As our illustrious Ponder said, you can't win 'em all, particularly when you lie down and play dead. :lol: :lol: :XD: :XD: :XD:

Bama got busted. My ribeye was great and I had waaaay too many beers. The game sucked but I think Saban is not worried about his job.

Whew! We were worried about ya!

Deer is still in the freezer but I had a great ribeye. The SEC overall sucked this year. I feel like Oregon will win it all.

Sorry to disappoint you my friend "pounder" but your not alone eating that crow. Being from Big Ten country that I was for many years, you would think I would be happy for the Ohio State win. Have not been an Ohio State fan since "WOODY" threw that punch against the kid from Clemson. I have always (regardless of outcome) been a huge ND fan. My dad would tell my siblings and cousins I was an IRISH fan long before I was conceived. LOL. My IRISH pulled one out against LSU Tuesday evening. As they say it had to be "The Luck Of The IRISH"!!!!! Oregon really put it to FSU. No offense meant towards JIMBO, but had it been a Bobby Bowden team, they may have still lost the game, but would not have been embarrassed by such a huge massacre. IMO

Being a BAMA fan I have a certain hatred of Notre Dame. :lol: Similar to our cross state rival Auburn.

I have understand and don't have a problem with that. Lot's of folks despise ND, but what can I say...that's MY team. Just liike my IRISH, BAMA has had a tremendous amount of gifted athletes come from their school... Starr and Namath come to mind first. But there have been loads of others that I'm sure you can add to my list. I was shocked as you and the world was last night that BAMA lost. Just a few too many costly 2nd half turnovers

The "hate" word was a little strong. The series has been lopsided in Notre Dame's favor. The biggest problem Bama fans have is that Bear Bryant was never able to beat you guys. I was in Birmingham, AL. when we finally won. The night before the game there was a joint pep rally in a ballroom at the Wynfrey. When I first heard of that I thought it was a crazy idea but everybody got along and had a great time.

Bear Bryant was in my opinion THE GREATEST COACH in his time. Despite his lack of success in beating the IRISH, he was always ontop of his game. I read a story long ago about a time he was on the road recruiting (not sure where, but I believe it was in a very remote and poor town in his own state) for a defensive lineman. As the story goes, it was late afternoon and the BEAR had been driving numerous hours and missed his turn while ending up in the backroads. He later said that he was some two hours off his main path (no GPS back then), when he came upon this really old beatup off the beaten path of a worn down "shack" as he called it. Said he laded his gun in his hip pocket for protection while entering the establishment as he feared for his life (never knew him to FEAR anything). Upon entering he was greeted by a rather HUGE black gentleman who owned this "shack". The Bear told this fellow what he was in search of and the gentleman recognized who this stranger was that just entered his business. After some greetings and the BEAR realized he was safe and in good company, the gentleman provided a FREE meal for the Bear. I can not recall what the meat serving was, but it is very popular to thos in that area of Alabama. After spending a much longer than planned time with each other, the Bear reached into his pocket to pay for this mean and the black gentleman refused to accept any funds. After thanking the gentleman Bear went to his car and returned with a huge poster of his previous years National Championship team that he himself signed. The gentleman siad he would post it on the wall for all his customers to view. As it turned out, this gentlemans grandson (I can not recall his name or what position he played) went on to play and was an All American for Alabama a few years later. In closing Pounder, I also recall that the great "Bubba Smith" had always dreamed of playing for Alabama and especially for The Bear. However at the time Bubba was to graduate from HS, the south was not accepting Black students (due to its stong stand on segragation ...such a shame IMO) and Bubba ended up at Michigan State
