Game Thread: National Championship: Clemson vs Alabama 8pm ET ESPN

[Jekku]

I must recant what I said about the Clemson d-line earlier. They are beasts!

 

[Moab]

That goal line stand was a case of one team wanting it more...they're taking it to them at the goal line...wow...didn't think I'd see that

Never would have thought I could be this happy for a guy I don’t really know, but is one of the coolest guys on this site and someone I’d double down betting on a better person in real life. Congrats @Edisto_Tiger !!

He won't need any viagra for at least a month!

Roll Tide

Gotta be in it to win it. Hows that gofundme page to get rid of Malzahn going?

I don't think I've ever in my life seen a Nick Saban Alabama team that was this unprepared for a game. This game was doomed from the start with terrible game planning and terrible calls. I hope Saban does a big time audit of things this offseason. I really don't see why we needed to keep Locksley after he got another job for example, it's not like he's some great OC, he was really just put in as next man up kind of thing, hoping to keep him for more than 1 year. Should just go ahead and put in a new guy with energy IMO. A guy like Pruitt - that's the guy you want to keep in that process.

Locksley has been fine to me Lupoi is the missing link. But because he recruits well... Gotta give the other team credit. Clemson has the horses to stall the team in the red area and they have done just that this game.

 

[CowpokeU]

We have a double edged sword here.

If Saban retires then we lose Bama fatigue

Also, if Saban retires, Dabo goes back to Bama and continues the process and we have 10+ more years of this with Bama.

 

[Deep Creek]

Sounds like you don't want to be a #1 seed.

 

[4down20]

Been a long time for sure. Maybe those two Sugar Bowl fiascos against Utah and Oklahoma. Other than that I can't think of any.

I think those were more on the players while this is more on the coaching.

Ooh Lordy I’m having 55-19 flashbacks

Notre dame fans talkin like hey we did better ..lol
Ummm you're not

Stfu with that. USC almost beat Notre Dame . Alabama may be losing but dont think Notre Dame is in these two teams class .

Did not say that, just said it looks as though ND's defense seems to be equal to Alabama's, at least against Clemson.

 

[OregonDucks]

WHO ARE THESE JV ASSISTANT COACHES ALABAMA HAS WORKING FOR HTEM NOW?!?!??

 

[NDGreg]

Alabama will probably be returning more players this year than we have in many years.

I know!!! and Notre Dame's losing all of their players.. sucks.

 

[Jekku]

They’re small timey.

I can guarantee you Venebels would have considered an offer at the U. The school may be shit lately, but that location is too good.

Roll bush!

 

[Bamaklingon]

Hats off to Clemson. They are Champions.

 

[Hillbillyzombie]

Took a shower. Did bama win yet?

 

[cwalke3408]

Maybe Saban is trying to improve Dabos resume to take over after he retire

 

[Bayou Tiger]

Bama fans been hollering "Roll Tide". Well they rollin y'all!

Congrats Clemson and UCF on 2018 co-National championships. Good night all!
