  1. He can still take the loss without acting like a 28 pt blowout was a game they almost won. We already knew he was a jerk who wins 90% of his games before last night's game.
  2. The flip side is that maybe that way of thinking creates a certain amount of arrogance which is what led to them losing by 4 tds last night. I mean that way of thinking is fine when you are only losing by a fg or a td and can point to your mistakes and think 'if only I had done this or that then we would have won which shows we were actually the better team' but it doesn't work as well when you just got completely embarrassed on the biggest stage possible. They need to take the loss and not be pussies about it at that point.
  3. It was embarrassing just to watch. Those players completely followed Nick's lead in how they answered questions. They can't fathom that they just got outplayed and outcoached and so have to think of all these other ways to answer questions that don't allow them to just admit that Clemson was better in every way, shape and form. ie they are pussies.
  4. Pretty sure they got their asses kicked in that bowl game. edit: I see this was already mentioned above.
  5. It don't matter. The media will look at like 10 sec teams having top 25 recruiting classes and figure the sec is still the strongest conference just like always. Just like a few years ago when every one of their top teams lost(like every team that was ranked going into bowls) and the next year they still had 5 teams in the top 10. The only question is whether Bama will get the benefit of the doubt if they fail to win the sec.
  6. I said it ended the run that went from about 86-92. 2000-2002 was a new run with a new coach and they were pretty awful for a few years before that happened.
  7. This loss is very reminiscent of the Miami loss to Bama in the 92 title game that ended their run as the top program in cfb after running roughshod the previous 7 seasons.
  8. ya, was 99% sure they were going to run something like that. So was Clemson's Defense.
  9. The real question is whether this loss drives Saban into retirement. Bama mystique may be gone after tonight.
  10. I didn't say they didn't belong. Obviously losing to a not that great lsu team doesn't help from the perspective of the national media though. Its not like it would be if they had all their players and won 45-24. Then the media would be pushing for a way to include them or some other G5 sooner rather than later.
  11. I'm still for there being a place for the G5 teams or w/e you call them if the playoff goes to 8 teams. ucf obviously didn't help their case that much with their loss but how can we ignore all the other small schools who did win their bowl games against top 10 teams over the years? Utah stomped a one loss Bama team before they moved to the pac, Boise did it, tcu did it before joining and a few others did it as well. If the P5 schools want to keep them out then they should have done a better job of winning those games rather than having to use the 'weren't really trying' excuse over and over again which is bullshit. Was Georgia not trying also this year because Sugar Bowls are now beneath them? If a team doesn't play its best in a bowl game then that's just poor coaching.
  12. Its pretty unreal how's just kept churning out high quality movies as a director, actor, writer? even past the age of 60 and 70. Almost every other big name actor in movie history slowed down a lot at that age in terms of quality and productivity but Eastwood just keeps going and going even into his 80's. He might end up having the greatest career in the history of Hollywood when you factor in both acting and directing.
  13. There's a case to be made for ND being in the playoff based on them being undefeated and playing a decent schedule but I think there's a pretty decent case for leaving them out also. Most of the big names on their schedule were having down years and they struggled to beat a lot of the mediocre teams. Then of course the no ccg.. ND is playing by their own rules right now just like when they went forever to play bowl games because it was beneath them or some shit like that.
  14. Same guy who wanted new rules to slow down no huddle offenses when that is what he was losing to 'for the good of the players'.
  15. I'll agree with that. People bring up smaller boxers but forget that boxers spend all their free time learning how to use their body weight to drive punches into other people's bodies and faces. They punch something like 5x harder than a guy with similar size and strength would so they can easily knock out a bigger guy because all it takes is connecting with enough power to a certain place on the head or chin. Someone like Norman would have to get incredibly lucky to knock out Lewan and once Lewan gets his hands on Norman he is at his mercy. He would ragdoll Norman with one hand and if he gets on top of him what is Norman gonna do? Not much.
  16. Dabo says they're "dealing with it" which seems like coach speak for 'we'll find a way to get them eligible for the playoff game'.
  17. Dude is fairly old now(67) and working the hours of an nfl hc aren't going to help anyone in the aging dept. Plus he should have ran it. That by itself prob aged him an extra 3 years.
  18. Earned and completely legitimate aren't exactly the same thing. Bama earned their 14-1 record and two playoff wins. That of itself does not fully legitimize them being named the national champions of college football last year if certain teams worthy of consideration never had a chance at said title.
  19. Having a G5 team in there every other year would bring in national interest. We've seen non P5 teams beat top 10 P5 teams in bowls on a few occasions now. We just haven't seen them against the best P5 teams without the excuse of 'well they were bummed out having to play the mid major team in a bowl game rather than play for the title' which is always thrown out there when those teams lose. It needs to go to 8 teams. Having one loss P5 champs left out based on what some idiots in a room think is a travesty to the whole point of trying to name a national champion in the first place.
  20. You honestly think its some big coincidence that Bama and probably Auburn seem to always schedule some fcs cupcake the week before they play each other? In fact, the sec is the only P5 conference I know of that regularly works those sort of games into the meat of the conf schedule every single year. I think everyone here knows exactly what is going on there and its called pussy ass bullshit. That is what it is.
  21. Baylor making a travshammockery of the Big 12.
  22. Don't get why people keep saying this is the last Avengers movie. Last maybe with the original crew. Not last period. Marvel hasn't said anything about this being the final movie.
  23. I was under the assumption he had concrete blocks tied to his shoes when I watched it.
  24. idk about player safety but imo if we go to an 8 team format the kids who play the extra games(which will bring in some pretty serious $) deserve to be compensated for it. Even if its only something like $10k per player for the extra games past the first round. A team that plays in the title game would have likely played 16 games compared to the 12-13 they were playing not so long ago.
  25. I'd be perfectly fine with just taking 4 out of the 5 P5 champs every year. **** the Catholics the same way they've been ****ing altar boys for the last 1000 years. Let them join a conf if they want a chance at the big trophy.
