see all updates

PAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWL

Jason Kirk [12:55 AM]:

AIGHT Y’ALL! Thanks for joining us again tonight, we’ll do this TWO MORE TIMES, tomorrow night and Monday night, and then the cold grip of the offseason sets in. Good night!

Ian Boyd [12:54 AM]:

My suspicion is that coaches and players don’t often put the emphasis on bowl games that fans do

Jason Kirk [12:54 AM]:

Ian Boyd [12:54 AM]:

I’m not sure if Saban is too broken up about this

Luke Zimmermann [12:54 AM]:

We had a chance at the end of the game, when it was 38-31… /Kanye shrug

JHouse [12:52 AM]:

Wow, Saban couldn’t want to be at this presser any less.

Ian Boyd [12:52 AM]:

Saban press conference

icorriher [12:48 AM]:

Such a fail not to ask an SEC question… almost like ESPN has a billion dollar network venture w/the SEC next year

Ian Boyd [12:48 AM]:

@Jason Kirk I’d like to hear if Texas offered him

Jason Kirk [12:47 AM]:

@Ian Boyd It’s an odd storyline to ride. He must be a super boring dude.

LordoftheButtfumble [12:47 AM]:

@ Ian, but how does he feel about Lebron James and the Boston Red Sox?

Ian Boyd [12:45 AM]:

ESPN’s perception of how much we care about Knight’s love for Brees needs recalibration

Brett Stover [12:44 AM]:

I am legitimately excited for a conference question for Stoops

stevib [12:42 AM]:

@jared.mcnutt.9 Think I saw it starts at 2 Eastern (normally earlier). XM channel 85. Online: ESPN radio, though a better feed is joxfm.com (birmingham sports radio)

Ian Boyd [12:42 AM]:

Stoops on gameday set, here we go

Uncle Wilson [12:42 AM]:

SEC-No Black Atheletes allowed until 1968! Losers!!!!

Brandon ‘B G’ Garner [12:42 AM]:

@jared.mcnutt.9 espn radio at 1 or 2 pm eastern

Brett Stover [12:42 AM]:

Knight: 72.7% completion!!!

Uncle Wilson [12:41 AM]:

Chip on Shoulder – Crackpot Southerners lose again! Go Sparty!

jared.mcnutt.9 [12:41 AM]:

Is Finebaum on air tomorrow? If so, what time and where can I find a live stream?

Brett Stover [12:40 AM]:

Stoops is now the only coach to win all 4 BCS bowls and the Natty

Uncle Wilson [12:39 AM]:

I thought that Alabama and the SEC was so great? Ha Ha

Ian Boyd [12:39 AM]:

@Mirabeau Lamar Yeah, pretty much.

UnlikeLobster [12:39 AM]:

Holllerrrr

Mirabeau Lamar [12:38 AM]:

@Ian Boyd Would have been in South if it was a state

Uncle Wilson [12:38 AM]:

Oklahoma is in the dust bowl central US

Ian Boyd [12:37 AM]:

@Mirabeau Lamar Sort of. I have relatives up there. As a kid we were watching “Gettysburg” and I called the Union troops “the good guys.” They disagreed with that assessment

Brandon ‘B G’ Garner [12:37 AM]:

@Clay Wendler lol he actually always says that..

jared.mcnutt.9 [12:36 AM]:

@UnlikeLobster 1. NC winner 2. Sparty 3. NC loser 4-10 is a complete crapshoot. Winner of Orange Bowl, UCF, Boomer Sooner, Bama, South Carolina, Winner of Cotton Bowl, Stanford

Mirabeau Lamar [12:36 AM]:

@Uncle Wilson Isn’t Oklahoma pretty much Dixie? Auburn and FSU sure are.

Clay Wendler [12:36 AM]:

a sportscenter anchor just said holy schnikes

Ian Boyd [12:36 AM]:

OU loses their Center, FS, best corner, WR Saunders, the RB….that’s about it.

Uncle Wilson [12:35 AM]:

It’s now time to stop whistling Dixie! Go Sparty!

stevib [12:35 AM]:

Definitely the best trophy presentation I’ve ever heard. Coincidentally, it’s the only one I’ve heard not given by some drunk corporate who didn’t watch the game

Quigley [12:34 AM]:

@Quigley

Passive Voice [12:34 AM]:

Nice for the Sugar that they only needed to buy the one confetti colour

Mirabeau Lamar [12:34 AM]:

Wonder if they even had two kinds of confetti?

