2015-16 CFB Bowl Games Thread

[hehateme]

Is this real life? This guy is melting the fuck down in front of my eyes.

True...not like Bama didn't earn this one. Much better than that shitfest Mich. St. put up against them.

[Silver&Black]

Ball game...

Tru dat. I thought it was a great game...I'm not in the "boring" group.

[Silver&Black]

Congrats Thread

Nat'l Championship for Bammer.

[MultiTroll]

:lol Latest TD call ever
I thought Henrys momentum was stopped.
Then he spun and reached the ball over.

But he did come to a complete stop, right?

[UNT Eagles 2016]

shit... fuck college sports... fuck capitalism in college sports

[UNT Eagles 2016]

The point shaving refs and greedy billionaires and near billionaires won tonight. A win for evil pigs, a loss for humanity. Shameful night.

[hehateme]

On to next year clemson will be even better with that returning offense. I feel sorry for my noles and bimbo fisher.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

NCAAF needs to dispose of this dynasty like Standard Oil in the 1910s. Greedy monopoly needs to go...

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Fuck this... horrid last year in college! First everything else and now this! Fuck college, and there's nothing to do that's fun after college so I might as well kill myself... FUCK!

[Silver&Black]

S-E-C, S-E-C, S-E-C

:cry

[UNT Eagles 2016]

fed the fuck up with Alabama and the SEC (except I love A&M but they never get a fair shake with talent)

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Fat & greedy SEC pigs eating the bacon tonight, nothing to see here.

[Silver&Black]

God forbid the Spurs lose in the playoffs this year.

UNT is legit going to kill himself.

[The Reckoning]

Saban is the Belichick of NCAAF. the dark side balancing out the light side tbh.

I broke my bedroom door over the OKC sham in 2012 (end of 11th grade)

I broke quite a few things over 6... (end of senior year)

I had to run out of a bar to avoid getting arrested after throwing a punch at the end of game 7 last year...


It's a matter of time.

College basketball sucks. Even my sports junkie grandma (who watches golf and will watch some poker and even curling) can't get into college basketball. It's in the same league as women's tennis or volleyball.

roid rage is a serious issue and problem.....and it also shrinks your balls......you might want to stop.

btw, breaking shit over a stupid sporting event, especially one not involving your team, is about as stupid as fans burning down their own city after they win a Championship, or those idiots in Los Angeles who burned down and rioted their own broke ass neighborhood to protest the Rodney King verdict, instead of taking their anger to the whiter areas of the city.

I used to get really angry over sporting events, never broke anything though. However, I would let it stew and bother me for quite a while....then, I found myself a beautiful woman, started a family, and now, the anger goes away after a few minutes. Really, the only one that lingered was game 6 against Miami. But, we were both quite upset with that one.

I didn't break anything tonight or even shout, lol. My throat is too sore anyways. I'd rather just vent online. I didn't have ST in 2012 and 2013 (was banned under old username for a scandal that involved posting a picture of a girl in my high school).


I do break shit over important Spurs losses, though. Especially the heartbreaking ones.


I don't have a beautiful woman. Or a woman at all. When/if I find one, sports won't matter as much, I agree. But until then, I get to vent and be pissed off with the world. Fuckers.

I don't know what happened, or when it did, but somewhere in the late 90s or early 2000s, college basketball went to shit. I used to love watching it in the 80s and early 90s.

I think it would be better if they lowered the shot clock to 24, had four 10 minute quarters, told the refs to stop calling a foul on every possession, get rid of all the flippin timeouts (2 per quarter, with no carry over), get rid of the possession arrow (use the jump ball). and find a way to get these kids to stay at least 3 years (so we can learn who they are, watch them develop and grow up before our eyes, and also build team chemistry).

- Lower the shot clock (agree)... 35 seconds breeds laziness and doesn't prepare them for the NBA
- Agree on the quarters. Halves are sooooooooo dull
- Agree on too many timeouts
- Get rid of the "1 and 1's" crap
- Agree on the possession arrow (that's the dumbest shit ever)
- Make them decide between going straight out of HS (like Lebron/Kobe) and going at least 2 years. No one-and-done

Good...does that mean you'll stay the fuck out of the March Madness thread? Or will you be in there melting down like you did ITT.

[Avante]

Closer than I thought it would be but there was no doubt Alabama would win. SEC rules~~~~~~

Derrick Henry another 100 yard game, the guy does need to do some speed work in the off season.

Some announcer once talked about his 11.00 100m as if that was fast, Reggie Bush ran a 10.4ish, Jamaal Charles a 10.1ish.

Saban rules. That's about it.

[Thread]

The onside kick, the kickoff return by Drake and the run by Coker for the first down late.

Drake was absolutely flying on that return. Once he got parrallel with the sideline he went to another gear. Incredible. On replay #15 for Clemson came from the origin of Drake's catch in a desperate attempt to run him down. Just an amazing play.

& Saban, he saw it all before him at 21-21. Where it was headed and then went about preventing his own ruination. That's how you do that. That's the lesson. He knew. He broke the chain of events that were ordained and sent the game on a completely different course where he was topsy & they were turvy.

They were going to crucify him, hang his ass from the tree of woe. & he got it stopped.

[pgardn]

Alabama pulled off some huge plays. The attitude and discipline of their players make the Bengals look like a farm league team.

