Want to say hello?
We love hearing from you! Whether you want to work with us, discuss advertising opportunities, or pass us a hot tip, you're more than welcome to drop us a line.
I need bama to win, I am in a poll and need some money in my pocket, haha
lol. Nice. Oregon is shredding USC. They make it look like they get 20 yards per play.
22.6854. Thats where the calculator helps. lol
Where's the KSU open thread????
If LSU beats Bama, the ND-Oregon-KState-SEC one loss champ argument will be great fun
True, I should have said adding machine.
Fixed, CPlunk.
Bucksfan, and then there's that. ha ha. Whats vegas have on Bama - LSU? Anyone know?
No defense in this SC-Oregon game...just straight gashing on both sides of the ball. I'm sorry, but if Oregon goes up against an SEC team, they're going to struggle like they did against Ohio State or Auburn.
Yeah Bucksfan, I think you're right- Oregon is always in trouble against anybody with a good D-line.
Christ almighty...34-17 with 5 minutes left in the half. Might have to delete the Oregon-USC portion of the thread...lol.
LSU dropping passes
Welp. Turns out Oregon actually is still a no-defense team.
So, how fast will this next TD from Oregon be?
Just curious, does LSU always wear white jerseys at home? Seems like I've never seen them wear anything other than white jerseys before.
Lsu looking pretty good
Big fumble recovery for USC there!
Yes, VHX...LSU wears white as their home jerseys. Their purple jerseys are worn on rare occasion.
Anyone know of an online stream for LSU/Bama? Thanks!
And LSU has still yet to score a TD on Alabama in 2 years.
wow Marquise Lee with back to back awful plays, first a drop then a fumble that Oregon gets
try firstrowsports.eu rlyle
How geeky is the Danielson-Lundquist duo during SEC games?
McCarron badly overthrows a wide-open receiver for a TD....then RB Lacy rattles off a 28 yard gainer on the very next play.
Thanks NCBuck!
http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/video/sec-live
No interference of any kind on that play. Terrible call.
Awful punt 2/3 of the way into the endzone.....this is shaping up just like the last 2. If we're going to keep saying that SEC teams like Alabama and LSU have the most NFL talent, NFL teams get down the field and score points.
Thanks for creating this thread. Postgame is tough for us to do stuff like this on the front page.
LSU rushing the ball extremely well. This is a pretty interesting game so far.
LSU offense has looked better tonight than most of the rest of the season.
I fight for the user, Jason. Got your back!
Watching LSU/Bama while Oregon/USC is at half.
Class of 2010.
Goldilocks turned on FOX and said, "There are way too MANY points being scored." She then turned on CBS and said, "There are way too FEW points being scored." She turned on ABC and said, "The number of points is JUUUUUUST right!"
When a punter could be the MVP of the game, you might not have a very good offense.
Edit: I never thought I'd get to upvote a Goldilocks reference on 11W, but by golly I just did. Good stuff.
Class of 2010.
"We don't have the Smelly-type option that we had last year"
-Gary Danielson
God, Oregon's tackling makes me appreciate how we've tackled all season.
What makes me sick though is, after the bama lsu game goes 9-6, all we'll hear is how great these two defenses are. Anyone up for a repeat of last year? I'm not.
Fun trivia: Colin Klein is married to a member of the Kansas State women's basketball team. (KSU up 17-7).
Colin Klein is married? Wow, how often does that happen.
@NCBuck I didn't watch it then, either time, and I'm not watching it now.
Holy crap, a TD was scored in the Alabama-LSU game! Everyone finish your drink!
EDIT: except in my case, otherwise that would be chugging straight gin.
I have a feeling LSU is about to start having a lot of trouble moving the ball.
You are smart Lady! I'm a glutton for punishment I guess.
If bama and KSU go down tonight, where does everyone think will we be in the AP poll?
VHX7=Nostradomus! Spot on.
edit: not so fast my friend! oops refs save the day.
