Bama Wins the BCS National Championship...Yaye. I Guess.

The Alabama Crimson Tide finished off a perfect season by winning the BCS National Championship last night against Texas. It was their first championship since 1992 and they won the game on the defensive side of the ball. By knocking Colt McCoy out after just five plays, Bama's defense was able to load the box and kill the run. Plus, when you have Gilbert Javier Arenas "killing drives," it's going to be hard to get your offense going. Ingram and Richardson played really big. So big, that even McElroy's 59 passing yards couldn't blow the game. [Note: I was also surprised/impressed to find that McElroy is a Rhodes Scholar candidate.] Congrats to the Tide. AND I almost got the score right...almost.

[Note: I didn't include a photo of Alabama or Nick Saban celebrating because I have a strict "No Alabama or Nick Saban Celebrating" Rule enforced on this blog. I'm happy for them, and the SEC, but we're still rivals at the end of the day. At least your fans are proud.]
Geaux Tigers.

Bama vs. Texas Prediction

Let's be honest, it's easy to hate dislike Nick Saban. Sure, he's arrogant, might seem rude and "fun isn't a part of his playbook," but there's one thing you can't take away from Nick Saban: He is a good coach. Point, blank, period. As an LSU fan I'd have to be in denial not to admit that our last two National Championships [03 & 07] weren't the result of great coaching and recruiting done by Saban. That's why coaching is the main advantage that I'm giving Bama over Texas. That and Mark Ingram. The single advantage that I'll give Texas is that they have Colt McCoy and a more experienced team. But we also remember what happened when Florida had Tim Tebow...and a more experienced team. The point of this blog is to be right, not to hope that one of my team's arch rivals is defeated. Plus, I gotta go with the SEC school at the end of the day. Bama beats Texas.


[Note: I'm thinking the score's gonna be around 31-21 Bama.]

Couldn't let good ol Nick slide with this one...

Beat Bama '08

It's no secret that I fucking hate Alabama. Not as a state, come on now...but as a football team. Right now, they're the number one team the country and have the Devil calling the shots for them. Nothing, I repeat, nothing would make me happier than to knock of Bama while they're at the top of their game. A loss here would remove Alabama from the National Championship picture and own Nick Saban at the same time. Can't beat that. Come on Tigers. It's also Saban's first game in Baton Rouge since he left for the NFL. The Tigers' defense needs to show up big to stop an offense that hasn't been tested much this season. This is also the last real test that Bama will face before the SEC Championship. We're not used to being the spoiler, but we're up to the challenge.
