Bama is unreal, best team I've seen in a years

[JLEW1818]

still got games @ South Carolina, and @ LSU. SEC Championship.

[Blue]

Urban Meyer looks like Coach Klien out there getting owned by Red Bow U.

[delhalew]

I would hate to see what Ingram and Richardson would do to our D.

[noobalicious]

They are definitely above average.

[fadada1]

it looks as though [insert div 1AA team here] found a bunch of gator unis and decided to suit up against bama.

[bringit]

very well coached and a handful of playmakers make all the difference

[JLEW1818]

having fun stopping that run.... like anyone.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

their 2009 team was better

[Crucifax Autumn]

Until they hire a coach from this board they'll never be all that great.

[olevetonahill]

Like I said in THIS thread http://www.soonerfans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=145338

Im a wondering If Timmy T wept :D

[Sabanball]

their 2009 team was better

I would agree on that on all counts except Mark Ingram--I actually think he's better this year than he was when he won the Heisman last year.

[goingoneight]

He definitely cuts well for a guy who just had surgery.

Again, UF had this coming all season. Very average UF team at times. hate to say it, but Alabama's the only team who can "cruise" their way to the MNC IMO. Nothing against 'Bama... I'd like to say it a lot more if I could say it about us, too.

Well... Boise can sleepwalk their way there... f'n WAC. :rolleyes:

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Oh yeah he is got another year under his belt and looks great...but that defense last year with McClain, Arenas, and Co. was pretty top notch when talking about a great football team

[goingoneight]

'Bama's offense is farther along than it's ever been under Saban, or any other Saban-coached team, too. Helps to be able to move the ball whenever you need to.

[SoonerShay]

HYPERBOLE! They gave up over 400 yards of offense to Arkansaw last week. Lasts years Bama team was better, because of the balance on offense and defense. This one is more dependent on offense.

[htownsooner7]

I agree that they look good, but did you watch the first half last week against Arkansas? There have been some great teams in the last decade that were never down by double digits all year long.

[Blue]

Geez Brantley. Horrible.

[SoonerShay]

Brantley and Gilbert were getting all kinds of hype in the off-season too. Both have been nothing special and in Brantley's case garbage!

[OUinFLA]

Bama cheerleaders are hawt

[TXBOOMER]

Bama is the best team in the country right now. It is a long season though! Every once in awhile your best players can get hurt and lost for the season, refs can F you, or you can just have a shatty week. All sorts of shat can happen in a football game. That is why we all love it. You never know.

[Leroy Lizard]

Until they hire a coach from this board they'll never be all that great.

:D

[VA Sooner]

Brantley needs a pump fake or two, some misdirection... then again, Roll Tide!

[OUthunder]

Poor Urban Oscar Meyer. I feel no pity for them. I hope Bama hangs a hundred on them.

[Blue]

Bama keeps this up, Urbans gonna retire again. :D

He's on the bench right now chirpin like a hen and laying a football egg. "You alright, Coach Klein?"

[Blue]

Oh F off Danielson. You think CU is any better than 8 to 10th in the Big 12?

[OUthunder]

The only team that's gonna beat Bama, is Bama.

[Eielson]

their 2009 team was better

That's what I was thinking.

Bama loses next week. Calling it.

Of course it is possible, but what has happened so far this season that gives you reason to think that? Oh wait...I see where you are from. You must be a barner...

[Blue]

Just feel like calling it. Bama is not invincible. They'll just be another "invincible" team that will lose along the way.

[Sabanball]

Ummm....in other words, an undefeated team will eventually lose, right? I would agree with that just like water is wet and that the sun rises in the East. You're not going to get any disagreement with that 'profound' statement....Lol

Florida is obviously not the team they were with Tebow and I think that was demonstrated tonight. However, in terms of the talent level, they are still--BY FAR--the second best team in our league. I look forward to our rematch in the first week in December.

[Eielson]

I don't think they're invincible, but I think predicting Alabama to lose 3+ games this year is ridiculous.

I think the stupid scheduling snaffu is your biggest obstacle. As ludicrous as it sounds, by the time you get to Auburn, it could catch up to you. I also give South Carolina an outside chance if the somehow get better QB play.

