National Championship Game Open Thread
Well, it'll probably be a short thread, since everyone has already said they're not watching tonight. But for those that are, it's the end of college football on the field for awhile. Gameday on. Pregame in about half an hour. It'll keep us busy till the Two and a Half Men Open thread starts later tonight.

but talking about the option, Jefferson is the worst at it.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:13 PM ^
This is seriously like watching Nick Sheridan again. Jefferson is putrid.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:14 PM ^
4th and 18.....and Jefferson fumbles it away...
January 9th, 2012 at 11:14 PM ^
Fear the Tide, Honey Badger

I think even that play could be blamed on LSU's offense.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:16 PM ^
Agreed. Their playcalling has been atrocious.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:15 PM ^
January 9th, 2012 at 11:20 PM ^
an option play
January 9th, 2012 at 11:16 PM ^
glad we got Brady Hoke and not Les Miles
January 9th, 2012 at 11:20 PM ^
The two time National Champ coach.
<br>
<br>And with that, a TD.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:16 PM ^
If aliens were watching this as their first football game kickers would be gods and the sport would suck
Also 5 FG's isn't a "mauling"
January 9th, 2012 at 11:17 PM ^
If a touchdown is going to come, it will probably be from Bama in garbage time.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:18 PM ^
Man, Bama's D is playing out of their mind tonight. But geez, LSU is being so uncreative on offense, and frankly, they need to change their QB. Also, LSU is just not getting the big plays on their defense and special teams that they have thrived on all year. A little unexpected.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:18 PM ^
I don't like either team, but I think Bama embodies more of the SEC arrogance, so I was hoping they'd lose.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:19 PM ^
That's what happens when they replace their bottom 10%. But... Delaney doesn't care.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:23 PM ^
What do you want Delaney to do? He has no control over whether or not SEC teams oversign.
January 10th, 2012 at 9:04 AM ^
commissioners can prevent oversigning. The other conferences don't even do it. The B12, P12 would be on board.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:20 PM ^
Unless HONEY BADGER comes up big, this is a pathetic end to a pathetic game.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:20 PM ^
I called the touchdown.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:20 PM ^
a touchdown
January 9th, 2012 at 11:21 PM ^
Honest question, really. Bama was utterly prepared on offense, despite still not scoring a touchdown. They had a plan - throw on first down - and it worked pretty well. What was LSU's plan? Running the option? Getting sacked? Their offense right now is making Michigan's performance against VT look competent!
EDIT: Touchdown Bama. Game. Set. Match.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:20 PM ^
Do my eyes deceive me? Was that a TD!?!?
January 9th, 2012 at 11:20 PM ^
A shutout. Boring game.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:20 PM ^
What is that cop doing?
January 9th, 2012 at 11:20 PM ^
I blame LSU's offense. If you can't move the ball at least a little bit, the other team is going to take advantage at some point.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:21 PM ^
Of course he misses the extra point. I hate this game so much
January 9th, 2012 at 11:22 PM ^
That guy must have had 21-0 as his prediction, too...
January 9th, 2012 at 11:21 PM ^
Got fucking robbed!!!
January 9th, 2012 at 11:23 PM ^
I think the argument would be stronger if LSU was winning
January 9th, 2012 at 11:25 PM ^
Was everyone said OSU would get smoked by LSU
January 9th, 2012 at 11:23 PM ^
January 9th, 2012 at 11:21 PM ^
is going to have to poop an awful lot of excellence to pull this one out. Let the grass-chewing commence.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:24 PM ^
Chewing...shit, he better start smoking some in a crazy peace pipe that gives him a vision of a Tiger that grants three wishes. His wishes? TD, TD, sweet new hat.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:21 PM ^
that Bama shouldn't be in this game.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:28 PM ^
1. LSU beat them already.
2. See 1, but in Alabama's home stadium.
3. See 1.
4. Repeat 3.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:22 PM ^
Will catch the score and think Bama scored 3 TDs on LSU.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:23 PM ^
Well there goes the controversy. Bama outright. The BCS lives on.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:23 PM ^
LSU picked the worst possible game to absolutely not show up. And Bama looked hyper-prepared. And the result is an interesting, but frankly, not entertaining game.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:23 PM ^
It's never happened in the BCS era, but I can't recall one in the old polls-and-bowls era either.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:23 PM ^
I just threw up in my mouth a little. See you next fall Coach Satan.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:24 PM ^
Tonight?
January 9th, 2012 at 11:24 PM ^
Watch, Miles will make the change at QB now. "Win the game, son!"
January 9th, 2012 at 11:24 PM ^
ZOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ALABAMA IS GONNA SCORE 7 POI................
......Double Field Goal!!!! 6 Points!!!!!!!!!
January 9th, 2012 at 11:24 PM ^
Not going to lie, New Orleans looks to be the dirtiest/"trashiest" city in the country.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:24 PM ^
Alabama and Okie State.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:24 PM ^
With his remote and a beer, thinking "fuck you very much Dave Brandon"?
<br>
<br>Brandon's going to have a hard time selling a lot of those $350 tickets.