Jason Kirk [12:34 AM]:

Sean Gardner/Getty

Patrick Vint [12:34 AM]:

@Ian Boyd Agreed. If he hadn’t pissed everyone off in July, he would have gotten some support.

Quigley [12:33 AM]:

@Ian Boyd

Ian Boyd [12:33 AM]:

Stoops was an underrated COY candidate. Lost a ton of important players, revamped the D, juggled QB’s, won some big games

Patrick Vint [12:33 AM]:

Allstate guy > crazy Frito Lay lady

Uncle Wilson [12:33 AM]:

Lets see Auburn go out and play Stanford! Auburn would get killed!

Charlie Gebow [12:32 AM]:

Also: Saban lost a 5 star recruit to RichRod of all people. Not a great day

Jason Kirk [12:32 AM]:

ask stoops about conferences ask stoops about conferences ask stoops about conferences ask stoops about conferences ask stoops about conferences ask stoops about conferences ask stoops about conferences ask stoops about conferences ask stoops about conferences

Ian Boyd [12:32 AM]:

How long until Stoops starts trolling the SEC?

Oklahoma fans chant ‘OVERRATED’ at Alabama

by Jason Kirk, SBNation.com

The “OVERRATED” chant is the dumbest chant in all of sports. But it’s never sounded quite so amazing.

Charlie Gebow [12:31 AM]:

@Uncle Wilson They lost the Oregon-Oregon State game?

joshvc [12:30 AM]:

@Patrick Vint doh, slot Oklahoma at 5 or 6 and bump the rest down

Uncle Wilson [12:30 AM]:

They lost the Civil War and now they lost their BCS pals! The SEC SUCKS!

unxknownxorigin [12:30 AM]:

@Lesterh 7 more points than maryland managed… and tied Nevada and Florida

Lesterh [12:30 AM]:

You forgot about Oklahoma.

Patrick Vint [12:30 AM]:

@joshvc I think Oklahoma is going to be ahead of Alabama

joshvc [12:30 AM]:

@joshvc Clemson won’t get back to 4 if they win.

UnlikeLobster [12:30 AM]:

@jared.mcnutt.9 Bama is a 2-loss team now, so it’s definitely a possibility

joshvc [12:29 AM]:

So something like 1. NC Winner 2. MSU 3. NC Loser 4. OSU/Clemson Winner 5. South Carolina? 6. Bama 7. UCF 8. Orange Loser ??

Lesterh [12:29 AM]:

Duke was definitely underrated. They scored 7 on FSU.

Uncle Wilson [12:29 AM]:

The National Championship was yesterday! MSU

Brett Stover [12:29 AM]:

Final Standings: 1. Champ Winner 2. Michigan State 3. Champ Loser 4. Orange Bowl Winner 5. BORTLES 6. Cotton Bowl Winner

icorriher [12:29 AM]:

And the league isn’t as dominant as it’s been b/c the defenses aren’t what they’ve been (08 Florida, 11 Bama/LSU)

Ian Boyd [12:28 AM]:

@unxknownxorigin FSU disagrees

stevib [12:28 AM]:

@icorriher also, Iowa keeping LSU a LOT closer than anyone expected

unxknownxorigin [12:28 AM]:

@icorriher I think Duke was under rated based on their division

Uncle Wilson [12:28 AM]:

Southern Bias Exposure

Jason Kirk [12:28 AM]:

Oklahoma tops Alabama 45-31 in Sugar Bowl shocker

by Patrick Vint, SBNation.com

The Sooners, written off by nearly everyone against the mighty Crimson Tide, rode an all-time performance by Trevor Knight to an incredible Sugar Bowl win.

jared.mcnutt.9 [12:28 AM]:

Will UCF be ranked ahead of Bama???

Mirabeau Lamar [12:28 AM]:

@icorriher Duke!

Steely Glint [12:28 AM]:

The Auburn-Alabama game was absolutely amazing

icorriher [12:27 AM]:

SEC is still 5-2 but anybody who’s watched the games realizes they’ve been close (Wisky/SC, aTm/Duke, etc.)

