From all evidence, Baptists love them some football. So, here’s a place to talk about the pigskin explosion that will take place in the next couple of weeks. I think there 327 bowl games to be played. Plus, we approaching week 17 of the NFL season and the playoffs will be set.
So, here’s a forum for that discussion. CB will be the unofficial traffic cop and chief smack-talker for this forum.
And, please, we don’t need any sanctimonious, “football is idolatry” comments.
Two things we all agree on.
1) The rematch for the BCS championship is a sham and an abomination. LSU ought to be going against the Cowboys of Okie State. Amen?
2) We all want the Iowa Hawkeyes to smite the evil Sooners of OK. Can I get a witness?
I found someone who can explain the game to any readers who have no clue. Enjoy:

L’s,
That is excellent. I remember that one from my younger days. “Big Orange Drinks” became a best seller at football stadiums all over the Southland for a while after that one got into circulation.
The rematch with LSU and Alabama is really just the second half of the greatest game of the century. Yes, I know normal football games last 4 quarters, but this is an eight quarter game. The two greatest teams in the nation deserve more than 4 quarters for their game. And college football fans deserve the extra time to gaze upon the glory that is Crimson Tide football. Besides, Alabama is God’s favorite. It says so in the Baptist Hymnal. “Dark is the stain that we cannot hide. What can avail to wash it away? Look! There is flowing a… Read more »
AMEN and ROLL TIDE!
Delusional, you guys.
It’s a Crimson Tide nation. It’s a Crimson Tide planet.
I assumed the hymn was in reference to the woman who had been bleeding for twelve years (“crimson tide”, dark stain, what gets blood out before the days of bleach?). ;P
Amen to point #1.
Boo, Hiss to point #2.
Joe,
I just read your comment. I have to agree with Frank on point #2.
What, about Alabama being God’s favorite??
That team would be THEE BAYLOR BEARS!
Dave,
Football does have some very strange twists in it. The match up between Iowa and Oklahoma in the Insight Bowl will find me on your side of the field doing my best BUZZARD-EYE cheer.
Go BUZZARD-EYES GO,
TO TEMPE, ARIZON-O,
STOMP THEM SOONERS, YO,
SEND ‘EM BACK TO OKLAHOM-O
Here is another one:
BUZZARD-EYE, BUZZARD EYE,
HEAT IT UP, ROLL IT UP,
MAKE A BUZZARD-EYE PIE,
HIT A SONNER WITH IT, HIT S SONNER WITH IT,
MAKE HIS MOMMA CRY.
Ok State in championship? You’ve had too much festivity my man. Bama and LSU are leagues ahead of OK State. SEC rules!
Liberal.
Leagues (unit of distance) away are not the same thing as leagues ahead, though from this Northerner’s perspective the further you get away from the South the more ahead you probably are thus the Sooners are probably a league or two ahead of LSU and Bama. >;-)
As would be expected, the MISSOURI TIGER NATION hamstrung the TAR HEEL NATION with a constant growl and bite throughout the game. The Independence Bowl belongs to the TIGER NATION by a score of 41-24. The youngsters from the Show-Me-State get initiated into the ranks of the SEC after this season. A friend asked me today what that will mean for the SABANATION. My response was simple, yet profound: The noise level will increase with the newly added growls and hisses from a new litter of kittens….and it will make a bigger mess for the Zoo Keepers to clean up… Read more »
Tim G.???? In the words of Tim Rogers to you from his Christmas rant post where he beat on me for hanging out with the Presbyterians: “Where have you been?” I have not heard from your Tennessee Volunteer self in a ‘coon’s age? But you do come through well nonetheless. You are right. The Little League Football boys from the COWBOY NATION just do not have the stamina to run with the big Dogs, Gators, Tigers, Wildcats, Fightin’ Poultry, Hogs, and such as live in the SEC, and especially can they not even look upon the terror to behold if… Read more »
ON WISCONSIN!!!
Hey Sports Fans! Today brings us the Little Caesars Bowl in Detroit, MI – or the IF GENERAL MOTORS HAD TAKEN LESSONS FROM LITTLE CAESARS THEY WOULD NOT HAVE NEEDED A BAILOUT BOWL between Purdue and Western Michigan. A second Bowl Game is on later today. In Charlotte, North Carolina, that great banking stronghold of the Southeast, we have for your Bowl Game watching pleasure: The Belk Bowl – or the WITH ALL THE BANKS WE HAVE IN THIS CITY WHY IS IT THE BELK BOWL? between Louisville and North Carolina State. Sports Fans, I realize the pickins are slim… Read more »
May the putrid purple and gold be swallowed in a sea of crimson. Amen.
Jason,
Just as sure as the mythical prince who shares your name came back with the Golden Fleece, the Crimson Elephant will bring back to the SABANATION the Purple and “Golden” hide of the Louisiana State Swamp Lizard.
01-09-12 is the biggest day in all the FOOTBALL UNIVERSE and even Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi would know why. Nonetheless, 01-01-12 is a big day for the Pro-Ranks of the FOOTBALL UNIVERSE. The Denver Broncos, lead by Tim Tebow, are looking for their first AFC West title since 2005. Can they beat former quarterback Kyle Orton and his Kansas City Chiefs on New Year’s Day? Tim had better be up for this one. Orton is primed for this one and Tim needs this one to truly establish himself in the minds of many folks in Denver. So settle down… Read more »
Po’ Ol’ CB, What type of mind altering substance have you been partaking of the holiday season? Maybe you found some dried weeds to start your bbq fire with or you used wood that had poison ivy growing on it? I called Narlins today and Zatarains assures me that their voodoo high priest has adjusted their crawfish boil just right to be real tasty to use on that poor ol’ pink elephant you keep braggin on, said it makes the toughest elephant as tender as a freshly killed santaria sacrificed chicken. And the high priest down the street at Dixie… Read more »
Jake Ole Buddy, I have to admit that Louisiana food is possible the best food on earth other than Alabama B-B-Q or maybe Memphis B-B-Q or Maybe Texas B-B-Q or maybe any State’s B-B-Q except the TAR HEEL NATION Vinegar-Q, which is awful, just awful! I also admit that I have had a lot of Zatarains crab, crawfish, and shrimp boil in these last several days trying to keep up with the right Man-Food to complement the various Bowl games. So my mind may be a tad altered. Yet, be assured, in or out of my mind, I still know… Read more »
Requisite Stick-in-the-mud post.
WHO DAT? and Geaux Tigers!
😉
By the way Bro Joe McKeever posted his 1975 Superbowl Sunday sermon over on his blog. It’s a fun read.
