Super User Lund Explorer Posted January 10, 2012 Super User Posted January 10, 2012 Darn, I missed the Chumpionship Game of the Century! Maybe someday we'll see a playoff system and teams that can't get over 100 yds of offense will be on the sidelines where they belong. Quote
lsufan334 Posted January 10, 2012 Author Posted January 10, 2012 Well it sucked. Thats all i can say. They beat us in all aspects of the game. It is hard to beat a good team TWICE. Quote

Super User Root beer Posted January 10, 2012 Super User Posted January 10, 2012 Alabama's identity is to win with stifling defense and game controlling offense. Always has been, always will be. The way Alabama's linebackers dominated the game and the corners shut down the WRs from getting open, it hard to believe Oklahoma State would have a game against us...Not to mention their defense is no were near the caliber of LSU, so we'll be fine moving the ball and scoring on them. Let the hate fest begins. And I find it hilarious how in 2008 the SEC wanted a plus-1 system and EVERY major conference said no. Today, they want changes. LOL. aahahahahahaha. Remember, if you're outside the SEC, your conference's commissioner is the reason why OSU didn't play in the title game. I didn't care if Alabama played Stanford, Michigan, or whoever else, but since sportwriters' votes put us in the title game, I just roll with it. Quote
Captain Obvious Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 The point is Alabama had no business being in that game. They didn't win the SEC they lost to LSU during the season, I'm not saying OSU was better than Bama but they had the best record out of any other school outside the SEC except for Houston. So basically we got an extremely boring national title game which was won by a team who shouldn't have been there. Thank you BcS Quote

There no rules saying a team who didn't win their conference couldn't play for a title. How hard is it to grasp that? That what rules is. They didn't make it up on a whim, it always been that way. This is just first time it has happen, I think? Quote
lsufan334 Posted January 10, 2012 Author Posted January 10, 2012 Well I do believe Bama should have been there. The point of the BCS is to pair the BEST two teams together. Unfortunately only one of them showed up lastnight. I do believe the BCS needs to do a little tweaking to the system. I dont think it is fair for ther rest of college teams for two teams from same side of same conference to play in the game. I believe a +1 would have worked out wonderfully. OkSt vs Bama for spot in NC game. I believe Bama would have won that game and the way we played lastnight the outcome would have been the same. I hate to eat crow but its a Roll Tide nation right now. It sux cuz i live in Bama and have to hear this crap for another 10 months. Quote

At least you guys will get a huge chunk of your defense back and all of your running backs, right? Meanwhile, we got replace a lot of people on defense, and find a new offense coordinator. Might as well enjoy the fun, because next season going to be dreadful with growing pain. Quote
Bass_Fanatic Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Im a huge LSU fan, but Bama won that won fair and square. There is no doubt that the 2 best teams were in the NC game. Although LSU didnt even show up for the game last night, there is no denying that they deserved a spot in the game. Although Bama got beat by LSU in the regular season, they were the clear cut #2 team in the country. Bama would have rolled on OK St. or Stanford by 3 TD's. Bama's offense and LSU offense/defense/special teams averaged 35+ ppg besides when they played each other. Just shows how great the 2 defenses were. Better enjoy the next 10 months Tide fans, cuz LSU returns 8 defensive players and I think 9 offensive! Quote
shootermcbob Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 I don't think anyone can say..."this team would have beaten that team" or Bam would have beaten OSU. Everyone is entitled to their own OPINION, but because one person feels that way does not make it fact. The best way to decide is to play the games....in a playoff format. THen the winner will truly be nat'l champs. I do think Alabama deserved to be there, losing only to the best team in college football all year long in OT. I was surprised not that Alabama's defense shut down LSU's offense, but that Alabama's offense ran up almost 400 yards against a VERY good LSU defense. Oh well, now we can all look forward to next year. Quote
CAdeltaLipRipper Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 I wanted alabama to win and oh my god they showed lsu who the dominant team was.geez lsu could do nothing Quote

