NCAA Football 2015

So how about that 'Bama defense? 

It is amazing what you can do with 5 star recruits at basically every position.

Tell that to USC

I was really hoping that Sparty would blast this out. Looks like it won't happen though.

I haven't really followed it but the impression I got was that he swung at someone else and accidentally hit the cop.

He also apparently snuck back out after being in bed for the midnight curfew.

I think the cops are saying right now that it might have been unintentional, or at least hitting the cop was unintentional.  But yeah, supposedly he was there for bed check, then took off to go to the local branch of Pat O'Brien's.

I don't recall, but didn't TCU have to play without him already this year? Curious how it effects game vs Ducks.

[MadBurgerMaker]

Yeah he missed the Oklahoma game this year (they lost by 1).

So was most of the country excluding Alabama fans and maybe some MIchigan fans. Even the non Alabama SEC homers have had enough of them.

Eh, was hoping Kirby Smart's squad performed exceptionally, and they did. 

Could have done with a few less touchdowns though.

Clemson vs Alabama: not really that great a draw frankly.

I don't know. Maybe some people like it.

That doesn't seem so strategic in terms of thinking. We are a month from national signing day, and you are going to be without a full time coach for another week and a half.

[Eddie Teach]

That shit is out of my control.

I'm just hoping he's got the goods.

I may be biased because I live in the middle of it all and know lots of supporters from both schools, but I think it is awesome. Alabama is the death star of college football and has been for a while, and while Clemson is led by an Alabama guy and tries to mimic its program organizationally, Dabo Swinney in terms of personality and style of offense is basically the anti nick saban. Clemson is really good this year, but for a generation or two is best known for blowing golden opportunities. They are two really different programs.

Bama-State looked real good on the TV in a bar.  Football looks better with those super-amped lights.

Those two highlight plays--the interception by Bama on the stop and go from around the 20, and that TD run by that scat back that broke two tackles with hard core jukes--were world class.

All the camera closeups on the Bama players made me think that team is a bunch of hard men doing serious work.  Loved the sweat and the dirt.

[Admiral Yi]

One of my earliest memories of Bama football is a national championship game against Miami, must have been in the 80s.  End of the game, Miami is trailing by like 4 or 7.  Miami has two out wide, everyone else staying home to block.  Bama has 9 stacked on the line with one on one press coverage on the wideouts.  No safety help.  That was a hellacious statement about faith in their corners to cover.

Seems to me like Bama always has outrageous corners.  Do you guys concur?

Boring games this morning, and looks like Yi's team can't stop the garbons

[katmai]

Ouch.
