Alabama Crimson Tide v Notre Dame Fighting Irish - BCS Championship - Game Thread

[BlackNGold]

ND fans. When they lose it means the other teams is doing it without honor. That is why I have trouble ever cheering for ND with their self-righteous fans. They are over matched accept it. ND players are playing hard they just don't have the same talent level.

Are they still playing?

Did the game start? I thought this was a scrimmage.

Jones just put the hardest hit on AJ this game.

Congrats BC.

 

[Buffalo Brad]

Domination. Congrats Charlie!

Wish we could have kept Spond a CU commit

Same. I'm amazed that he's still playing though, that concussion he had his senior year was absolutely brutal.

Congrats to Bama. Hell of a team. It's ****ed up to think that they are a fumble away from winning 4 in a row. That team that lost to Newton was ****ing insanely talent.

They'll win it all again next year if the chips fall where they need to.

Alabama a step above everyone

We were not in the hunt for the MNC that year. USCe and LSU had beat us. We were the spoiler for the barn and couldn't stop Newton.

This, times about 1000. Don't deflect this embarrassing loss by pointing to the high graduation rate or high GPA's. That's great and all but this is about football and the game being played on the field and you just got dominated from start to finish, so deal with it.

I have to give credit to Mike Golic for taking this like a man. He was at the game last night and was undoubtedly up for a few hours after it ended, but there he was on set at his show this morning at 6am and told it like it was, that these 2 teams lined up and Bama gave them a butt-whipping. And he didn't take anything away from Bama by saying that ND didn't play their game, instead he gave full credit to Bama for manhandling them.

The way this game went last night almost made it worth for having to put up with ND winning all season. I have not enjoyed a national championship game this much since the Canes whipped Nebraska following the 2001 season but this one easily topped it. Congrats to Alabama, and thank you!!!!

I watched a good chunk of the game last night. Congrats to Charlie and all the rest of the Tide fans.
Based on what I saw in the bowls this year I see at least four maybe five teams in the top ten that could handle the Irish w/o too much trouble.
Oregon, Georgia, A&M, FSU and maybe even Clemson.

Whatever luck ran them to 12 - 0 during the season ran out last night in a big way. I think they have almost 30 seniors in this class so they may look a little more realistic next season. They really weren't as good as the perfect record might have indicated. Story book year that ended really bad. I was hoping for 45 - 6 Tide. They got close enough to make me happy.

I remember Spond running all over my HS defense with that stupid triple option/no passing offense.

ND has updated their "Play Like a Champion" sign (compliments of LSU Freek)

Hate both teams...so I'm glad one team lost :lol:

one of the most boring nc games I have watched. nd did not belong there it seemed and I do not see anyone beating ua unless you cheat like them.

As a CU fan, I am offended that Notre Dame would emulate CU's trademark ability to get blown out in front of national ESPN audience and do so in a spectacular fashion.

Those Domers totally looked like an Embree coached CU team playing everyone in the Pac12 not named Utah.

Hey ND, CU called and wants our face plant back.

There are a few more then that. They did not belong anywhere near this game and good fortune got them there.

Congrats to Bama though.

Did they deserve to be there? Absolutely.

That's 10 BCS teams including USC, OU, the U, Michigan and MSU. It just so happened that all of those teams had a down year by their standards, except perhaps OU who went 8-1 in Conference. The Stanford game was kind of a sham win, but that happens sometimes, especially when you play at ND's house.

I dislike ND as much as the bugeaters, but they deserved to be there in our current system. Sorry, but that's why I've always disliked the CFB postseason. Best regular season, but it ends up REQUIRING luck to play for the MNC. ****, even Bama lost a game and almost didn't make it if KSU and UO didn't choke on their own dick. It's why it's mythical and until we get a real playoff schedule it's the crappiest post-season ever. Bama was the best team in the nation, but I would have loved for them to beat one of the other 1 loss teams too.

I'm glad this is changing.

How is BYU considered a BCS team? And we all know that counting Wake and BC as BCS wins, which technically correct, is a stretch. Michigan played so bad that CU would've been competitive with them in that game. We saw how Purdue did against OSU. And the Pitt game, well, that speaks for itself.

Having said all that, they had to put ND in the BCS title game based on the fact that they were the only undefeated major college team out there. But that doesn't mean they were truly deserving of being there. And thankfully they were exposed. Badly.
