BCS game day thread

[coastal]

T'eo looked like a jerk on that drive.

[Skooby]

Move this to college/NcAA.

Joking.

[ParanoidAndroid]

ND just got hosed by the refs.

[coastal]

Notre Dame coach talked about 4 two minute segments as being vital to the outcome of the game... The first two minutes and last two minutes of every half.

so far they lost the first segment... Badly.

and T'eo... Wtf?

[ParanoidAndroid]

Alabama's O-line is killing the Irish D.

- - - Updated - - -

Totally whiffed on the TD run. He was free to fill the gap, too.

[jimmifli]

Teo can't get off a block

[coastal]

Ok.. This game sucks.

warmack just owned T'eo

[ServoBillieves]

This is pathetic...

[Buffalo Thriller]

Roll tide!

[SpikedLemonade]

I'm an Irish fan but this looks like an Alabama blow out.

Their OL is just blowing up ND's DL.

[kingJofNYC]

THE GREAT MANTI TE'O!

[ParanoidAndroid]

Irish going to get hosed again?

[coastal]

I'm an Irish fan but this looks like an Alabama blow out.

A great oline can make all the difference... The Bills should be mindful.

[SpikedLemonade]

Te'o had a good year but the Combines will completely humble him.

I am a ND fan but would never draft him in the 1st round.

[SpikedLemonade]

A great oline can make all the difference... The Bills should be mindful.

We better sign our RFA on the OL.

I can live without Byrd.

[ParanoidAndroid]

The Irish better play some D here or this game is done.

[ParanoidAndroid]

McCarron's girlfriend..... Wow! Indeed.

- - - Updated - - -

[Crisis]

this game is going to get ugly. only the ND homers thought they'd have a chance in this game. i hate saban too but bama is just leagues above ND.

[THE END OF ALL DAYS]

Men against boys

[SpikedLemonade]

The Irish better play some D here or this game is done.

It's done.

[coastal]

Wow.

not even in the same league.

[Slim]

This game is already over. Alabama is playing flawlessly and the Irish are playing undisciplined. In a game where Alabama is a better team to begin with, this is a joke.

[psubills62]

Ouch. Not looking good.

[kingJofNYC]

We should have taken a before and after poll on Te'o

Dude cannot shed against quality NFL linemen. Still want him?

[cookie G]

Wow.

not even in the same league.

Just take out the "wow" part.

This wasn't unexpected.

Oregon...or half of the SEC teams, would have made this a better game.

[THE END OF ALL DAYS]

Yeah T'eo looking like a high schooler

[ParanoidAndroid]

Game.

[coastal]

Just take out the "wow" part.

This wasn't unexpected.

Oregon...or half of the SEC teams, would have made this a better game.
I get the underdog part, put Christ... the Tide o-line is completely dominating.

[SpikedLemonade]

Good night.

I need to end my night with a good laugh so I am switching to Fox News.

[Arctic Wild Man]

Is anybody surprised by this game so far? The BCS rankings are a joke. No way was ND the #1 team in the nation. Oregon and Alabama was what it should have been.

[Jaydog57]

I grew up watching the 'Catholics vs Convicts' games, so I'm happy to be a Convict tonight. We had a hated rivalry in the 80s and 90's that some of you younger Irish fans don't remember. It would be against my better judgement to hope Rudy gets a hard on tonight. Go 'Bama, **** Notre Dame. []_[]:peace:

[Skooby]

Is this game over yet? This is college, things change. ND also has a championship virgin defense that's probably real nervous, they'll settle down & make a game of it (I hope).

[tampabay25690]

Yea getting ugly...

[ParanoidAndroid]

T'eo looks lost.

[psubills62]

The only time Alabama has been stopped is when they stop themselves.

[cookie G]

I get the underdog part, put Christ... the Tide o-line is completely dominating.

If you saw the opening day game between Bama and Michigan, this isn't any different.

ND barely beat Michigan, Bama did the same thing it is doing tonight. Who you play really does matter, regardless of what some will argue.

PS. The Bama offense is going to catch hell from Saban at halftime over the last two series.

HE'S the college coach the Bills should have taken.

Maybe you missed Saban in Miami, I wouldn't want that douche anywhere near Buffalo.

[ParanoidAndroid]

So, right there #80 is kept in to block? Duh.

Don't care what he did in Miami, don't care what he did to Miami. Its Miami.