Yeah, and then they get bailed out by Bama's dumbass punt returner. Oh well.
Ex Penn State RB Silas Redd scores TD to cut the lead to 3...Oregon 34- SC 31. HEYOOO!!!
Now, Oregon needs to score. Am the only one that wants to see a game between Oregon and Alabama?
Edit: Spelling is great.
That was crazy dumb....
Les Miles... what the hell are you thinking? Though to be fair, the refs did completely save Alabama on that drive.
EDIT: Nevermind. LSU fullback is just dumb.
I'd rather not see any team from the SEC in the MNC game. How bout KSU vs OR?
I think KSU vs. Oregon would be horrible football for the opposite reason: no defense. I don't want to watch a replay of last year's awful Rose Bowl.
I want Oregon to win. I have a soft spot for them for some reason. They're running the ball much better right now.
Edit: You know, I'll just stop trying to guess what's happening.
@VHX: yeah there wasn't much arguing from LSU on that call so pretty sure that the FB was the dumb one on that play.
I need two TVs.
Oregon going on 4th down like PSU.
TD Oregon...you couldn't pick more polar opposite games than these two games.
And we thought our defense could'nt tackle. USC would be better off with red capes yelling "ole". Geesh
Try 3 TVs, back to back kick returns in the KSU-(other)OSU game...
Ah hell, are you serious, RDUBS?! Damn.
You know, people rag on the Big Ten for not having these high flying moments, but, my god, someone teach these people how to tackle! That was horrible coverage on the kickoff return!
Les Miles is a complete moron.
TD USC! 3 point game once again.
Looks like KState just scored, too...so they're up big.
The Oregon-USC game is turning into a boxing match mixed with a basketball game.
Kenjon Barner with 222 yards and 3 TDs.
Edit: 2 min left in the 3rd.
TD Oregon... Again... 10 pont lead... Again...
Holy God...Oregon TD pass...48-38. Anyone else wondering what the hell sport this is?
speaking of Bama-LSU, have you seen AJ's mom? wowza!
“The teams that don’t respect their coaches and don’t trust their coaches are the teams that go .500"
~Zach Boren
1100+ Total yards in the Oregon-USC game. At the end of the 3rd quarter.
Alabama is clearly the better team
@BucksFan I've been wondering since I started watching. Oregon and USC can score like no one's business. They also can't tackle worth a wiff.
Edit: That is gross, VHX.
KR, that is wonderful! You sir have won the internet tonight! +1000 UPVOTES!
And, with 14:23 remaining in the 4th quarter, the first punt of the Oregon-USC game is kicked. Really?
Les Miles, King of Idiotic playcalling and terrible field position awareness
I thought you were exaggerating when you said that was the first punt of the game. Jesus.
I can't wait for the media to talk about how impressive Oregon is for hanging 62 on USC. It's West Virginia all over again, just with a bit of a more reliable offense.
EDIT: Also, if USC doesn't fall out of the Top 25 after this, something is seriously wrong. I know it's Oregon, but this is the worst USC defense I've ever seen.
Oregon has already broken the all-time record by a USC opponent with 626 yards, it's only the beginning of the 4th quarter, and they're still marching.
I propose we change Oregon's nickname to Hurricane Sandy.
Explanation: It's something that impresses east coast voters, but something the south has dealth with before.
I wish I was, but they either score, kick, or flat out turn it over on every drive. It's almost impressive.
Oregon's offense, to be fair, has been high scoring like this all season. It's actually a very fast, well oiled machine. Definitely much more reliable than West Virginia.
And a bit more defense. Not much, just a wee bit.
Yeah, even though this game is terrible, I'd still like to see what Oregon would do against Alabama.
It's impressive how well Oregon can move their offense. I seriously want to see them try to do this against 'Bama. If they do, I think they'll lose since their D is atrocious. It would at least be more interesting than last year's SEC slug fest part two.
They're actually fun to watch.
