I think OSU will give them a game.......be surprised if they don't.

MM

Hope they beat each other silly. But I really want to see a PAC-SEC game. Otherwise the SEC fans will go on for another year about how they could'a, would'a, shoulda. Roll Tide!

I have a feeling this game will be a little closer than the last.

27-20 Bama.

I have no idea on this one, I have seen Bama play several times this year but have not seen OSU except where they damn near lost to Michigan.

This game is much more my style than the last......

That was a live ball

Agreed. Roll Tide!

This could be a really good game...

Changing my score prediction,

35-14 OSU.....grin

Agreed. So would I, Bill.....

What was that duma$$ thinking?!?!?

Always hated the little stickers on the Suckeyes helmets. Reminds me of High School! And besides, they look more like Marihuana leafs than black-eyed peas

Good goal line stand by Bama!

I believe my Tide gonna have its hands full.

What a punt!

Returner lost his lid too!

FUMBLE! Tide recovers!!!

I would agree. If the 2015 butteyes team shows up tonight then Bama could be in trouble.

BUT I seriously believe BAMA will reverse the SEC West bowl game black eye that's lingering.

Bama will wear down tOSU by mid 3rd.

This real football here. Ducks/Noles was just a warmup game.....

What about now Sam?

14-3 Bama!

OSU can't afford those kind of mistakes & expect to win.

Tide made 'em pay.

MM

I liked your 35-14 you just typed the wrong team in. Tide going to win.

Elliott just ran that Bama dude right the he11 over....

Yep. Bama fans are just damn glad they are playing the Suckeyes instead of TCU

As much as I dislike Saban, he's still one hell of a coach. Roll Tide!

I'm sticking with the original guess.

Old Urban just $hit his pants when his 250lb. QB hurdled a guy.....

Wow what an arm on the big man....

He's a big SOB! Pretty nimble too. How tall is he, I wonder?

Dam wish the Steelers could get Landon Collins somehow to replace Polamalu...

And another mistake costs OSU............

MM

Another great Goal Line stand by Bama! Tide leads 7 to 6

Is Polamalu definitely out for the ROS?

On a side note, these "mayhem" commercials suck! I like the accident ones much better...

Collins is the real deal for the Tide,

Steelers draft a LOT of Big 10 players.......

I like the AT&T one with Joe Montanna wearing all the SB Rings!

And another...he was out by 4 feet....

Was just wondering the same thing? Steelers may need him on Saturday!

Bama wins by 17

No, he may actually be ready this weekend. But could be his last year, if not it won't be much longer.

6'5" 250 lbs.

He looks a lot like Jamarcus Russell back there. His size/mannerisms.....

They need to check OSU for rabies,.....they never play like this.

Thanks BTW why did he cut his hair?

Kinda reminds me of Dante Culpepper!

He did a year ago for a VFW benefit if I remember right.

Looks to me like Bama is about to take the game over, they are the more physical team at the moment. We'll see how this plays out but right now it is obvious who the better team is.

BULLSHIITT!!! That was a friggin saftey!!!

Thanks TX!!

He throws like Russell. Rears his arm back like Russell did. Runs like him too.

Culpepper had a quicker release but wasn't as nimble....

How the hell was that not a safety

Exactly

Zebras are trying to keep the Suckeyes in the game.

No way that was a safety. Not ever has that been, nor will it be.

That's BS - shoulda been a safety, he was still trying to make a play, hadn't tucked it so forward progress shouldn't have been called.

So, refs are for osu.

PREZACTLEY.

I think OSUs QB is gonna lose the ball if he keeps waving it around like he does.

Russell did a lot of that also. Didn't work so well for him in the pros.....

There are missed calls........then there is holy fuggin' chit, are you gawddamn retarded calls.


That was a safety.

QB was still trying to throw. Play wasn't dead. If he'd got it off they'd have called it a pass wouldn't they?

Trying to make a play does not mean forward progress has not stopped. He doesn't have to give up on the play for forward progress to be called.

Yeah, right

Correct, on if he got the pass off, but that still does not negate forward progress.

