replied to Final thoughts and goodbye in College Football Most agreed that Watson was the most talented player going into the game. A very select few considered Henry, merely a tailback, the best player on either side of the ball for both teams. And of course they outgained and had more first downs.....they had to. Alabama had better starting field position thanks to the INT, recovered onside kick, and return for touchdown. Alabama's efficiency trumped Clemson: .634 points per play, compared to .47 points per play for the Tigers. It is very telling that Alabama effortlessly controlled the ground game, setting up play-action success and converting critical 3rd downs at a higher rate than Clemson. They put up 45 points in very bland fashion. Clemson made many great plays, and Watson shined as most, including the Alabama coaching staff, thought he would. But again, their "C" game was still enough to trump Clemson's "A" game and most spirited effort all season, even with the pressures of the National Championship at stake. Alabama is the pinnacle, and going through them is nearly a requirement these days to get to that point. Clemson has a bright future. Hang your hat on that at the very least. And just because people didn't see things the way you did, didn't mean they were wrong, and the fact that an objective or subjective viewpoint "upset" you, shows an err in judgement to begin with. Huge red flag. Clearly your grasp for the game isn't perfect, and like most of us, you are only correct slightly more often than not. Or as far as bowl season was concerned, only about 40% of the time. Excuses are no good hear, especially in hindsight. Humility in hindsight gets you much further and teaches you more in the long run. Come back next season. Why not? Don't let those with quality opinions chase you off because they see something differently than you. No sense in pounding your chest over a keyboard.

I will give you Clemson +16.5 points right now for as much money as you can afford to bet. I like Alabama tonight, but I'd take the additional points for $500 if you're willing to spread your exposure to another man. Good luck either way, Jimmy.

replied to FG Rules in College Football But again, the refs made their judgement call and due to the rule you and they have cited on television, it makes it not possible to review officially. It's just one of those shiitty things in sports you have to deal with. View Post \| View Thread	poppingbands17	8	December 26, 2015 View Post \| View Thread

replied to * Week 11 NCAA football * ( New Thread ) in College Football Quote Originally Posted by acoustix: Not the same team that struggled with Tennessee? That was only 3 weeks ago. It's all about matchups. LSU does not match up well against Alabama. And they are predictable. If Bama is great at anything it is stopping the run. So how is LSU going to win running ANYONE up the middle 50 times? Ohio State or Clemson could spread Alabama out and leave room for mistakes. Agreed, they aren't a different team now. But LSU did try to spread it out...they just failed miserably because Alabama shut down the running game early on and their passing plays became forced. Where they really lost was the time of possession battle. Bad play calls resulted in too many short drives and punts. If anything, Alabama is predictable on offense...but still could not be stopped. Also, Fournette didn't even rush the ball 20 times...LSU as a team only had 26 rushing attempts. This whole notion that they played a predictable game is rubbish....they tried to keep Alabama on their toes, but blew it from every angle. And no, I'm not one of those "Bammer fans" or an "SEC guy." There are handful of really good teams that could beat anyone on any given day...it's time fans/alumni of each of these programs accept it.

Getting SMACKED in the mouth...and I do mean SMACKED. But see....all this means nothing to me because my team is Clemson. I dont associate myself with the 13 other teams from our league. Oh, but people like you sure do associate themselves with all the schools in the SEC. pssssss..... hey bro, let me tell ya a little secret. Lean in a little close so you dont get embarrassed.....that inbred way of thinking is silly.....and everybody is laughing at you, not with you. "The East done well" "flat on there faces" Calling someone else "inbred." Apparently you can't read either....You failed to grasp that I said I do not support the SEC at all....not a fan of any team within the conference. So no, I'm not an "SEC guy." Was just pointing out your lack of understanding as to what a fact is,and that the comments passed around here only instigate argument rather than productive discussion... Telling someone to lean in close on an online forum. Carry on. View Post \| View Thread	Boom_Boom	161	November 06, 2015 View Post \| View Thread
replied to * Week 10 NCAA football * in College Football Quote Originally Posted by bk1374: I believe Boom was specifically referring to the SEC West in that comment, and they went 2-5. If that's the case, his statement holds merit, but isn't factual. Doesn't mean teams weren't good because they lost a bowl game. It still uses opinions to form conclusions. And the first paragraph accurately describes how he approaches everything.....facts are measurable. "Alabama gets a pass on just about everything"....is NOT a factual statement. I couldn't care less about any conference or it's perception.....but the insecurity here is unreal. Never do these threads actually discuss X's and O's or anything in depth about a game. It's a bunch of penis-envy back and forth from people trying to thump their chest harder than the other. Which is exactly why they're so entertaining. Not like pointing any of this out matters....it'll just fuel the insanity more. Guess it's better to sit in the stands at the circus and watch the clowns do their thing.

replied to * Week 10 NCAA football * in College Football Quote Originally Posted by Boom_Boom: You SEC guys have to stop assuming the world revolves around you...it don't When you have to go out of conference you get bich smacked look at the bowl season last year as the greatest touted division in the history of football got bich smacked all over the fields they played on. That my friend is a FACT.... Deal with it It appears you're confused on the definition of the word "fact." You make subjective statements, capitalize the word "fact" and then use a light bulb to try and force them on people. On top of that, you constantly bring up past seasons' results whenever convenient, yet criticize those when they make a similar reference. I could care less about conference vs. conference arguments, but it is amusing how hypocritical you are when it comes to them. Similar to my prior statement, you talk down to those who support their conference as a whole, but continue to group them together yourself with your "Anti-SEC" rhetoric to bash 14 programs at one time. Since we're on the topic of facts and prior results... FACT checking your statement above: The SEC was 7-5 in bowls last season, and 2-1 versus the ACC. The ACC was 4-7 in bowls last season, the 2nd worst winning percentage of the Power 5 conferences. Using these figures, one can conclude that the SEC actually fared well, while the ACC was the one that "got bich smacked all over the fields they played on."