Edit: And, on cue, Oregon scores another TD.
"All the talent that USC has on defense"
Ever think that they don't actually have that much talent on defense? When was the last time USC had even an average defense? 2008?
Interesting. On the NIssan Heisman Watch, they had no Braxton.
Edit: Wow, Oregon just got shanked on that PI call.
FOX has snubbed Braxton on their Heisman list all year
I mean come on, they even had Matt F***ing Barkley on the list
Refs really trying to give this game to USC. I know they're aiming for player safety, but how the hell else was he supposed to hit him?
And now USC throws a
left jabTD.@KR It's kind of weird seeing him on all the other lists, but not on this one.
Alright, need an update on this one. Last I saw, Barkley threw a pick and Oregon had it in good field position. I flip over to Alabama LSU to watch futility for a few plays, flip back over and USC has the ball on the Oregon 5. What happened?
Oregon got called for a BS Pass Interference on the interception
This is some horrid football.
Oregon scored a TD, then USC scored a TD. Same song, different verse. Now, USC is trying to overturn it the call that Oregon gets the ball.
Edit: That PI call was horrible.
KState has 31 points and Colin Klein has yet to score a TD running or throwing...
Edit: His ears were burning, just ran one in for his first TD, they look safe today.
Ha! Ridculous.
Oh wow USC just got screwed but I guess they never should have scored that TD to begin with so it doesn't matter
Karma is a witch. That's a make up call from the earlier PI call.
@rdubs: How has Colin Klein played?
Funny to see Oregon in 'milk the clock' mode
My Comcast description of the Alabama-LSU game says it's a rematch of last year's national title game. But that was a rematch of a game played earlier in the year. You can't have a rematch of a rematch. You can't triple stamp a double stamp.
@Lady: He has played well, their defense has stepped up, they had a kick return for a TD and their running back at one point had 6 yards and 2 TDs, so they were handing it to him near the endzone instead of having Klein run. That has hurt his overall stats, but still 16-22 for 245yds. and 60+ yds on the ground with a TD.
I don't think I've watched a Bama game in the last 3 years where they didn't go heavy-blitz on 3rd down. Can't hate on them though, works almost everytime!
OK State QB just had the wind knocked out of him so badly he can't see and is throwing up on the sideline. #Sparty'sTrainers
I think it's now safe to say the USC/Oregon game is over
SC just went for broke on 4th and about 6 on their on 20. Game.
@rdubs: Thanks. Sounds like a pretty good game for KState today.
And another TD for Oregon taken away.
Edit: And then took it back.
LSU's in the redzone.
Kenjon Barner 38 carries for 321 yards and 5 touchdowns.
I guess he's back into the Heisman conversation.
Will they score is the question.
That was some catch by USC.
I wonder if USC's "performance" against Oregon wil put their coach, Paul Hackett on the hot seat?
This is the half-time adjustment LSU really needs
An angry fan...rooting for an angry team...led by angry coaches
I really enjoy watching Oregon. I dont care who they play!!!
Put a defense with it and hopefully this is what our Buckeyes become
lol, TD drought over...LSU scored...14-10 Alabama.
USC is trying to get another TD.
I really hope lsu can pull this one out, if so Oregon deserves to be #1.
It's bizzaro-LSU, they just scored a TD!
@DetroitBuckeye I agree. I want LSU to win.
I agree on wanting LSU to win. Definitely don't agree that Oregon would deserve to be #1.
51 points. Seriously?
Mad Hatter strikes (himself) again!
Mad hatter calls an onside kick for absolutely no reason at all with 3 min to go in the 3rd, gets a Sandusky penalty, and subsequently gives the ball to Alabama in their own territory.
Conclusion, they are trying to lose.
Bama just fumbled the ball and it was recovered by LSU.
The way that Les Miles claps or calls timeout is quite creepy!
Mad Hatter gets bailed out by Bama fumble.
