All right all right, enough of this foolishness Indiana Douche. Who do you root for so I can mock you. Let me guess, since you live in Indiana and root for the Tigers, I'm guessing USC?

When I looked at the Schedule again this past August I looked, looked at the year again, and felt very...... sad. I couldn't even watch past the half.

I live in Chicago, and I root for the Florida Gators. I am an enigma wrapped in a riddle.

The Tigers laid an egg. If you check the transcripts, I gave my humble congratulations
all around after the title game. But it will never sit well with me, and no matter how the end result
justifies the bizarre means for bama fans....to me, it was an insult to the other teams vying for a title
behind them. It is clear that LSU was out-coached in 2011 the BCSNCG and lost BIGTIME. But I think
there is something to be said for being entitled to play by winning your division and winning an extra
game to even get to N.O. bama just sat and home and relaxed while LSU had to nearly get the snot
beat out of em by a tough UGA squad. In the end, I respect the result. But I in no way think it was
fair to anyone but the tide. And in the end, what says a last second play goes in the other direction
and you get left out of the Big game THIS YEAR? Were you still the best team in Atlanta? It was too
close to call by my eyes. But I am in NO WAY arguing over this year. This one is done. Go Irish.

You can say I am just wishing LSU could have hid behind procedure and dodged the tide. In a way that
is exactly what I am saying. But what kind of world do we live in where you can even DO what bama did?
LSU won the west division AND the SEC. I'm still not sure bama even had a right to BE in N.O. Would it have
been a travesty for bama fans? You bet. But they are one team out of a half dozen that also had a legit shot.
The majority were not served by the imperfect system. All I can say is a playoff can't come soon enough to
suit me.In the end, the best football team won. And like I said, in 2012, at least you can hold your heads
up around the rest of division I with a straight face.
The point of the BCS is to find the best 2 teams for the championship, last years championship game and the records of the teams playing were a result of the #1 and #2 teams being in the same division. With a relatively arbitrary system there will always be bellyaching, but seriously do you mean to tell me you think the best two teams in college football last year weren't LSU and Bama?

Since Auburn has passed on him, Bobby Petrino is still available!! He'd probably work for peanuts, and a new Harley!!

Default Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012

I heard a great lil joke by one of our local sports DJ Chris Vernon last week, and sadly I will be paraphrasing since I
have forgotten the exact wording, but he said that ironically it looks like for the first time in school history, the
coach of the Tennessee football team might be an actual VOLUNTEER
.....lol....nice work Chris.

He's pretty clever. He does a lot of songs about sports stories that seem to be karaoke backing tracks with nice lyrics
and great delivery, and they come across as damn fine work. He had a great one about that 'butt shot' story from
the frat boys at UT where they were pumping vodka into their butts. Damned if I can remember what song it was to the
tune of, though.

Sorry I forgot about this thread.

Well, it's harder to argue that ND should be less than 1, given their undefeated record. But if we could say that playing and losing to harder teams could trump beating lesser teams:

Top 5:
1. Florida
2. Oregon
3. Kansas State
4. Bama
5. ND

Just my . I did want Oregon v Kansas St to end up #1 and #2.

You don't have to get all touchy.

Oregon played some easy teams this year, like Alabama... I think Oregon is a better team. They both played less than stellar teams, and I think that Oregon is a better overall team than 'Bama.

'Bama has a really over rated Offense, however they have a very good Defense. Oregon has a better Offense, and a very good Defense.

Don't get mad because I hate Alabama and the praise they always get. They're the NFL Tebow of the SEC.