[badger]

Congrats Sabanball... but your conference might have to find a few replacement refs after Tennessee killed one for costing them the LSU game. VISUAL EVIDENCE BELOW:

http://i52.tinypic.com/21kgrid.jpg

Speaking of SEC refs, everything is indeed faster in the SEC with all of that SEC speed, including how your game's refs drop flags. No time to think, they're already throwing the flag. S-E-C! S-E-C! ;)

LSU can beat Bama. Auburn can beat Bama. Will they? How the hell would I know? How the hell do you know?

You were lucky in Fayetteville and besides that you guys haven't played anyone yet. Florida is horrible as is Penn St. Quit being smug.

Bama only needs a field goal to beat LSU...and they'll get more than that. LSU's offense is probably the worst thing to ever step foot on a football field.

You'll get no argument from me on SEC officiating, but you can't blame the outcome of that game on the refs. Tenn clearly had 15 players on the field of play there at the second to last play from the LOS. And frankly, I don't know who was more inept at the end of the game--the Hat for not being able to get a play call in or Dooley for having too many people on the field.

I'm not being smug or bragging, just responding to what you are saying. We havent' played anyone yet?? We've beaten two top 20 teams at home and one top 10 team on the road--what else would you have us do at this point in the season that hasn't been asked of another team out there that's 5-0? I'd love to know.

Of course anything can happen in the future but we are playing very well and if our team can maintain this standard and have some luck with the injury bug I like our chances of going undefeated in the reg season.

[Blue]

I didn't say we should be ranked higher or that we were better. Excuse me if I don't want to award the title to alabama after 5 games.

Fair enough. I however disagree. I dont see Bama going back to back. If I was a Bama fan, I'd feel like they were going to win every game too. Just like I think OU is going undefeated.

[Sabanball]

...And we're not asking for it.

I think we've ran this into the ground. Appy State beat Michigan a couple of years ago, and Jax State beat Ole Miss several weeks ago in Oxford. College football is very unpredictable, that's one reason I think we all like it so much. You may be right, Bama might very well end up losing 3- 4 games this year, but I don't think you can make an intelligent argument and give any reasons that would support that at this point in time.

We will definitely lose at some point in the future, it could be next week or next year. But right now you have to like our chances of going undefeated, at least in the regular season if we can stay injury-free and have a little luck a long the way...

BTW, congrats on the win in the RRS today. Honestly, I thought overall you guys looked pretty sloppy,especially later in the game, but all that matters is that you won and that you're 5-0. You guys are definitely in the Big 12 drivers seat and I see you all playing the Bugeaters in the Big 12 CG. That Texas/NU game is really shaping up to be a huge hate game!

[stoops the eternal pimp]

iF YOU WANNA CROWN EM, CROWN EM!

[badger]

...And we're not asking for it.

:P when have you tiders ever asked for a title without just claiming it?

:D seriously though, i want everyone in front of us to clear out so we can meet in the title game. down with duckies and buckeyes. down with froggies, Boise, DIE!

[Boomer38Sooner]

They are salty. Great football team.

[Blue]

We'd be higher than Boise and real close w/ OSU in the BCS due to SOS if FSU and AF keep winning w/ wins over Top25 FSU, AF, UT, Ok State, and Nebraska. OSU would have wins over Miami, Iowa, Mich, Wisc, Penn st(Dont think penn st will be top 25 by the end of the year).

[Blue]

the SOS factor will definitely be an issue, that's why I wouldn't rule it out. But I'm here to tell you that if Bama and Ohio St win out that is who is going to Glendale.

I could buy that. Only way it flipflops is if Osu looks like they did today from here on out and OU starts killin folks. I don't think osu goes unscathed though.

My order of undefeateds that have priority right now are

Bama
OSU
Oregon (close to ohio st)
OU/Neb
Boise
TCU

Badger,

I actually hope Boise makes it to Glendale and we can settle this issue once and for all. I am so sick of hearing guys like Tim Brando on CBS carry their water for them. Boise has not played anybody and they operate in a mid tier conference--at best.

I still maintain their biggest win of all time was against you guys and that game was a fluke.

[meoveryouxinfinity]

It's a long season. That's all that has to be said.

[soonerboomer93]

I don't want any part of that alabama team...none...

IMHO, if we keep playing slop and having to use Sooner Magic to pull wins out, then you don't have to worry about that.

