Bama v. Oklahoma

Most I've seen seem to stick with the SEC schools. I think some of it is anti UT feelings and they jump on the Wagon that's rolling.

 

I lived in Louisiana for many years. And was living there in 2001.

I hate LSU.

 

I have interesting story that gave me some insight on Miles. I have a friend who works in the hospitality industry. LSU stayed at his property, and he showed me list of requests from the football office of LSU. The detailed nature of that document was unbelievable. While I'm sure that these things are standard for traveling teams, the organization of the document was remarkable.

 

I have to pull for SC (with or without Spurrier) when they aren't playing UT. My dad's brother played back up QB at SC.

 

Not the kind of story I was expecting. Considering you were discussing Miles I was expecting that list to have one item, probably something like an 8 pound bag of gummi bears.

 

Watching Copeland and Hill is fun

 

Maybe it did…..I swore never to release any info about the specific content…….

Has 'bama claimed another national title?

 

The hotel staff was instructed that prepositions were banned, unless they were used to end sentences.

Can you comment on his rumored Asian porn fetish, as roundabout a way as you feel comfortable will work.

 

I think he brought his own masseuse.

 

I said this about 30 times last night.

1. Mccarron is terrible. If he isn't throwing the ball to a predetermined receiver -- e.g. throwing a screen pass (85% of his throws), or a designed deep ball (e.g. the 99 yard pass against Auburn) -- he is throwing the ball away or waiting in the pocket to be sacked. He has no poise. He can't make decisions. he has no pocket presence. He isn't accurate. What am I missing?
2. That Henry kid is damn amazing, and OU had no answer for him. I mean, he was just gashing them. Put that kid on the Heisman trophy watch list for next year. He's the best I've seen in a while. Had they given him 10 more touches last night, they win the game.
3. And yet they kept throwing.

So, Saban is fallible. And his D is fallible too. And got gashed by what TennyD referred to as a "Gimmick O". But since the term "GimmickO" is completely meaningless as every offense is a gimmick of some kind, I'll rephrase and state that Bama's vaunted D got gashed by a "mediocre O".

 

Interesting observations. I agree that Stoops took Saban off of his offensive game plan early. By getting impatient with the running game, AJ got exposed.

 

McCarron is definitely a game manager at best. Not running the ball was clearly the gameplan and stupid, given McCarron and their inability to protect McCarron.

Every coach in the world can be outcoached on a given day. They are all arrogant and believe in "their" way, so they ignore obvious answers in front of them.

 

AJ threw 400 balls OB last night because he isn't accustomed to finding open guys and making good throws.

 

The most shocking thing to me last night was the amount of pressure that OU was able to generate rushing 4. Their most effective rusher was an undersized DE.

 

When you can get pressure without having to blitz/stunt it makes playing defense that much easier. Especially when as discussed, the QB has no clue how to progress his reads.

 

AL's road graders don't appear to have the feet necessary to build a pocket.
