    Alright, it National Championship game day. I have to be honest and say I am not feeling good about this. I am worried that the Alabama offense will leave too many points on the table. The Alabama offense needs to be able to move the ball, and use up the clock. The Alabama defense will be tested tonight with the type of qb that has always given them fits. If we turn the ball over or lose the field position game then we will be in trouble. Alabama does not need a herculean offensive effort, but 3 and outs will kill us. If both teams play their best, then I think Alabama wins. Roll Tide! :D

    Me too Terry, Clemson is good and playing well. I am laying all of my remaining points on the Tide!

    I don't quite understand the standings.

    Right now Cindy has 606 pts and a possible 608 which to me should mean that she only has 2 points available for the Champ game. I have 577 points but they show my possible as 577, when I have 41 points left to place on the Tide, which I did.

    Drove down from Savannah yesterday on the way back to Florida and gotta say if the Clemson football team has any skill set to their fans driving ability Alabama has it in the bag.... :D

    They were all decked out with tiger tails, stickers and flags stuck to their vehicles but good gosh they can't drive for ****....

    I'm hoping for a close finger nail biting game that entertains us all but....

    Go ACC!!!

    Anybody notice that Bo Pelini had Youngstown State in the FCS Nat'l Title game this past weekend. They lost to James Madison, but it's only his 2nd year at YSU, Bo is on his way back!!

    Yep and he seems to be happy. Money is not always the answer.

    If Mangino and Cleays were involved, Golden Corral Buffet would have been the perfect sponsor.

    That formation just screamed the direction of the play. Bad decision by Dabo. As Bobda said cost them 7.

    Alabama's offense seems only able to move the ball by running and looks out of sync.
