Feel sorry for the cfb fans who somehow feel the need to boycott this game or don’t find this exciting. Unless you only watch cfb for UM which I understand.
January 7th, 2019 at 8:45 PM ^
We wanted the two best teams. Or at least that’s what we all said we wanted. Now we’ve got it. Zero debate that these are the two best teams in America. And it’s an incredibly entertaining game so far.
Yeah, I wish other teams would emerge, too. But I’m with Dabo: he and Saban should not apologize for their dominance. The rest of college football needs to play better and give them a challenge. End of story.
January 7th, 2019 at 8:42 PM ^
These teams inject more fluids than a Ford engine.
How was multiple steroid suspensions not a bigger story? Oh yeah, money
January 7th, 2019 at 8:44 PM ^
SARMS arent steroids, but I get you
January 7th, 2019 at 8:42 PM ^
Can’t remember how many times I’ve said this in the last few years in watching these title games, but it’s still indisputable.
Michigan is lightyears behind these teams. Light. Years. And not Alpha Centauri lightyyears. We’re talking Andromeda galaxy distance of light years.
And that doesn’t look like it’s going to change anytime soon.
January 7th, 2019 at 8:43 PM ^
I'm not sure of the difference between those two terms but guessed it was a shit load and upvoted.
January 7th, 2019 at 8:48 PM ^
This made me lol
January 7th, 2019 at 8:48 PM ^
Alpha Centauri is 4.4 lightyears from Earth. The Andromeda Galaxy is 2.5 million lightyears away from Earth.
Yeah, it’s a shitload.
January 7th, 2019 at 8:50 PM ^
Either you’re smart.. or you googled. Either way thanks for the pointless info that I will definitely use in the near future to make someone else feel dumb.
January 7th, 2019 at 8:52 PM ^
That’s kind of why the CFP talk always made me laugh a little. Of course, it would be wonderful to beat OSU and win the BIG to make the CFP. But when your prize is playing Clemson or Bama combined with the conservative nature of our offense, I fail to see how it would’ve resulted in anything other than a whole lot of pain.
January 7th, 2019 at 8:43 PM ^
Once again Don Brown is giving up the slants.
January 7th, 2019 at 8:43 PM ^
This game is too exciting.
NEED MOAR INSIDE RUNS ON 1ST/2ND DOWN!!!
January 7th, 2019 at 8:44 PM ^
These offenses are FAST. And they get their WRs in space. Weird
January 7th, 2019 at 8:45 PM ^
The film room guys are not good at showing us what's happening right now. Love the all-22 angle, but not watching a live play in a tiny window in the corner.
January 7th, 2019 at 8:45 PM ^
Harbaugh is probably throwing up watching all of this passing success
January 7th, 2019 at 8:46 PM ^
This is the future of offense. Passing plays now open up the run.
January 7th, 2019 at 8:49 PM ^
This is sickeningly true
January 7th, 2019 at 9:02 PM ^
If by "future" you mean for the last decade already
January 7th, 2019 at 8:46 PM ^
I hope JH just bases our offense on these teams, throw to the TE a little more if you like, but it should basically be the same thing.
January 7th, 2019 at 8:58 PM ^
Don't count on it
January 7th, 2019 at 8:46 PM ^
Was our Dline just injured by OSU or did they straight up underperform? Clemson DL is nasty
And Bama is still moving it on them
January 7th, 2019 at 8:50 PM ^
Weird....it's almost like you need a good defense and STILL need a good offense
January 7th, 2019 at 8:46 PM ^
Is this the kind of crap they call football nowadays? Where's the fullback? Where are the body blows? When does the next season of Married With Children start?
January 7th, 2019 at 8:48 PM ^
Hey, Najee.
January 7th, 2019 at 8:48 PM ^
Who the hell is this Najee guy? He seems pretty decent.
January 7th, 2019 at 8:49 PM ^
Who needs Najee Harris when you can run manball with Chris Evans?
January 7th, 2019 at 8:48 PM ^
Fuck John O’Neill
January 7th, 2019 at 8:49 PM ^
Najee Harris has sick run....is down waaaay short. B1G refs say TD. LMFAO. FAIL. bheeeeg tehhhhhn
January 7th, 2019 at 8:49 PM ^
Dabo is an ass. Did you see him yell at his coordinator "DO YOUR JOB!"? I guess that's how you motivate people (?)
January 7th, 2019 at 8:51 PM ^
Pretty sure that was at the ref.
January 7th, 2019 at 8:54 PM ^
He was yelling at a sideline official.
January 7th, 2019 at 9:13 PM ^
....and Harbaugh has the refs over for tea and crumpets every Sunday.
January 7th, 2019 at 8:50 PM ^
Eubanks should be used how Bama uses their tight end.
January 7th, 2019 at 8:50 PM ^
Watching this offense is making me sick.
January 7th, 2019 at 8:50 PM ^
We would NEVER run a play like that. Harbaugh would run three full back dives, run 6 minutes off the clock, and kick a field goal.
January 7th, 2019 at 8:51 PM ^
No football expert but Bama offensively looks amazing. Two back sets, singe back set, pro form, 3 wide, single tight end. Playing with swagger confidence. Hopefully our coaches are taking notes. Very creative play calling.
Only weakness is the kicker.
January 7th, 2019 at 8:51 PM ^
That's what happens when you don't have a 5-star kicker.
January 7th, 2019 at 8:51 PM ^
Wow, a PA at the goal line? That’s different.
January 7th, 2019 at 8:51 PM ^
Chicago fans shaking their heads right now.
January 7th, 2019 at 8:51 PM ^
Crafty Bama TD...
We would have run the full playclock then handed off the the FB on a dive
January 7th, 2019 at 8:52 PM ^
The one thing Bama doesn’t have is a 5 star kicker
January 7th, 2019 at 8:52 PM ^
All that and they still run a bootleg and throw it to the TE on the goal line. You can have it all Jimmy.
January 7th, 2019 at 8:52 PM ^
Sounded like Dabo getting on one of his assistants yelling, “Do your job!” Something to be said of demanding results from one another I guess.
January 7th, 2019 at 8:53 PM ^
It looked like he was yelling at a ref.
January 7th, 2019 at 8:55 PM ^
I wondered that, but didn’t see any stripes.
January 7th, 2019 at 8:52 PM ^
Even Nick Saban will call a pass with the ball at the half-yard line.
January 7th, 2019 at 8:54 PM ^
Which is fine but when Michigan gets creative and calls a pass when we could Ben Mason the ball in people get mad. The appropriate playcall is always "the one that works."
January 7th, 2019 at 8:52 PM ^
HA! At least we have a kicker. Am I right?
January 7th, 2019 at 8:54 PM ^
If only 6 FG's could when a game against OSU.
January 7th, 2019 at 8:56 PM ^
What do you mean if only? We can if we try hard enough lol
