CFP Semifinal: Washington vs Alabama, Sat 12/31 @ 3p ET, ESPN

[Jake]

Washington's TD seems to have made Bama angry.

 

[Drubuck]

Why recover that?

 

[1926Buckeyes]

Maybe it was the way he said it....it was seemingly condensending....

Whatever he meant when he said it, it sounded pretty damn condescending to me. Blackledge is one of the better announcers they have, but that was pretty bad.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Has it become a pre-requisite for punt returners to be dumber than a streetlamp?

Lol yeah. Washington getting physically dominated the last two drives.

Anyone else starting to feel like this is about to go down hill quick?

 

[OregonBuckeye]

Obviously I am twisting his words, thus the reason for the "basically".

Let his coach tell him not to, not Blackledge. Second guessing his choice, because Bama is talented, is below Blackledge.

You're twisting his words because you completely missed the point. These aren't run of the mill Pac-12 athletes and UW is at a talent disadvantage. His point was it wasn't worth the risk and he was right. Ross made it to the 12 and started them off in a hole. It's Todd's job to offer his opinion not agree with everything the coaches or players decide

 

[UrbanBuckeye]

Somehow I find it difficult to care about either of these teams.

Isn't it our turn to play yet?

Re: commercials ...

ESPN loses 621,000 subscribers ~ Worst month in company history

ESPN is a sinking ship and they need all the paid revenue they can get having overpaid for NFL/college football contracts recently. At least they were smart enough to drop NASCAR, another sinking ship! I digress.

We now return you to the Crimson Tide er best college football team of all-time and their home game against the Huskies.

Bama is just too good to be straight up beaten by this team. They're going to have to force mistakes, otherwise it was always going to go downhill.

 

[cincibuck]

Maybe Alabama is like a cat. They want to "play" with the Huskies before killing them. Don't know if it's the Washington defense or if Alabama's offense has gotten much better.

 

[buckeyebri]

Wow, we could have used Dieter. That would have been a short roll down the rode from BG....

 

[Jake]

Transfers from Bowling Green to Alabama, from the outhouse to the penthouse.

 

[Steve19]

The Bama backs really punish tacklers

Kiffin's playcalling might make this game close.