If they make good use of bye week, and get things straightened out, the injured healed up, then we'll see. The FSU game showed the capability of the team, we've only seen glimpses of it since then.

[badger]

I still maintain their biggest win of all time was against you guys and that game was a fluke.
that game still disappoints me. why oh why did that have to be the last time we say All Day in a Sooners uniform? :(

hug mark ingram lots and love every second you get to watch him this season. he'll be gone before you know it and you'll never know when you'll see another player at your school like him... and he'll probably end up playing for an NFL team you hate :mad:

[Blue]

Btw, sabanball, my rant was not necessarily against you. I work with many Bama fans and have good friends that are bama fans and we are hoping for a joint trip to Glendale.

I just got quite a few annoying texts during the Bama game and started plotting bamas demise. dont take it personal, please. :D

x2
I really do want boise or TCU to play bama. Just so next year they wont have shiiiit to say about them. Im tired if hearing about them......

With that being, LSU has a very good defense and will put up a fight with you guys, but in the end there offesne will lose the game.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Just feel like calling it. Bama is not invincible. They'll just be another "invincible" team that will lose along the way.Yeah, baby. We can hope, anyway. I'll be pulling for the Cocks forsure.

still got games @ South Carolina, and @ LSU. SEC Championship.

are you ****ing kidding me Jlew? Get real bro...I can name 10 teams in the last decade that are better than this years bama team

[JLEW1818]

i said in years.... that could mean 3 or 4 years. and yes. I would take this Alabama team over any team from 2006 till now.

whoever said that 2009 was better than 2010... I'm not so sure. 2010 still has a ways to go. But the offense is looking unreal. The defense is coming together. Ranked 20th in the Nation. After playing Arkansas and Florida. Defensive ranking is only going to get better.


but sure go ahead. Name 10 teams in the last decade better than this Alabama team.

[oumartin]

They are definately a good team but I've seen teams that looked unstoppable for an entire season and lay an egg in the biggest one of the year.

It can happen to anyone

[JLEW1818]

oh I totally agree. 2002 Miami looked unstoppable as well.

If you had time to go to a meaningless football game during your Fall 1L semester then I'm going to have to give the dean a quick alumni phone call. BACK TO WORK, 1L SCUM. YOU HAVE 13 TORTS CASES TO BRIEF BY MONDAY. :D

As to the topic at hand, I am getting a certain New England Patriots Undefeated Season/2003 OU/2005 USC/OMGGreatestTeamEverBeforeLosingTheLastOne kind of vibe about this Bama team. The team itself doesn't control the hype that will continue to build, but they really have seperated themselves from the rest of the country so early in the season that the hype and pressure by the time we get to Iron Bowl weekend will be unreal. Saban's biggest challenge from here on out won't be game-planning- it will be managing the psyche and focus of his team.

Urban Meyer needs to rip the Tebow plays from the playbook. The QB dive and jump pass by the goal line were awful. ESPN is trying to bill Trey Burton as Tebow Lite, probably to give them an excuse to still talk about Tebow. At least we won't be stuck with another 10 min feature on him next week.

Our defensive coordinator Kirby Smart and many of us fans knew the jump pass was coming--another sign of unimaginative, horrible play-calling by Meyer/Addazio last night.

If Florida had been smart they would have held on to Cameron Newton(now at Auburn), as I think he could have ran their O much better than Brantley. Urban has got to be kicking himself for making the decision to let him leave with Brantley being the heir apparent to Tebow--and make no mistake that is ultimately why he left.

Without question I think Florida is still the second best team in our league(in fact they were ranked second nationally by Sagarin) and I still expect to see them in ATL, as I predict Steve Spurrier will once again self-destruct at South Carolina. But until they find their identity on O I just don't see them beating us in the rematch.

Florida 08 was better, 09 Bama was better, and 08 OU was probably better. 01 Miami was better, 00 OU was better, 04 USC was better, 05 USC and Tex was better.

Thats 8 teams in the decade and 3 in the last 2 years that are better than this years Bama team

Yup...I guess winning 29 reg season games in a row, going 3-2 against Urban Meyer/ Florida the last six years, and going 31-2 overall the last three years is just really no big accomplishment. I mean...I guess you guys and everyone else have done the same thing this decade so no big deal, right? Might as well just put us with the TCU's and Boises of the world, I guess.