Ian Boyd [12:27 AM]:

@Connor Tapp Fantastic league to watch this year, so many excellent games

Uncle Wilson [12:27 AM]:

Screw the SEC

Ian Boyd [12:27 AM]:

@Connor Tapp Gave up gobs of points all year, Bama was embarassed, I just mean in terms of national perception

Steely Glint [12:27 AM]:

Alabama drops to 15, I hope

Dimitri Dorlis [12:26 AM]:

So Alabama drops to 4, right?

Uncle Wilson [12:26 AM]:

Michigan State

unxknownxorigin [12:26 AM]:

@Ian Boyd They’ll get the respect back if Auburn has another miracle left

quzybuk [12:26 AM]:

Hey ESPN, let’s cut to AJ McCarron leaving the field. Brilliant!

Charlie Gebow [12:26 AM]:

MICHIGAN STATE NUMBER 2 IN THE NATION

Connor Tapp [12:26 AM]:

@Ian Boyd Was it?

joshvc [12:26 AM]:

@Brett Stover Oh, it’s going to be a 3 possession clunker.

Ian Boyd [12:26 AM]:

Tough year for the SEC, although they could still win all the respect back on Monday

Uncle Wilson [12:26 AM]:

Ha Ha Ha

Brett Stover [12:25 AM]:

Because of these games, THE BAR FOR THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP HAS BEEN SET TOO DAMN HIGH

Uncle Wilson [12:25 AM]:

Sec is over rated

joshvc [12:25 AM]:

@Brett Stover by the lines, UCF was bigger. Also an unloved AAC champ vs. high flying Big 12 champ

unxknownxorigin [12:25 AM]:

@Clay Wendler AP finally has somethign to cheer about

Connor Tapp [12:24 AM]:

@quzybuk Well, he was his defensive coordinator for a few years.

Clay Wendler [12:24 AM]:

Steely Glint [12:24 AM]:

Best bowl game so far

Brett Stover [12:24 AM]:

Is this or UCF/Baylor a bigger upset?

unxknownxorigin [12:24 AM]:

Unlike Belichick atleast Saban shakes hands

Ian Boyd [12:24 AM]:

If I know Stoops, he’s going to go tear into his least favorite reporters in the ensuing press conference

quzybuk [12:24 AM]:

Question: Is Bob Stoops a next gen Steve Spurrier?

Charlie Gebow [12:23 AM]:

Think he was trying to squib it, just hit the dude

LordoftheButtfumble [12:23 AM]:

I hope Bob gives Saban double middle fingers instead of a handshake.

Ian Boyd [12:23 AM]:

What a delightful game

Steely Glint [12:23 AM]:

INSULT TO INJURY!!!!

unxknownxorigin [12:23 AM]:

Bama sure knows how to Lose a game don’t they

Brett Stover [12:23 AM]:

Bob Stoops is 100% trolling right now

Mirabeau Lamar [12:23 AM]:

Oh, looks like a happy accident

angriestpanda [12:23 AM]:

Haha perfect way for the game to end

Ian Boyd [12:23 AM]:

Hahahahahahaha

jnads [12:23 AM]:

LOLOLOL ONSIDE KICK

Dimitri Dorlis [12:23 AM]:

Oh my god

quzybuk [12:23 AM]:

STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPS

Steely Glint [12:23 AM]:

Satan overthrown! Boomer Sooner!

quzybuk [12:23 AM]:

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Charlie Gebow [12:23 AM]:

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

PikesPeakUC [12:23 AM]:

TEH GAWD!

RobbSeminole [12:23 AM]:

@Steely Glint twice

Mirabeau Lamar [12:22 AM]:

Ballsy

Ian Boyd [12:22 AM]:

@quzybuk Yeah, he wasn’t masterful there but it wasn’t an INT into triple coverage…like earlier

unxknownxorigin [12:22 AM]:

Roll Tide?

jnads [12:22 AM]:

Aaand the overrated chant starts….

Charlie Gebow [12:22 AM]:

Overrated chant. Love it

Jason Kirk [12:22 AM]:

Can we hire Louis Nix? I know he’s about to have a full-time job and all…

Ian Boyd [12:22 AM]:

@Luke Zimmermann That kid is a fantastic tweeter

RobbSeminole [12:22 AM]:

@Clay Wendler ohno i have to give him pitysex tonight…

LordoftheButtfumble [12:22 AM]:

I hope Bob takes a giant shit on the field, puts it in a paper bag and mails it to the SEC’s headquarters.

