Well, here it is, the final game of the 2009 college football season. For much of the bowl season, I've had to work, get my car fixed, and Google search any insignificant question and computer problem my grandparents call me about. (You would think with their age and guile they'd have the answers to various things readily available. You would think). So needless to say, this has kept me from my assigned college football commenting duties. For that I apologize, but tonight I will get the festivities going. So without further ado...
The BCS National Championship Game: Alabama vs. Texas (8:00 pm) From the moment this matchup was set, I've been pondering what the key to this game should be and ultimately what it will be. Could it be the Longhorn offensive line having a chance to contain the legendary Mt. Cody? How about the Tide secondary and what they'll have to do to contain Jordan Shipley? And let us not forget the mystery of chessboxing that could occur between Nick Saban and Mack Brown. But I keep hearing that the Tide are going to make mince meat of the Horns, and that kind of ignores recent history. What did we learn from the last time we saw Texas in a title game? We should have learned not to count them out, right? So keep this in mind before we coronate a team in a game like this. In my usual neutral third party kind of observational style though, that doesn't necessarily mean that the Tide aren't every bit as good as advertised. I happen to think so, for whatever that's truly worth.
This is very low class on ‘Bama’s part. They are trying to score again?
Done.
If I am a UT fan I would be pissed at Saban.
Bastards just poured it on. I will never, never, never, ever root for them again.
Oh! One more offensive play and....interception! They look worse than the NY Giants out there. At least the Giants are three plays and out. Tex....one play and change of posession. Last two throws by Tex QB = 14 points. For Bama. Yes, they do really blow.
They did play a greaT game.
But an AUbaurn fan complaining about classlessness is laughable. I suffered through a long time until last year.
You just answered why every team in the SEC is not pulling for a very arrogant institution.
Did Saban have a bet on the over. They alteady covered the spread. LOL!!!
But an AUbaurn fan complaining about classlessness is laughable.
worth repeating!
Well then the subsequent INT should have really thrilled you. Go away.
Thus ends the college football season.. Once again a big thank you for doing this thread.
Congratulations Bama, that’s Four Straight for the SEC and counting!!!!
We’ll see you guys, hopefully twice next season.
I’m not complaining. Just stating a fact.
This is the 7th national championship for the Crimson Tide since 1936 and the 13th overall in the program's history. This is also the 4th consecutive national championship for the SEC and the 6th national title in the BCS era for the SEC. So if you are a Crimson Tide fan of any stripe, rammer jammer yellowhammer is the phrase of the evening, the Tide are national champions. Congratulations!
Congrats. The Tide played a great game.
Coming in for a belly landing. Lived to play another day. Hook'em! Congrats to the Crimson Tide of Alabama. Real Football out there tonight.
Wait...I just said tha.....ANOTHER ONE ! Does this QB see any red jerseys out there? They belong in last night's game against Troy State !
Yeah I geuss its Florida’s turn again next year!
Ditto on Thank You to GOP Raider!! Congratulations Alabama and an admirable and courageous effort by UT.
I, for one, will STILL be wearing a UT shirt to work tomorrow!!!!
Congratulations, Bama!
