Throw on a little Beethoven, pour yourself a beverage, and sink back into the couch. We're in the SEC Title Game and there's nothing else worth watching tonight. Time to relax. Roll Tide (and Go Navy!).

I just sent an email
to my Va Tech GA Dome ticket source. They were on the visitor side, and I am guessing FL will be the home team, as the defending champs. Is my reasoning correct?
And did Verne and Gary, in their LSU colored garb, try as hard as they could to dream up any penalty or bad thing for us?

seriously though, we did get some lucky calls. They have a right to be a little upset, but it’s NOTHING like the Arkansas/Florida game. The non-interception was really too close to call for the refs on the field. On the replay, it was almost enough to overturn. Perhaps it should have been, but I think what held them back was that it was hard to tell if the second foot was on the line or not.

Yep. They’ll stop crying eventually. This just fuels the “refs for Florida and Bama” flame. It’s like they don’t even see that this is one of the first questionable calls that went our way all year. 95% of the time, it goes against us.

Tell them that
we missed a wide open receiver in the end zone, had a 12 in the huddle penalty on the two yard line, and took a safety (that set up a touchdown drive after the free kick) after a dropped ball by Julio. They can cry all they want. We had more negatives than they had.

Roll Damn Tide......
I am in Prague, Czech Republic tonight and believe it or not I found a sports bar where I could watch the game. I had the hotel consierge make some calls and he found a place. I was the only college football fan in there (with a couple of hundred soccer fans) but the game was on. There was only one small problem. It’s 7 hours later here and right after Julio’s TD, the bar closed. I got back to the hotel and called my family to get the final result. I live in Atlanta and my three kids (all Bama grads) are already expecting me to come up with SEC championship tickets. Guess I better get to work on it! Rollllll Tide, Roll!!!!!!!!!

I posted this in another thread, but it's worth repeating:
I work with these guys who hate Alabama. I’m not even cocky about it. I don’t say shit. But they can tell how much it means to me because I’m really focused on our games and I refuse to watch with them at a sportsbar. Why would i watch with them? I know they’ll just give me crap for four quarters, regardless, because they don’t care either way.
The other thing about these guys is that they just sort of root for whoever, with no steady loyalty. It’s all in fun to them. Again, I don’t say anything, but they can tell how seriously I take Bama’s season so they try to put Bama down every chance they can.
Anyway, I’ve been getting text messages most of the day that were similar to the comments I’ve received all week. Stuff about LSU’s athleticism being superior to ours, stuff about LSU having the fastest defense in CFB.
That’s all fine and dandy, but the problem I have is that now that Alabama has defeated LSU these same guys have stopped texting and when I see them on Monday I highly doubt they’ll say anything.
I don’t know what it is about Alabama football, but casual fans hate it. I’m tempted to text one of the guys "We just put 450 on the fastest defense in CFB."

It's because they know we're the real deal
They know we’re just as passionate in 2003 as we are in 2009. They don’t get it. They say we’re crazy, but deep down, they admire the love we have for the University of Alabama Crimson Tide. They want Alabama to lose because they want us to be unhappy.
It’s like that single girl who’s friends with your wife or girlfriend. She doesn’t want your wife or girlfriend to be happy and she constantly criticizes people in relationships even though she desperately wants to be with someone. I’ve had too many beers to explain any further, but you catch my drift.

Can anyone confirm if LSU tipped the ball on that punt that rolled down to the ?? inch line?
It looked like they hit the ball at around the 2, causing it to roll down to the ?? inch. If so the ball should have been placed where the touched it initially, and we wouldn’t have had to blow a play with a sneak. I was watching on a tv with basic cable and no tivo, so I couldn’t go back and check.

I'm glad
we got the win but our pass rush has to get better. Jordan Jefferson had all day to throw early in the game and was picking our defense apart. Jarrett Lee just isn’t good enough to do that but we have to start getting more pressure when we blitz. Tennessee and LSU both have picked up most of our blitzes. Roll Tide!

Tiffin for Heisman. I wan’t to make a public apology to Lee Tiffin. Over the coarse of Lee’s career he’s missed a slew of clutch FG’s.I’ve slammed him for it although I’m not sure if his ears were burning or not. I wan’t to say sorry. As for his 2009 season Lee is 22-24. ( I think) He’s been incredible thus far.Breaking Doyle’s all time scoreing record and going 3-3 tonight. He’s been clutch this season and I wouldn’t trade him for any other.

Anyone else see how physically dominate Bama was today? LSU players were dropping like flys. Ingram is a man child, 144 yds. GMac preformed great. Overall agreat team effort. We are the Bully in the SEC, who want’s some?