Hey Sports fans! Today’s Bowl Game offerings are rather slim. We have the Holiday Bowl-or the IF THE TICKETS ARE FREE IS THE ONLY REASON TO GO TO THIS ONE BOWL between California and Texas. We also have the Military Bowl-or the WHY IS TOLEDO IN THE MILITARY BOWL WITH AIR FORCE RATHER THAN THE MARINE CORP BOWL? I realize the Marine Corp is within the Dept. of the Navy. Nonetheless, it would be a cool game to see Marines playing Airmen in a football game. We have the Army-Navy Game. For the sake of public relations, why not a… Read more »
I’ll read through everyone else’s comments later, but Dave, you’re right: LSU should be stomping out of the SEC, as should Bama. Then, they would finish the year 1-2 as they rightly deserve and the junior football schools would not have grounds to whine about the real football schools playing each other.
Liberal!!!
🙂 🙂
Doug Hibbard is a hero.
One thought Doug,
This may be the only year that an SEC team loses the National Championship. From now on the cry-babies may make us play one of the Lesser nations for the Championship.
As long as they drop the two-team limit in the top-tier bowls, they can make the SEC West play whomever they’d like to. Then our guys can beat two or three other conferences instead of having to play each other.
Dave, such name-calling. A true liberal would have arranged for counseling for the deer yesterday who saw one of their fellow deer gunned down in the prime of life. A liberal wouldn’t have just shot him for standing there looking at the dead deer.
Hey Sports Fans! 01-09-12 is getting closer and the air is becoming electric with anticipation. Toledo beat Air Force yesterday. Sorry Airmen, but you gambled and lost by going for two.Your warrior DNA came out rather than football savvy. But that is due to good old Air Force grit and steel, so we are proud of you anyway. Texas beat California in the Holiday Bowl, but who cares. Tonight we have the Champs Sports Bowl between Florida State and Notre Dame. A proper name for this Bowl would be the: WE DON’T CARE WHO PLAYS THEM AS LONG AS THEY… Read more »
Agreed. I saw some clips of RG3 on the field, and heard some stories of him off the field and agree that he’s a great QB and sounds like a great kid as well.
Yikes. I’ve come to calling college students “kids.” Must be aging.
Doug Hibbard,
Yeah, it is an epiphany when that happens the first time.
Take a deep breath and let it out slowly. A whole bunch of other stuff is about to start happening to you also. Aging is a strange new adventure.
CB, And then on 01/02/2012 @ 7:35 PM CST we will have the National Chapionship Bowl game live from Glendale Arizona featuring THE OSU and some poor left coast team from “the peoples republic of california”. Of course, I understand that in your deluded state of mind, you believe that the “unwashed bowl” game between those ragin’ cajuns from the swamps and those filthy playing in the red tide elephants is for the national championship but in your heart of hearts, you know that it is just a rerun of a previous game in which your ol’ redneck ‘bamans lost.… Read more »
Jake Barker, My dear friend, the SABANATION is not going to lose that game. You know it. I know it. All the FOOTBALL UNIVERSE knows it. Deep down in his heart Les Miles knows it. St. Nick is the best there is. That is why we pay him so well. That is why the very best high school FOOTBALL players in the whole FOOTBALL UNIVERSE dream of playing for the Crimson Tide under the great St. Nick. Alabama is FOOTBALL. I just got back shortly ago from visiting a retirement home where some of our church members live. In the… Read more »
It doesn’t matter Jake, because Alabama is FOOTBALL.
Can you hear it Jake? I can! It is ROLL TIDE ROLL!!
Love ya, wish you could be here for the game. 🙂
CB,
I’ll have a good seat in front of the big screen, Dixie beer in hand watching the cajuns boil those pink elephants till they turn crawfish red. How are crows fixed these days, I know that is what you will be having ;=)
In just a couple of hours the Baylor Bears will get to do something they have rarely done and probably never will again. Therefore, I want to say something to some of you fellows that are out there in the Baptist blog world who I know went to Baylor: Wade Burleson, Bart Barber, Ben Cole, and Big Daddy Weave and also my Uncle Bunk, who never did blog, but went to Baylor a long time ago rather than Alabama to the shame of his entire family and his community at-large. I know you boys have not had much to be… Read more »
SIC ‘EM BEARS!!!!!
Seminoles just went ahead of the Lyin’ Irish.
GO SEMINOLES GO!!
Seminoles win!
Baylor up 6 over Washington! GO BAYLOR!
Baylor 7 zip over Wash.
Thanks Jake,
In the excitement I forgot the extra point.
Dawgs got 6. Hustle Baylor!!!
CB,
Ain’t nothin like peddling whiskey and watching a good ball game.
Jake,
If you would get a real job, you wouldn’t have to work so late. Go home. Eat something. Watch the rest of the game in comfort.
CB,
I will at 9. Only 30 more minutes. It’s a rough job but somebody has to do it 😉
Any night on which Notre Dame loses is a good night.
Question: What is the difference between Cheerios and Notre Dame? Cheerios belongs in a bowl.
Excellent. That’s doctoral dissertation material if I ever heard it.
I remember when the movie Rudy came out. The entire movie was about a guy “who wanted to play for Notre Dame.”
Some people in the theatre kept calling me down. I realized I was saying: WHY? Why? Why?
Baylor back up 14 – 7
21 to 7 GO BAYLOR!!!
RG3 strikes again. If Auburn had gotten that kid, they might have beat us again.
He ain’t that good. Can’t hold a candle to Weeden. Dang sure didn’t deserve the Heisman.
You boys play nice, I have to go home. Probation officer is waiting for me there.
Tell ’em to adjust that ankle bracelet. Keep you on the straight and narrow.
Huskies catch up. 21-21.
RG3 has to get those Baylor boys together. Penalties are hurtin’ ’em.
OK boys. It is gut check time for RG3.
He doesn’t need a gut check. He needs a defense.
Sooners will crush those poor little Iowan Pigeons…
Would it be wrong on a Baptist blog to offer a wager?
Yeah… we might have to go over to the Episcopal blog for that one…
You know if Ol’ Timmy hadn’t been a gator and now a donkey he might be a likable fellow. As is, he’s gonna get t-boned…
Go Chiefs!
It’s a good thing you are a better blogger than you are sports fan.
Have I ever mentioned, if I cheer for a baseball team it’s the KC Royals?
Says a lot, doesn’t it??? 🙂
Speaks loudly, but not well.
Gotta give me some credit… when you spend your life cheering for KC-area “pro” teams, you can’t be accused of being “fair weather”…
Heck… I even had an Elvis Grbac jersey as a teenager…
Or attending many parades. They only win when blind umpires make bad calls.
Man, I used to really hate the Royals years ago. It’s hard to remember the years when they were an annual powerhouse.
