I do gotta agree that it seems like no one has ever gotten less pleasure out of winning than Nick Saban.  But I really don't care who wins tonight, anyway.

Roll Tide Roll!

Fuck you and your Irish Hurricanes.  :mad:

I am a misanthrope. I am sad because my teams suck, and I want everyone around me to be sad. Nick Saban will continue to be miserable because he gets no joy out of anything in life. His players will be miserable because they play for Nick Saban. Their fans won't even be that happy because they seem to be winning titles every other year anyway. Also, they can be trolled about not winning the SEC, or their division, and not even being the best team in their state (lost by two scores to Auburn).

Alabama winning will produce the least amount of joy in the world. Therefore: Alabama.

Also, one of my favorite facts to remind Georgia fans is that Georgia Tech has more national titles than Georgia, and also a more recent one. A UGA win tonight will ruin that.

I think I can agree with almost all of this...

Michigan goes head-to-head with Georgia for a lot of recruits, so I don't want Georgia to win.  Recruiting against Alabama will be futile whether they win or not, so I am indifferent to them winning. 

I guess that equals "Roll.... zzzzzzz"
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

My brother lives in Georgia so I guess I have to root for them.

Fromm, the freshman QB for UGA, was committed to Alabama, but switched to UGA when Smart left Alabama to coach UGA. UGA fans are ecstatic about the guy. But when Fromm left Alabama, Alabama needed a new QB recruit. So they got Tagovailoa. Who just came off the bench to beat UGA and Fromm in the national title game.

Also, word is that before he left Alabama for UGA, Kirby Smart took a picture of Alabama's priority recruiting board. He then began showing it to recruits - "see, they say they really want you, but you are really just #15 on their list".

That may be why Saban said after the game that he has never been happier in his life (I guess the birth of his children etc aren't as important). Apparently someone asked Saban if beating Smart made the win more special, and Saban just winked at him.

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Bama should not have even been there. This is twice they were given a chance to play for the title when they did not earn it.

I mean, the idea of a playoff selection process was to pick the 4 best teams. They were 11-1, with a road loss to a quality opponent. I didn't take a comprehensive survey, but I think most of the advanced analytics rankings had them as the best team in the country at the end of the year. They are loaded with talent--almost all the guys on their team have a potential NFL future.

Need a 8 team playoffs so we can do away with the selection drama. The 5 power conference champions, Alabama (or the runner up if they won the SEC) & 2 wild cards. That way the UCF/Boise State of the year gets in.

You know berkut, you were the one that was laughing when I was talking about the Miami Hurricanes of 2000/2001 having NFL level talent and scoffing that I cited Andre Johnson as a top tier NFL talent. When I deleted all my old posts and threads, I made one exception - that thread - because I knew history would prove me right. And so it has, even if the thread got deleted.

Alabama is another team that has had NFL level talent the last few years.

NO, it did not prove you right, because it was never about whether Miami had a bunch of future NFL players on it.

Your claim was that Miami, at that time, could have competed in the NFL. That they could have taken their top 50 players, and played an NFL schedule, and been competitive.

Which was laughably stupid then, and is laughably stupid now.

That is bullshit. I didn't claim that. It is the whole reason that was talking about "aging" players. I said that because of practice time, and lack of development time, etc, that an NFL team would beat Miami, but that Miami had more talent than some of them. If you gave the Miami players time to develop - to age - they could beat NFL teams.

No, you pulled out the "aging" bullshit only after we all laughed at your ridiculous claim for a while, so now "if you aged them..." is just our short cut for your entire, idiotic, and languish history making bout of stupid.

Your claim was that Miami was so good they could play in the NFL. It's still gets a chuckle out of me.

No I didn't. I claimed that their talent was good enough to do so.

This is precisely why I deleted all the thousands of posts I made except for that thread. While I generally trolled and made myself look like an idiot, in that one thread hindsight would vindicate me, as it has.
