    I hope the Tide is more hyped for this than I am. I would like to beat Oklahoma because they are one of the great teams in the history of college football, but we are not playing for the national championship. Wrong attitude I know and I hope Saban can get the guys up for this one. :?

    I really expect that the Tide will show up for the game, as you noted it is OU.

    Irish should have beat them. Gave that game away. Bama should kill them.

    This guy says Bama is still the best team.

    I would like to see how FSU handles Auburn before I would make that judgement.

    I do agree that Bama is better than Auburn... 9 times out of 10.

    Not so sure about better than the noles.... I need convincing by seeing FSU struggle with Auburn.... which I do not think is going to happen.

    The upside to my staunch and unwavering support for FSU is that if Auburn wins I can always fall back to my SEC roots and say..... "yay".

    I'm not sure this Alabama team is the best. We lost to Auburn and we played many sloppy games and gave up a bunch of yards to inferior teams. I think our defense was young and our play calling has been very questionable. I don't think Auburn outplayed us but I think they did outcoach us. It looks like the right teams are in the BCSCG this year again. :)

    This is the scenario that I have worried about all year. We have turnovers and give the other team a short field and our defense is not good enough to compensate.
    :(

    I didn't see this coming. OU is just playing with tremendous passion tonight, we'll see if they can keep it up. But clearly Alabama is on their heels, you questioned the motivation of the team, maybe you were right.

    You know Terry, I don't think it is the motivation. The only difference in this first half and several other first halves throughout this season is the turnovers. The turnovers are not characteristic of this team but the defensive weakness is. Usually the other team turned the ball over and we capitalized. Tonight the tables have been turned. Let's see if we can overcome this in the second half. :x

    Bama comes out pissed off in the second half.

    There is something wrong with our Offensive Coordinator. We run the ball for about 3 first downs in a row and all of sudden he decides that is working too well. We need to throw the ball. Henry is a beast

    Tom, I'm trying to see the router details on that deck trailing you posted, but for some reason they took the picture right when someone was in the way. Do you have one with a different view, where that dumb blonde doesn't ruin the shot? :oops:

    I think the Sooners have solved whatever qb question they had. This guy is pretty damned good. :(