lsufan334 Posted January 11, 2012 Author Posted January 11, 2012 he was @ the game so he might not have recovered from bourbon st yet. Its ok Sam I got ya back buddy. GEAUX TIGERS!!!! Quote
Captain Obvious Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 My point about Bama wasn't because I didn't think the two best teams weren't playing but rather two teams from the same division where playing for a championship. I mean every other sport has it so that the best teams from each conference get to duke it out against each other a the winner gets to play for a championship. This year it was like " We will just forget about the other conferences and let the SEC have two championship games". LSU had already won the SEC championship so why make them replay it? Its like an NBA playoffs with only a western playoff series, what happen to the eastern teams? Its like having two NFC teams playing for a super bowl, what happen to the AFC? The problem wasn't that a few teams didn't get picked to play in the national championship this year, whole conferences got snubbed. So that means all those fans in that those conferences had no interest in that game what so ever. Like I said it was just plan bad all around. Quote
Ima Bass Ninja Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 I think if they just changed the way the conferences were set up and then let the 2 best conference champions play for the national title it would solve alot of issues. It was very clear that Alabama and LSU were the best 2 teams in there conference and should have played each other for their conference title not the National Championship...... Also on a side note i heard last night on a news cast that the BCS is already looking to change the system and may be going to a conference champions playoff system Quote
Super User Root beer Posted January 11, 2012 Super User Posted January 11, 2012 I think it was Sam that made that old joke on page one of this thread. (which i've heard before with various of teams inserted.) Here a rebuttal: Breaking News: The LSU team is stuck in New Orleans. Apparently a 50 yard line was placed in front of the team's bus. Quote

So basically we got an extremely boring national title game which was won by a team who shouldn't have been there. Thank you BcS So a team that loses to Iowa State deserves to be in the NC more than a team that only lost to the #1 undefeated team by a field goal in overtime? I have to disagree with that one. and by your logic, as far as best records, what makes you choose OK State instead of Houston? or Boise State for that matter? They each only lost one game as well.

Captain Obvious Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Hey Dan did LSU looked like the belong in that game at all? And thanks for bringing that up how do we know we know which is better out of OSU, Houston, Bama, or Bosie State? Go ahead and talk about strength of scheduler and who lost to who and blah blah blah. This is sports anything can happen. Even the best teams loose games they shouldn't and one of the things that make sports great is when the little guy takes out the big guy. Think of some of the greatest moments in sports (USA vs. Russia in Olympic hockey) or (Texas Western vs. Kentucky Basketball 1966) these where truly great games because the team that had no business being there won. Sure on paper Bama was unstoppable, so where the Miami Heat in the 2011 NBA finals and look what happen. The only reason I had OSU was because with the BCS system they where the only other team who had a chance who also matched Bama's record. I just want to point out that I am taking nothing away for Bamas team or fans. I don't doubt Bama played there heart out and they beat LSU fair and square. I'm just saying that you guys got a second lease on life because some media guys voted for you, which seems like a lame way to get into a National Title game and why the BCS is ********. OSU, Houston, and Boise State won their conferences and becasue of that deserved to be the only teams eligible to play again'st LSU in a Nation Title game. Capt.O 2 Quote

Every year its the same thing. The system is broke and needs to be fixed. Which hopefully they are fixing to do. Quote
Super User Lund Explorer Posted January 11, 2012 Super User Posted January 11, 2012 Did anyone else notice that the final AP poll shows that one clueless bozo actually gave LSU a 1st Place vote? Quote
lazeebum Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Follow D 2's format. They have conference championships and then regional. Quote
Super User Sam Posted January 12, 2012 Super User Posted January 12, 2012 I attended the game and Alabama was by far the superior team. George Jefferson of LSU either was on drugs, laid a bet the wanted to win or just his ordinary incompentant self. General Lee did not play as he may be on academic probation as he stopped going to class after his girlfriend left him. At least that what was being said in NOLA so Miles had to stick with George. Bad move. I had a fantastic time in NOLA. The highlight was meeting with three of the New Orleans Mafia's Wise Guys. Their stories about the mob were funny and we must have been with them for near two hours. Have a great shot of me, my friend Ronnie and the three guys. One was an enforcer and he looked like a WWF wrestler. One was a bank robber and highway man who robbed banks and jewelry stores. The third was the best. A real Wise Guy for the Gambino family. The all worked for the New Orleans Mafia, which is long gone, and their take on why President Kennedy was killed was amazing. The knew all the players; who gave the OK; and why. But that is for another time to discuss. The French Quarter was rocking. If you have never been to the French Quarter try to go, especially during an event like the Sugar Bowl or Mardi Gras. I have seen just about everything you can think of in the Quarter so be ready to see some things that you don't share with your preacher. The Alabama and LSU people got along beautifully. No fights or arguments. Just a lot of Roll Tide and Geaux Tigers. The food was fantastic, too. I had two roast beef poboys. The best was from Serio's. Outstanding! And an oyster loaf at The Harbor in Kenner was one of the best I have ever enjoyed. We sat in the Beau Rivage's Superdome Suite and had some good food, too, but nothing like the oyster loaf and poboys. Probably last trip to NOLA other than for family funerals and weddings. I would like to go back and do some fishing if possible. Best fishing in the world is in Louisiana, especially for bass and redfish. And crabbing is fun, too. Other than LSU playing like a high school team, the trip was fantastic!!!!!! Everyone have a great New Year and I hope you catch your personal best in 2012. Quote
