Dammit, I just want to go to sleep and wake up and have it be 11/17. This sucks; let's get this final stretch going.
Florida scores on a blocked punt. Can nothing cool happen today?
I saw that, couldn't believe it, They got handed the game.
Is it too early to annoint Will Muskrat Les Milles 2.0?

Woah, look at Johnny football with that stiff arm that was NASTY.
Yes! Fuck you Saban!
I've never had a 2.5 hour boner before but I'm going to if A&M keeps putting it to the Sabans.
If it lasts longer than that call your doctor. Or me
Yowza! Good call on the first part. No judgements here on the second!

Looks like I might take the lead in helmet stickers with that one
Alabama's secondary has been getting exposed lately...
We may be seeing the Manziel Heisman coronation.
Now we know why Saban thinks spread offenses are unfair. It has been nice to see A&M be able to compete this year in the big bad SEC. I really hope they can continue this for the next few hours.
Its actually the no-huddle he thinks is unfair. Plenty of spread in SEC
What a great day of CFB it would have been if NU had beaten scUM, UL-Lafayette had beaten UF, and Kansas had beaten Texas Tech. Would have been even better if FSU had lost to VT the other day. Oh well... GO AGGIES, BEAT BAMA!
Wow Manziel is legit. If he pulls off this upset, look for him to be right in the Heisman talk. Even if he doesn't win, he's still putting up some great numbers against this 'Bama defense, which could still get him in the top 5 watch list.
Jeez, he'll probably knock Braxton out of NYC.
Nick Saban is going to start whinning that Texas AM is going too fast. Its not fair!!

With OSU off, all I wanna do is root for chaos.

I can't believe what i'm seeing. lol
"YOLO" = I'm about to do something extremely ignorant/stupid & I need an excuse to do it.
AGGIES!
Ok I say let Manziel go for the QB sneak on 3rd down. Don't go for it on 4th. Bama can stop you at the 1. Get what they give you when you play Bama. 17-0 is just fine.
You just don't see the sneak as often as you should, to me it's a no-brainer when you have less than a yard to go, particularly when it's only 2nd down.
Touchdown.
He's in. They better reverse that.
Gotta reverse that.
Good explanation for the video review process. "You can't use logic"
yeah when I heard that I was wondering why not? they're just trying to make it as unsubjective as possible, I think, but that's still pretty lame
I have no idea why, but I because of that missed PAT, Bama has the momentum now, and I feel like they are gonna come back and win this one now.
There's a concerted effort to protect the SEC's higher-ranked teams this late in the season. The fact that they're at home is just a bonus. (Bama was victimized by this a few years ago when they blew that big lead against Auburn.) I won't be shocked if you're right.

I have a feeling that's gonna come back to haunt A&M.

Ohio State's band SLAUGHTERED Michigan's band. If this were a football game, it would have been Florida State vs. Savannah State. - SB Nation following OSU vs. UM 2012
@Earle -- Agreed.
It's vewwy quiet in Bama.
And because I didn't get the chance to say it earlier: Northwestern sucks.

If it can't be Braxton, then Manziel for Heisman baby!

let's go A&M! expose this damn Bama team.
Off topic, but Wisky looked really good today, especially on the ground. Expect a hard one next week.
Kind of scary to think of what A&M will look like in a few years when all that 5 star talent down there stops going to UT.
Also off topic, but Stefon Diggs is 2nd in the ACC in all-purpose yards. He would've been a beast at OSU.
Agreed. Just saw this yesterday.
Am I nuts or is there a distinctive stupid Alabama haircut? They all look like they have Lego hair.
Will Muschamp has one. Maybe it's a southern thing?
Apparently, these are known as "'Bama bangs." My officemate went to Georgia and was schooling me on SEC culture.
The cut I generally notice is about two inches above crossed eyes and six above an open-breathing mouth.
As long as Aggie keeps scoring we're good.
Between this team that was middle of te road in the Big Twelve last year playing Bama tough, ULL almos beatin Florida, and ULM earlier this year, it's almost like ranking so many SEC teams in the top ten was completely ridiculous and based on past years rather than this one.....weird......
Manziel is unreal.
Oh my god. That was a Braxton Miller-play right there by Manziel
These guys are in the zone!
This has definitely not been the vintage Tide defense these last couple of weeks.