This drive is key. In LSU's last TD drive, they hit Bama in the mouth and were able to run up the gut a little. They dented Bama's air of invincibility. Sometimes, when that happens, it leads to a cascade.
Aannndddd the LSU fans go wild....
An angry fan...rooting for an angry team...led by angry coaches
PANDAMONIUM. FB for 40-50 yards haha.
Copeland is one large sucker and no one was bringing him down.
LSU is catching some momentum. Long pass to the fullback. The guy who missed the tackle with lose his scholarship by way of medical hardship.
Only in the SEC is a FB screen the game-breaking play hahaha.
Geaux Tigers! This is Alabama's first actual opponent this year (Michigan? Yeah... no). Good to see they're at least getting exposed as maybe not being quite as dominant as people thought.
God I hate Les Miles but go LSU, sick of AL and I hope the lose and ND and Oregon or KState play in the NC...wouldn't that be great to see no SEC in the title game?
2012 Beat Michigan Tail gate: UFM: "Let’s beat the sh*t out of Michigan, have a good night."
Saban vs Miles Saban is recognized as being better but why does LSU always seem to have their number with supposedly Bama having the best 5 * recruits every year? Personally Saban may recruit better but I think Miles relates to players better. Unfortunately he just doesnt have an offensive coordinator worth a darn.
Id love for LSU to win
LLJJGG, don't bring up FBs going long...please.
It's not so much that LSU got momentum, but that they stood up to the bully. They could still lose the game, because Bama has an awesome OL, but now it's on an even level of manhood. The intimidation gap has closed.
NOW this is getting to be a good game. This is so much better than the 9-6 "Broken Coverage" game from last year.
LSU passes inside to the red zone.
TOUCHDOWN! YES!
This stadium is about to be ridiculous on Alabama's next drive.
Td LSU !
LSU is moving the ball fairly well and get another TD, taking the lead from 'Bama.
@BUCKSFAN: Oh goodness, Stanley Havili.
OH NELLY! LSU SCORE
I may eat a booger in honor of that LSU touchdown.
Good call, VHX...looks like football.
I really want to see Oregon's high octane, fast moving O against ths Alabama D.
Consider me an LSU fan tonight
@KR I think most of us are LSU fans tonight.
Bucksfan I gave you a sticker but I wouldve given you 10 if I could for the best thread of the year!!
Cajunbuckeye I bet it is absolutely wild down there!! Ive been to one LSU game and the atmosphere was great.
Exactly. This is what a good football game is supposed to look like. Fantastic defense, but the offenses aren't completely incompetent like last year.
And now you know why they were smart not to go for 2 in the third quarter, would only be up 2 had they done that.
And I return a sticker in your favor, Waycracken, for your kind words.
Also Spurrier looks like even more of an idiot now. Even the Browns could beat this team.
Pretty sure there should have been a false start on that play anyway. McCarron playing himself right out of the Heisman race now. Hasn't made any mistakes, but if you're going to win the Heisman, you have to make plays too, and he hasn't shown the ability to do that at all.
3 and out or an INT, that was a bad play by 'Bama. LSU is really clamping down right now. We have a ball game, boys.
Alabama in really deep trouble now
I defended Lundquist a few weeks back on one of the announcer threads. But he has gone downhill of late.
And another thought: What if Miles had kicked the field goal when they faked (up 6)? And punted when they kicked the field goal and then gave up the TD before half (up 13)?
LSU needs one more score to really put the pressure on LSU.
Did anyone else see the graffic saying Bama hasn't trailed in the fourth quarter since 2010. Did I read that wrong? I know LSU beat them last yr right.
@RDubs. I don't even know why I wasted the time posted those long responses on that Buckshot about Spurrier. For some reason the notion of people actually thinking a college team could beat a pro team just really annoys me. Spurrier is so stupid.
@WMBuckeye: LSU beat them last year, but they never led in that game until the game-winning fieldgoal.
"I wonder if that same moon is visible over New York tonight." - Verne Lundquist.