But you gotta love Kansas City Royals third baseman George Brett and his obsession with tar.
Okay… now you all are talking about stuff from when I was like 5 or 6… I have no recollection of these things…
😀
George Brett was a third baseman for the Royals back in the day. He was great. He got into it with an ump. over the amount of pine tar he had on his bat. It was big news in the sports world for quite a while.
Yeah, I know… Brett was one of my favorite players growing up… I don’t remember the pine tar thing, but I’ve heard plenty about it…
I was more making fun of your all’s ages… 🙂
Do you remember the horrible call by Don Denkinger?
Do you remember the horrible call by Don Denkinger?
If you’re referring to what I think you are… no… but it was only a horrible call if you were a cardinal’s fan! 😀
It was a horrible call if you had EYES!
And I’ve never been a huge Cardinals fan, but back then the Royals were my least favorite team – worse than the Red Sox. Yankees/Royals was pretty intense back in the day.
The Huskies are biting hard on the shanks of the Baylor Bear.
Just how good is RG3? We shall see.
If Baylor wins this game. They need to fire their defensive coaches, take their Bowl game money, come to Alabama, go to the first three high schools they see, and hire the defensive coaches. They will be in much better shape to play the game in the future.
Bears eat dawgs any day of the week!!
And tomorrow…..the Sooners pluck, draw and roast the turkey bustards from where……Iowa??? Poor turkeys.
Baylor wins the Basketball Score Bowl 67-56.
Jake,
For the rest of the night I have to practice a foreign language: GO IOWA GO!
I may have it by tomorrow if I try hard. Go IOWA GO, GO IOWA GO.
That just don’t have a ring to it does it?
I could just say, CHOKE SOONER CHOKE. Yeah, that’ll work!
WOOT! for my Baylor Bears.
Hey Sports Fans!
Baylor won and Greg Buchanan is happy. RG3 pulled it out. No doubt the kid is good. He deserved the Heisman. He has played without a defense all season. If he goes pro he will have a new experience in having a defense to help him out. Florida State beat the Lyin’ Irish and all the rest of the FOOTBALL UNIVERSE is happy.
Hey Sports Fans! Today is 12-30-11. 01-09-12 is not far away. But today we have 4 Bowl Games. First is the Armed Forces Bowl – or the TULSA IF YOU EVER DID ANYTHING RIGHT BEAT BRIGHAM YOUNG BOWL between, yeah, you guessed it, Brigham Young and Tulsa. Next is the Pinstripe Bowl – or the THIS IS IN HONOR OF BABE RUTH BOWL between Iowa State and Rutgers. Later there is the one that brings up horrible memories for me because I sat in the freezing cold and watched VT beat Bama in this one several years ago. I still… Read more »
Can you imagine the uproar if Lifeway sponsored a bowl game enough to get it named after them?
Yikes. You don’t have to be Ed Stetzer to research the problems with that one.
Doug Hibbard, I think you are on to a good idea. We should write to Ed Stetzer, Mark Scott and Thom Rainer and ask them to think about allowing Ed to do the research to see how many Southern Baptists would be willing for LifeWay to underwrite a Bowl Game. I promise you the whole Rainer family would vote for it. Every Scott, in Mark’s family of Scotts family of Scotts would vote for it. I am pretty positive the Stetzer clan would vote for it. Every Southern Baptist in Alabama would vote for it…..maybe twice. The other SEC NATIONS… Read more »
Maybe it should only feature teams from Baptist schools?
Can you imagine how quickly Chuck Kelley would get Drew Brees to enroll for a class or two at NOBTS? 🙂
Boy, that would start some blogging discussion.
At least they’d be able to claim no CP funds were used, since Lifeway is self-sufficient.
Maybe with the Guidestone Financial Halftime Show?
Doug Hibbard,
If we called it the Guidestone-LifeWay Bowl, we could use part of the gate to help retired guys who had that poor pension plan from the old days.
That concept alone would garner votes in Ed’s Bowl Poll. All the old guys would say: Yes! Let’s Play Some Football!
So, Baylor had 777 yards of offense last night. Is there some spiritual significance to that number?
If that yardage had been gained by Samford? Yes. Baylor????? No.
Playing football in Yankee Stadium just doesn’t seem right.
How do they avoid tripping over the pitcher’s mound?
They felt the stadium needed purified. 🙂
There is no way to purify Yankee stadium. Not.Possible.
A-MEN!
Mississippi 23 – Wake Forest 17
SEC 1 – Rest of FOOTBALL UNIVERSE 0
If you count Missouri: SEC 2 – Rest of FOOTBALL UNIVERSE 0
Now let’s see if the BUZZARD-EYES can beat the evil SOONER NATION.
Somebody please send Iowa an email explaining to them that this is a Bowl Game. This is not a backyard game with your little sister.
You are playing the Oklahoma Sooners. They are evil. You have to hit them hard. You have to wrap up. You have to breakdown and make good tackles. You are not playing Slippery Rock. This is Oklahoma. Wake Up!!
I think Sooners playing sucks. No wonder THE OSU beat the stuffing out of them.
Sorry CB,
Sooners are “girly men”. THE OSU players are evil and mean and beat the snot out of the opposition!
It appears that Iowa turkey bustards are about in the same class as the sooners. Come on SOONERS, pluck the turkey bustards.
SOONERS! 24-14
Correction CB,
SOONERS 31-14
And I bet you are happy John. I just bet you are. 🙂
Hey Sports Fans! We probably will not hear from Dave Miller today. Iowa dropped the ball last night. Literally, the dropped the ball last night several times. This could have been a year when the SOONER NATION would sit in silence until next fall. But Noooo. Iowa choked for four whole quarters. Oh well. We’ll get through it. Today we have five Bowl Games. We have the: Meineke Car Care Bowl between Northwestern and Texas A&M, Sun Bowl between Georgia Tech and Utah, Liberty Bowl between Cincinnati and Vanderbilt, Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl between Illinois and UCLA, and the Chick-fil-A… Read more »
Well, what were you expecting… that’s how the story goes: good triumphs over evil… 😀
Mike Bergman,
If Dave was going to come out of his man-cave today, you just drove him back in! 🙂
Hey, I was actually encouraged that the Hawks didn’t completely stink up the world last night. They actually had the ball with a chance to tie in the 4th quarter. Most of us figured they’d lose 48-7 or something like that.
I blustered in hopes of an upset, in which I could have really nailed a few of you.
On the other hand, this is a sinful and wicked world, and in such a world, evil sometimes prevails. And the Stoopsers are certainly on the dark side.
Does that come off as bitter?
Poor Davey,
Stoops just held the SOONERS back a little. He is a gentleman and did not want to embarass his alma mater so bad that he would get black listed.
