2011 SEC Football (Home of 7 of 13 BCS Championships including the last 5)

[The Insider]

Enough of the "real football" hyperbole. The SEC ain't the end all, be all, of college football.

You guys might like to think so, in your southern sheltered lives. But there's a WHOLE wide world out there besides the south.

regardless of their bowl records? and OOC records? I think they prove on the field year in and year out why they are the conference to beat in the ncaa..

...Congrats LSU. Good game.

Thanks Smith. That's the classiest post I've seen tonight. I appreciate it.

Nice game... pins and needles the whole game. Hated that they kept Jefferson in the game. He is worthless with him trying to win the game by himself.

I am sure we will see the highlights about honey badger hurting alabamas player. But won't see where alabama punched honey badger in the face before halftime.

No matter what happened to Mathieu beforehand, that was a dumbass play on his part and could've been costly in a game this tight. You not only need to use your talent, but you need to use your head in big games like this.

I think the SEC has proven over the past several years, that when it comes to football, the South and the SEC in particular, simply puts a better product on the field. Not trying to be arrogant or mean in saying that. It is simply the truth, and is backed up by fact and on field results.

No problem bud. LSU has a fantastic team, and it was a good game.

I do however have to pull for the hogs against yall. Nothing personal, lol, it simply benefits bama for yall to lose that game. That will be the only one though.

Yes indeed it was trashy. I don't like the guy one bit with his constant trash talking every play. Nor do I like Jefferson. I have zero respect for him after his press conference. Unbelievable when he said he didn't owe anyone an apology, not even his teammates for what he was involved in. Those two guys just bring down LSU's sportsmanship.

Was the game over hyped? No.
Was the game boring? Yes
Does bama need a new kicker? Yes.
Should there be a repeat of this game? Only if there are no undefeated teams left.

 

[dvrexpander]

The funny thing. Both bama and LSU have a better offense than your Cowboys.

Not last night it wasn't... and they are not MY Cowboys by no means, I'm just a observer.

Over hyped....yes, very much it was a great game but not as much as they hyped it up to be or could have been had ESPN been covering it, hell the opening from CBS was bad enough - just a ratings draw is all it was.
Was it boring...hell yeah it was!
Bama needs a new kicker - they had a kicker?
Should they rematch?? HELL NO!! Not even if there weren't even undefeated teams .. no needs to be someone else down the line, plenty of top 10 teams that could compete good against another even one of these after what I saw last night.

I mean I'm not the only one obviously that thinks it wasn't no where near the hype of game of century

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- If that was The Game of the Century, then I want my 100 years back.
Top-ranked LSU's 9-6 overtime win against No. 2 Alabama Saturday evening wasn't the game of the century, decade or season. I'm not even sure it was the game of the day.


So let's get this out of the way right now: These two teams deserve a BCS championship rematch like Kim Kardashian deserves to keep her wedding gifts.


I'm not saying LSU's victory suffered from drama deprivation. It didn't. It was the leading cause of gnawed-off fingernails at an electric Bryant-Denny Stadium. The edge of my press box seat was worn down by the time Drew Alleman's 25-yard game-winning field goal somersaulted through the uprights.
But was it a football classic? Close, very close, but no.
Classics don't have four interceptions, four missed field goals, 13 penalties, one fumble, one botched punt return and zero touchdowns. A punter shouldn't be the best player on the field in a classic.
Bottom line: Only a classic is worthy of a Jan. 9 rematch in New Orleans. And this wasn't one of them.

No need to see a sequel to LSU Tigers-Alabama Crimson Tide - ESPN

Hell keep reading on...the guy doesn't stop with the truth and facts that came out of this boring game.

 

[meathead76]

Wow!!! did Leigh Tiffin kick for Bama last night?

 

[mccoyrj]

Wow!!! did Leigh Tiffin kick for Bama last night?

Lol! I wouldn't be that hard on Bama's kicker. Saban had a lot of faith in his touted defense, so he put that kid in low percentage kicks throughout the game. It's no wonder his confidence was down in OT when he faced another hard kick.

Just another sports writer's opinion.

Why didn't you post this article: LSU proved it's No. 1 against Alabama despite lack of offense - Stewart Mandel - SI.com

It was far from an all-time classic, but the sport's lowest-scoring 1 vs. 2 game since 1946 proved one thing with absolute certainty: LSU is indeed the nation's top team. The 9-0 Tigers opened the season in Dallas against a top-five Oregon team and shut down the Ducks' explosive spread offense. They went to Morgantown, W. Va., and held a high-scoring West Virginia offense to 21 points. They clobbered Florida and Auburn, owners of two of the past three national titles.


And on Saturday night, in hostile Bryant-Denny Stadium, they held the No. 2 team in the country to a mere two field goals, moved the Tide backward in overtime and, as Les Miles' teams are prone to do, overcame their own offensive struggles with a combination of lights-out special teams and well-timed forced turnovers.

​

I know why.


Geaux Tigers!!!

Ohh I'm sure there are lots of articles that go both ways.... my point is not everyone saw that as the game it was hyped up to be....that's my point.

But AGAIN>>>>>> I pulled for LSU and they won... boring game still.

We get your point. A game like last night doesn't compare to those thrilling Virginia Tech Hokie classics you underhype each week. Lol!

A lot of people showing their true colors in this thread... green from envy, and brown from FOS, hypocritical posts. I love it.

Thanks for your support. Geaux Tigers!

if something is boring (as you say) I turn the channel. The game caught your interest somehow.

Good, done deal then. It will be interesting to see how the SEC will place the new guys in the divisions, or have they already figured this out?

 

[whitewolf8214]

MU's move to SEC appears imminent
MU's move to SEC appears imminent It's official: Mizzou to SEC
It's official: Mizzou to SEC This is peculiar part of the 1st article about mizzous already mentioned in sec schedule before the schedule was announced... Mizzou already was written in the Southeastern Conference's projected lineup for 2012 in a press release prematurely posted for a few minutes Oct. 27 by the SEC.And it already has been deleted from the Big 12's anticipated membership for next year in a league statement welcoming West Virginia.

I guess when you are used to watching hit and giggle football each game, that a good smash mouth game leaves one cold. I understand. You are not used to seeing real football. So it is different and cant hold your attention. SEC! SEC! SEC!

This!

Either of these team(s) will skull drag Stanford or Oklahoma State if they are matched up.

Hell Arkansas is better than either Stanford or the Cowboys.

We've seen how this ends multiple times.

The Non SEC team gets their asses kicked.

Though let me add, not advocating for a Rematch as of right now. If either Stanford or Okie State make it through undefeated, they deserve to be in the BCS Championship Game.

Boise State though doesn't under any circumstances.