Thanks for nothing Nerds! Go Aggies
Daheck? Pass it on 3rd and 7
That giant sucking sound you hear is the sound of the big time recruits in Texas being sucked away from the Longhorns.
A+M was genius to move to the SEC. Only way they would ever have had a chance to get out of Texas's shadow.
Was thinking the same thing.
Agreed. At first, I thought it was a dumb move because they'd be cementing their role as SEC bottomfeeders, but then I realized that (1) they get paid more, (2) they get more TV coverage and default higher pre-season ranking due to being in the SEC, (3) they shuck the Texas' little brother image. At this point, the Texas recruits have two choices--play for A&M to go to the SEC or go to UT to play in the XII. Well played, R.B. Loftin, well played indeed.

Remember when they were beating LSU and Florida? Lets wait for the 2nd half.
"YOLO" = I'm about to do something extremely ignorant/stupid & I need an excuse to do it.
Exactly. Last year their M.O. was to blow huge first half leads.
I'm afraid oversigning is eventually going to shift this in Alabama's favor. A&M just doesn't have the depth.
You heard me.
Not sure I agree with going for it on fourth and long at all.

In other news West Virginia is getting exposed by Oklahoma State.
Ohio State's band SLAUGHTERED Michigan's band. If this were a football game, it would have been Florida State vs. Savannah State. - SB Nation following OSU vs. UM 2012
I thought Baylor did that in Week 3.
"YOLO" = I'm about to do something extremely ignorant/stupid & I need an excuse to do it.
They did. Don't look now but if OSU wins, WVU will probably be on a 5 game losing streak with Oklahoma up next. Welcome to the Big 12.

Also, pretty obvious late slam of Manziel by a player on the sideline...hit him high then made no effort to keep him from dropping flat on his back. Classy.

Classic Big 12 defense by Texas A&M. Can't get away from their roots.
So Bama's Oline is great because they get away with holding 90% of the time.

That's why Wisconsin's line is always so good. Ridiculous.
Saban-Bot had a busy week and its circuits needed rest.
If it were a human that could feel emotion, it would apologize for the slow start, but it is a robot and does not feel emotion and therefore sees no reason to apologize. Its circuits are now well rested and Saban-Bot is ready for the second half.
A list that doesn't mention Braxton. I'm SHOCKED!
"YOLO" = I'm about to do something extremely ignorant/stupid & I need an excuse to do it.
I noticed that as well
Manziel is averaging 7 yards a pass--and that's with just one incomplete pass. I think he needs to start running again to open some things up.
The most "loud mouth, disrespect" poster on 11W.
Bama is a mess against up tempo. Oregon has got to feel good watching this game.
hopefully this ends all the silly "can Bama beat a pro team?" discussions
Is it just me or are these CBS announcers really rooting for 'Bama?
Nope. You could hear their dissappointment when A&M got those two favorable 3rd down spots.
Danielson seemed extremely pro bama until the end.
Class of 2008
A 6 point lead, the most dangerous one in football. Also Martinez coughs it up, but their D steps up. Come on Brasky!
McCarron: Heisman Contender. Seriously? He completes checkdown after checkdown and then misses wide open receivers like that. This is the second week in a row that he's been completely outplayed by the opposing team's QB. Swap him with Manziel and I have no arguments. That guy is legit.
Nice catch Swope.

That missed FG is gonna be big.

Fumbles by Bama and PSU.... Awesome.

I keep thinking that as long as it stays within one score, Bama is fated to win...but that's two straight drives where they've come up short.
The most "loud mouth, disrespect" poster on 11W.
I love Coach Vrabel!
It is crazy how biased the announcers have been.
Hey Northwestern!! That is how you punt the ball to win the game!
My timing is impeccable. I switch to Penn State/Nebraska and just miss a fumble, now under review, only to switch back to Alabama/A&M to see the Aggies start a possession just after a fumble.
Sean McDonough and Chris Spielman seem certain PSU's fumble came after breaking the plane, but the ball does appear to be coming out and since the original ruling was a fumble the benefit of the doubt goes Nebraska's way. It seems to have become a weekly ritual that this officiating pair questions calls that I am not sure sure are really that questionable.
Classic.
That swopes kid is TOUGH
****igan smells like old water that hot dogs were boiled in. FACT
Give. Him. The. Heisman.
Now.
well...it's clear now that OSU couldn't play with A&M either haha
Not sure if serious.
"YOLO" = I'm about to do something extremely ignorant/stupid & I need an excuse to do it.
The haha didn't give away the sarcasm? i was lambasted in the Oregon thread for saying OSU could play with these other teams. I didn't say we'd win, but said we could play with anyone
*Swope
Manziel looks damn good for a frosh in a really tough environment.
****igan smells like old water that hot dogs were boiled in. FACT
If A+M holds on, that whole "would a one loss SEC team get in over two or three undefeateds" question might not be a hypothetical.
McGloin does the safety dance.
WIBUCKEYE
BSD must be pooing themselves hardcore...
Like I said earlier this week: Why isn't Manziel in more Heisman conversations?
Hoping in 8:31 he will be...
Question is did he bobble it. Toe came down first, rediculous that announcers are saying its out of bounds
Sorry Urban, Woody is still my favorite

Are toes enough? Because his toe was in
Penn State got screwed on that fumble.