Vandy could not pull it off, but Texas A&M did.
SEC NATIONS 3 – REST OF THE FOOTBALL UNIVERSE 1
Now we shall see if Auburn makes it 4. GO AUBURN GO!!
BTW Dave, glad to see you out of the cave. 🙂
You can’t claim A&M yet.
http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/374781_2922390826856_1473390310_33004662_1087452197_n.jpg
Follow my link above and you’ll see a photo of me with a famous President who is obviously a Texas Longhorn fan. When I asked him what he thought about A & M seceding from the Big 12, he seemed very displeased and his expression turned grim!!
No, but A&M and Missouri passed their SEC entrance exams. And soon, we shall see if Bama or LSU joins Vandy as the only SEC teams to lose their Bowl games!
He also got kinda bent out of shape when Alveraz Kelly stole some Yankee cattle out from under him down in Texas and sold them to the Confedrate Army. He threatened to dismantle the SEC even then.
Now his birth state is in the SEC. We rule the FOOTBALL UNIVERSE! Of course, his home state SEC NATION is not in a Bowl Game. But that is OK. If we took over everything, the guy from Chicago would try to dismantle us also.
BTW, Sports Fans,
SEC’s AUBURN is puttin’ a stomp down on the ACC’s VIRGINIA NATION.
The SEC is just too much for the ACC to comprehend.
GO AUBURN GO!!
Hey CB, I’m originally from north-central WV, about 20 miles from your boy Saban’s hometown. I’ve got a little bit of football trivia for you. The Harrison and Marion County area of north central WVa is not nationally known as a football hotbed, but check out who this small area (about 100,000 total pop.) has produced: Joe Stydahar (Shinnston, WV) pro football hall of fame Frank Gatski (Farmington, WV) pro football hall of fame Sam Huff (Farmington, WV) pro football hall of fame John McKay (Shinnston, WV) legendary coach of USC and TB Bucs Nick Saban (Monongah, WV) you know… Read more »
SEC NATIONS 4 – REST OF FOOTBALL UNIVERSE 1
Monday will bring more.
What a great Bowl season for the SEC….but what did you expect?
SEC, SEC, SEC, SEC!! And yet, we are so humble, other FOOTBALL NATIONS thank us when we beat ’em. They say it makes them better for the experience. Bless their little hearts.
And the only SEC loss was to the Big East, no less!
Jim G.

I lived in those mountains for 20 years. There are some very good football players from those mountains. The sons of coal miners are tough by birth.
Can Tim Tebow and the Broncos seal the deal today by beating the Kansas City Chiefs? Sure hope so. We’ll see.
This we do know: 01-01-12 will be another National Championship for the SEC. And we are all cheering for the S…….well, all you Sports Fans know the rest. Right?
That should be 01-09-12. Too much Auld Lang Syne last night. But I sure do love that song.
Anyway, ROLL TIDE ROLL!!
Well, I think this is the first time I have ever said these words, but:
GO CHARGERS!
Tebow could not pull it off today. I do think Fox should have let him throw the football more, but an armchair is not a sideline, so maybe he had a good reason…..maybe.
Hey Sports fans! Tomorrow will bring for us 6 Bowl Games. I will address them all tomorrow in order to increase your knowledge and love for the game, and to help you ‘all’ come to a better appreciation of the SEC and its Flagship Nation, the Crimson Tide. At the moment, I want to say something profound about one of the Bowls tomorrow wherein one of the Nations playing in it seems to think it should be playing for the National Championship. Yes, you’re right. I am in reference to the Little Cowpokes of Oklahoma State. Here is an expert,… Read more »
Hey Sports fans! Today is a big Bowl Game day. So hit that treadmill early so all that Man-Food will not still be with you when baseball season starts. For you SEC fans, the day should be a good one for you. But first we have the TicketCity Bowl – or for all you old Beatles fans, the SHE’S GOT A TICKET TO RIDE BOWL between Houston and Penn State. Then the SEC takes the field again in the Outback Bowl – or the WHY DIDN’T THEY CALL THIS THE BLOOMIN’ ONION BOWL? BOWL between Georgia and Michigan State. GO… Read more »
For all you Little Cowpokes and Dirty Little Red Bird fans, I want to dedicate you a song fitting to your poor dispositions by that great Ella Fitzgerald entitled:
CRY ME A RIVER
“Now you say you’re lonely
You cry the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river……”
Can you hear it? I can! It is ROLL TIDE ROLL!!
CB,
You are so full of it. If I didn’t like you so much I would have the same voodoo priestess that hexed your beloved pink elephants put a curse on you. Mark these words…..pink elephants get boiled a bright crawfish scarlet and the whole village gets a nutritious meal of ….wait for it….manfood!!!
Jake,
This year I have covered all the bases. I put that Voodoo Priestess on retainer.
Hey Sports Fans!
The South Carolina Fightin’ Poultry just showed the Cornhuskers of Nebraska how a Rooster eats corn by blocking an extra point and turning it into 2 points.
GO FIGHTIN’ POULTRY GO!
BTW, The Man-Food for this Bowl game is Fried-Chicken and Corn-On-The-Cob.
By the end of this day, I may have to reconsider trying to match all these Bowl Games with corresponding Man-Food or get a treadmill that can take more weight. But ain’t Bowl Season Fun?!! Well, it is if you live in the SEC. 🙂 LOL 🙂
ROLL TIDE ROLL!!
cole slaw? Boston-baked beans with a chunk of salt pork?
German potato salad? four-tier chocolate fudge layer cake?
Anything Tex Mex ?
just a few additions to think about if you’re going to pig
L’s, That sounds like some good Man-Food eats. Send us directions to your home. We’ll bring the SEC style B-B-Q to go with that. We will wake up your Yankee neighborhood with a little SEC Mania!!
🙂
CB,
3 SEC teams are playing at once….what can we do? How can we possibly watch 3 great games at once?
DAvid 🙂
Georgia just got a safety on Mich. ST. whats with the SEC teams scoring 2 pts? lol
Speed Baby Speed! Make that: Fearless Speed Baby Speed!!
BTW, this three SEC games at once stuff is hard, but the sacrifice is worth it. I had button extenders put on my remote.
SEC, SEC, SEC!!!!
Vol,
The Fightin’ Poultry missed a 20 yarder? What is that??
In humility (lol) I have to admit, several SEC (including the Tide) NATIONS need some kickers.
We can throw, run, tackle and anything else football better than any of the Lesser Nations, but some of us need kickers.
Maybe we need to go get some of these fellows from Rugby or Soccer and convert them to real religion and make Kickers out of them.
