CFP Semi #1, Rose Bowl, 'Bama vs. Michigan
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew

He seems pretty douchey to me.
After watching Yesterday’s Georgia-Florida game I feel compelled to say that Georgia was robbed and screwed by the playoff select committee. If the criteria is to pick “The Best Teams” Georgia was definitely a top 4 team.
Michigan will beat Texas, but I’m not so sure about Washington.

Can't stand Michigan for a lot of reasons that I won't bore you with, but I really like Blake Corum. He's the pride of Marshall VA although he played his HS ball in MD. Local kid with a great attidude who has made Marshall VA proud. Just wish he had gone to PSU.
Allar would have had to be 9 feet tall to catch that pass
I love both sports. Doesn’t make me want to root for a football player differently.
OK, I'll admit it. I ended up rooting for Michigan. Jim Harbaugh is a big time douchebag. There are none bigger. I don't like the Wolverines, and it wouldn't have bothered me if they had lost.
But I don't like Nick Saban, either, And I particularly don't like the SEC, or SEC teams, fans and coaches. The smugness and arrogance factor there is off the charts. And Alabama is at the top of that pyramid of smugness and arrogance. As soon as the game started and I saw the teams out there on the field, I was reminded of all of that, and I'm glad that Alabama did not even make it to the finale. Screw 'em.
Now, I want the winner of Texas and Washington to go out there and beat the crap out of Michigan next Monday. I think it will be Washington taking the whole enchilada. I could (and probably will) be dead wrong, but that is my prediction.

Well, to be fair, it was rumored that some of the PSU players were driving new cars when I was there in the 90’s, but there was no social media then so I guess we’re good?
It’s easy . You're like a golden retriever. Work on that hate game in the off season . Show me your war face Pyle !

I was at PSU in the 90’s too and knew a few players. Most never wore anything but the swag they got from the team. I also worked in the compliance office as a student and reviewed their applications for money for winter clothes and other things. Maybe a player here or there had something - Bama’s car handouts were legendary. It’s why Saban is pissed that now any school can do it.
Yeah, that might be bamas first nil loss. The empire isn’t collapsing but there are some cracks.
But that doesn’t mean that others haven’t been doing it too. There’s a reason why Ole Miss went from perennial doormat to top ranked recruiting classes under Hugh Freeze and it wasn’t completely all the hookers and blow. Or the bags of cash Tennessee was supposedly handing out. The SEC, and college football in general, have been dirty for decades. I don’t find Saban any slimier than others, but I may be wrong.
I’ve known a few PSU players as well and none of them had new cars.
It’s been a few years since saban last won a NATTY. 
. You have to think the bama trustees are having an emergency meeting tonight to work on saban’s buyout and decide who to hire as his replacement. Franklin will be sitting close to the phone tonight.

Bob you always were an optimist….It’s been a few years since saban last won a NATTY.
Was talking to my PSU buddy who played circa 1980. He said he got a job bartending to get some extra money . He was told you’re on scholarship and you can’t have a job . You have to quit .
That’s why I said “rumored”. Thanks for the input. I appreciate it.
That was, unfortunately, the rule. Doesn’t make sense to me.
I guess in theory to stop the guys “working “ at the car dealership , and gifted a car. But in effect , it hurt the good kids/programs.
To continue the debate, would fsu, with a backup QB and without a slew of opt-outs, have given um a better game and possibly beaten um? I say no. We all know that this was not a typical bama team, and they showed their flaws tonight, but they still gave um a tough game and could have won it. I think um would have beaten fsu handily.
I was thinking more like they owned you because of the scholarship and they required you put x amount of hours into whatever you were getting the scholarship for? Who knows. Someone in an office who never played or needed money probably came up with it.
If Harbaugh can say he didn’t know anything that Stallions was doing as a staff member working in the same building as him, then is it possible that Nick didn’t know boosters were giving $$$ handshakes to players?

No, it was so certain business owners who were friends of the school couldn’t offer jobs paying $50,000 as a recruiting advantage. Brian Bosworth had a job turning on sprinklers every day and they were automatic sprinklers.

I used the word “possible”.

Who needs handshakes when the shake is the SHAKE?!?If Harbaugh can say he didn’t know anything that Stallions was doing as a staff member working in the same building as him, then is it possible that Nick didn’t know boosters were giving $$$ handshakes to players?
