****Official Post Game Thread - Bama vs. Notre Dame in the BSCCG****

[Go Bama]

Since we won, so that I can't be called a sore loser, I despise Notre Dame, their alumni, thier university, and their fans. They are, what my dear mother would call, because she had no swear words in her vocabulary, common.

I love this post.

For me, this takes care of 1966.....

I'm not sure that 1966 can ever be taken care of, but I know that Ara Parseghian went to bed miserable tonight, and that warms the cockles of my heart...

I expected victory not destruction. Superb effort

 

[IH8Orange]

It's kind of ridiculous how obviously upset old Urban is over this. No matter, Bama put on an absolute clinic and left no doubt. It's almost unbelievable what our staff and players have been able to do. I'm so proud of this team!

He probably walked off out of sight afterward and had a few stomach spasms and 3 to 4 minutes of reflexive upchucking... for old times' sake. :biggrin:

Roll Tide!!! Great game!!!:BigA::BigA::BigA:

 

[IH8Orange]

was just thinking the same thing - very class act and didn't shy away from giving Bama all the credit.

I'll always hate ND, but I'm becoming a Kelly fan

Kelly has shown a lot of class and the ND players impressed me with their attitude. I don't think I can really pull for them in football, but I wish them the best in other endeavors.

How balanced were we tonight?

265 yards rushing....264 yards passing.

 

[OK_BamaFan]

What an amazing night! Roll Tide from Miami!!

 

[TideMom2Boys]

Should be a national holiday tomorrow. Hate to have to get up early for work.

Like the 500+ yards, in offense?

Notre Dame gave up more yards to Alabama than did Western Kentucky, Florida Atlantic, or Western Carolina. :biggrin:

Western Kentucky and Florida Atlantic even held us to less points than the Irish.

most proud i've been since the 92 team...completely unexpected (IMO) coming into the year. tremendous accomplishment in "BCS" time winning 3 in 4...really incredible. So glad I was the true title game in person (SECCG)

Domers will be good for a long time and Kelly is not only a class act but a great coach and recruiter.

now just need Lacy to the Steelers in first round

 

[Gallowglas]

I'm on cloud nine...this run has been amazing and I'm looking forward to many more to come!

Normally I'm very gracious about such things, but I've had a UT fan in my ear at the gym for a month talking to me about how he's buying Irish gear and so forth. Needless to say I'm not letting him off the hook. I asked him if he'd like for me to look for some discount gear while I'm shopping for my national title gear.

ROLL TIDE!

When will the Eli Gold broadcast be replayed? I didn't listen to him, but I would love to. Normally it's on Sundays...but I wonder when they will with the weekday.

 

[meabamafan]

Thank you to the players and coaches for an awesome game...So very proud to be an ALABAMA fan!!

 

[IH8Orange]

I'm not sure that 1966 can ever be taken care of, but I know that Ara Parseghian went to bed miserable tonight, and that warms the cockles of my heart...

I'd like to mail him a tie with 42-14 embroidered in it to commemorate the occasion. DT_git:

I hope they excel in washing windows

What a game. Excellence in every facet of the game. Notre Dame just wasn't ready. They were classy in defeat however. Hats off to them and their coach. I have a feeling they will continue to improve.

Urban Meyer - why did they invite him to the postgame analysis? I admit it was a bit rude for Pollack to talk dismissively of spread teams while Meyer was sitting right there. You could tell that ....ed him off, but there's a right and a wrong way to handle it. The right way would be to make a joke and laugh about it. The wrong way is to do what he did, which is to vent his own personal dislike of Saban (funny how easy it is to dislike someone when you can't beat them) and start bringing up the loss to A&M. Totally classless. Too bad his own team was ineligible to play for the title this year. Guess when you run away from the big boys, you have to settle for less.

I noticed something in watching interviews with players from Alabama and Notre Dame before the game. Several UA players said they came here specifically to play in games like this. On the other hand several ND players said that while they were certainly happy to be here, they never expected it to happen when they committed to play there. Seems like this may have had something to do with how things unfolded tonight. Bama's players wanted this a lot more, from the start of the season and all throughout the preparations.

Congratulations to Coach Saban, the seniors, all the players, and all of us. What a great time to be a fan of the Crimson Tide!

And made em like it.

Like the frat house guys holding their ankles in Animal House: "Thank you very much, may I have another?"

Re-watching Urban Meyer's commentary. He looks very emotionally affected. I think by halftime he was looking for a way to bow out of having to talk about Bama and Saban. I LOOOOOOOOOVE that.