Wha?
Rdubs: and what if the Hatter didn't eat grass and clap like a seal and run double reverse run plays with 13 seconds on the clock and no timeouts?
AS of right now I would like to see a Kansas State VS Oregon National championship
@VHX: I get what you're saying, and I did read them. People don't always have the ability to realize that teams are good in one frame of reference would be obliterated in the next.
Wide open
Mettenburger has been sandbagging all yr!
Mettenburger is unconscious. Tomorrow, he will wake up and go back to being a mediocre QB.
Nick Saban just may pull his beautifully-quaffed hair out!
"Alabama's defense gouged again". Been a long time since anyone's been able to say something like that.
Mettenberger stepping up when it matters while McCarron is doing the opposite.
That was a nice pass and run by LSU. 'Bama's touted D is falling apart. I don't know if 'Bama could take the pace that Oregon plays at.
@Waycraken: That would be a good game to watch. Either way, I want to see Oregon's bowl game this year.
This is the best LSU has looked all year....couldnt come at a better time
2012 Beat Michigan Tail gate: UFM: "Let’s beat the sh*t out of Michigan, have a good night."
Jarvis Landry is one hell of a WR.
wow Alabama 1 of 8 3rd down conversion
I'd go for it. I hate being up 6
FG FG FG FG. Don't do it Mad Hatter, just kick it!
Edit: Idiot.
Go for it Les!!!
Will the Hatter roll the dice, asks Danielson? Will a bear crap in the woods?
It's gone off the chain!!! Still wearing Buckeye gear at the bar. Total purple and gold. Man is it going to be rough at work this week if LSU win's this. Time for shots. Geaux Tigers!
An angry fan...rooting for an angry team...led by angry coaches
Oh christ, Les. What a boneheaded move.
HUGE stop.
That should have been a play action pass to the side, which is where they've been open. 22 in the box ain't going to get you anywhere.
Not even close
Idiotic playcalling again
Why in gods name would you run a play like that
Les Miles is the Twelfth man for Alabama
An angry fan...rooting for an angry team...led by angry coaches
Doesn't matter if he bobbled the snap, Gary, there was nowhere to go there...big mistake.
That was not the best decision. Not clean off the snap.
It might not matter much, Mccarron and the alabama offense is getting exposed in this game.
Should have run playaction! Really can't think of a worse time to go wildcat
Sometimes I wonder what the hell Les thinks....take the 3 dude, this Bama...and your trickery plays have failed all night. Know when to say when man...
2012 Beat Michigan Tail gate: UFM: "Let’s beat the sh*t out of Michigan, have a good night."
@KR Because he's single-handedly trying to lose the game his team is working so hard to win.
Hill has been getting a yard every time.
Danielson: Hatter is 0-4 on "rolling the dice," but his aggressiveness has translated to his team. Because we all know that LSU would have played less hard had the Hatter not gone for a fake FG on 4th and 12 when Bama was sitting on the fake. Or that they would have let up intensity if LSU had to suffer the indignity of going up 20-14 on Bama.
This is almost starting to remind me of the ND-Pitt game earlier lol. Some crazy calls by the Mad Hatter.
Come on Les, really? Your defense has dominated this half, and you decide to risk it instead of going up 6? Why do you always have to make your games more exciting than they need to be?
This is one time Tresselball would have paid off....this is also the second field goal that Les decided not to attempt....you're short 6 pts man.
2012 Beat Michigan Tail gate: UFM: "Let’s beat the sh*t out of Michigan, have a good night."
Maybe les feels its very difficult to beat a team twice so he has no interest in winning the regular season game.
You don't give the opposing team a chance to tie with a FG if you have the opportunity to force them to score a TD to tie later.
At least 'Bama doesn't have good field position.
No way that was complete.
Get ready for the refball to kick in.
Agree, Buck...he should be up 9 right now. What an idiot.
Refball has been dictating most games recently.
