cotton bowl...alabama dominates

[KowboyKoop 0]

You knew it was coming, and here it is.A. I said we had the best defense and would contain TT's offense, and hardly anyone believed me. Well, we did BETTER than that, we completely dominated them, they had NO chance. Season low in passing yards, couldn't run on us except for a couple QB draws, hahah, oh man, just another average offense to us. B. Everyone said we "had no offense" and couldn't win!!" Well, we squandered a lot of opportunities to put up points, which was our own fault, and the score should have been AT LEAST 23-10, but our offense did enough to win the game. Who led the game in passing?? That's be Brodie Croyle, 275 yards with a TD. Who led the game in rushing?? That'd be Kenneth Darby, 81 yards. Who led the game in receiving?? That'd be Keith Brown, 5 catches, 141 yards, with a TD. Who completely dominated time of possession?? That'd be Alabama, 38:58 to 21:02. C. Where was that Texas Tech all-powerful passing attack that was supposed to "run circles" around us?? A season low 226 yards, WAY under their average. Only reason they scored ONE touchdown is because we foolishly gave them a short field. COMPLETE DOMINATION. Oh man, listening to the plethora of excuses the TT fans in the stands were giving out was just mind-boggling. They were dumbfounded and stunned with the way we completely manhandled them. hahahah, Roll Tide!D. Did anyone see that incredibly blatant pass interference call on TT's defender where he cross-checked our receiver in the end zone, and they picked up the flag??? I was literally in the fourth row RIGHT in front of that play, that was incredibly atrocious call, cost us a sure TD right there. Didn't matter though, our defense proved that it was the best in the nation.E. I said BEFORE the season started that we'd be a surprise team and could be pretty good, and maintained that ALL YEAR. WE lost a couple tough games, including an overtime loss to LSU which just dominated "ACC powerhouse Miami" (joke), but we ended up 10-2 and Cotton Bowl champions playing in (arguably) the strongest conference in the nation. I was right, but of course, I won't get any props for being right, just flamed because my team didn't win the national title. Whatever. F. That kick was ugly as f*ck. That just proves that God is an Alabama fan. He couldn't let the officals steal that game from us like they tried to do a couple times. G. #1 defense in the country, flat out and all around. Some said Miami's was better...hmm, LSU says no. Some said VT's was better..hmm, Florida St. and Louisville say no. 10 points a game. Alabama. Gonna be almost (losing two key players) as good next year. Gonna be another good year.Hey, ALLLLL you people who thought Texas Tech was "too powerful" for us...come on, let me here those excuses now. hahahahahahha

I really believe it was rigged.

I picked Alabama to win...and LSU and Auburn and Georgia and Florida...What the heck happened to Georgia in the beginning? And Auburn's offense looked horrible, just horrible.But anyway, Alabama, yes, excellent defense.

the best part was seeing what classless a*sholes the TT fans were. I sat near the entrance tunnel, and at halftime they were throwing garbage and sh*t at the players and as Prothro (who is still on crutches from his broken ankle) walked by several of the fans told him they were glad he broke his ankle and that they hoped his family gets in a plane crash (that is pretty bad...even though it was only a few fans). Also, I can list probably about 10 excuses off the top of my head about why TT's offense was dominated....they absolutely refused to acknowledge how good our defense was....when TT's players came on the the field, most of the 'Bama fans simply clapped politely, but when Bama came on and off the field, they were booed and called some pretty explicit names...simply no class. There's a big difference between booing stuff that happens on the field and booing and wishing personal injury upon your opponent, that was simply the worst set of fans I think I have ever encountered. I hope it was only the section I was sitting in, but I'm not sure, everyone single one I talked too came off as a complete as*hole.

I thought Georgia might come out a little overconfident and fall behind early..but not to that degree. Holy sh*t, yes, they got smoked at the beginning. I picked every SEC team to win except for Florida, so I got a few wrong. Also, yes, Auburn looked horrible...even though they did beat us, it is nice to say our record is better.

Did you even watch the game?TT was lucky that game was as close as it was. Bama could have easily had another touchdown and two FGs. One pass to Keith Brown, had it been half a yard shorter, would have been a sure TD.The slop FG was make up for the missed 20-something yarder earlier. The game wasnt even close. You get close scores in a game when a team like Bama (super strong defense and comparatively weak offense) is playing.

despite the score, we controlled the game and our defense dominated them. Our offense squandered a few opportunities, and the refs took 7 away from us, but we still controlled the ball the whole game and their "high powered defense which was supposed to run circles around us" got stuffed all day. We dominated them, it is a fact. Didn't you say we'd lose that game...lol. OWNED. Seriously though, there's a reason Alabama has the best defense in the country, the most double-digit win seasons of any college football team, the most bowl wins of any team in college football, and...oh yeah, THE MOST NATIONAL TITLES OF ANY TEAM IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL!!! We're the best, and we'll be contending for a national title next year. Roll Tide.

plus the ridiculously atrocious non-interference call in the first half where the DB cross-checked our receiver before the ball got to him....that would have been 7. Teneight didn't watch the game, he just hates me and doesn't want to admit our defense completely dominated the game, just like I said they would.

