This game should not even be played. A complete mismatch.

Lets hope it continues so the evil Alabama does not win

The disgusting Nick Saben is so easy to root against

Doesn't look like that much of a mismatch to me, at least not yet. Maybe Bama will dominate the 4th quarter or something? But for now, seems to me Cincy's still within striking distance in this game.

 

[Golden Spur]

Giving up late score is no bueno. And the only way to beat Bama in bowl games is to get an early lead. Cincy has to get it going on O.

Crap, why did I have to say anything, as soon as I do, Bama pulls out a big play

 

[Golden Spur]

Oh hell, nice return. Try and get at least 3 here, and Bearcats get it first in Q3.

 

[Golden Spur]

Bah. Bama DL too much for 'em.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

This has been a complete mismatch.
Cincy has like maybe 80 yards to Bama's 300 yards

Alabama has completely and utterly dominated the game.
Some dumbass needless penalties have slowed Bama a bit...but that is it.

Just because the score was reasonably close for a bit, the game was not really close.

And is a pace to finish 34-6 even that close???

whaddaya mean! I donate to Nick Saban's sick children's home, and to his blind midgets basketball scholarship.

There is nothing funnier than the face of Nick Saben when he loses. I remember he tried the ridiculous field goal from over 50 yards against Auburn on the last play of the game and Auburn returned the kick all the way for a game-winning TD. The apoplectic face of Saben as that was happening was so satisfying. We laughed and laughed.

 

[Montalban]

A total mismatch. Game should never have been played

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Alabama forgot that they had about a zillion yards rushing in the first half

They are trying to pass their way into letting Cincy back into it.

seems odd..

But, who am I to question Saban.

 

[Golden Spur]

Pass deflections make it worse.

 

[10HtownRebs]

Warm up the bus... Spread covered and Cincy spiraling...

Feeling the SEC power

 

[Golden Spur]

Now just need Bama to cover the -13.5

they did put up a pretty good fight, for what it's worth. at least, in my opinion.

 

[PIBuckeye]

I wanted cincy to win.

But they just don’t have the horses.

Their schedule wa a joke and this is what happens.

Couldn’t even get a TD

 

[Montalban]

I think Georgia and Alabama could be a close game. The difference is that Kirby Smart is not nearly on the same level as a coach as Saben is. Saben will just work around the interior defensive strength of Georgia and Smart will not be smart enough to combat that..