Play does not have to be dead to call forward progress. Players do not have to give up on making a play for it to be called. Yes the rule benefits the offense but that is the rule. Correct call on the field.

Exactly...

Fair catch at the 5??? Dumass, just get outta the way and block someone...

So, uh, what yer a drinking tonight, SamO.

Yep, initial contact was made outside the EZ & pushed back.

To be a safety, the initial contact would have had to be in the EZ.

MM

Jones is gonna cost OSU big if he keeps trying to extend the play in their own red zone. He needs to throw it away. He's trying to do too much....

this whole tOSU team is here a year too soon. TO's OTW!!

Picked off......

You called it, 2muchgun! INT by Bama!

With a runner, it's forward progress. With the qb, it's called "in the grasp" and should've been whistled dead but wasn't - shoulda been a safety!

Bama's TE Vogler is a big ole white boy!

Alabama is using the wrong back on the short plays IMo.

Roll Tide! 21 to 6 !!!

TD Tide...

But it worked on those 2... I'll have my crow roasted please!

Yep, and if they would keep having Elliot hit that Alabama line they would be sucking air by the third and wouldnt have given up 7.

OSU's mistakes are making 'Bama look really good........2 of 3 scores on really short drives off mistakes.

Might be over.............

MM

Cornbread on the side?

Your iPad working better, now, Doc ?

He is a dang hard runner. I think some of Bama's secondary is second guessing tackling him again.

Yeah, keep running the middle.

Got any blackeyed peas too?

MM

Yep. If They had either of other 2 QBs it would be one he11 of a matchup.

Barrett is awesome......

True, but I still think the Buckeyes didn't deserve to even be in this game! TCU was robbed

Penalized 15 for being a punk......

Dude, that was my 'just kidding' guess!

NAH. You a whiner now??

MM

Oregon will feast on Alabama's secondary.

My Granddad always claimed that black-eyed peas on New Years Day was a Nigra's tradition, because that's all they could afford to eat.
Still, though, my family has been eating black-eyed peas on New Year's Day for all of my 54 years of living.

I cooked up a mess of greens and peas just for today!!!

Baylor beat TCU.

Mich St. Beat Baylor.

OSU beat Mich St.

What's it all mean? Not much. Every year someone will feel like they got screwed. That's about it.....

Yes, he is........beat MSU almost single handed-didn't think he had it in 'im, but he done it.

MM

I figured you were joshing, or drunk.

Neal, i got a samsung 4. Its slow.

Nah. I've always been a Buckeyes hater, though. Goes back to my days at TAMU.

Collins is down. Real bad news for Bama if they lose him.....

If Collins is out it will be very bad for 'Bama!

Wow. PI?

Bama has their work cut out.

I love em! Used to hate picking them as a kid, though.

He's been hurt.

These injuries will make the NC very interesting. A new dynamic.

That's what I'm talkin' bout!

Go Harbaugh!.......grin

I said IF they kept running him, not that they WOULD.

I can't hold that against you; my heart doesn't have any love for them either.............except against the SEC.

(My flame suit is on, now)

MM

That was a big TD! Now watch BAMA negate it.

So is it safe to say Braxton Miller is done as a starter at OSU?.

I mean Barrett is awesome, and they got a 6'5" 250lb. monster with a cannon in Jones......

At least it beats the hell out of Dial-up Internet connection. How did we ever survive those days

Given equal talent on the field, I'd bet on Harbaugh every single time.

MM

Sure hope so! What was the Vegas line on this game?

I dunno.......Barrett is a better passer & at least as good a runner & he'll be a sophomore. Miller might transfer........

MM

OSU is running on Bama pretty easily.

If they had Barrett or Miller I think Bama D would really be on it's heels right now.

Pretty amazing that Suckeyes have 3 QBs that can play at such a high level......

Jones is nowhere near the other 2.

MM

Not so sure, they won their biggest game by far with him and playing this one pretty dang good!

From the looks of this game, so far, I'd say the Ducks have a pretty good shot at being National Champions. Might be the best Championship game we've seen in years!

Bama better start tackling better! Roll Tide!!!

Did he say Fork Union? That's the National military school for troubled teens!! My college roommate went there. Said it sucked.

