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

[zincfinger]

I was talking bout post season only though. As big favorites in major bowls bama has a tendency to not be as sharp as they are in National Championship games. Even while playing front of pro bama crowds this is the case.

I think Bama wins but I do think it'll be a game until late in game

I was commenting on the contradictory nature of "extreme tendency" and "from time to time", and how Yogi Berra would be proud of the effort to combine them in a single assertion.

A

Will this be the best team Bama has faced all year? Week 1 USC isn't same as now.

Absolutely. It's the playoffs.

60% of the time it works everytime

"They cheap shotted us. They hit all our best players," Collins said. "Oh they cheap shot me in the shoulder, (couldn't) tackle no more. Took out our best linebacker (Reggie Ragland). Blindsided him ... concussed him. Then we had a rookie in there, then they took out a defensive tackle."

Hey, Landon..... you got trucked by a QB. That's not exactly a cheap shot

I just posted this same thing in the game thread for that game. Saltier than the dead sea

Excuse #1 - "We weren't trying. We were playing against a third-string quarterback so we didn't try."
Excuse #2 - "We were too worried about the NFL draft. We didn't care about that game."
Excuse #3 - "They hit us too hard - we didn't know this was going to be a 'hitting' game."

How selfish of Ohio State to not care about Bammers draft stocks and hit them hard

So.....

Ragland attempts to tackle Zeke with the crown of his helmet... cheap shot Zeke
Collins gets trucked by Jones.... cheap shot Jones.

Got it.

Guys, I think he meant blindsided figuratively.

As in, that Ohio State team really blindsided us with how much better they were.

No?

That bitch can get in line with McGahee and cry with him. You got hurt because we beat the ever living shit out of you every damn play. I hope Coach Pete has some magic up his sleeve against Bama, I would love to see them go down. A Bama-OSU matchup would be awesome too but I would relish them going down.

 

[Jaxbuck]

This is a cheap shot Landon;

This is getting trucked by a bigger man;

I'm pretty embarrassed by Collins' comments.

But I want to defend the Colt McCoy thing. People like to forget Bama had a player named Julio Jones that was fairly decent. He was reduced to a being a blocker in the game because McElroy had broken ribs and couldn't throw the ball down the field. Both teams effectively played that game without a qb.
