D.J. Durkin has been working with Bama as an "advisor" the past couple of weeks.

In Saban's defense, Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey were unavailable...

One number, two different narratives.

It just shows how unreliable ESPN is as a sports commentator. But I guess when you are the story, how can you be?

In all fairness, Dabo kept saying "thank The LORD", but I don't recall him ever saying "Jesus".

 

 

He did, and used some goofy acronym I guess he came up with. It was lame

“For me, joy comes from focusing on Jesus, others and yourself. There are so many coaches that are so deserving of a moment like this. To get to do it once, and now to get to do it again, it’s a blessing. It’s simply the grace of the good Lord to allow us to experience something like this,” he told ESPN’s Tom Rinaldi. “When you get a young group of people who believe, who sacrifice, who are committed to a singleness of purpose, great things can happen. You can’t write a Hollywood script like this. Only God can do this.”

Has everyone done the right thing this morning and checked on their aggie friends, colleagues, and family? I worry that most of them have probably locked themselves in a closest, slowly rocking back and forth, softly repeating "SEC defense" over and over. Get them help before it's too late.

I think Dabo was thanking Saban.

Sure you're not thinking about Christian Bale thanking him?

What's crazy is that they still lost overall TOP 28:23 to 31:37. Having a stacked defensive front, great red zone defense, and an incredibly potent offense greatly overshadows the significance of that statistic.

Stop with the religion talk, idiots.

You need Jesus! 

Oh boy, Bama taking a page out of USC's 2005 playbook.

The Clemson offense put up 35 points against what was supposed to be a solid Alabama defense on Monday night, but at least one Crimson Tide player was not impressed by what he saw on the other side of the field.

Alabama defensive tackle Quinnen Williams said after his team’s 44-16 loss in the National Championship Game that the Clemson offense was “very easy” to defend. He said the Tide faced far better offenses before the title game.

“They weren’t hard at all,” Williams said in a postgame interview showed on ESPN. “They were very easy. They capitalized on a lot of mental errors. We made a lot of mental errors. They didn’t come out and do nothing special. We played greater offense than that – Oklahoma offense or Georgia offense. We just made a lot of mental errors and they capitalized. That’s what good teams do – they capitalize on mental errors.”

Clemson is the first team since 1897 to finish 15-0

Amazing Penn found 15 games to play in 1897. Looks like nobody else played more than 12 games that season, per wikipedia. Odd that Penn isn't on that page, but they do have their own dedicated page here.

 

Best part is that aggy went 1-2 in 1897. They've been good at losing in three different centuries now!

13 home games? Talk about an unbreakable record.

I wish I could embed tweets on mobile... 

Hey Quinnen - 

Clemson's song choice for bus ride back to hotel - Dixieland Delight. Complete with insertions of Roll Tide.

Yea, but the SEC is trying to match that.

Ends at the 1:06 mark, but worth it for the lulz...

 

I never thought I'd dvr and entire day of Finebaum.

I was wrong.

Oh, how sweet the wine!

Man, they are throwing Tua under the bus on Finebaum BIG TIME.

I've never heard one negative word until today, but damn, things have changed a bit now.  Dude is getting gutted on the show.

If they were to do actual analysis, they'd have to admit that Tua and Fromm aren't getting good coaching in identifying defenses.  And the only reason they looked good previously was that they weren't being challenged by anyone good at disguising blitzes and coverage in conference play or their soft non-conf schedule.

When forced to win the game against defenses who could disguise their pass D, the top QBs in the SEC flopped.  Much easier to turn on a single player (and ignore the other prime example) than to admit that there is a systemic problem that starts with recruiting but extends to coaching, scheduling policies and the pace of change outside the SEC.

Probably not. Did you hear him talking about Murray?

I'm on a flight from O'Hare to Charlotte, and it's about 40% Clemson fans. Surprised that they couldn't get a direct flight back to Charlotte from SJO, SFO, or OAK.

And none of them appear suitably hungover. Their fanbase must already be spoiled.

Here's the graphic they put up while going in dry on Tua...

You can fly from SJO to Atlanta and Raleigh but not Charlotte.  If you're going to connect anyway, it makes sense to fly through a Midwest hub where you're not hostage to Delta.

Tua lost the Heisman when he had to be bailed out against UGA.  He was 10-25 with 2 INTs.

Billy Goebbels and the whole "losing is winning" narrative.....its like he has an ESPN chip installed.

And he does.

It  also programs him to swallow fast and hard in the glory holes around BCS.

Wut?

This is interesting - looks like Clemson may have cluster lucked their way into a blowout.  I wonder when people are going to begin talking about successful play sequencing in football like hit clustering is talked about in baseball.  Maybe in ten years?

The people that stopped to eat those tenders had to have either been from Florida, lived in Florida, or in somehow are related to someone in Florida. Because that is the most Florida thing since the guy that stole someone’s vacuum and then shit on the floor in Ocala.

The SEC just wasn't motivated to win..? (we will go with that)