Alabama doing what Alabama has done this year, play solid, get a lead and then let off the gas on the field.

Hell of a catch!

Can't believe he made that catch and stayed in bounds! Damnit!

Helluva catch & throw............

MM

Hmmm. Maybe we are wrong. Did you see the lick he laid on that DB on the tackle? Wow.

Then he throws a laser.

He sure has the tools.....

By the way, nice watching the game with you guys - too bad we're not in the same place, would be even better I'm sure!

He has a cannon. Just don't run like the other 2 do.

May be a better pro though....

Bosa is a bad dude in the middle for OSU.

which is exactly why and how all of these underdogs have been winning. They come out fast, score and do not stop playing. Clemson is the best example of that thus far. Like I said earlier, it's like the coaches met at Denny's and wrote the go fast and don't stop playbook!!

Saban always sounds like he's about to cry on his halftime interviews. Whether he's winning or not. He better give one HELL of a good locker room speech!

Bama has let OSU back in the game. Gonna be an interesting second half.

Wasn't Jones; it was Spencer, a WR who threw it.

MM

During pre-game coverage and again as the teams were exiting the field, I keep seeing a Salvation Army band hovering around THE ohio state university side. What's that all about?

I think these 2 teams are much more physical than the other 2 playoff teams we saw. This game is going right about as expected. Some serious licks being dished out in this one!

Does the guy in the Dr Pepper commercials remind any of y'all of Steve Spurrier?

Yeah it would........with a few pops.

(2muchgun & I do know each other).

MM

That's the First thing I thought of back when they started airing those commercials...

Glad it's not just me...

Yup and tOSU is going to be really good for the next 3 years, which means the most hated team.

This^^^. Looking grim now for Tide.

First time I saw it, I thought it WAS Spurrier! I had to do a double take.

They look more phyysical than the Ducks, to me also, 2mg.

ESPN is pissing me off not showing the Baylor vs Michican highlights during halftime. I didn't get to see the game.

agreed! but i've always thought that oregon was more of a "finesse" team for lack of a better term

Well, the John Deere Ducks taught FSU something about "physical" a little while ago. They looked pretty tough.

Yes they did! A real ass whoopin!

I think this year's Ducks are more physical than in the past.

While the physical MS taught the finess Bears a trick also.

FS actually got to play a real team for once this year. Look what happened. If there were in the PAC 12 they would have 3 or more losses this season. They would have had 3 in the SEC as well. They didn't deserve to be in this game. Should have been TCU

Agreed!

If tOSU wins this game.....I am taking my best bottle of Pappy to bed and never leaving.

Dumbass announcer is pissing me off - very obviously for osu...

Bama is shocked! Glad I don't bet on Football!

Can't argue with the FSU part; as for TCU............

MM

No doubt!

Wouldn't waste Pappy doin' that; just sayin'

MM

Alabama is lost right now

good lord ohio's defense is puttin it on them!

Hope Lane Kiffen can pull something out of ass to get the Tide back on track!

Yep, OSU definitely has the momentum!

Good point. I'll save it until Gamecocks or Clemson win the NC!

I am surprised by this, I thought, after watching the first few possessions that Bama would be able to take over and control this game. Ohio state is no push over and right now they are putting it to Alabama.

I think the OSU is going to be good for a long time too, they are young.

Send me the Pappy. It will be used properly, I can assure you....

Sims can get rattled. This is one of those times. Kiffin better put him back together quick. But even more important is Bama's secondary.

Yep!

Alabama's secondary is awful

Lot of time left, but Bama DF is gonna have to get some takeways!

Yep, this will go to the wire.

MM

I'm waiting for Jones to make a mistake. He looks damm good for his second game. He has some serious velocity on his passes.....

I'm sorry, while I don't care that FSU lost, the level of retard in your post is something to behold. GT lost to FSU just a few weeks ago and absolutely aszraped a Miss State team yesterday that was considered the best in the SEC most of the year.

The Pac 12 is pure shyt, perhaps Oregon will finally win a championship this year but the Pac 12's other division winner just lost to a mediocre Boise team and it's 3rd best team had all it could handle with a basketball school.

