The Gipper Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 If anyone saw that Alabama/LSU game, you know then that LSU choked like fucking dogs at the end of that game. They recover a fumble deep in Alabama territory with about 1:15 left on the clock. But they get a 15 yard stupid personal foul penalty that backs them up, and as a result they have no chance to score a TD, but can get a field goal to go up 13-10. However, they have let Alabama control the clock, so the clock only goes down to 50 seconds. Then, the biggest fuckup of them all: on the ensuing kickoff, the LSU kicker kicks it out of bounds. So Alabama, instead of having to start from like their 20 or deeper get the ball on their 40 yard line. It made all the difference in the world. Alabama only has to drive about 25-30 yards in those 50 seconds to get a chance a FG instead of having to go 45-50-60 yards. And in that drive LSU is only able to stop Alabama in the field of play to keep the clock running one time. Alabama receivers were wide open for good chunks of yardage and they were free to go out of bounds. Alabama was able to spike the ball with one second and the FG was good to tie the game....and of course Ala. wins the game on just 1 OT. Should Alabama be given some credit for performing in the clutch? Sure, but they were spoon fed the opportunities to make the tieing FG by all the LSU fuckups. LSU Choked....and I had wanted them to win because I am tired of Alabama, and I don't think they are all that good this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob806 Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 I agree with you, but the Saban factor is what lures voters in. I also think they win out in their conference, they are home for the remaining games. 'Bama struggled vs. Arkansas and got a free pass as well.

That is a big help to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted November 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 OK, here is a question: If Saban is such a darn good coach.....why was he a failure at Michigan St. and with the Dolphins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob806 Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 OK, here is a question: If Saban is such a darn good coach.....why was he a failure at Michigan St. and with the Dolphins? I think his style is more suited for college than the NFL. He knows he has the kids for 4 years, and they have to buy in to his program to see the field. Maybe at MSU he was losing the recruiting battle to Lloyd Carr, possibly Notre Dame as well. I'm not a Saban fan, but he made a great career move by heading south. He basically used his LSU stint to pad a resume, then after Miami he got the biggest coaching gig in the south ('Bama). I could be wrong here, but my hunch is the history of Alabama football is a big draw to athletes in the south (I know they struggled for years after Bear Bryant, firing coaches constantly).

MLD Woody Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 The SEC and Bama also condone waaay more bending or flat out breaking of the rules. Recruiting isn't that hard when you have bagmen and you can recruit 5 classes every four years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
