Game Thread: CFP NCG: #1 Clemson vs #2 Alabama, ESPN, 8:30ET

[4down20]

Only an Ohio St fan can be dumb enough to make an Auburn fan defend Alabama.

SVP and Russelo were truly a team. Now it feel like Rusello caries the whole weight on his shoulders. Not a big Kannel fan.

I completely agree. Better than that week be brought in Rosenberg though. I was worried that was full time, he was just awful. At least Kannel can contribute adequately having his own opinion. He deserves a better co-host though.

I changed my vote to Clemson to offset the other people changing.

It was almost even right after half time.

You guys are right. I misread the rules. The touching the ground only comes into play when the somebody calls for fair catch. If he had fair caught it, it would be illegal. And I found a video, they weren't offsides. The the opportunity to possess you guys are also right about that. I just flat out ignored some words in that rule. My bad guys. I'm high as fuck and mad. Just ignore what I post about Alabama for the next few hours.

At least you don't have family members who are fans and lost 5 fricken years in a row to them.

Saban is going to get calls from a lot of NFL teams.

Some moar.

Saban is going to get calls from a lot of NFL teams.

And they are all going to get a dead line. Why would he leave? Maybe like MJ going play minor league baseball, because it is becoming boring? I just don't see how he walks away with only one more title needed to claim the most national titles of all time.

Because he wasn't before

I honestly don't think he's ever going to leave until he retires.

In the past I've just always said I'd wish him the best, but at this point I think he's going to retire here.

Next big event (besides fiesta bowls and occasional CFB playoff games) is the 2017 final four and then Glendale goes to the end of line again. I think their next chance at hosting a SB is in the 2020's.

Let it out man.. we've had to put up with bama fans and that asshat hammer down for WAY too long now!

...and now Mack Brown is talking.

I think the interest this year is going to be the most in a while in trying to lure him.

Go back to that special teams TD. Clemson defender had complete outside contain RIGHT ON the ball carrier, and just jumped inside for NO reason... sad.

Clemson biggest weakest was defending the kickoff return and bama capitalize. I was hoping that the kicker could get it to the endzone every time.

I don't think he's going to leave either but Saban is someone who seeks a challenge. He's obviously on top in the CFB world.

No. Someone will answer in hushed tones agreeing to meetings but having to get off the phone quickly after confirming.

In a couple of days, the front offices will open the door and welcome...Joey Freshwater.

Being from Arizona it's been an awesome 4 year stretch for Glendale and tourism money.

He lost a game tho. Challenge accepted.

He doesn't have full control over those NFL guys though. He does seek challenges, but calculated challenges. Like at LSU, we have tons of talent but let them get out the state. He did a great job and got the call from Miami then coached at Alabama which doesn't have huge amounts of in-state talent plus shares it with Auburn, but it doesn't matter because it is a prestigious national program. It isn't smart to leave in my opinion.

I think the interest this year is going to be the most in a while in trying to lure him.

Let's look at the openings
Browns, Miami, Tampa Bay, Titans, Eagles, Giants, possibly the Lions and Bengals. I don't seem him wanting any of those. Cowboys might have a chance but Jerry Jones would never give up complete control to get him and Saban won't be anyone's puppet, even if he is the right size for it
