2012 National Title Game: Alabama vs LSU - The Open Thread

Email
PrintWe've arrived at the final destination for the 2011 football season, although it's a destination most of us have little or no desire to see - it's pretty certain there will be plenty who won't even get off the train to take a look at the place.
The LSU Tigers take on the Alabama Crimson Tide for the 2011 National Title. I know you're as thrilled as I am. I realize there are plenty of you who won't be watching this game as some sort of protest - you can still stop by and say hello and talk about whatever else you want.
If you're wondering who to root for, Spencer Hall has all the information you need to know. As for me, I'll be rooting for LSU, because the thought of Nick Saban and Alabama winning another national title sickens me more than if it were Les Miles.
Plus, Loooosiiana > Alabama in terms of a place I might think about living some day.
The thrilling is just oozing out of me, isn't it....?

I am watching this game
for one reason only: to see who wins the CN Bowl Pickem contest.
They're 18 to 22...how perfect were you at that age?

It's down to only
two possible winners, bliss and tbrigg. If Bama wins, bliss wins…LSU, then it’s tbrigg. No one else has a shot to win the shiny new big-screen TV.

Yeah
We typically don’t win recruiting battles against them. That said, I’d put alot more money on Pelini still being here in 4 years than Kelly being at ND. Another 5 losses next year and his fanny will be firmly on the hotseat.

Especially battles over Catholic-raised Illinoisians.
I’m fairly confident it’s already written into Kelly’s contract that he’ll be ousted at four years (so Skip Holtz can return them to the promised land) to go take a job as a SEC offensive coordinator and then become TCU’s head coach.

When you sign 45 recruits every year...
you can afford to have two kickers.
That's the thing...
They must be the absolute WORST at finding kickers.
We went into Florida and got Bondi, who by accounts is a fairly serviceable kicker.
And even if he isn’t, I’m sure we can root out another walk-on from Omaha or Lincoln who played soccer for four years in high school.

So is this
The worst title game of all time? All the warts of the original matchup without the decency to be a competitive matchup this time around.

The 13-2 OU-FSU in 2001 was close
But that wasn’t a freaking rematch of a 9-6 game.

That was a hell of a Miami team
And a pretty “meh” Nebraska team. Not unlike 2001.

It clouds the “true champion” question and has been sufficiently unentertaining that an all-SEC crapfest like this probably won’t happen again sans a playoff.

I'm glad this isn't even close
Bama is clearly the better team, and they should have won the first game. This leaves no room for debate as to who is #1.
Also, LOL at the mom who embarassed her son on national TV the other night for picking Bama over LSU because “LSU’s #1! GEAUX TIGERS!” She’s probably crying about now and I hope her son doesn’t call her on her birthday next year, or send a mother’s day card.

It’s been a rough night. :P
That game was probably PSU’s single most impressive showing of the year, though. Actually I take that back, it definitely was. Nothing else was even close.
"My hardest job is to convince the people of Nebraska that 10-1 is not a losing season." - Tom Osborne
That game against Houston was pretty bad
I remember reading a tweet from one of the PSU players after being selected to play Houston that said something along the lines of “We might as well been picked to play against the local high school JV squad.”
From then on I knew they would lose that game. Houston was a really good team this year.

Discuss this...
I said last night that I didn’t agree with the rematch and that if the regular season is so important that we can’t have a playoff, then I can’t really take this game seriously.
But Alabama has dominated this game. Do I change my mind and go with Alabama, or stick with my principles?

or this lol
"My hardest job is to convince the people of Nebraska that 10-1 is not a losing season." - Tom Osborne
It's hard
LSU’s resume is still far more impressive. On the other hand this was a dominant performance and Alabama is pretty clearly the better team.
Hell with it, I’d probably keep LSU at #1 on the basis that they had more wins, more impressive wins, and beat Alabama on their home turf while Bama’s win (inflated by LSU giving up late) happened on what was a nominally neutral field.
I have always been (and remain) staunchly opposed to a full playoff, but this is a crap sandwich and something has to change.
"My hardest job is to convince the people of Nebraska that 10-1 is not a losing season." - Tom Osborne
Well
at West Virginia (yeah, yeah, Big East, they still won a BCS bowl) by 26
at Alabama
vs Arkansas (11-2) by 24
Georgia (neutral) by 35
That’s 5 wins that are (imo) are very to extremely high quality.
"My hardest job is to convince the people of Nebraska that 10-1 is not a losing season." - Tom Osborne
I'm still not convinced by any of those.
Looking at each of those teams schedules and results, it seems mediocre. I’m having a hard time finding anything decisive for any team this year.
For some reason this seems like the most unexciting national championship victory I've ever seen
Seriously, Saban barely smiled in the interview, the players really don’t seem that enthusiastic…at least compared to what I’ve seen in other years

Well
Here’s hoping this is a turning point in the sentiment toward the current BCS system among the powers that be (public sentiment turned a long time ago). Then at least we can look back and say that some good came out of this debacle.
Somehow this will be spun to say "THE BCS GOT IT RIGHT".
And the only thing that will change is they’ll drop the auto-qualifiers, making it that much easier for SEC teams to make it into the top bowl games.

I read a book instead of watching this game. I feel like the book was more interesting based on everyone’s opinions. Glad I didn’t support this BCS suck-fest. :)
Not the victory, but the action. Not the goal, but the game. In the deed, the glory.
LSU looked like a team forced to play a rematch
like Neb vs. OU in 78 (somewhere around there), FSU and UF in 1996, same here. Really unfair to LSU to have to play this game again, and the uninspired result happens.
Boy, Jefferson looked lost out there.
Google's homepage celebrates too much shit.