Seriously, this is a silly argument. Teams from different seasons will never play each other so you can never say for sure if one would beat the other. One thing Nick always says is that no team can 'defend' a national title--simply because each season your team is different. Each 'team', if you will, gets one shot at a NC--because at the end of each season new players come in and old ones leave. That is why the college game is more for guys like your coach and mine that love to teach, train, and coach young men.

I've never come on here and tried to say we are the best team of the decade. Right now I'd probably bestow that honor on one of Pete Carroll's teams(with an asterisk beside it, of course). But I WOULD say that right now, at this point time, no other team is playing better ball than we are--and as Mark Ingram said last night, we still haven't played a complete game yet.

[Collier11]

Being sensitive much? I never said one bad word about Bama, I actually have a ton of respect for them and your coach...I was merely replying to Jlew who made what I thought was an outrageous statement that Bama is the best team he has seen the last several years.

I even said that I think last years Bama team was better than this years. Geez Saban

[Collier11]

Seriously, this is a silly argument. Teams from different seasons will never play each other so you can never say for sure if one would beat the other. One thing Nick always says is that no team can 'defend' a national title--simply because each season your team is different. I happen to agree...

Thats another reason that I called Jlew on that statement, Bama isnt even half way thru their schedule. They may go 13-0 or they may go 10-3, you never know what can happen

[Sabanball]

It's cool. I was just joining in on the discussion.:)

BTW, you are absolutely correct about our final record. Anything can happen--we could lose a key player to an injury, get screwed by a ref, or as hard as it would be to believe of a Saban-coached team, we may just not show up for one game and lose one we are supposed to win easily. It happened to USC several years ago at Stanford and has happened to you guys as well.

whose to say 2009 Alabama is not top of the list? The second team to go 14-0

No way you can make that statement after 5 games, especially when a good but not great Arky team should have beat them if their stud QB didnt go all Jarrod Johnson in the 4th qt

[JLEW1818]

you can make arguement for any game on any team.

aggie 2000, pick 6.


My statement is simple. so far, this Alabama team is the best I've seen in years. If anybody has a plan to stop that run game/play action. please show me.

Now I hope South Carolina pulls the upset. only an 8 point dog.

[JLEW1818]

on a side note, if Saban goes 28-0 with 2 BCS Titles.... just wow....

not to mention he was 12-0 in the 2007 regular season.

[Collier11]

and like I said, at this point they havent impressed me that much. Florida is WAY down ala tex, Arky had them beat and self destructed, the other teams they have played suck

They may well turn out to be juggernauts but I dont see it yet.

At this point last year Bama had absolutely dominated everyone including a top 10 Va Tech team.

[JLEW1818]

you have to give them credit for Penn St. not just a walk in the park game.

they also played at Arkansas, a team ranked in the top 10. VT was a neutral site game (2009).

2009 Bama beat Tennessee 12-10 at HOME. if you want to get picky.... beat LSU by 9 at home.

beat unranked Auburn by 5 on the road.


2009 had it's close moments

[Frozen Sooner]

No way you can make that statement after 5 games, especially when a good but not great Arky team should have beat them if their stud QB didnt go all Jarrod Johnson in the 4th qt

Interesting that a guy who played well under pressure just the week before went all to pieces in the second half against Alabama. That probably didn't have anything to do with defensive adjustments or anything: he just imploded because of the pressure of a two-score lead.

The difference in Mallet from the first half to the second half was Alabama adjusting their coverage scheme and taking the wheel route out with a safety. At least that's what I saw.

I mean, we can debate until the cows come home, but Alabama has done more to show they're the #1 team in the country than any other team so far this year. I don't know if they're the best team in "years"-LA's pro franchise in 2004 was pretty dang good, as was Miami's 2001 team.

[Collier11]

Penn st is horrible. And again, you said at this point. At this point, 09 Bama is far and away better than the current version is

[Collier11]

I mean, we can debate until the cows come home, but Alabama has done more to show they're the #1 team in the country than any other team so far this year. .

Im certainly not debating that, they are easily #1 so far this year although id give Oregon some props as well after lastnight.

[birddog]

how many bama wins before people start losing their hair over the 47 game win streak?

