Boom, I appreciate the hard work that you dedicate to the forum each and every week man... great stuff

What are your thoughts about Stanford this week? This may be a statement game against Oregon since the BCS screwed them by keeping Bama ahead of them.

GL this week Boom

Hiya Boom, Tailed a few of your picks last week, went the opposite on UNC and ECU and did well. I appreciate your insight and what you bring to this forum. UNC grad '01 and it's funny, the worst UNC teams back then in the Torberg/Bunting era always seemed to be able to beat Duke while still losing to teams like Furman and now NC State has UNC's number. I like Texas and K-State a lot this week. Any thoughts on Houston being able to cover the big number on Thursday?

Ten Things we Learned

1. I think our first stop has to be in the SEC. " The Game of The Year", Whatever. I have many views on this game and here are a few. These are 2 tremendous defensive football teams. I think the game changed when the refs blew the maze call on the maze pass. There is no way you can give that ball to the defender. The Alabama TE comes down with the ball and then he was stripped. End of argument. Overall it really was a game about two teams who couldn't move the ball. Two bad offenses IMO. I know there defense are good and nobody has given them more credit defensively then me. But come on man, at some point you have to be a little better than that. NO RE MATCH!!! Alabama lost and there out.

2. You know what Florida fans? Your time of being the " goat " on the ten things we learned has now come to a end. A new team has taken your spot. Oklahoma. Would somebody please tell me why these jackoffs are 6th in the country in the BCS? Really? I hate this team. YOU LOST AS A 30 POINT FAVORITE. No other teams in the country could lose like that and only drop a few spots like they did. It makes me sick. Im sorry you lost Ryan yesterday, I really am. But if you guys find away to sneak into the NC game I think I might be sick. Fuck Boomer Sooner.....Moving on.

3. Dominating defense huh? South Carolina, you aint playing Miss S.T, Kentucky, Vandy, and Tennessee anymore. Your playing real teams who can score and trust me, Arkansas should have scored 60. There isn't a more overrated football in the top 25 then the gamecocks. These guys have played nobody. I hope Florida beats you next week. That's right Florida fans!!! Let go Gators!!!Lets go Gators!!!

4. UNC cant beat NCST if they had 100 chances. What is it with this game? For you guys who don't live on the east coast, UNC is NCST bitch. For whatever reason NCST just beats these guys every year and nobody knows why. I cant put a finger on it. I bet UNC yesterday saying this shit has to stop at some point. Nope, wrong. Never again will I do it. For now on every year it will be a auto bet for me. Take NCST every time they play UNC. It like free money.

5. I'm glad Northwestern beat Nebraska for no other reason then I hate Martinez. I think we all should pull for Northwestern..LOL. There like your little brother, you pull for them when there not playing you. Actually I think there coach is a sharp guy who if he wanted to could get a better job. Not sure he is interested tho, he is a loyal guy who probably will be there for many years to come. Fitzgerald is a young innovative guy who could do really good at a school with good athletes.

But for the failure to execute and an idiotic penalty, Alabama should have found the end zone 3 times in that game.

The first was when Brandon Gibson was standing all alone inside the 5 yard line on the west side of the field, but McCarron never looked at him.

The second was Chapman's completely unnecessary block in the back on Barron's interception. That gave Alabama a 1st and 10 at the LSU 35 instead of a 1st and goal from the 3.

The last one is the Maze to Williams play that you mention. What people aren't talking about is how easy of a TD that would have been had Maze thrown the ball to the outside (away from the coverage) instead of inside (into the coverage). Williams was running a corner post with no one covering him. Had Maze led him to where the play was suppose to go (to the outside), it's an easy TD. Instead Williams had to twist around and catch the ball behind him. That allowed Reid to make a play on the ball.

That said, if you watch he replay Reid had neither hand on the ball when Williams hit the ground. His right hand was wrapped around Williams' waist and his left forearm came down on Williams' chest as they hit the ground.

Alabama moved the ball pretty effectively the entire game. They just weren't able to make the plays when they counted the most. A lot of credit has to go to LSU's as well.

Even though I think that Alabama and LSU are clearly the best two teams in college football this season, I think a re-match in BSC national championship game would be a disaster for college football. Alabama had their shot. They clearly should have won the game but didn't. I think another non-SEC team should get a crack at LSU for the title.

I agree that the forum has gone downhill. Seems like a lot of the quality posters have moved on.
