BCS Championship Game Pregame Thread

Slideshow_1436357_jwj_rose_bowl_0317_medium

Boys and girls, it is almost here. After almost twenty years of waiting to get back on this stage, we are now down to our final two hours before kick-off. Players should begin taking the field shortly for warm-ups and the gates are open now. Just breathe.

And now the latest on Rolando McClain from Gentry Estes:

All signs have pointed toward Alabama linebacker Rolando McClain being able to play tonight after dealing with a stomach virus in recent days, That's no shock. There may not be a tougher man on the Crimson Tide's team than McClain, and I've been pretty sure all along that nothing will keep him out of this one, especially since it's expected to be his final college contest.

That said, the question isn't if he will play but how well he can play. Apparently McClain was in pretty bad shape earlier this week and was unable to hold down food. He's doing better now, but even the toughest football player needs energy and fluids to be at his best.

Chime in here with all of your thoughts and comments, and I will keep any breaking news updated on this thread.

Beat Auburn? CHECK. 12-0 regular season? CHECK. Beat the #1 Gators for the SECCG? CHECK. Ingram wins the Heisman? CHECK. Tide defeats the Longhorns for the BCS Championship?...

I think Jessie Spanno said it best when she said....

I’m so excited, I’m so excited! I’m so……..Scared.

I'm in no condition to drive...wait! I shouldn't listen to myself, I'm drunk.

Also, I think Texas leads 14-10 at halftime

and Bama wins 27-17.

Holy shit.

I just found out my sister-in-law’s entire Barner family is coming over to watch the game with us. It’ll be Bama fans 3, Auburn fans 5. I’ve got to scramble and find somewhere else to watch this, though I’ve been told four of them are cheering for us.

No, no, no...

… you kick those motherfuckers out right now. It is exactly this situation that the goddamn Founding Fathers contemplated when they wrote the Second Amendment.

You go meet those bastards out in the yard ala Walt Kowalski as soon as they park the car.