[Collier11]

well they lose their QB after this year so Im not too worried...yet :D

[JLEW1818]

Penn st is horrible. And again, you said at this point. At this point, 09 Bama is far and away better than the current version is

i guess... i mean we all know VT starts off slow. Neutral field. Won by 10. This game was a battle till then end. check the box score.

At Arkansas won by 4... not a huge difference i guess.

So no, i don't see 2009 Alabama being way better than 2010 so far. I actually will say 2010 Alabama is better so far.

[Collier11]

Bama 2010 GREATEST TEAM EVER!! I wish I could suck off Saban

:D

[JLEW1818]

lol maybe i just hate Urban Meyer??? and glad that c. sucker lost


but no really, i hope South Carolina kills them.

All about OU.

but i speak the truth.

[Collier11]

I am there with ya, Id take Saban over Meyer any day of the week. It was hilarious watchin florida pretend that they still had Tebow yet somehow those plays jsut didnt work anymore

[JLEW1818]

I'm not really a Tebow hater... i see how the media makes the public hate him tho.

He was one of the greatest college football players, that I've seen play

[Collier11]

One of the top 10 greatest CFB players of all time, the media made me dislike him, he didnt

[Frozen Sooner]

well they lose their QB after this year so Im not too worried...yet :D

People around here have somewhat unrealistic expectations about A.J. McCarron. He's looked good in limited action, but...

[Collier11]

McElroy may never be a 1st round draft pick or a Heisman winner but the dude doesnt lose. Period!

[Frozen Sooner]

From ESPN's Pat Forde Twitter (espn4d) Yesterday: "Just checked out the tailgate scene outside Bryant-Denny. Outstanding atmosphere. Bama Law School tailgate best in show."

W00t!

[SoFla Sooner]

What does a girl say when she sees a ridiculously pretty girl? "I HATE her!" Well that's how I feel about Alabama.

[Tidefan36854]

how many bama wins before people start losing their hair over the 47 game win streak?

That record is safe my friend! There's no way another team will win 47 straight.

[Eielson]

I hope we 'suck' for a long, long time. ;)

Fag.

[Eielson]

how many bama wins before people start losing their hair over the 47 game win streak?

They've still got a couple seasons worth to go.

[Sooner70]

I would love to see Oregon play Alabama and Kelly get his green a** kicked all the way back to wherever Nike Stadium is.

I just cannot believe he'd say such a stupid thing at the Stanford game like Harbaugh must have "....friends over there"...or something like that....implying that Stanford was getting all the good ref calls. What a classless coach. I've been off that guy every since he suspended Blount for the year and then decided to bring him back when the schedule got tough. What a jerk.

[Crucifax Autumn]

Really not a surprise he's such a doosh.

[birddog]

They've still got a couple seasons worth to go.

yeah, i remember when usc had 31 wins and playing texass for the mnc. there were alot of conflicted people on that one.

if bama makes it unscathed this season (i can't crown em yet. with injuries and whatnots you never know), the nervous nellies will be in full force.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

i guess... i mean we all know VT starts off slow. Neutral field. Won by 10. This game was a battle till then end. check the box score.

At Arkansas won by 4... not a huge difference i guess.

So no, i don't see 2009 Alabama being way better than 2010 so far. I actually will say 2010 Alabama is better so far.

your full of poop

[Blue]

lets watch this game together, Sabanball....:D

[Blue]

Touchdown South Carolina!!! 14-3. Uh oh......! :D

[silverwheels]

I figured Bama would physically dominate South Carolina, but I would be more than thrilled if the Gamecocks managed to win this one.

[Blue]

It'll be close. USC needs to keep this up, though.

[swardboy]

Will the adrenalin still be kicked in the second quarter for SC? 15 yard penalties do NOT help their cause...

[MojoRisen]

They need to be up 21-6 at half

[swardboy]

AND BAMA FUMBLES!!!!

[silverwheels]

Bama looking very lackadaisical so far, just like in the Arkansas game.

[Okla-homey]

Gamecock D is hanging tough. And that Lattimore kid is special. Looking good for the 'Cocks. Bad for the bammer ya-hoos.:D

[swardboy]

TD

[silverwheels]

Wow, if the Tide don't wake up soon, they may be in too deep a hole to get out of.

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Bama is unreal!!! Best team I have ever seen!!!!