But, the SEC do have speed. Did you see the kick return by Dubose of Florida? and the punt return by Boykin of Georgia? Then, you throw in the hail mary right before the end of the half….the one that Jeffries of South Carolina caught for a TD….Awesome stuff.
David
Yes we do have speed. And we can throw a football.
Maybe Nebraska needs to get them a Rugby or Soccer player also. Their guys just missed a 3 pointer also.
DUH Biff,
Have 3 TV’s. Gotta think ahead ;=)
CB,
Now you know why the huskers want to go to the west coast conference……they would be tops out there.
Gators chewin’ up the Buckeyes.
SEC, SEC, SEC!!
New bowl game, winners of OSU vs liberals (we know who that is going to be) VS winner of ragin cajuns vs pink elephants (and we know who that is gonna be). Sponsored by Tri-Cities Discount Beverage and Lifeway (all baptist all the time) 😉
LOL
Bless your crazy heart Jake Barker. 🙂
Georgia Bulldogs got the Little Michigan State Spartan up treed, 16-0.
SEC, SEC, SEC!!!
I dont know how South Carolina has any offense at all. I mean, they lost their starting QB during the year…kicked off; they lost their All American running back to a season ending knee injury; and now, their All American wide receiver, Jeffrey, just got kicked out of the game for fighting……the Gamecocks defense is gonna have to try to win this one.
David
The Nebraska coach is really angry. he thought he was gonna raid the hen house and got attacked by 22 Fightin’ Roosters…and a “spurred” up Big Ole Spurrier Chicken Farmer!
Jake, This joke is for you: One time, a long time ago, down in Dixie, when Penn St. was playing Alabama, Penn St. was kicking Bama bad at halftime. In the locker room, Bear Bryant told his players, “Men, you’re letting them Yankees beat you like this? the same Yankees that came down here after the war, and stole your Grandaddy’s farms; stole their money; raped your Grandmothers; and stole all the whiskey they had? Let’s get out there and show them Yankees what for!” And, the players went out of the locker room whooping and yelling…fired up. But, one,… Read more »
South Carolina and Florida win…the SEC is now 4-1 in bowl games…or 6-1 if you count Texas A&M and Missouri…lol
Go Bulldogs! Pull this one out….
Vol,
I feel that it is only honorable to say 6-1 due the brave hearts of both A&M and Missouri in coming to the SEC to rank them among us even now. It is the right thing to do. It is the honorable thing to do. It is the gracious thing to do……………and besides it makes the Lesser Conferences feel even worse when we say:
SEC NATIONS 6 – THE REST OF THE FOOTBALL UNIVERSE 1
SEC, SEC, SEC, SEC!!!!!
Bulldawgs blew it….they should’ve won that game, but couldnt make the plays to pull out the win.
SEC is now 6-2….
Vol,
It is up to the Hogs now to make it 7-2 SEC. Arkansas always plays better down in Texas. I once watched a Razorback hog whip a Wildcat on Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom hosted by Marlin Perkins.
Surely they can do it again in the Cotton Bowl.
CB,
You need to watch “Call of the Wildman” on the Animal Planet channel. What a great show! It’s cracking me up bad….its all about this ole boy from Kentucky that they call the Turtleman.
David
I believe my Hogs are undefeated in Jerry World. Time for old Jones’ to pass on that semi-pro team and just be a good booster for the UA, since he built us that nice 3rd home stadium in Arlington.
Well Vol, Michigan State beat Georgia…..with a field-goal! That settles it. The SEC is going to have to go get some Rugby and Soccer players, help them pass the SAT and get them into our Nations. We have to get some Kickers. Maybe we need to go to China and get some of those High-Kickin’ Kung-Fu boys and get them over here, fatten ’em up some and put them to kickin’ footballs instead of each other in the head. If some of them get real good, they can go Pro and be much better off financially kickin’ footballs and have… Read more »
Or you go with the reality of truth that says A&M and Mizzou are both still part of the Big XII, at least for a touch longer, and thus:
So the SEC is 4-1 while the Big XII is 5-1… 😀
Mike,
But, one things for sure…the national champion will be from the SEC, once again….for the 50th straight year…or something like that…..
DAvid 🙂
And here’s to a national championship game that has a score like the Chiefs/Broncos game yesterday…
I’ll probably fall asleep for that one…
🙂
Mike,
In the South, we love great defense. We firmly believe the old adage “Offense sells tickets; defense wins championships!”
David
BTW, the Vols need a defensive coordinator. Justin Wilcox left us for Washington…you know, the team that RG III and the Baylor Bears laid 777 yards on…
Do yall know of any good ones that we could have?
David
In the Big XII we believe in having great offenses and defenses… so long as said defenses are great except for at critical junctures when they collapse and you’re left politely speaking to the tv screen, “Why are you too dumb to make any adjustments Mr. D-Coordinator?”… Sigh… Well, as a Sooner fan/alum, I am greatly looking forward to the return of Mike Stoops as co-defensive coordinator, b/c when he and Brent V. were doing it together there weren’t so many bone-headed moments, especially coming from the secondary, as there has been since he left Brent V. to do it… Read more »
Mike Bergman,
Let me let you in on a little known football secret. Being rational or ethical will get you nowhere in the SEC. It takes money, real big kids and a great imagination about entrance exams. 🙂
We got all that. Now we need some Kickers. “Cause now, thanks to poor kickin’ it is:
SEC NATIONS 6 – THE REST OF THE FOOTBALL UNIVERSE 2.
Does anybody know if Chuck Norris has any eligibility left?
No doubt, as many college President’s will allow, via comments from Knight Commission studies, D1 is the tail that wags the dog, but given the bucks these guys receive in salary and perks, they will do little to jeopardize their gravy train. Thus, when your child or grandchild says, ‘yikes, the cost,’ keep in mind our hand in increasing it with, ‘go, Vols’; ‘roll, Tide.’ Having said that, I am a ‘roll, Tide’ fan for football. Alabama players play by choice, and are more internally motivated, but Auburn players play out of necessity, with their hearts not quite in it… Read more »
A-MEN!……….I reckon.
Looks like da ducks whuped up on da swissmisses from swisconson. Don’t really care….only dawg I got in this fight is my ol yellow lab dat be retrieving me sum dead and wounded ducks.
Jake,
Your small moment of glory is squarely upon us. Good Luck.
Jake’s Little Cowpokes finally realized the game has started.
14-7 Stanford.
Half time is 0 to 0. Stanford is winded…just watch. Cowpokes can play a full 4 quarter game.
CB,
And how many hours till the pink elephant gets boiled in Zatarain’s and gets eaten????
It begins 01-09-12 at 7:30 p.m. But we both know the Elephant will not be table-fare. The Elephant will be the cook: Stewed Swamp Lizards.
