[NCAAF] vBook: National Championship: Clemson Tigers vs Alabama Crimson Tide

[BeatSC]

Can’t believe Lawrence is still in there running head first. Book would be sliding to preserve his pro career........in Canada.

Are we seeing the beginning of the end for Alabama? Not saying they'll just drop off a cliff but I mean I haven't seen Alabama get pushed around like this and not be the more physical team since 2007 and earlier. I mean Alabama is thoroughly defeated mentally and physically.

as of the end of the regular season,,,, this was supposed to be the best Bama team ever lol....

First time since Utah beat them that I’ve seen a Bama team get trashed like this.

 

[BeatSC]

We didn’t give up rushing yards like that to Lawrence

 

[loomis41973]

So ND is one point better than 'bama?

Seeing a little adversity can be a good thing. The Syracuse game was a learning experience for Clemson as was the first 20 minutes against the Irish!

FSU will get their shit back together as soon as they get rid of WT. Miami too probably quicker.



I didn't either, but got hooked in the 1Q.
I just want Clemson to beat Bama by more than 30 so I can jack jaw with the Bama fans around here. Praying for at least a FG in the last 3mins

How can you be so convinced about the U getting back? If they’ve shown anything over the last 15 years, it’s that they can’t field a consistent team

 

[BeatSC]

They keep bragging about this guys 3.0GPA. I wonder how many of those we have and with our ciriculum.

 

[drayer54]

At least they covered the over. I’ll bet Kelly doesn’t mind watching this.

 

[BeatSC]

20212we got beat by 28 now it’s Bama’s Turn. This was supposed to be our revenge but I’ll take it! If ND got blown out in this game we wouldn’t get to hold onto the number 2 spot.

 

[ACamp1900]

Fuck Bama sideways,... that’s all I can say.

[BeatSC]

Wow! 49secnds away from losing to the Orange men. What is Kelly Bryant thinking now?

We all make typos, but I had to chuckle when you misspelled curriculum.

**** Bama, **** Georgia,and finally **** the SEC! GOODNIGHT!

Dabo says if they can do it, then anyone can do it. That gives me hope.

Clemson was A+ at QB, RB, Wr, OL, DL, LB and S. Oh and Coaching too.

They maybe had a “weakness” at corner. That was a more complete team than almost any recent champion.

Bama back 7 as weak as it’s been in years. Coaching staff too.

ND stacks up with anyone on each D level and RB. But Book without a deep ball, lack of game breaking WRs and OL is difference between Clemson and ND.

Bama riding back to the hotel on the ROY bus.

TIDE'S ROLLED!

 

[BeatSC]

They showed Dexter on the sidelines a lot more during the ND game.

While I like and respect Mark Richt, he was too soft and too nice for the U. I think Diaz will instill a nastiness to the whole team, just like he did to the D. If they get the right OC, they could rebound very quickly. If I was Diaz, I'd go all in on Jeff Scott, but there are a few others that would be great hires too.

FSU will likely hold on to WT for another couple years. They should have ripped off the band aid this year and started fresh.

this is partially right. notre dame needs to go and get out recruits that can come in and make an impact right away. Ross and Taylor are both freshman that will be there for two more years. QB is a harder area to recruit, but have to find one guy every year that can make plays on offense.

 

[Irishize]

For two championship coaches in Saban & Swinney what a stark contrast in culture. Saban seems to run his program like a semi-professional franchise whereas you can truly see the family-like culture that Swinney promotes. Their respective styles work for them but it’s interesting to see the differences in two champs.

I agree on FSU, but hope that you’re wrong on Miami. I can’t stand that team when they’re good. I thought Richt would succeed there with his track record at GA. Seemed to fit well. The longer FSU and Miami are down, the better..... Although it’d be nice for someone to be able to somewhat challenge Clemson

Can we just delete every post on this board from the last week and start over again?

ND IMO has recruits that can contribute early. We typically stay "safe" instead of playing those guys. Dex is a great example. Austin (and other WRs are another) another. Boykin/Claypool/Finke (especially Boykin and Finke) are absolutely "safe" choices. BK has had a long history of being 1) too loyal to his older guys, and 2) staying safe vs rolling the dice on young talent.

That osterine stuff must really work. Lol

Only when the lord blesseth the paw. According to Dabo, Jesus gave Clemson the “eye of the tiger”. Holy eyedrops blessed with the osterine?

Also interesting that probably 50% of their players can't read at a high school junior level.

I decided I like Trevor Lawrence though. Seems like a decent guy considering he's God's gift to the quarterback position.

I can't stand either team. Hate is a great word. My most hated teams are 1) USC, 2) scUM, 3) Miami, 4) FSU... Miami and FSU used to be 1 and 2...

OSU, Bama, UGA, FL, are also in my top 10. There's not a FL P5 team I don't cringe at though lol..

I'm actually a bit sad at the whole Richt situation. While I hated UGA, it was hard not to like Richt. He's such a great dude. I had hoped he'd do well at Miami (just not enough to beat ND), but always found it a weird destination for him based on his personality, and the U's history....

A strong ACC is good for us. It's more challenging for us on the field, but good for SoS, and even better for our recruiting. We'll end up in the ACC at some point in the next 10 years I'd bet, so I hope they aren't a top heavy league with Clemson the only 1st class team.

Dear Book. If you are reading this, eventually BeatSC drops the ‘n-word’ and gets banned. Thanks for the great season!

I think subconsciously you like TL because he's the illegitimate son of Fabio Lanzoni.