I honestly...
…don’t remember, which is why I asked. I’ll take your word on Kentucky, as I don’t really recall clutch field goal attempts in that game (I do remember fumbles and Rashad giving away a TD). I remember a miss vs. LSU, and I remember a likely game-winning attempt being blocked. All I remember from Arkansas 2007 is Tiffin nailing the clutch FG near the end of the game when CNS decided he could trust him to make it and our D to get the ball back.
I can also remember many, many other FGs that he has made, soon to be more than any other Bama kicker, ever. This isn’t the only year he’s had games where he’s come to play. Many people forget that he kicked a clutch, game-clinching FG in the 4th quarter vs. Vandy his freshman year…or that he did all he could to beat MSU in 2007 while our offense was giving the game away…or that he hit a clutch FG vs. UF last year after getting mauled and half-blinded by a Florida defender…or that he had stitches put in his foot prior to this season after he was jumped by some depraved scumbags.
We’ve had so many kickers worse than Leigh Tiffin. I can only hope it’s a long time before more people realize it. Like you, I wouldn’t trade him for any other, either.

Anyone else notice that...
…the camera angle during Julio’s TD was so tight that you couldn’t see if any LSU defenders had a chance to tackle him?
I almost pooped.

We were definitely the
assasins tonight. Wow. They needed not only IV’s, but MRI’s, CT’s and all of the medical initials.
Thanks for the embarrssing admissions, but still we need to feed some garbage to the sacrifical lamb. I think cat food is in order. If the snow birds can do it, you can, too.

It's looking more and more like even a 1 loss SEC champ plays for the title
At this point, it’s either that or TCU, Cinci, or Boise. And how about this: if Texas were to somehow be upset in the Big12 CG, then who do you put into the BCS title game against the SEC champ? An undefeated mid-major, or the SECCG loser? I don’t see how you could argue for Texas over the SECCG loser, since the SEC runner up will obviously have lost to a much better opponent. The only other major conference team with one loss is Georgia Tech.

Texas isn't going to lose
Their remaining schedule is crap.
Also, Iowa still has only one loss.

You’re right on Iowa. I was just looking at the one loss teams and saw that they lost today.
On Texas, you’re probably right too but they still have to play the games.

Good News
Jahvid Best is okay. I don’t know how after watching that replay. F’n media with Tebow= “Oh my god!! A concussion!! Serious brain injury!!!” But with Best=“He’s not paralyzed, it’s okay, he just has a concussion.” He’s moving all his extremities. I thought for sure he would have a high thoracic/low cervical fracture from that type of injury.

We held LSU to 9 yards in the 4th quarter
That’s big time.

Great performance by the D in the 4th qtr.
Helps that they weren’t on the field the whole damn time, too!

14 points...
…on three fourth quarter scores is big time.

Goes to show you the work put in by the Tide .LSU players were crampin up left and right.

More specifically
We made Patrick Peterson’s groin/thigh quit, Charles Scott’s collarbone quit, Jordan Jefferson’s ankle quit, and Jarrett Lee’s confidence quit (although it was last year).

Man oh Man!!
I’m having a feeling like I’ll be talking about this team 20 years from now to my kids and grandkids. I’ll sound like the old timers who remember watching the Bear play. I’ll be like “That 2031 recruiting class is pretty good, but we had Julio! And Ingram! And Cody!”

I’m finishing off the night how I spent last night and all day today, taking care of my flu-stricken wife. YAY FLU! She still wanted to go to the game though.

I had an drunk LSU fan touch me. Should I head down to the APHD to get an STD screening?

The touch rule.
Adhere to the touch rule. If someone touches you and it’s not an accident, you should probably immediately try to beat them to death because hey, self defense.

It was a she-WHO fortunately. So no bludgeoning required

Good call.
The touch rule doesn’t apply if a female makes initial contact with a male. In this case you have two options: either try to get her number or ignore it and evacuate.

My brother
was in Baton Rouge for his son’s baseball tournament and was watching the end of the game on a TV somewhere, probably restaurant/bar. Anyway he’s wearing his houndstooth cap that I got him for Christmas a couple years ago and his T-shirt with the Bear’s hounstooth hat that says “still the greatest to ever walk a sideline”. LSU fan comes up to him and says to take off his hat the Bear’s dead. By this time we’re winning, so my brother tells the guy to “shut up your crybaby bullshit!” I couldn’t be prouder!

gotta say...
basking in the atmosphere of elated bama fans on the strip was so much better with the delightful accent of sad and very drunk tiger fans strewn throughout.