He's the only person in the country that would scare the crap out of Belichick.

AHHHH HAHAHAHAHAAAAA HAHAHAHA. YEP! Need some Saban up in here! What a stupid comment...

[Crisis]

Yeah he'd scare away Belichick for the one or two years he'd coach in the NFL before running back to the SEC in the middle of the night again.

[THE END OF ALL DAYS]

T'eo looking HORRIBLE. makes me REALLY wonder how he will handle big boys in NFL.

[cookie G]

Could you prance around in teal for 2 years straight? I'm surprised he made it that long.

[kingJofNYC]

Like I've said before, closer to a 2nd round pick than a top 10 selection.

[cookie G]

Maybe they can replay the Bama-Georgia game instead of the 2nd half.

[jimmifli]

T'eo looking HORRIBLE. makes me REALLY wonder how he will handle big boys in NFL.
He can't seem to get off a block. His coverage hasn't been terrible, but yeah... looks like a poor man's Poz.

[Crisis]

They should just keep the camera on AJ's girlfriend the rest of the game

[Don't Panic]

So much for T'eo from the sounds of it. Good thing there's 3.5 months to pour over the possibilities...

i can't wait until we get a semifinal so we can get rid of the NDs before the title game.

[coastal]

This game sucks. Utter disappointment.

as far as T'eo... This game can take him from borderline top 5 to second round.

bama's oline warmack and the center... Legitimate first rounders.

[cookie G]

Old man's reference alert.

Watching him against the Bama interior line is like watching the Road Warriors beat up on Marrty Jenetty or Paul Roma.

For once don't take this the wrong way, but 2nd round? I wouldn't want this guy on my team in a clutch game EVER with how he's playing right now.

I'd rather have Sheppard, and that's saying something. Te'o looks just awful.

I hear ya man... it's a pitiful performance.

[THE END OF ALL DAYS]

T'eo is loosing money with every missed tackle

I have no idea who those people are. You're getting a little long in the balls.

[coastal]

Alabama's RB Lacy kind of reminds me of OJ Anderson.

i like him.

[Crisis]

Alabama's RB Lacy kind of reminds me of OJ Anderson.

i like him.

He looks like a slightly slower Trent Richardson

[psubills62]

Yeldon is the best RB on Bama, and they're bringing three more into the next class (assuming they keep all of them). Don't know if Derrick Henry will end up at RB, but he'd work well behind Bama's OL either way.

[cookie G]

sigh...from memories of my wasted youth..

I think they invented face paint for wrestlers. One's dead, the other is James Larenitis' (LB for the Rams) father.

[Skooby]

ND looks like a beaten team, badly coached D & they keep trying to press into losing offensive calls.

[JoeMama]

Haha this game turned out exactly like I said it would.

[Mike13]

Saban may have not been cut out at the pro level but he is arguably amongst the greatest college coaches ever.

[ParanoidAndroid]

Does Saban have ND's playbook? Something isn't right here.

[cookie G]

There's a reason this will be Bama's 3rd national title in 4 years.

This is how they look in a nonconference game. (and most conference games).

But I agree with Brent Musberger, just how good is Johnny Football?

[Arctic Wild Man]

It will be interesting to see. Texas A&M is going to get decimated in the draft so they will be a shell of this year's team.

[Skooby]

This is most likely the case, AL has all the plays locked down tonight.

[DBrown77]

They should just keep the camera on AJ's girlfriend the rest of the game
Or Sabans daughter

[coastal]

God I like this lacy kid.

[Jaydog57]

Suck it, Rudy, suck it hard..........

[Ingtar33]

Does Saban have ND's playbook? Something isn't right here.

no... it does look it from time to time, but what i'm seeing is a ND team which is getting destroyed at the point of attack. About the only kid on that defense who's holding his ground is the NT... and Bama is running away from him. I'm shocked at how poor that defense is doing holding the point of attack. That's not the same defense that went toe to toe with Stanford or Oklahoma.

They were sloppy to start the game which gave Alabama lots of free yards, lost their balance, lost their footing, then the ball started to roll down-hill, and once Alabama got into the groove the ND defense never got their feet under them again. Start the game differently (3 and out) and i bet we see a closer game. ND just never recovered from that opening drive.

I've seen games, coached in games, played in games like this one. It sucks to be on the receiving end of a beating like this, especially when you know you're not as bad as the score shows.