NOW THAT IS A LOUD CROWD. Kinda reminds me of the OSU Nebreska game
This atmosphere is amazing. Undeniable how good of a stadium Death Valley is.
not gonna lie...this is a very entertaining game to watch...ND was good...this is better
2012 Beat Michigan Tail gate: UFM: "Let’s beat the sh*t out of Michigan, have a good night."
So much for Alabama's ungodly efficient offense
How did LSU not get a sack there? Good pressure, though.
Bama's vaunted corps of "rising star" WRs not getting open right now.
@Buck_Michigan Tresselball works great when you can move it and don't have bollman as your line coach.
I don't mind Les going for it there, I really don't like being up 6 late in games. They should have callled a better play.
@Ladybuck. I think LSU's players were trying to play it safe because it looked like McCarron was about to let it go any second. They just didn't want to risk a roughing the passer penalty if he did.
The punters on both of these teams are absurd
"Oregon wins by 1" Verne apparently can't read either
I agree LadyBuck.. SEC refs are sometimes obvious, the conference wants a team in the National Championship game and I just hope the calls dont go too screwy down the stretch.
@VHX Thanks, that makes sense. Hopefully, LSU can do something with this possession.
About time one of these SEC games lived up to the hype. This is actually a really exciting game to watch.
Hey, Spurrier....think Alabama could beat some NFL teams now?! Clown.
@Waycraken: Not just SEC refs, though. There's been sketchy calls all over football this year, both NCAA and NFL. It's getting annoying to see them control games so closely.
This is infinitely better than last year's game
WOW is this a record for a thread in such a short period of time?? going on 300
Gary Danielson just said Oregon only won by one. These old guys really need to retire.
METTENBERGER. Where has this guy been.
Mettenberger is lethal!
Saban/Smart's tactic of blitzing on every 3rd down is starting to hurt them! If you can't get there, the QB is accurate, you're in trouble!
Nice catch by LSU. They are exploiting the blitz that Bama runs. Great game plan by the tigers.
Edit: LLJJGG Great minds think alike.
Great poise under pressure, he has looked much better than McCarron this half.
I love you #80
2012 Beat Michigan Tail gate: UFM: "Let’s beat the sh*t out of Michigan, have a good night."
How about LSU's injury-ravaged offensive line stepping up? Goodness.
Isn't Ware from Cinci?
Ware looks slower this year
Winton woods
LSU RB missed the cut back there. 3rd down again.
Ford ran right into the pile lol, whole left side was open!
@RDUBS: Yep
Huge 1st down, Huge!
This guy just can't miss
And another first down! LSU's offense is just stepping it up. This is a team performance right now.
LSU making it happen. Alabama's defense is exhausted!
Gettin' close to this being ballgame. Alabama is allowing LSU's inept offense look like an well-oiled machine.
This is what you would call a methodical drive
@detroitbuckeye....touché salesman touché
2012 Beat Michigan Tail gate: UFM: "Let’s beat the sh*t out of Michigan, have a good night."
Tick tock. Tick tock.
They better watch trying for the extra yards all the time Bama is after the strip.
Wow, huge break!!!!
SAVED BY A FALSE START OH GOD YES
What?????? Miles is a magician.
@bucksfan B-b-but it's the inconquerable Tide!
Nice call for LSU there.
LOL. Calling a penalty on LSU is actually refball against Alabama. Hilarious.
Great catch.
HUGE COMPLETION
@VHX7 good thing LSU doesnt run no huddle...Saban would be crying like a bitch
2012 Beat Michigan Tail gate: UFM: "Let’s beat the sh*t out of Michigan, have a good night."
What a catch!!
An angry fan...rooting for an angry team...led by angry coaches
OH SHIT
Unreal catch, the DBs didn't see it soon enough
Wow that was a catch
These receivers are sick!
Did anybody else see that Miles is 35-1 at home night games at LSU? Guess who beat him...
WOW what a catch!