Until the Pac 12 finally wins more than one championship in the past quarter century, it's ignorant fan base should be seen and not heard from.

TD Suckeyes....

Gotta love a pick 6!

Int to the house for OSU...stuffed 'em.

MM

Bama is in deep doodoo.....

Crimson turd

Hurt feelers for the ACC???????

MM

Yep, the way OSU is playing and lack of play from Bama, thinking it may be over now...

This is a very physical football game

I'd like to think so, but a lot of time left.

MM

See that hit??? That's Big Ten football.

Yep If I was. Saban, I'd be seriously thinking about replacing Sims right now.

No dumbasz, I just can't stand stupid people.

A Pac 12 fan talking smack? Are you kidding me? Half the SEC, Big 10 and ACC would run train in that trainwreck of a conference.

OSU was predicted to win...anyway. no Surprise that any of my family in Ohio is answering their cell phones.

Doc

Would like to see 'Bama or any other SEC teams play in 15 degree weather with the snow coming down...........

MM

Yes Pac 12 ain't $hit right now. USC only beat Nebraska by 3 as well. Neither Oregon nor FSU had a very hard run.

It will be interesting to see the contrast in styles of the championship game. Oregon is fast, but OSU and Bama are flat out physical and may wear them down. I would think Oregon would need to get out to a lead and try to hold it. In a tight game late, I'd take one of these 2 teams over the Ducks.....

GFY & I mean that most sincerely.

MM

TD Tide!!!

Don't sweat it, he obviously hates the guy in the mirror if he hates dumb people.

Stop phhking goats, the syphilis is eating your brain away.

I sooooo agree. Too many teams play bowl games at home, while it has always been a road game for the Big 10.

Come up to the Big House and play in January. Last New Years day it snowed a foot and they played a outside hockey game there. Over 100, 000 attended....

Uh, not anywhere I saw - Alabama by 8 was the final line I think.

MSU was physical when they played them, but their game plan got too conservative in the 2nd half & let Oregon back in the game.

Do not underestimate Oregon, regardless of the rest of the Pac 12.

MM

We need to ask SamO what stocks he is buying, Neal.

They might be from Alabama but they are smart enough to not want to be in Michigan in January. Hell, half of Michigan doesn't want to be in Michigan in January.

Very impressive drive by Bama! I sense a TO in the making....

^^^This^^^

No doubt, Doc!

You can't even get that right.......it's sheep, not goats. We ain't Muslims.

You're a sad case.

MM

We know you fear the mirror. What with your mommy issues and the constant fear that you share the same sociopathic genetics as your sibling.

I'm not the one that's worried.

Bama DF is stepping up!

Sure ain't me, ginger.

I know, with all the brother's coming in your house to cuckold the wife, I'm sure you feel safe.

Always where your posts end up....cuckold or gay, must be Freudian.

Must be, but it's obvious you are a little man. If you're lucky you'll end up as popular as Ken Howell.

Bama is losing key players....not so good!

Bama lucky no PI call on that...lotsa grabbing....

That was interference...........'Bama was lucky.

MM

Oh my look at this field position.....

Good punt!

No way!!

WOW 21 yard punt!!

Meyers can't BELIEVE he didn't get a pass interference call there from the Zebras!

son of a bitch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WTH kind of offensive plays is Saban calling???

If Bama loses they now deserve it....

No way...

Wow!

Bama was helped

They were both hand checking...

ShiiTT !!! I can't friggin believe Sims threw that INT!!!

And Simms just threw away their momentum

Well, at least it's a game worth watching to the end! Haven't been many of those this bowl season.

Yep! And All null and void after that Damn INT

This is one helluva game. Somehow I knew it would be.

Could the Big 10 pull out 3 New Years day bowl victories?

Yep, in spite of the mistakes.

MM

Sims is on a really bad night. If big 0 can't take this game maybe TCU should have been there. He's trying to give it to you.

Bama DF will have to win this game! Sims is having a real bad day!

OSU has Friggin Houdini for a QB..

How did he get outta that safety.?

