BCS Title Game: Auburn -3.5 vs Oregon (ov/un 74.5) Jan 10, 2011

The only person I saw that I thought looked like that was Cam. And that whole situation has been discussed ad nauseum. Chizik was throwin up the double fist pump like it was going out of style lol.

Yes but Cam has been quite animated throughout the season despite the drama. I found it to be pretty interesting and out of character for him.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure he was also injured. His reaction was comparable to TP's after the Sugar Bowl.

so since Auburn is in Alabama, is the national trophy going to make an appearance at the local wal-mart?

Three of them actually

Perhaps the toilet paper celebrations will be on the house.

If it was the injury, then so be it. Overall it felt more like a BCS bowl ceremony than a championship stampede, but perhaps I'm overestimating how unique their achievements were. After all, Oregon gets to celebrate the title too.

There is no taunting aside. It is the core of the issue here.

[Dizzy Dean] It ain't taunting if you can do it!" [/Dizzy Dean]

cincinnati gave osu their biggest scare in 02. Can they celebrate their championship too, or is that a ridiculous notion?

Josh, clearly I was not posting in an effort to obtain your agreement on the subject, I was just explaining our thinking on it.

I absolutely understand your insinuation that if five consecutive BCSNCs were won by four different Big-10 teams, that there would be little or no conference bragging about that statistic on this board. Not a problem.

A 19 yard field goal from an automatic kicker after toying around the goal line for 50 seconds isn't exactly the most heartstopping way to win a title game. And FWIW Wes Byrum was going crazy

We could win a title game because the other QB took the snap and ran the ball to his own endzone and threw out of the back of the endzone for a safety and I'd still be fucking pumped.

It's the National Championship game.

Congrats on the great win in the Sugar Bowl. Good luck next year.

your transformation into the official SEC ambassador to BP has not been an enjoyable one

Vbet for how long until it's vacated?

The point is that mentality isn't just foolish, but it strips the participants of their accomplishments

If losing to a winner equals winning yourself, then Oregon has a title to celebrate.

Michigan can also save themselves money and hire Ron English, since they'll be preserving their success they've enjoyed during the Tressel era.

The point is that mentality isn't just foolish, but it strips football of winning altogether.

That's kind of a gross over-generalization of the mentality, don't you think?

Probably, but I think the Oregon comparison holds true in all of its absurdity.

No, no, no......frankly, it's a compensation issue. The BP is always enjoyable.
