Watching this SEC championship game.
 
MAN!! I wish our safeties and defense hit like Bamas. Good Lord they know how to tackle and hit. If Jenkins could do that just wow!!

Georgia absolutely blew that game! That was the worst case of clock management I've ever seen. Why in God's name did they run a play at the end instead of spiking the ball?! More to your point though... Mark Barron's been pretty good for Tampa this season so maybe we do need to draft an Alabama safety. The only one eligible for the draft is free safety Robert Lester... So let's get him and send Jenkins back to CB.

Just about as bad as clock management that we (the saints) had against the falcons before halftime.

Lmao!! I heard that. I never suggested we draft a Bama player. I was just saying I wish we had a hard hitting defense.

I loved watching the Bulldogs crash and burn like that. There were plenty of Falcons fans crowing about the BCS and the NFL Championships both belonging to them.

One down and one to go. They ain't winning crappola this year. Just like usual.

lol, I know man. I wish we did too. As much as the defense has improved over the last couple weeks, they still don't hit very hard. Of course, if they did it would be considered a bounty hit. The post below yours is more of what influenced my post.

I wonder if there will ever be parity in the NCAA. I get tired of seeing the same teams at the top of the polls year after year.

I don't know one thing about Notre Dame this year. I haven't seen one of their games, but it was a long drought there for the Irish. It will be an interesting title game, IMO.

I don't think there ever will be parity in NCAA football ... it's all about ratings, regional markets & the best players will always gravitate towards the schools that give them the most exposure. You do get some turnover every other decade or so, but not a whole lot.

It is wonderous what can happen when a defense TACKLES!

What cave have you been in?!?

Growing up, we had Notre Dame, Penn State, U of Miami, Nebraska/Oklahoma, Michigan shoved down our throats...

Notre Dame still has its own TV deal with NBC that rivaled earlier NFL contracts...

When ND got on its roll this season, NBC and its affiliate networks even started running "Rudy" - I hate that sentimental BS joke of a movie...

For years, those that knew and really understood the game, watched as SEC teams would knock one another off our of the polls with one loss and that would be used as an excuse by biased, hypocritical reporters in the North and MidWest to keep the SEC out of it...

Well no more...and when the playoffs get here...and if they are not slanted in their setup...you're gonna see SEC football really take off...

^ THIS. Even just knowing there were dissatisfied or unhappy fans who also watch the Falcons, watching a Georgia loss last night, made me smile.

I just wish the playoffs would have had more teams.
4 teams isnt enough.Should have been 8/12/16.

If you liked the hits in the SEC champ, did you watch Wisconsin-Nebraska? Huge hits in that one.

The more teams you put in a playoff, the more teams that will be **tching every year that they should have been in it. In fact, 4 teams is already too many. Every year you have a couple teams saying they should have been number two, and now you're going to have about 5 or 6 teams, at least, saying that they deserved to be somewhere in the top 4. This is not the NFL, where you have 32 teams divided evenly at 16 for each conference. There are 120 teams in division 1 alone, and that leaves a lot of teams with similar or identical records. You can't have all of them in a playoff, because it would create way, way too many extra games.

Case in point, the NCAA basketball tournament had 64 teams. Every year you had a butt load of mediocre teams whining that they got left out. Now there are 68 teams. It's completely absurd. And the saddest thing is that it hasn't slowed down the whining even a little bit. The more you expand, the more teams you have thinking they deserve to be in, and the worse the product becomes.

But at least they don't play a brutal sport... Football is, and so this new system is stupid, and it WILL NOT fix anything. College football is different, and people never should have messed with it, IMO.

BCS is the biggest crap the world of sports has ever seen IMHO, who ends up playing for the national championship should have nothing to do with how people vote but how you play on the field. There are 11 conferances in the NCAA FBS right now and then you have the 4 indipendants Army, Navy, B&Y and Notre Dame. I'd make a 12 team playoff, the winner of each conferance and the best independant and go from there. Win your conferance and you are in and the all bets would be off. To me that would be much more exciting.

Then there can still be Meineke Car Care Bowl of Texas, Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl, American Standard Concealed Trapway Cadet 3 Right Height Elongated Toilet Bowl or whatever the hell they are called for teams not making the playoffs. However fact is that there is 35 bowl games at the moment and a lot of football fans could't care less about them. teams with 5-7 records were recently made bowl eligble under certain circumstances.

If i had the opportunity to go to a bowl I might like them more bu now to me they are utterly meaningless. I am only interested in the national championship.

Just an observation... I believe some of our backfield used to hit hard in College also... Lets see what those guys do in the NFL...

Its one thing to crash a 5'11" 200lb college back its another thing to throw your self at Steve Jackson or Adrien Peterson.

Yeah, I only go because it's right down the road ... day after Christmas, it's usually a game-day decision depending on what I got going on ... it's not like you can't get tickets ever, :lol:.