BH, Let me help you a little here if you will. I been doin’ this stuff a long time, even before Al Gore invented the internet. This here is basically what you call talkin’ football smack. So don’t say no more stuff about the economic value of sports and the ultimate prostitution of academia caused thereby or any more stuff like that over here. Just talk junk. Say stuff like me, Jake Barker, Doug Hibbard, David Worley (Vol) Dave Miller and the other guys say over here. Loosen up. I know you have a wonderful education and you teach quantum… Read more »
Good thing my wife doesn’t blog……you guys wouldn’t like her spicy language.
One dasn’t profane or belittle THE OSU. She and I are both OSU grads…..meaning we earned our degrees…..not just payed tuition and received a piece of paper.
CONGRESSIONAL IGNORANCE – or – THIS IS WHY THESE GUYS CAN’T RUN THE COUNTRY “Some college football fans think the whole BCS system — which culminates Jan. 9 when No. 1 LSU takes on No. 2 Alabama — is unfair and unworkable. A Texas congressman wants to make it unlawful. Well, technically, Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas) wants a playoff system for determining a national football champion. He has once again introduced legislation to compel college football to do so. His “College Football Playoff Act” would “prohibit, as an unfair and deceptive act or practice, the promotion, marketing, and advertising of… Read more »
Cohen from TN is from a very liberal part of Memphis. That “fella” has been leading the charge for all sorts of ungodly things, and unwise things for years and years. He fought for a great number of years for TN to have a lottery and allow gambling. We now have a lottery. We dont have gambling, yet. But, Cohen has consistently done some stupid things.
So, now, he wants the US govt. to get involved in the NCAA? Wow.
David
HOW BOUT THEM COWPOKES now boys???
Jake, They came through for you. But again, we see the absence of Kickers in Division 1. Nonetheless, enjoy the victory. A win is a win. And being number 3 in the FOOTBALL UNIVERSE even though you are not in the SEC, well that is a big accomplishment. Actually, that makes the OSU NATION number 1 in among the Non-SEC FOOTBALL UNIVERSE. (I picked up that “Non” thing from the Calvinism posts. It sounds just as silly here don’t it.) 🙂 Well done OSU. Next year maybe, just maybe, you can play the Tide for the Big One. Or one… Read more »
CB,
I really am feeling sorry for you. We both know your pink elephant is playing a rerun with those swamp boys. Someone is going to lose (boiled elephant anyone?)……the losers are going to be #3 in the final rankings #2 is going to be the winners and of course #1 is going to be THE OSU!!!!
CB, We played a classy game. We gave them 4 count them FOUR whole quarters to beat us…..then gave them chance to draw first blood for the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. They failed…choked up….count it 2…TWO times. Then we decided to end it…put them out of their misery. So we made a touchdown….a touchdown that was called back by the best refs from that SEC (seriously ego challenged) conference. So instead of choking we kicked and won on national TV…kicked and won in front of everbody in the football universe. But in victory even I can be generous…..good luck next Monday night… Read more »
Well Sports Fans,
It has been a good day of Bowl Season football. I am sure all of you have had some good food and good football.
Tomorrow, we only have one Bowl Game: the Cotton Bowl. But the Man-Food is Pork B-B-Q Arkansas-Style and Reuben Sandwiches from Browne’s Irish Market & Deli in Kansas City or one as close as you can get to it if you don’t live there. So get up early and get that grill going if you haven’t already.
And remember: ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!
OSU might beat Arkansas. But, from what I saw last night, LSU and Bama would beat the Cowpokes by at least 2 TD’s.
David
Liberal!!
Hey Sports Fans! Well, as you all know, the Little Cowpokes won last night. I was down around UAB today. We have a lot of “out of state” folks who are there for medical training, etc. Obviously, many of them are from Oklahoma. (No doubt to take advantage of a good medical school, rather than learning from a witch doctor or a snake handler in the dust bowl.) The reason I say many of them are from Oklahoma, is because I saw posters around saying: “OSU #1” There were other crazy posters such as that, but I will not grace… Read more »
In a world of justice, OSU would have played in the BCS game and Alabama would have lost last night to Stanford.
Unfortunately, this world is wicked and unjust.
Dave,
I know you watch football. I know you know that Stanford plays the kind of football that Alabama eats for lunch.
Alabama would have walked all over either Stanford or OSU last night. Auburn would also have beaten either one of them last night. So would most any other SEC NATION, except maybe Vandy. We keep them because they are our cousin, the VOLUNTEER NATION’S little brother.
OSU and Stanford looked good only because they were playing each other.
Are you the one who put up the OSU#1 posters at UAB last night?
ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!
I hate it when that red tide rolls…..messes up the oysters. I think that the EPA oughta get involved.
LOL Jake Barker,
You are no Okie, you have to be a Cajun to know that! I knew you were an LSU fan spy. 🙂
The HOKIE NATION has got to get with the program or the WOLVERINE NATION is going to have a turkey dinner.
Now we got them SMOKIN’ HOKIES in the game!
GO HOKIES GO! Make those Appalachian Mountain boys proud. If the Hokies win, all across the coal fields there will be happy coal truck drivers movin’ that coal and talkin’ about the game when they get to their home service station or general store.
And those boys deserve it. They work hard for a living.
I am here in Birmingham and the Sugar Bowl is in New Orleans, but I think the HOKIE NATION just got robbed on a touchdown call.
Big Blue and Big 10 FOR THE WIN! Big 10 dominance is demonstrated once again!
The kid was robbed Dave. You know it.
But that just proves the truth of the great football parable: “Somedays you eat the bear (wolverine) and some days the bear (wolverine) eats you.”
Tonight the bear (wolverine) ate the kid’s touchdown by way of the review.
Special teams and kickers. In big games you live or die with special teams and kickers.
Kickers either go home as goats or kings. There is no in between. It is kinda like that for preachers Sunday after Sunday, except a preacher’s “goat moments” are for real life and not a game.
Anyway, sorry Virginia Mountain boys, I thought you had that one.
Hey Sports Fans!
The Michigan Wolverines got a win last night. There will now always be the debate as to the VT touchdown that was denied in review, but the win is history. The WOLVERINE NATION won.
One thing that is not debatable is that the BIG 10 win improved Dave Miller’s mood about Bowl Season. He was down and we all know why. Right?
Tonight we have the Orange Bowl – or the ALABAMA FANS ARE STILL NOT OVER NEBRASKA BEATIN’ US IN THIS ONE BACK IN ’72 BOWL between Clemson and West Virginia.
GO CLEMSON GO!