Meyers just tossed his head set! Loving it !!!

This roughing the kicker thing should be a thing of the past. It's BS. Especially, with kickers running all over the place....rugby style!

I say treat them just like QB's!!

Urban's pissed..........

MM

I'd give Meyer 15 for USC for throwing the headset.....grin

Agreed, David. It's BS

Maybe Sims should stick to running the football instead of throwing it on this series!!!

It's all on OSU's defense right now. If 'Bama scores a TD it's over.

MM

4 down territory...........

MM

What a kick.

MM

That's what I thought too!

WTF was that play by Simms. Is he throwing this game?

But Bama's D has been playing good and it was 4th and 9...

Come on DF!

Bama is getting beat up in this game.....

Three pages of name calling insults traded and NOBODY has posted the score of the game.

it's over.....

Thats game!

There's the ball game.

Hell of a game compared to Duckboys and Indians.


Oh, just got better.

It WAS 34 to 28!!! 42 to 28 now! Bama is done!

42-28 in a sec...

Stick a fork in 'em.

MM

Turn out the lights.......

42-28

Now all can see why I dont bet on ball games...

I would have lost my money!

G'night guys! Happy new year!

woooo hooooooooo----Go SEC East!!!!!

Bring out Dandy Don

Bama didn't deserve this win, the way they played. I believe they got out coached, today!

It was fun..........we'll do it again next week.

MM

Hey, don't forget my Razorbacks!

not over yet kids.....

Not over till its over

They should be in the East!!

It would be the come back of the year!

They gave this game away....just not hungry enough to finish strong

And the Aggies too!

Sims sucks.

All 3 OSU QBs are easily better.....

No, that was MSU vs Baylor today.

MM

NO! We have to draw the line somewhere!

Ought OH!!!! TD Tide! Onside kick upcoming!

OK I have two friends who posted the score after I asked.... 42 - 28.

Be interested in knowing which team has the 42.

Or, if that's too much to ask....... which one has 28..

Onside
Nope

Crap! Kicker did a good job, but no such luck.

Too slow with this tab 4 Neal.

WTF was that call by Meyers?

Why pass, 3 runs milk some clock and make Alabama use their TO's, then punt and pin them deep. Dumb, dumb, dumb...

Sorry, Buckeye's are ahead!

Gene 42 OSU 35 Alabama

Better convert this first down.
Well that didn't happen.

Meyers just gave Bama another shot with that dumbass call!

Cur, bama spread , on toast

1:33 to go! Bama can tie it with a TD

Thanks....... I don't have ESPN TV.

This one's gonna end with a Hail Mary!

If that was a completion it was also a fumble, WTF?

MM

Bama's got 1 more shot with 8 seconds left

Any way you look at it BAMA blew this one. SEC West got knocked the F out!!

Go Gamecocks!!

Go ClemPson---(yes they play football there)---TIGERS!!!!

Yo BOB!!!!!!!

Hail Mary intercepted

Fat lady just sang.

Bama's luck just ran out. Buckeyes get a INT. In the end zone.

OSU wins

No SEC NC this year.

MM

Well, well, well.

The mighty SEC West went 2-5 in bowl games.....

Bucks and Ducks.

Congrats, Buckeyes.

Have any of y'all noticed how Steelhead cut waaay back on his shilling for the SEC this whole season?

He may have a crystal ball.

Not a Buckeye fan, but I;m glad they won.

MM

Yes they did David! At least it was a good game! I don't think OSU can beat the Ducks, though. Ought to be a barn burner for the Championship!

Aggie's will dominate next year!

Got to be a relief to come away with a win after that stupid-assed play call on first down.

I didn't notice - did the 'Bama players stick around to shake hands?

I don't think it was the coaching. It looked to me like from the beginning of the game Alabama had forgotten how to tackle.

Lane Kiffin looks like Gene Chizik.

You sure about that stat????

Go Gamecocks!!!

Bama got beat up. I mean physically beat up....

Great idea for a T-shirt to sell at the Championship Game. You could make a fortune!

I'll take 20% for giving you the idea

Was a good game. Haven't seen hitting like that since the LSU-Alabama game.

