You can't win. You can't break even. You can't get out of the game.

Literally LOL
Then co-worked asked" what’s so funny?" So I told him. Laughed again when he got pissed.

44 – The number of plays run by LSU’s offense in the BSCNCG
So this is why I could still (somewhat) talk Tuesday morning, ‘cause I can promise you I was screaming as loud as humanly possible on all 44 of LSU’s snaps.
God bless our Dark Lord.
That makes...
…two 35,000 of us….

Relentless defense suffocates LSU, lifts Tide to another title | al.com
LSU had talked before the game of studying film of Georgia Southern, which ran for 302 yards on Nov. 19 against the nation’s No. 1 rushing defense.
“They can’t run the option like Georgia Southern,” Smart said of the Tigers. “I promise you, it’s a whole different league. I promise you that’s what they tried to do, and they probably overdid it. They’re not an option team.”
LMAO
God bless our Dark Lord.
HAHA!
Smart throwing some punches there. I was at the Ga Southern game, and it was about as unbelievable and frustrating of a game as I’ve been to, at least for the first half.

GSU offense
was actually our toughest task this year because they could actually run the option. LSU did not bring back memories Shealy running the wishbone.
Here is one:
756- Number of LSU fans who called me Tiger Bait in the French Qt. before the game.
0- Number who called me Tiger Bait after the game.
If Auburn was in New Mexico and we never played them I would still hate them and their dumb coach and their cheating players.

You might have heard me hollering this Monday night. I was the drunk asshole smoking a #14 cigar.

I had that exact same experience.
I even had a stripper call me Tiger Bait Monday afternoon! (She was standing in the doorway, not inside, I swear! :)
God bless our Dark Lord.
Why wouldn't she come inside the club to talk to you?

He has asked himself questions like this his whole life.

Top 4 favorite images of Bama opponents, as of 1/9/12:
4 GA fans about halftime of the blackout game 2008
3 Lamar Thomas on Miami sideline with towel over his head after George Teague’s legendary play
2 Tebow’s tears, 2009
And my new number 1:
The look of hopeless, helpless confusion on Jefferson’s face for almost the entire game Monday night!
I still say Tebow tears. But JJ is close.
The difference is I don’t think JJ cared as much as Tebow.
If Auburn was in New Mexico and we never played them I would still hate them and their dumb coach and their cheating players.
The Honey Bitch had some good frowns
I also liked the pictures of Coach Urban Meyer (CUM) and Fat Phil on ESPN and CBS as analysts. That’s a pretty picture. Processed!

Has anyone noticed...
…how much Urb’s health has improved since he gave up trying to compete against CNS?

The number of times I have heard Brent Musburger mention the name “Honey Badger” since the fourth quarter, as opposed to the 2,479 times before that moment (only slight hyperbole).
I eavesdropped...
…on Musburger talking to another ESPN employee before the game, and he kept laughing at derogatory comments that others were making about the Tide before the game. Never been a big fan, but he didn’t win any points with me this weekend….

Can't believe no one's mentioned this: 92 --
…being the total number of yards gained by LSU, which was by design in Saban and Smart’s game plan, or a sign from the Football Gods, as a tribute to the prior gold-standard defense from — ’92!
#justmilkingthisforallitsworth
Good pick up.
In the 14th year of the BCS Bama wins it’s 14th NC.
If Auburn was in New Mexico and we never played them I would still hate them and their dumb coach and their cheating players.
Oh hell.
See what you did, Jeff?

I'm just glad...
…LSU only spent 71 seconds on our side of the field, ’cause if it had been 72, Fitty would have a whole new post in the works….

Total Offense for LSU – 92 yards….
Total Rushing Yards for Trent Richardson – 96
First downs for LSU- 5
First downs for Alabama – 21
Jordan Jefferson Rushing – Gained 51 yards – Lost 36 yards – Net 15 yards
Total Return Yardage for Tyrann Mathieu – 1 yard
Number of Kickoffs for LSU – 1
Crazy...
…how their kicker was so well-rested, while their punter’s leg fell off in the second half….

5.0 – Points per game allowed by our defense in regulation this year that weren’t scored (or set up inside the 20) by the opponents defense or special teams
6 – shutouts recorded by this defense when excluding opponent defense/special teams scores or returns inside the 20 (Kent St., North Texas, Vandy, Miss St., barn, and LSU)
You qualify for the award for most qualifiers....

And he didn't even mention Eddie Lacy.

You didn't qualify that with "after Trent makes his announcement this afternoon".

Games that we won when the defense didn’t score any TDs, AJ completed more than 50% of his passes, Trent ran for over 100 yards, the other team ran for less than 50, BDS had popcorn on sale 2-for-1, we were playing on the road, nobody snuck booze into the stadium, and a UFO landed at midfield just after the MDB halfrime performance.

You would have taken the award from him...
…but you were disqualified for improper usage of ‘halfrime’…the proper usage would be something like this: “There once was a gal from Nantucket.” That’s a halfrime.

Stolen from this article:
5 Victories for Alabama against the No. 1 team in the AP poll, with the Crimson Tide’s 21-0 victory over LSU on Monday night the latest on the list. Alabama beat Southern Cal 21-20 in 1977, Penn State 14-7 in the Sugar Bowl after the 1978 season, Miami (Fla.) in the Sugar Bowl after the 1992 season and Florida 32-13 in the 2009 SEC championship game. Alabama has been beaten by the No. 1 team three times: 40-0 by Auburn in 1957, 38-6 by Nebraska in the Orange Bowl after the 1971 season and 20-13 by Oklahoma in 2003.
Wow, so Alabama actually has a 5-3 record when playing against the #1 team. That’s pretty cool.
God bless our Dark Lord.
Yep...
…and we were horrible in 1957 (the last year of the Ears Whitworth/pre-Bryant era), Auburn was on probation for cheating (Gasp!), and 2003 was the year without a coach (Thanks for holding the rope, Fran! Thanks for rolling, Price, baby!). Gotta give mad props to the ’71 Husker team, though. One of the greatest teams of all time….

Wait, I just realized,
was LSU not #1 in the AP when we played in November? So I guess that should be 5-4.
God bless our Dark Lord.
You are correct, sir.

We've also lost to #2 as #1 a few times.
Seems like just about the same thing.
