Are There Any FOOTBALL Fans On The Forum?

Tommy, for some reason it's always satisfying to see another SEC team beat Bama when you root for any if the other SEC schools.

Go easy on us Guys.

Alabama got whupped, in almost every aspect of the game.

My problem now is, do I want Georgia to beat Auburn, making them a three loss team or do I want Auburn to go all the way and bring the National Championship back to our State?

If Bama is not listed in the playoff final four and Auburn is, I will definitely be rooting for Auburn.

I am a Bama fan, but I am not an Auburn hater, which I believe to be a ridiculous and energy wasting endeavor.

Raiders vs Patriots

Estadio Azteca, Mexico City

We may have to make a little Gentleman's Side Bet, when the time comes!

Hey Mitch,since I have been boycotting the National Felon League how'd we do on the 19th of November in the year 2017 against yer Oakland or is it LA or is it Mexico Raiders or the A.K.A. Not For Long league

I can relate. At our house we're long-suffering fans of the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Who beat the haughty "our xxxx don't stink" Texas Longhorns on Friday! Most fans of other schools in the Big 12 cheer for anybody that's playing Texas or Oklahoma. My sons and daughter-in-law are Tech alumni. They have some cousins who are Texas alums, and some cousins who are Tech alums. The standing bet is, every year the losers of that game have to wear the winning team's colors to the family Christmas dinner. So the attire this year will be red and black! At Tech a coach can pretty much keep his job forever if he can just beat Texas with some regularity, so I'm sure Kingsbury will be back for at least one more year.

There's one cousin and his wife who are Texas Aggies, but since A&M wandered off to the SEC several years ago in a futile search for riches and fame, they no longer count. No one except Aggie fans pay any attention to them any more.

I watch this forum some. Does anyone watch the NFL? I haven't watched a game since week 2. I haven't watched ESPN either. Just curious.

[fergusontd]

well I see the pretty boys of the SEC got picked again for the playoffsIts glad to see a team get in without winning the conference championship. But that's Alabama, no words can be clean enough to how I feel about Alabama I can't stand the team or the coach, they could be picked to play even with a 0-12 record.OSU had that one bad loss and that kept them out, sad! ftd

[gsmith7158]

I'm still sulking, beat Bama and Georgia and both of them still get in!

I'm with you. I haven't watched a game since week 2.
And I hadn't missed a Chicago Bears game in years.

I have pretty much quit watching the NFL. My only exception is the Cowboys. I have been a fan since day one so I still watch them.

If I had my druthers, they would eliminate the committee and the playoffs and go back to routine bowl selection by the respective bowl committees and let the coaches and sports writers polls rank the teams.

There will never be an equitable nor fully acceptable playoff scheme

Ever.

I believe the scheme used for the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) and NCAA basketball is about as equitable as you can get, and delivers a true champion. It's not "fully acceptable" to everyone because fans are not rational and never will be. In basketball every year we hear fans of some team that finished 5th in their conference with a 17-11 season record griping because (in their opinion) their team that did not get selected is better than some other team with a similar record that did get selected. "We should have been in the tournament field instead of them!" What I don't hear those gripers saying is "our team would have won the National Championship."

Those schemes are far better than what exists today in the Bowl Subdivision. In addition to basketball, they work well in football for the smaller colleges (FCS) and they work well for high schools in states where they are used. The only thing preventing similar from being used at the major college level is $$$$$! I'm of the opinion that with some compromise the existing bowls could be fit into a scheme similar to what the FCS uses today, with a championship tournament starting field of 32 teams. Here we are on December 4th, the conference championship games have been played, and the NCAA National Championship game is still 5 weeks away. 32 team single elimination tournament fits perfectly!

I don't care about seeing purity in college sports cause no system is going to deliver what's not there to start with - it's a big money game and that rules the roost. That said I do want to see some great bowl games and I think we are going to get that. OH

...I may never watch another nfl game!!!!...... ............

I watched the Bengals and Browns play is that considered pro football? ftd

[bighomer]

Well looks like the national champion will hail from the sec.

[TripleF]

Well looks like the national champion will hail from the sec.

As it should come from the best conference in college football!!

[fergusontd]

The fairhaired and fairweather favorite of the SEC, Alabama, will be allowed to play again though they dont deserve it, they couldn't even win the championship game. Go Georgia! Nick Sabin pissoff!!!! ftd

[royal0014]

The man, and the team, and for that matter the conference, seem to have
an inordinate number of haters. Much like blatant racism, there is rarely any true reasoning behind the hate.

To call a man Satan just because he beats your team is , well, childish.
Maybe, just maybe, it is not his fault your team lost.
Maybe, just maybe, the man serves a higher purpose . . . . .

I hope the real gentlemen of this forum will spend a few minutes to learn something . . .

[fergusontd]

I read the link, its quite a story. Most of the members on this site have had loss and hardships in their lives and were able to overcome it. Yes, Sabin deserves praise for what he has done in his personal life, but he has the resources to do that. Most of us aren't in that position.
My point is and always will be that a team dosen't deserve a pass because they are well liked, or their coach does chairty work, they need to earn it. Georgia deserved to win and hopefully win win the Champship. My team Ohio State, didnt bother to get on the team bus for their two losses. There were other teams that deserved it more. Thats my point and i'm sticking to it! ftd

[bighomer]

Well l dont know nothing about all that, but I was right the winner of the national championship hailed from the Sec.

[philco]

That was one heck of a ballgame last night. Kept me up way past my bedtime.

[fergusontd]

Let them play real Collage teams once and see how good they are. Alabama sucks and so does the sec. ftd