[Tigeman]

And so they begin to tumble out the unbeaten ranks!

21-3 ... Not over yet....but heading in the right direction!

[Okie35]

I told Jlew to pick South Carolina beating Bama and not Arky.

[OU_Sooners75]

Missed FG!!!!


I picked Bama to lose...even though I would love to see OU and Bama play in the BCS Title Game.


Far from being over though.

[Mississippi Sooner]

Best team EVAR!!1!!1!!

[MojoRisen]

If they can get a field goal or better here - game.

[Okie35]

If they can get a field goal or better here - game.

Not really, Bama can go on a roll.

[Okla-homey]

Not really, Bama can go on a roll.

bammer is in deep doo-doo. They may need a "roll" to clean themselves up at half-time.

[OU_Sooners75]

Can the announcers be any more Pro-Alabama?

Jesus!

[swardboy]

Fulmer does a fair job of halftime commentary....along with our own Mr.Tillman.

[kevpks]

Can the announcers be any more Pro-Alabama?

Jesus!

They seem to do that for the flagship SEC team every year.

[OU_Sooners75]

They seem to do that for the flagship SEC team every year.
Alabama has 2 good seasons in the last 17 and all the sudden they are the SEC Flagship?

I think LSU and Florida has something to say about that.

[delhalew]

Tracy Wolfson was terrified of Saban. It looked like he might kill and eat her out of frustration.

[OU_Sooners75]

LOL....Good job Garcia....LMFAO you idiot!

[Blue]

What was that??? Moran. lol.

[silverwheels]

Garcia must be drunk again. Get him back in rehab.

[Rocko]

I swear Saban is in his opponents heads every game.

[bluedogok]

Alabama has 2 good seasons in the last 17 and all the sudden they are the SEC Flagship?

I think LSU and Florida has something to say about that.
Not since last season....it's a what have you done for me lately world out there now.

[OU_Sooners75]

Nice Spot. He was at least a half yard further back than that.

[silverwheels]

I look for South Carolina to go 3 and out here, and Alabama to score on their next drive to tie it up.

[Blue]

Cmon USC!

[OU_Sooners75]

I look for South Carolina to go 3 and out here, and Alabama to score on their next drive to tie it up.

Well, there goes the 3 and out. ;)

[silverwheels]

Well, there goes the 3 and out. ;)

I figured that South Carolina would continue to not try. I can't believe they started to ease up in the 2nd quarter on the #1 team in the country. This one is far from over.

[OU_Sooners75]

I dont think it is the SC coaches...just their players.

They seem to be getting their heads back in the game now though.

[Blue]

Eat that clock baby! A TD would be good here.

[OU_Sooners75]

I look for South Carolina to go 3 and out here, and Alabama to score on their next drive to tie it up.


Well there goes Alabama having the ability to tie ontheir next drive. :gary:

[OU_Sooners75]

South Carolina is bring it right now....damn!!!!!

[silverwheels]

McElroy's decision-making has been terrible today.

[OK2U]

The bama players are huge.
LBs, DEs, DTs and TEs have 20+lbs on average over our players.
I think we could tempo the hell out of these big boys.

[OU_Sooners75]

That is because McElroy is really not that great of a QB. He has been blessed with a great OL and two superb RBs with one great WR!


15 minutes until McElroy loses for the first time as a starter since Junior High!

[OU_Sooners75]

The bama players are huge.
LBs, DEs, DTs and TEs have 20+lbs on average over our players.
I think we could tempo the hell out of these big boys.


We woudl dominate Bama!!!

Their Defense is very Pourous...and if we can shut down the rushing attack of the two big backs, we would blow their asses out!

[aero]

What was that??? Moran. lol.

awesome

[silverwheels]

We woudl dominate Bama!!!

I don't know about that.

[Eielson]

awesome

They lean towards the front runner every year is my point.

[silverwheels]

Yep. Here we go. Bama stuck to their gameplan and didn't panic.

[OU_Sooners75]

LMFAO....bama is one lucky team...I guess you can say the good teams make their own luck.

;)

Come on Cocks...stiffen up!:eek:

[OU_Sooners75]

I don't know about that.


Just like you didnt think SC had enough to make this game like it currently is, right?

You are relegated to the Bench young man. :P

[OU_Sooners75]

They lean towards the front runner every year is my point.