[teneight 1]

i didnt watch the whole game, i was busy.anyways, i was just kidding with your koop. i even told you in another thread congrats on the bama win. lol seriously though, i don't hate you as much anymore.

[KowboyKoop 0]

i didnt watch the whole game, i was busy.I know. It is obvious.anyways, i was just kidding with your koop. i even told you in another thread congrats on the bama win. lol seriously though, i don't hate you as much anymore.that's why you find every thread I post in and try to randomly flame me?? Good one. I know you hate me, I don't really care.

Anyways, Alabama dominated the Cotton Bowl, and they are gonna be a dominant powerhouse next year. Roll Tide.

USC says, and I quote, " WHO CARES ABOUT ALABAMA? Watch my win my 3rd straight title."On the classless fans from TT, have you ever been to a Florida or LSU game? Those are two of the worst sets of fans...

[PAYforUSC 0]

yes, sir!

[robert f 0]

It will be a really good football season next year. I do think Bama is on their way up. OSU should be a contender also. If Quinn comes back ND should do well again.I think it will be Georgia or LSU that takes the title next year.

yes, sir!

Georgia??? aren't they losing Shockley and a bunch of other players!?!? I think they are. LSU, Auburn, Alabama, and Florida are all returning a large majority of starters, I do believe, so they all could be very strong next year. ND plays a tough schedule next year, supposedly, they'll have to be a lot better team than this year, not sure if they'll have a good D or not. We'll see about them. I am sure they'll be vastly overrated in the preseason.

ND has been overrated ever since Wies became their head coach

Hasnt ND won more national titles than anyone else? I could be wrong, but I thought I heard that somewhere.

About those TT fans...Here's why you noticed them and their behavior:1. The game is in Texas and (likely) there were more TT fans there.2. Cotton Bowl is still a big to some of the old SWC schools. I'm not sure if they're aware the BCS exists.3. Since TT hasnt won crap, getting to any bowl was huge. Unlike Alabama which goes for the national title every year.4 TT does have a bit of an attitude. They're one of the red-headed stepchild schools (UT and A&M are considered the big boys) in Texas along with a host of others. However since they went to the Big 12 with UT and A&M, they think pretty highly of themselves. Kind of like the little annoying guy of the group that talk a lot of shit, but would get his ass kicked if he was by himself.

I don't think that's correct. Technically, the team credited with the most is Yale, I think, or maybe its Harvard....but, I'm not sure how credible those are, as there were hardly any football teams and the game used to be like, 25 players on the field for each team and stuff...and there has been so many methods to determine national champions in the past, some more credible than others....all I know is that Alabama has 12 "recognized" national titles and that they have a few more years where they gained a "share" or something like that, and Bama fans say they have the most. Being a Bama fan, I like to just say we have 12 and leave it at that, I don't think any MAJOR college football program has more recognized titles, but I don't know any place to get a consensus answer on that....pretty murky business back in the day, probably a lot of politics involved. However, the fact remains that ND will always be massively overrated anytime they can field a decent team b/c of the retarded media.

I would have no problem with them if it was just a matter of them being a little arrongant. That's not that big of a deal. But throwing trash at the players on multiple occasions and wishing personal injury and such to already injured players and their families and other things like that is flat out unacceptable, I don't care what the circumstances of the university or whatever. Also, yeah, you're right in all you said above, and yes, TT fans outnumbered us about 70/30...but boy, I was sitting right in the middle of a lot of the TT fans..and it sure was pretty quiet for most of the game.....oh yeah, I guess that's because they ain't never seen no defense like an SEC defense before. OWNED!

I heard this on the radio the other day, so, I'm assuming it's correct, but, in the modern era(since 1936) Notre Dame has won more national championships than anyone else. Just droppin' that in. Oh, and Koop, if you think TT fans are bad, I went to the Iowa/Wisconsin game a long time ago in Madison, I was called a "heathen son of a cunt licking whore." ...I was 11. That same game, several Iowa players were hit with everything from batteries to lit cigarettes being thrown from the stands.