Hey Sports Fans! West Virginia blasted Clemson 70-33 last night in the Orange Bowl. it was rough all the way for Clemson. I had hoped Clemson could come through, but the Mountain Men of West Virginia had other plans. Clemson has held a special place here for us since the tornadoes of April came through our area with a vengeance. A large group from Clemson University has been staying with us in our gym and family life center and doing disaster relief work since the first part of last May. We have become well acquainted with several of the faculty… Read more »
West Virginia beat Clemson last night in the Orange Bowl 70-33! The last time a Tiger got beat that bad his wife had a golf club.
🙂
LOL Vol,
Sometimes you have an evil streak that just has to come out don’t it? 🙂
He probably posted this because I saw it on Facebook and called him sick (and Joe, who also posted it). If I was a good editor, I would delete this.
But…
I’m also upset because I forgot to post it.
lol
CB, there’s nothing wrong with cheering for a team from a lesser division. My love for the SEC Hogs does not preclude me from cheering for my Ouachita Tigers–I have no doubts that the Hog practice squad would likely roast my beloved OBU Tigers on a spit.
Likewise, cheering for an ACC team in a scrimmage like last night.
Doug,
I did cheer for Clemson. I just refused to wear the jersey. Several of the folks here in our church did wear the jerseys and tried to get me to also, but I could not bring myself to such a compromise as a Sabanite. I wore my Crimson Tide sweatshirt as always when watching FOOTBALL, especially in Bowl Season. However, I did drink an Orange Crush to show my compassion for my new friends from Clemson.
Tonight is the Cotton Bowl between Arkansas and Kansas State. This is one we have been waiting for. Why? Because:
On September 11, 1913 the greatest FOOTBALL COACH who ever lived was born in Fordyce, Arkansas. His name was Paul William “Bear” Bryant.
For this reason, all Sabanites have a kindred spirit with the RAZORBACK NATION. Now that the RAZORBACKS are part of the SEC, the bond is even greater.
Therefore, throughout the SEC tonight we unite with:
Allright all you Razorback Fans, Lets Stand Up and Call Those Hogs!”
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
PIG!
SOOIE!
RAZORBACKS!
It looks like the SEC is going to get another win.
Allright all you Razorback Fans, Lets Stand Up and Call Those Hogs!”
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
PIG!
SOOIE!
RAZORBACKS!
SEC, SEC, SEC, SEC, SEC!!
Arkansas win!
The SEC has risen to the occasion once again.
The Hogs have brought the Cotton Bowl Trophy to the SEC Trophy Room.
WOO! PIG!! SOOIE!!!
The SEC once again shows it’s dominance over the NCAA football world. The SEC is 5-2 in bowl games this year, with 2 SEC teams playing each other in the National Championship game. So, the SEC had 9 out 12 teams in bowls…will win 6 games in the bowls…and will have the National Champion for the 6th year in a row! Can we say DOMINANCE!
Also, the SEC has 2 teams joining the SEC next year, who went to bowl games this year….Texas A&M and Missouri.
Wow.
SEC = Seriously Ego Challenged 😉
Being at Legion Field today for the BBAV Compass Bowl between Pitt and SMU brings back memories. Legion field was the first place I saw the Crimson Tide play long ago as a kid. It is a great old field with great football tradition. SMU rolled over Pitt 28-6 and dominated the whole game. The atmosphere was that of a Bowl Game with the addition of one thing. I heard “Roll Tide” come from people all over the stadium. There were more Alabama caps, hats, shirts and jackets than there were of both SMU and Pitt together. That just goes… Read more »
First Comment: TIMMY!! TIMMY!!!
Second Comment: Why do coaches continue to go to that silly three-man rush during the two-minute drill? Denver is shutting down Pittsburgh and then goes to that stupid three man rush and boom-boom-boom, Pittsburgh is in position to score.
A bad snap bailed them out, but I still say its stupid to go into that three man rush.
1 guy-Tebow won with a pass in overtime.
2 guy-But I thought he could not pass?
1 guy-Well, that’s right.
2 guy-What does that mean? “Well, that’s right”
1 guy-It means he can’t pass. What do you think it means?
2 guy-Who said he could not pass?
1 guy-Some guys he beat by passing.
2 guy- that’s lame.
1 guy-right.
2 guy- Anybody else say he can’t pass?
1 guy- Some guys who used to pass, but could not win.
2 guy- Oh, now it makes perfect sense.
1 guy- What makes perfect sense?
2 The reason Tebow can’t pass.
Don’t go overboard. Tebow was 10-21 passing. 30% of his passes – and 2/3rds of his yards – were deep routes to a wide open Demaryius Thomas, one of the easiest plays for a QB to make in football. Denver is still running a very simple, limited passing offense with Tebow that doesn’t even pretend to run a diversity of routes or attack the whole field, and Tebow benefited greatly in this game from all the many injuries that the Steelers had on defense, injuries which forced the Steelers to concentrate all their efforts on stopping the run and taking… Read more »
Tim Tebow is the greatest quarterback in NFL history – that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
Tim Tebow was not a “Southern Baptist” missionary kid. The BTEA was started as an independent missionary organization. He played QB in a public high school. He was a wining QB there. He played in the SEC. He was a winning QB there. He is now a winning QB in the NFL. Thus far he has been a winning QB in every arena in which he has played the game. Yes he was home schooled. His mother was completely competent to teach him, as she did his four siblings. They have done well also. You state, “30% of his passes… Read more »
All over the great state of Alabama, Sabanites are getting home from evening worship. They are putting on crimson pajamas, sweatshirts, and baseball caps. They are checking their cable bill to make sure it is paid in full and their service will not lapse. They are checking the frig to make sure the Man-Food is ready for the grill, oven or stove top. They have their game clothes laid out. Each member of the family has his or hers and it has been approved by the chief Sabanite of the household. They will sleep a little late tomorrow, because the… Read more »
Be nice to Alabamans today, folks. We all know that they should not even be in this game, but after the pounding they will take from the Tigers, the Bama folks will be so depressed, they will need our help, our support, our sympathy.
Listen, CB, there’s always next year.
I know Dave. Next year it will be 15.
ROLL TIDE!
Tebow! Tebow passed for 316 yards, as the Broncos defeated the Steelers. That’s 3…16. Coincidence? I think not!
David 🙂
I love Thom Rainer, a fellow Sabanite and a fine guy all around.
He is running a give away over at his blog for the BAMA- Swamp Lizard game.
Can you hear it? I can! It is ROLL TIDE ROLL!!
Well as much as I think ‘bama has no business playing in this game… I very much dislike LSU and their coach (from his Okie State days)…
Therefore, choosing between the lesser of two weevils… Roll Tide!
Mike Bergman,
The SABANATION is very “inclusive.” 🙂
Welcome aboard.