I swear those 2 teams are looking to hurt the other..

NO DOUBT!!! Meyers almost screwed the pooch with that call. He got Damn lucky that Bama couldn't capitalize.

Yep, my Tide wasn't with it tonight. Sims is hot or cold and unfortunately for us this was a cold night. Far as I'm concerned Alabama overachieved this year regardless of what the starry eyed broadcasters said. Had some great players and some great games. But the secondary never gelled and there were injuries that couldn't be overcome. But all but 2 teams would like to be where they are right now. Roll Tide Roll!!!! Only 9 more months till the season starts!!!

Looked to me like Saban and Sims were paid off. And I can't stand Bama.

Contrast Saban's conduct (anger, acting up on sideline, motivation, etc.) in this game vs. the Ol Miss game.

AllState CEO sounded like he'd been sucking on a helium balloon.

Reminded me of Dana Carvey imitating George HW Bush on Saturday Night Live

Honest assessment.

MM

Looks like the tide got ROLLED OVER!!!

Mafia made out like bandits tonight. Two passes right to defenders. One was tween the numbers of three defenders with no receiver around. Looked weird.

This whole post game interview is a CF!!

Saban gets really heated when players don't execute. And that was the problem tonight, not a lack of coaching. I've watched these guys all year and can tell the difference. OSU had something to do with that but we just blew some plays that probably would have made a big difference. It was just a really bad night to play less than your top game.

I was laughing my ass off !

What the first season under THE COMMITTEE has taught us is that all of the five "POWER CONFERENCES" (read: GOD'S CHOSEN) need to realize that as soon as they only have one unbeaten team, the rest of the teams in the league need to lie down and let them contiue with an undefeated season in order to guarantee that the conference does not play itself out of being invited to the CHAMPIONSHIP.

The problem with saying you didn't play the best tonight is that OSU would be able to say the same thing if Bama would have pulled it out, and I'm sure FSU would like to use that excuse as well.
However if I recall correctly bama had that happen two other times this year & were still able to pull it out so overall I would say they under achieved as a whole & it finally caught up to them.

Jesus, I can't stand tOSU as much as anyone, but holy cow, the THIRD string QB?

The Buckeyes always have top tier talent and athletes and it was nice to see them actually have to use that potential.
In years past it seemed like they half-azzed it and played to the level of their competition; they even did it a couple times this year.

The hitting on both sides was nice to watch.

The better team won tonight and with their 3rd-string QB.

I'll stick with labeling them over achievers. They could easily have lost those 2 other games and finished much worse than number 3 in the nation. Lane Kiffin deserves a lot of credit for making the best out of what he had to work with on offense. But the defensive secondary as a unit was questionable all year. Hard to win championships with that weakness. Still after watching them all year I can honestly say this was not the team's best effort. And OSU played much closer to their potential. The most talented team I've watched this year is Oregon at least as they played today. I doubt Alabama could have beaten them and I doubt OSU will.

My exact thoughts and I'm an Ohio State fan.

can't say what it is about having to wipe cowchit off your boots


but it certainly adds wisdom to the man that does so


can that Sammo pick em or what?

Vegas is lucky his dad keeps him so danged busy!

Randy, pure genious!


Uber game....

For lack of a 'Lacey'.....


And the Saints let him get away to the Pack!!

I guess that may be somewhat true depending how you look at it. I haven't watched them at all this year so if their play exceeded their talent level you are correct. I'm sure Kiffin did a great job.
However they came into the year ranked #2 in the country & were ranked at the top all year & finished at #1. All you heard is how they were the best team around. Saban is very capable of getting the best out of his players.
If they really didn't have the talent level (which I doubt) then they shouldn't have been that highly ranked all year, especially when they struggled which means they were over rated.
So I stand with over rated, or under achievers/ possibly some of both.
But I do agree with you that the secondary is lack luster & Simms is probably just an average QB.
Hopefully the N.C. game is just as entertaining to watch.

Talk about game, I liked Raymond Waters (ASU) decision over Mark Martin (OSU). Waters is a freak. Think Martin is ranked 10th in the nation.
