2014 at 2:21 PM ^
So both FSU and Auburn have a 75% of winning the MNC?

It didn't look like him in the postgame interview either. Looked like he was missing too much hair on the top of his head. Could be a lot of it laying on the field from him trying to pull it all out.

January 3rd, 2014 at 10:53 AM ^
I noticed his hair also. But, more for the color. I thought it must be totally grey/gray, but he has to color it so he looks younger and immortal to recruits so they think he will be coaching Alabama forever. #justformen

And they brought multiple linebackers (and corners on occasions) to get extra pressure on McCarron... Most of the pressure wasn't a result of the d-line. When it was, McCarron was taking 5-6 seconds to try and find receivers downfield while in the pocket and was buried under pressure like any other QB would be after stalling in the pocket

I never create threads on here, but as soon as it popped into my head I hurried to get it posted before anyone else thought of it.

Thank God... A little quiet in the south about the "strength" of the SEC at least until the NC... Now to shut them up completely, FSU (and Oklahoma St.).

This is a good laugh if you want to see an angry SEC fan before the game saying Stoops will regret his words. Some of my favorite Bob Stoops quotes that were included in the above article:
“I still don’t know how (Texas) A&M was third in the country in total offense and scoring offense playing all those SEC defenses. I have no idea how that happened,” Stoops said. “Oh, they got a quarterback. That’s right.”
“Just a few years ago, we had all the quarterbacks,” Stoops said in a small session with beat reporters, according to The Oklahoman. “And now, all of a sudden, we can play a little better defense and some other people can’t play defense.”
“It depends on who you want to listen to,” Stoops said. “Listen, they’ve had the best team in college football, meaning they’ve won the national championship. That doesn’t mean everything else is always the best.”
…
“So you’re listening to a lot of propaganda that gets fed out to you,” he said. “You’re more than smart enough to figure it out. Again, you can look at the top two, three, four, five, six teams, and you can look at the bottom six, seven, eight, whatever they are. How well are they all doing?
“What’d we (the Big 12) have, eight of 10 teams in bowl games this year? Again, you figure it all out.”
Saban added that he "really likes Stoops" but added that "people who don't play in our league (SEC) ... don't understand how tough it is."

it's also amazing how moving to the SEC improved A&M and MIzzou so much, so quickly.

Putting that gigantic SEC patch on your jersey makes you instantly faster.

it was so damn distracting. He cheecks and chin smashed together to form an assface. I bet that LSU Freek guy will come up with something.

of MANBALL is running the football ANY freaking time you want. That definition would put Stanford as the ultimate MANBALL team in college fottball in 2013 ... and they lost.
Sparty won by throwing the football as Cook had a career game .... so how is that MANBALL?

Did anyone see AJ's girlfriend's reaction when he got sacked and fumbled at the end? It was a glorious sight to behold, indeed.
January 3rd, 2014 at 1:29 AM ^
There's a GIF of her reaction on SB Nation which is much better because it captures the emotion of her and those around her, but I dont know how to embed it.

HahaHAAAAA!! I could watch this all day!!
January 3rd, 2014 at 7:50 AM ^
That's gotta be pretty awesome, if you're an ESPN cameraman and you get the "Hot Girl Cam"
January 3rd, 2014 at 7:58 AM ^
I agree with Lou Holtz...AJ's mom is hot hot hot.

I think I flipped off the TV when they showed these two last night.

Love the half surrender cobra.
January 3rd, 2014 at 2:12 AM ^
So. Much. Schadenfreude.
January 3rd, 2014 at 2:30 AM ^
Tonight was a big blow to the SEC.
I hope that one day we get to the point when 11-2 and 10-3 seasons are our bad years like Alabama.

Uhhhh no. The AD will get zero messages. Maybe two, there's always crazy people in Alabama.

Hmm where's the congrats Oklahoma thread? I was told it made you a douchebag to not have a 500 ass kissing thread towards other teams.
