2009 College Football Season Thread

I won't say it's cheap' date=' Bama is a hell of a team and they won the game cleanly, but this likely would have been a completely different game if McCoy had been in, but like I said Bama's a good team and it would have been a tough one even if McCoy had been in. I atleast can go away from this game with my head held high as can the rest of the Texas players. Props go out to Bama and Mark "The Beast" Ingram enjoy your victory, Saiban and the rest of the Bama players have been nothing but class.[/quote']

 

But it was a Three point game. I think the second drive when it was 3-0 they would have gotten a TD with Colt. 10-0

I hate that we were robbed of seeing McCoy play. I do think Alabama still would've won, but you never know.

 

Congrats to y224 though. Enjoy it. My aunt (from Tuscaloosa) was at the game.

Bama had no chance if McCoy played the whole game.

maybe but its impossible to know for sure, as for me Im done pining over what's done, it was a hell of a game, and hopefully Gilbert got his rookie knocks out early and will hit the ground running next year, his second half performance gives me hope for next year.

[suns]

4 straight!!

4 straight what?

National Championships for the SEC.

National Championships for the SEC.

 

so what? Kentucky didn't win s*** so quit the conference ********, it's not even so much that I hate rooting for your conference but you are a Kentucky fan, what on earth did you win?

thats like rooting for the Yankee's in the WS just because they are in our division.

All of the SEC teams get $$$ when someone in their conference wins a national championship I think.

Holy crap, THANK YOU. Did you read my facebook status earlier?

 

The whole blindly rooting for the SEC thing is so ridiculous. Is Alabama winning the national title supposed to help me feel better about Mississippi State since we're both from the same conference? Uh, yay.

[suns]

I seriously actually wanted Texas to win.

[msubulldogs21]

That is correct.

 

However, we're fighting tooth and nail trying to recruit the same kids that Alabama is after (as is every SEC school), and this only helps their cause even more. You have to draw the line somewhere.

Unless you are attending an SEC school currently that doesn't matter, and I'm sorry for being a bit abrasive but I've had to deal with Ole Miss fans (especially before they beat florida) and other s***** SEC teams' fans who root for their conference more than they root for their team and its kind of retarded, so sorry for attacking you I'm just not in the best mood right now.

You know I'm an SEC guy, and I agree completely. People are ignorant.

I did, and I've felt that way for about the past 5 years as well I just don't like SEC fans in general (im not saying all of you, in fact most of my friends are attending SEC schools) they are so pproud of their confrences even if their team sucks.

[Emmz]

Dude, suns roots for Cleveland in several sports, cut 'im some slack.

[Emmz]

But on a serious note. You should, however, acknowledge regional pride. Some people have a lot of regional pride, like in the mid-west. I'm not big on regional pride, so I don't root for OSU against Texas, although I probably would against USC.

 

Anyways. Some people see it as a regional thing, so I don't think it's the dumbest position, even if I don't personally feel the same way.

I understand that, I will root for Texas teams most of the time, but if Texas goes 2-12 and OU goes undefeated and wins the BCS Im not going to go out and hoot and holler about how awesome the Big 12 is, in fact last year I watched the National championship with little emotion, I was tired of hearing about Tebow and UF but I also hated OU and was pissed that Texas got robbed of a shot at a BCS title game.

[Emmz]

I understand that, and especially for that case. Oklahoma and Texas hate each other in a similar way that we hate Wisconsin and the Dakotas.

 

I personally wouldn't root for the Badgers if it was between that and death. I hate the Badgers with every fiber of my being.

 

However, if it was Iowa, or maybe Northwestern or Penn State, I'd probably cheer, because I don't hate them the same way I hate the Wolverines, or the Buckeyes, or the Badgers. Heck, I was cheering for Michigan State in Basketball. Just never Michigan, OSU or Wisconsin. That is all.

My list of teams that I will almost never root for is OU, LSU (sorry Nutriarch you're cool but you are one of only 3 LSU fans out of countless numbers of cajuns that I've actually liked), Ole Miss, USC, and Notre Dame; other than those teams I don't really hate any teams.

Very satisfying.

Congrats from a UT fan, hell of a game huh?

[yankees228]

Congrats from a UT fan' date=' hell of a game huh?[/quote']

 

Absolutely, and I appreciate it. It's always too bad to watch a great player go out like McCoy did, but UT hung in there well, and Jordan Shipley really stepped up.

 

Obviously I'm thrilled about the outcome, and with a lot of underclassmen at important positions, Alabama should be set up to contend for awhile.

You will always be in the running for a national title with Saban at the helm.

Right, well, they'll always be at the top of the recruiting classes.

yeah like I said, it sucks that Colt didn't get his chance but I don't think that solely because we lost, I've just followed him for 4 years and I really felt that he had earned his right to play in that game, its a shame he didn''t get too, but with the way Gilbert stepped up and made it a game I can still hold my head high and know that we really deserved to be there wether or not we won. what I found the most entertaining was the chess game that went on when UT was on Defense with Muschamp making the calls and I assume Saiban making the calls for alabama's offense, it was quite the duel between student and mentor and Muschamp knows how to squeeze that D for all its worth, but Saiban did a hell of a job putting this team together and getting them here, hell of a coach and a hell of a team.

[yankees228]

I think Saban made two very poor decisions, but other than that, I have no complaints with his game plan or calls.

[msubulldogs21]

Right' date=' well, they'll always be at the top of the recruiting classes.[/quote']

 

You don't think you'll have a chance to win a championship pretty much any given year? He is the best, and the recruiting classes will always be there to back it up.

Yeah, I completely agree.

My bad - when you said "right" I thought that was sarcasm/disagreement.