Henry got that early break away and then was stuffed. He got tackled a number of times in the open field by one man. Welcome to good tackling and a D that is not perpetually getting pushed backwards.

The talented dual threat QB in college is very difficult to stop even with a deep defense.

I still hate Saban even when he says all the right things.

Thats what I got.

Yep. And Saban faced that awful truth last nite with incredible clarity.

I thought he was going to stand still and hope it didn't get worse. I was wrong.

[Vito Corleone]

Okay, I just gotta say if there is a Hall of Fame on spurstalk for threads, this one needs to go in. The UNT meltdown was epic! It was like driving up on a head-on collision, you want to turn your head and not see the carnage, but you can't.

I'm seriously thinking about going back to page 5 and re-reading this meltdown as it happens.

Oh, and just like USC fan used to think they were never going to stop winning titles, Bama will one day fall from grace.

all true but two wide open long tds for that TE and the first down on basically a short wheel type route by the same freaking TE that burnt them twice ... was backbreaking.
I hate Kiffin but he called a great game that arrogant prick.

[Killakobe81]

Retarded play calling by Kiffin.
Have no idea how he made it onto Sabans staff.

what?! his shcemes made Coker look like a NFL QB. I hate Kiffin's ass but he is a good OC.

[Avante]

The Alabama Crimson Tide claimed their fourth national title in seven years on Monday and were rewarded (http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2016/1/12/10753356/clemson-vs-alabama-final-score-national-championship) with the No. 1 spot in the final Associated Press Top 25 shortly after. The Crimson Tide jumped ahead of Clemson, which finished at 14-1 and No. 2 after the 45-40 loss.
This is the 10th time Alabama has finished the year ranked No. 1 in the AP Poll. The Crimson Tide started the year at No. 3 in the preseason poll and were never ranked higher than No. 2 before ending the year at No. 1. They have finished the year in the AP Top 10 in eight straight seasons.


Clemson's No. 2 ranking is the highest the Tigers have finished in the final AP Poll since they finished No. 1 in 1981. The Tigers spent much of the season ranked No. 1 and finished the regular season undefeated. Although they were runners-up this season, they will be a popular pick to be No. 1 in the preseason poll next season.
Stanford, Ohio State and Oklahoma round out the final top five. The Cardinal jumped up from No. 5 to No. 3 after an impressive showing in the Rose Bowl. Ohio State finishes the year at No. 4 after opening as the preseason No. 1. TCU at No. 7, Houston at No. 8 and Ole Miss at No. 10 all jumped into the Top 10 after bowl wins.

Five SEC teams in the final 25 with a National Champion.

One man one school is dominant. No one else.

[Avante]

Why fight it guy, look at NFL rosters, look at the last 20 years of NCAA football. Come on man.

I' a USC fan, a Pac12 fan, but I do keep it real. The best football in the country comes from the SEC.

[Vito Corleone]

So the final poll shows that Texas beat a top 5 team and a top 15 team. But could only muster 3 other wins on the year.

We better do a lot better next year or we better be blowing this up and getting a new coach.

[Silver&Black]

I'm seriously thinking about going back to page 5 and re-reading this meltdown as it happens.

I'll join ya....it was epic.

[pgardn]

Okay, I just gotta say if there is a Hall of Fame on spurstalk for threads, this one needs to go in. The UNT meltdown was epic! It was like driving up on a head-on collision, you want to turn your head and not see the carnage, but you can't.



Im not cleaning up the mess when the Spurs lose a playoff game.
Hair, blood, tissue everywhere.

[leemajors]

I'll join ya....it was epic.

was definitely impressive

We aren't talking about the NFL. Saban is the only thing holding up the incest conference.

[Silver&Black]

The Gemini Method

What can you tell me about USC LB Coach Peter Sirmon? He's going to be the new D Coordinator at Mississippi State...

[Avante]

We aren't talking about the NFL. Saban is the only thing holding up the incest conference.

How many bowls have had an SEC team in them the last decade, well? And, if ya want to know just how good an NCAA conference is ya look how many of it's players get drafted, you really don't know this?

[Pelicans78]

One man one school is dominant. No one else.

To be fair, Florida (2009), LSU (2011), and Georgia (2012) could have easily won the championship as well.

[spankadelphia]

To be fair, Florida (2009), LSU (2011), and Georgia (2012) could have easily won the championship as well.

Auburn almost won in 2013.

A couple of busted coverages and special teams mistakes cost them the game...

[Pelicans78]

Auburn almost won in 2013.

A couple of busted coverages and special teams mistakes cost them the game...

Yup. And the teams I mentioned would have most likely won it all if it wasn't for Alabama.

[Avante]

If you follow college football there is noway you can't see the difference in the SEC and the other conferencs. And like I mentioned I'm a Cali guy with the Pac12/USC my favorites. Why people try to play silly ass games about this....??? Fuck who ya like/don't like, the fact are just that....the facts.

I once watched a Big10 game in the morning, the 1pm game was an SEC game, the difference in the speed of the game was very dramatic. And that is what seperates the SEC...overall team speed and size with speed. They recruit more big fast athletes than any other conference and it's obvious.

The SEC is the track*** conference, those schools could beat some countries, dead serious.

*** TCU does have 100m sprinters, with Baylor 400m guys,
