[BCS Champ] vBook: Auburn vs. Florida State

[dad4aa]

It's not a bandwagon if it's true. I'm not sure how anyone can actually deny it.

Its the SEC teams that will never be in the championship but talk about how "we" are dominant that I hate. This is a National Championship team not a National Championship conference and the only way for that to stop is to have someone other than the SEC win. We had our chance last year so now I am pulling for FSU.

On a side note, if Auburn wins, at least this championship wasn't bought.

 

[gkIrish]

So he just up and decided o drive to ESPN studios on own dime on give his opinion for free?? That's a bridge I'm not buying...

I agree it's weird. He is almost certainly declaring so probably a moot point.

 

[Irish Fam]

I'm sticking with FSU. Winston makes a big time comeback

Bennett Jackson getting some heat on twitter right now and I'm assuming he deleted what he said, sounds like it was about last years game, anyone catch what it was?

Anybody know what Bennett said?

Sure, but four SEC teams have won titles since any team from any other conference. That's a solid percentage of the conference.

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

Anybody know what Bennett said?

He said "#1 seed is cursed".

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

He said "#1 seed is cursed".

Then someone chimed in that he sucked and opposing parties took their sides and he said its getting heated and he pretty much left the convo.

Twitter is evil.

Leave it to twitter to cause drama over such a petty comment.

Late to the party so may have already been said but:

Gus Malzahn>>>>Jimbo Fisher

That first half shows why you have to be very careful giving the heisman to freshman QB's that play soft schedules and face no game time adversity.

Heisman winners not playing well in their bowl game is a tradition.

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

Kick it to the white guy.

 

[IrishJayhawk]

Huge drive.

 

[palinurus]

I am not sure why these announcers feel compelled to continuously announce their assessment that FSU isn't out of this game, rather than just let the game and score speak for itself. What a long fall from Keith Jackson.

Be careful on the Malzahn greater than Fisher statement. While I tend to agree. Malzahn clearly had a better game plan but Malzahn isn't keeping up with FSU's adjustments on D. It is making me nervous right now as I had Auburn winning but they've been stalling out lately.

will Brent and Herbie be doing all future natty broadcasts?...or is there a TV deal/stations rotation of some sort? does espn have it all in the new format next year?

ps im one "big fella" by Brent away from winning my over/under bet.
vegas had line at 6 and with the 4q to go i need 7.

 

[ND NYC]

auburn bound to lose one of these fumbles...

I believe ESPN owns all the rights moving forward... I'd say they basically bought a playoff.

ESPN has rights to the playoff. Not sure about who has each of the 6 select bowls though.

 

[IrishJayhawk]

oh boy

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

2-3 awful personal fouls on FSU.

 

[chicago51]

Common Malzahn get your offense back on track! Time for some of those mad scientist in game adjustments.

 

[gkIrish]

If Auburn scores a TD with between 3 and 7 minutes left they should absolutely go for 2. They won't, but they should.

 

[Redbar]

Looked like a trip at the end of that pick.

 

[IrishJayhawk]

Can't get much more even at this point.

I can see why the Miamis and Floridas of the world hate FSU; that tomahawk chop chant is irritating as hell, and I don't really care who wins. If I had to hear that all the way through a game I cared about, it would engender deep and abiding hatred.

Truth. It's like that stupid USC riff.

 

[gkIrish]

I'm thinking this drive will end in a TD or Interception.
