***** NCG: Tide v Tigers Game Thread *****

Anyone watching tonight? I'm pulling for Clemson even if the Tide is my 3rd favorite team. I think they have a chance.

 

after our game I was pulling for Bama...and dabio or whatever his name is sounds like an a$$...

then the more I think about it...I'd hate to see bama get ANOTHER nc...

 

Yeah, as much as I prefer 'Bama as a program over Clemson (and it's a lot) it makes our loss look better if Clemson wins (especially if they win decisively) and 'Bama is already out ahead by enough in national titles. Don't need to extend the lead. So I have to very unenthusiastically hope for a Clemson win. The only actually bright spot to a Clemson win is Venables.

 

I am torn on this one, don't like either team. Clemson's arrogance and the Dabo crap make me want to root for Bama.

 

Two heavyweights going at it. Good game. By crowd reaction at the restaurant I was at seems Oregonian pulling for the Tigers.

 

That is unpossible, I just read on the Stoops thread that the ACC is noncompetitive with other foosball leagues.

 

I keep expecting Watson to get hurt and the game will be over (it's 21-17 right now). Bama got away with 2 blatant PI calls - one of them just like the one Clemson got away with against us on Westbrook.

 

Yup. Getting sick of it. Worst was Herbie talking about what a great play it was when the DB never even looked back *and* hit the arm before the ball arrived.

It's also interesting how Clemson looks to be getting beat up the way we did against them. Let's see how the fare going into the 4th if they start losing some key players.

 

For the most part they are - but Clemson and FSU have as many studs as any team in the country. But 2 teams with elite talent define a pretty good conference.

 

I thought our performance against Clemson was poor, maybe "they" are that good after all. Still a hard pill to swallow to get so close.

 

24-21 Tigers ; end of 3rd.

 

They just put up a graphic that Clemson has won 51 in a row when entering the 4th qtr. with a lead. We all know what that means...


Clemson is DOOMED !

 

Yeah they really need to change the rules where a flag can be thrown after reviewing the play in my opinion. Kind of ironic and funny considering all the missed PI on us. But alas... I'm actually rooting for these stupid arrogant f***s

 

Trick play, bama!

 

Clemson

 

kicker was off sides with left foot - why didnt they call that?

 

38-33 Bama, 4 mins left.

 

That was an ugly looking play. If that's what puts it away, that's such an unfortunate way to go down.

 

Special teams, giving up the onside kick and ko return killed them.

 

Clemson fans should find the ESPN doosh that put up that graphic and shoot out his porch light.
