Alabama 24 - LSU 15: Victory/Relief Thread
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 love the Cello (though what was the other reference? I don’t recall making another…)

Maybe not....
…it was mentioning Elgar’s Cello Concerto in the Mark Ingram Friday 10. Maybe I just made the associative leap considering her recording is widely regarded as the definitive version.
You guys alright? Because I’m pretty sure a Milwaukee’s Best Light can is going to come crashing through both of your ceilings pretty soon if it hasn’t already.

Whee, big weekend in December.
Dec 5th: SEC Championship
Dec 6th: Falcons-Eagles. Dang. DANG can’t wait.
You have opinions. We all do. Some of yours may have to do with the Falcons. Sign up today and share them.
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?

No
it switches every year. We will be in Crimson as the home team this year.

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.

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.

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."

enjoy...
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.

One of these ESPN dipshits...

I never understood that
fingertip catches are very rare for a reason, they’re really really really really really hard to make, and often impossible.

Heard it too.
What a moron. Even if he lays out and catches the ball he’s gonna land a yard or two out of bounds. It was a crap throw. There’s no need to put that much mustard on the ball when he’s so wide open. Gmac made a couple of bad overthrows and that pick was just retarded, but he also made some important plays that helped move the ball and loosened up their defense.

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.

2 against Kentucky 2008, 2 against LSU 2008, 1 against Arkansas 2007.........
Come on lets not go through the list, Tiffin has come to play in his senior year.
Your temper brings dishonor to my happy mooshu palace.
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.

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.
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.

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!