I know!


DAMN SC is taking the wood to Bama!!!

[OU_Sooners75]

LMFAO....should have taken the Points.


Yep....Stoops and Saban have been teaching each other...hehe....both FGs and neither worked.

Still love ya Stoops!

[olevetonahill]

LMFAO....bama is one lucky team...I guess you can say the good teams make their own luck.

;)

Come on Cocks...stiffen up!:eek:

Dont worry , SS gave em a Viagra;)

[OU_Sooners75]

Dont worry , SS gave em a Viagra;)


Well played!:D

[Blue]

oops.

[Blue]

Wow!!

[silverwheels]

Just like you didnt think SC had enough to make this game like it currently is, right?

You are relegated to the Bench young man. :P

Different playing styles. I would hope the game would be in Norman.

[CarolinaSoonerFan]

Lattimore is a stud.

[OU_Sooners75]

GAME, SET, MATCH!!!!

I think that all but seals the game....But I hope SC doesnt let off teh accelator like they did in the first half!

[mightysooner]

That Alshon Jeffries kid is a stud too. Gamecocks got some athletes on this team.

[silverwheels]

Might be an Auburn-South Carolina SEC title game.

[MR2-Sooner86]

Can Bama score two TD's in 7:01?

[silverwheels]

Ballgame.

[OUinFLA]

re: the thread title................. that didn't last very long.

[mightysooner]

No repeat for Bama.

[OU_Sooners75]

re: the thread title................. that didn't last very long.



Thank you Jlew!!!!

:D

[ousooners182]

lmao please finish this out south carolina!

[Wishboned]

I want SC to score again.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

jlew is packin the kiss of death this season

[OUthunder]

Saban looks like someone stole his cupcake.

[OU_Sooners75]

I got it!

[Since71ASooner4Life]

Saban looks like someone stole his cupcake.

Saban looks like the disloyal contract jumping scumbag he is. Ditches out on Mich State, ditches out on LSU, ditches out on Miami Dolphins, and only a matter of time till he ditches out on Bama. It absolutely delights me to see anguish on his face!

[oumartin]

so jlew. Could you please start a thread like this about Oregon, Boise State, Ohio State and others please.

sheesh. your thread looks rather foolish now :D


I like it

Bama loses next week. Calling it.

Hmmmmm....:gary:

[Blue]

Of course it is possible, but what has happened so far this season that gives you reason to think that? Oh wait...I see where you are from. You must be a barner...

Lookin good for those "Barners". :texan:

[Leroy Lizard]

so jlew. Could you please start a thread like this about Oregon, Boise State, Ohio State and others please.

Hey! The Man has to rest!

But a "Oregon is the best team Evar!" thread from Jlew would be pretty sweet.

[Okla-homey]

bammer got lucky last year. Party's over. Back to mediocrity.

It's karma. The Bear cheated too many times and payback is a beyotch.

[Blue]

Ummm....in other words, an undefeated team will eventually lose, right? I would agree with that just like water is wet and that the sun rises in the East. You're not going to get any disagreement with that 'profound' statement....Lol

Florida is obviously not the team they were with Tebow and I think that was demonstrated tonight. However, in terms of the talent level, they are still--BY FAR--the second best team in our league. I look forward to our rematch in the first week in December.

Auburn- S carolina in Atlanta. Calling it. ;)

[oumartin]

Steven Garcia looks like he should be frontin' a band not playing quarterback

[stoopified]

Thank you ballcoach

[tulsaoilerfan]

jlew is packin the kiss of death this season

He should start a thread about Oregon next :D

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Dittos #189, 190 and 195

[Breadburner]

Is Rammer Jammer on Death Watch...????

[birddog]

Lookin good for those "Barners". :texan:

how long til he replies? over/under at 3.5 days.

[The Ghost of Mex]

Bwhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

[Collier11]

I actually called this upset on my blog, just sayin!








I wasnt confident enough to make it my lock of the millennium :D

[sooner ngintunr]

I would much rather play South Carolina and their more conventional offense than Air Force. We beat Air Force by three at home, I think we beat SC by three touchdowns at home.

someones troll. nice.

[Knippz]

Bump, just for you jlew

[agoo758]

Bumping this terrific thread for goingoneight!
