These comments:

“Alabama was clearly the better team on offense and defense. One person killed their win. One person. Alabama did a better job of shutting down LSU better than the other way. Alabama was moving the ball more and getting into scoring range more than LSU was. One person, my friend, made the difference.”

1. Let’s just say that Bama “clearly” was the better team, just for the sake of argument. If so, then their failure would be EVEN GREATER. No, these were two evenly matched teams who showed up to play and played hard.

2. Your second comment: “One person killed their win.” – actually that’s a team concept and team play that taught Reid to think for himself and watch the play to make a play on the ball for the sake of his team. “Team” is Miles’ main coaching concept. It makes Miles a better coach than Saban, which I keep trying to tell you Bama fans.

3. “Alabama was moving the ball more and getting into scoring range more than LSU was” – by that you mean really, really long-range field goals? Saban put his players in position to fail, and they did. The same is true for putting Maze back in to return that punt. Error in judgement on Saban’s part. Miles and Chavis put our players in position to succeed, and they did. Did I mention Miles is a better coach than…oh, nevermind… *grin*

4. “One person, my friend, made the difference.” Yes, and let that be a lesson for us all – but he was there, doing that for and because of: team. Miles seems to emphasize individual responsibility for the sake of the team.

GREAT game. Awe-inspiring defense on both sides.

Actually, “hisself” IS a word commonly used in vernacular English as spoken in the South, urban areas, and many rural and urban areas of England. “Hisself” has historical roots that go back probably to Middle English or at least the beginnings of modern English thereafter, but at any rate it is not new and it is not a corruption so much as an adaptation and attempt to regularize irregular possessive reflexive pronoun. “Hisself” ranks up there with “ain’t” as one of the most misunderstood and yet most widely used markers of our beloved Southern variety of English.

For misself (which is not a word but is funny), I used “hisself” in a tongue-in-cheek fashion to lend a “local color” feel to my comments related to the conduct of said Honey Badger, who has been one of my favorite players all season. May he…um…”live long and prosper.” :)

Ha Ha, You making a guarantee on that LSU/Arkansas game?, giving up on your own team for the Iron Bowl? Let’s play what if’s. Ark beats LSU, Oregon beats Stanford, Oklahoma beats Okla State and Auburn pulls an up set or Georgia wins the SEC Championship game. Guess who’s in the big game! It isn’t over till all the games are played. WPS nice win over that dominating South Carolina Defense.Could have easily been a 58-17 ball game. No Hog respect just wait till that battle for the Boot day after Thanksgiving. Not out of the realm of possibility now is it.

No doubt about it on the block in the backs that happened because I jumpin up and down when he got the pick but when I saw the blocks in the back I was ready to the remote at the tv but what Tyrann did was a very cheap thuggish thing to do and I really think they shouldve sit him out for atleast a series on defense

I was too trashed before the game started. I found out the outcome when I woke up this morning naked in the living room floor.

To be a reception, the receiver has to come down in the field of play with possession of the football. If you’ll look closely at the 1:00 mark of the video, the receiver has lost possession before he hits the ground, and the LSU defender gains possession. If you go by the rule book, since the receiver didn’t come down with possession of the football, it’s not a catch, and the LSU defender gained possession before the ball hit the ground, making it an interception, instead of a fumble recovery. This was a good call by the officials.

Have you stopped to consider what a windfall this is going to be for New Orleans? Alabama will bring their team and fan base into the city for the Sugar Bowl, and one week later LSU will play there for the BCS Championship. Cha-Ching!!!

Jeremy, you can’t remove your weakest link and then declare you have the better team. For better or worse, your kicking game is an integral part of your team. If the kicking game is lacking, it brings down the entire team, and keeps them from being a great team, but only a very good team. Yes, the game went into overtime, but it was played in the friendly confines of Bryant-Denny Stadium. If Alabama can’t beat them on their own turf, with their own crowd behind them, what makes some of you think LSU didn’t prove to be the better team because of the need for overtime?

BLA, BLA, BLA… Truely epic! I am a BAMAfan to the end!! I enjoyed an awesome display of power by “both” teams. That is why every other conference in the nation is “SKEEERED” of the SEC!!! No matter which bowl game the SEC is in, I will still root for them all. RTR!!