'Struth, but the intentional grounding was the correct call.

Apparently the Bama TA&M announcers don't realize that you don't have to have your whole foot in bounds as long as you touch in bounds first. Complete B.S. verification of the non interception.

WOWOWOW isn't this amazing no one here is talking about how basically a big 12 team is about to beat bama, and not exactly a nail biter either, and that it only makes the big ten look WORSE, i understand the whole root for the underdog but i think it only makes our conference look worse if the big 12 has teams that can run with these dogs, sorry for the pessimism but this isn't necessarily a great thing for the team this WHOLE BLOG is devoted to
We're going for maximum chaos. That and most people here hate Saban.
And the national impression of the B1G isn't really going to change based on the outcome of this game. The rest if the conference has done a bang up job of becoming the laughing stock all on their lonesome.
You can kill a fly with your slipper or a cannon. Either way, the fly dies. -Ramzy
yeah i dont think so either, but watching the game was thought provoking as an ohio state fan, as well as a fan of a B1G conference member, i cant beleive there aren't more ohio state fans that aren't thinking could we (or any other team in the b1g) be on the same field with bama this year, OR NEXT because i dont see a huge turnaround happening
Who. Cares. About. The. Rest. Of. The. Big. 10.
And besides that, the Big 10 has sunken so low this season that most people have forgotten we exist. I don't think many people are going to be thinking about the Big 10 when this game is over.
I cheer for Ohio State, not the Big 10. Now that a playoff is coming, how the rest of the Big 10 does with be as irrelevant as ever.
Exactly. F the B1G. Just win our games.
ROFL you dont care how the rest of the b1g does? its bad enough we usually only have 3 formidable teams this year we have ONE, and we STILL dont know (and never will) how good this team really is because of their schedule, how to play to the level of their oppponent, and of course the bowl ban, you people need to understand the greater and greater impact, YEARLY, of strength of schedule
Referees hand Alabama the ball back of course. That was very obviously caught inbounds.

And CBS is already lobbying for Alabama in the title game.
Amazing! They don't even talk about Texas A&M pulling the upset, they talk about the ways that Alabama can still get to the title. So freaking biased it's unbelieveable.
Sad Bama fans make me Happy.
I'm a little surprised at how happy I am. Oh so very happy.
YESSSSSSSSS
The SEC is far from out of the title game as of now. If 2 of 3 of the remaining teams lose, the SEC is guarenteed the other spot. Oregon still has Stanford, Oregon State, and either UCLA or USC again. ND is still @USC and KSU still has texas
I'm so happy for their awful, terrible, obnoxious fans.
****igan smells like old water that hot dogs were boiled in. FACT
Well I failed at posting a pic of McCarron crying
Bahahahahaha....figured it out!! Sweet tears of a loser!!
Wow. Definitely the highlight of my 2.5 years as an Aggie. I said two weeks ago Johnny Football needs to be in the Heisman discussion - I think beating #1 will finally get him there.
In related news, Kevin Sumlin has balls of steel. I don't think he broke a sweat.
I will keep Alabama number 2. They just aren't as well rounded as....Oregon. Those Ducks are tought. As long as the Vest isn't on the other side.
Honestly, if by some freak occurrence Bama ends up in the BCS Championship, I think that their D has been exposed enough in the last two weeks that there are a few unbeaten teams out there who could probably put up some big points on them.
Agreed. I don't think Oregon's defense would stand up to Bama like A&M did today but I think they would be able to score more than Bama as well or better than A&M did.
I dont care who plays for the NC, I just want to see the SEC shutout of the chance. Maybe this will be the first of many as the balance of power moves back north and/or west. I'm sure ESPN will complain to Congress that the season has been unfair to their interests and that they should enact a law that requires an all-SEC title game every year to protect their precious SEC football broadcast contract. Because, naturally, the SEC is the greatest football conference in the history of the known universe and ESPN thinks they're God.