Grabb yourself some B-B-Q off the grill. There are baked beans, ‘tater salad, Golden Flake ‘tater chips, Cokes and Red Diamond Sweet Tea, a Big Ole Red (Crimson) Velvet Cake on the table along with some Zeiglers Cold-Cuts of you ain’t a B-B-Q eater. If you want something else, we can probably dig it up or kill it before the game starts.
Pull your cap down hard and get ready. It’s ROLL TIDE ROLL!!
CB,
For the life of me I can’t see any reason whatsoever that anybody would want to be included……just you rooting for bama makes me want to separate and be exclusive….but don’t feel bad I want to exclude sooners too.
I heard those cajun boys had filed to razor sharpness the alligators teeth and the claws of that there tigger. I sure feel sorry for that poor ol pink elephant…..gut cut by a gator and back shredded by the tigger…..is that what one calls “pulled elephant” 😉
Thus far St. Nick has won all the press conferences hands down over the Swamp Lizard coach. That’s a good sign.
ROLL TIDE ROLL!!
Nick Saban is a miracle worker. He has done something that is almost impossible to do. He’s made me cheer for LSU.
Dave,
Nick Saban is a greater miracle than you realize. He created the LSU you now cheer for.
ROLL TIDE!!
I only hope that the team that wins is the team whose scandals will come to the forefront sooner so that it will be stripped of the title most quickly!!!
Does that come across as bitter? I sure hope not.
Scandals? What scandals could there be?
We are not talking about Olympic Swimmers or Female Figure Skaters here Dave. We are talking about two (count them, 2) SEC NATIONS.
All SEC players are chosen for their high moral character first and their athletic ability third, right after their academic standings of course.
Wake up, CB. You drifted off there for a minute. Not sure where you were, but you were snoring. Looked like you were having a pleasant dream, though.
Dave,
It is hard for me to believe you are the source of rumors on a blog thread.
The next thing you will be saying is that Mitt Romney is a Mormon.
Ya know…..I’m not sure but I think I would prefer a sodomite in the family rather than a sabanite. Sales have been good today…..with public opinion 2-1 LSU over po pink elephants.
Just got back from a chat with Madame Laveau and she says the pink elephants are toast……she also said to tell CB that his retainer check bounced.
Jake Barker, I don’t need her now. Eddie Lacy is not suffering form a toe injury as he was the first time we played the Swamp Lizards. Now we can run the rotation fully without fear of Richardson getting hurt. We will win this one Jake. We will win it because we do that–we win. Other nations come and go: Syracuse, Tulane, Ohio State, Nebraska, Florida State, Southern Cal. the list goes on. But Alabama is always there. Why? Because we are FOOTBALL. We are ALABAMA. We are the SABANATION. We will win tonight Jake. But don’t worry, I will… Read more »
C.B. Scott, you just stay away that voo-doo Madame Laveau!
That’s ALL you need !!!
I know it’s the time of the full moon, but REALLY.
Hey Sports Fans!
WELL HERE WE ARE!
IT IS 01-09-12!!
The food has been great and now we are about to go to war with and stomp the Swamp Lizards.
I just want to take this moment and thank all of you for your support this season. You have done well to support the SABANATION as you have. Of course, there ain’t nothin’ like supportin’ a proven winner. See you folks later and don’t forget:
ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!
Ok, half-time is over. The fifth quarter is about to start. Let’s do this!!!!!
Go Tigers!
(Not that it matters, as real college football has playoffs and a real champion. This year, the champion is the North Dakota State University Bison!)
Pink elephant……Who dat? GEAUX TIGGERS!!!!
I WANT TO DEDICATE THIS SONG TO ALL THE SWAMP LIZARDS IN LOUISIANA. BLESS YOU LITTLE HONEY BADGER HEARTS (Hit the road Les and don’t you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.) (Hit the road Les and don’t you come back no more.) What you say? (Hit the road Les and don’t you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.) (Hit the road Les and don’t you come back no more.) Woah Badger, oh Honey, you don’t seem so mean, You’re met the meanest SABANATION that you’ve ever seen. I guess if you… Read more »
Did anyone catch the Alabama-LSU game tonight? Did Alabama win?
BH,
Look southward. The sky over Alabama is lit up with fireworks. Beneath that bright Alabama sky is the number 1 FOOTBALL NATION in all the FOOTBALL UNIVERSE.
So yes BH, the SABANATION won.
The game tonight was called on account of extreme boredom and the realization that these two teams couldn’t play an entertaining game of football if they paid the players more than they already do.
Dave, The Tide Defense held LSU on their side of the field the whole game with the exception of one (1) series. It was a performance of greatness. The whole FOOTBALL NATION knows who is Number 1. The Honey Badger became B-B-Q in the second half. The LSU QB, Jordan Jefferson, will change his name to George Jefferson and open a Dry Cleaners in Lower Manhattan. Yet, has LSU played any other FOOTBALL NATION in the FOOTBALL UNIVERSE, except maybe the ARKANSAS NATION, LSU would have won by 24 points or better. Why? Because LSU is part of the SEC.… Read more »
I don’t know about the rest of you Sports Fans, but I have enjoyed this grand season of football. And it has been my good pleasure to educate you all on the finer points of the game. I’ll probably see you all in the early spring about the time MLB gets started. I have a good feeling about this coming baseball season. I have a strong feeling that the Atlanta Braves will win the 2012 World Series in a four game sweep over the New York Yankees. Yep, it is going to be a wonderful summer. It’s in the air.… Read more »
The one good thing that may come from this abomination foisted on America by the idiocy of the BCS is that the insanity of a rematch of two teams devoid of offensive skill playing for the national title may actually move people toward the idea of a playoff to determine a legitimate national championship.
I’m happy for you, CB, but this was a joke, and I think you might even admit that.
CB, your last 2 words cause me to repent of all the Bama-bashing I’ve done. While I still have trouble with the Tide, your choice of baseball teams shows you a man of true class and character.
And Dave–yep. At least the plus-one playoff system or something. That won’t be for another 2 years since the contracts are in place, but the system should change. Had LSU shredded Stanford and Bama destroyed OKState before this game, then it would have felt more legitimate. And I think they would have done so—but we’ll never know, will we?
First of all, I’m for a playoff just like the rest of NCAA football has.
Secondly, the final poll should be 1. Bama 2. LSU 3. Arkansas 4. Ooooooooklahoma State….
David
Looked like to me, LSU’s offense had spent too much time down in the quarter sucking on crawfish heads and sucking down Pat O’briens hurricanes. But then again I would like to see bamas pcup results for performance enhancing steroids. I don’t care where you look you just don’t see young men that big without hormone enhancement.