Mike.Cranford [12:21 AM]:

So now it’s up to mizzou to even up the SEC – Big 12 matchups this season

Luke Zimmermann [12:21 AM]:

Steely Glint [12:21 AM]:

I don’t think he saw or heard it coming

bicklefischerkane [12:21 AM]:

Really want OU kids to dump cooler on Saban.

Connor Tapp [12:21 AM]:

ALL OF THE KNIGHTS / trevor knight, c. florida knights, phil knight, wayne night

quzybuk [12:20 AM]:

@Ian Boyd Not even sure if it’s him holding the ball a second too long or just not securing it when feeling the pressure.

Steely Glint [12:20 AM]:

First Auburn and now this! Awesome!

Steely Glint [12:20 AM]:

This is just sweet

Clay Wendler [12:20 AM]:

Ian Boyd [12:20 AM]:

@Mark Ennis That’s in my top 5 Case McCoy moments for the season

JHouse [12:20 AM]:

@Mark Ennis hahahaha

quzybuk [12:20 AM]:

@SydniLauren McCarron strip sacked returned for a TD.

Ian Boyd [12:20 AM]:

@quzybuk I guess he held the ball there a bit too long but his alleged 1st round OT got abused

Mark Ennis [12:19 AM]:

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SydniLauren [12:19 AM]:

what happened ?

Steely Glint [12:19 AM]:

Hah! Satan loses!

quzybuk [12:19 AM]:

@Ian Boyd OU’s defensive line has consistently beaten the Bama O-line, but McCarron has to know that the last thing he can do there is fumble.

Luke Zimmermann [12:19 AM]:

JHouse [12:18 AM]:

Obligatory:

Ian Boyd [12:18 AM]:

Not really McCarron’s fault, for the record

LordoftheButtfumble [12:18 AM]:

Cade Foster should be running for his life now.

JHouse [12:18 AM]:

Not “fat” fat, but you know what I mean

Ian Boyd [12:18 AM]:

Eric Striker cost Cyrus Kouandjio millions of dollars tonight

angriestpanda [12:17 AM]:

How in the world was that a Heisman finalist?

Dimitri Dorlis [12:17 AM]:

Seriously, why didn’t AJ win the Heisman?

SydniLauren [12:17 AM]:

2 loses in a row.. when has that happened before

Mark Ennis [12:17 AM]:

AJ ROMO

stevib [12:17 AM]:

@Ian Boyd No it could not

Ian Boyd [12:17 AM]:

Hahahahahahahahahaha

Brett Stover [12:17 AM]:

AJ MCCARRON’S HEISMAN MOMENT RIGHT THERE

quzybuk [12:17 AM]:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

angriestpanda [12:17 AM]:

Beautiful

JHouse [12:17 AM]:

FAT GUY TOUCDOWN TO BEAT BAMA!!!

jnads [12:17 AM]:

LOL

Charlie Gebow [12:17 AM]:

HEISMAN MOMENT!

PikesPeakUC [12:17 AM]:

Heisman moment!

Connor Tapp [12:17 AM]:

AHAHAHAHA

Ian Boyd [12:16 AM]:

Could this game end any other way?

Charlie Gebow [12:16 AM]:

Time for AJ to show his “Future Third String for the Denver Broncos” moment

Luke Zimmermann [12:16 AM]:

There’s still time for one more Heisman Moment.

Connor Tapp [12:16 AM]:

Can’t wait to see AJ Football screen his way down the field one last time!

jnads [12:16 AM]:

Bob Stoops is Jason Garretting this game.

Jason Kirk [12:15 AM]:

Simply have Derrick Henry field the punt.

Mark Ennis [12:15 AM]:

hahaha this live fire and rescue feed is AMAZING

quzybuk [12:15 AM]:

Big Game Bob! Big Game Bob!

Mirabeau Lamar [12:15 AM]:

Taking penalty

Matt Ufford [12:14 AM]:

PikesPeakUC [12:14 AM]:

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone run a play action where the QB fakes, jogs, then sits down.

Mirabeau Lamar [12:14 AM]:

I want this to end exactly like Auburn

quzybuk [12:14 AM]:

@SydniLauren 1:50, Bama out of timeouts, OU 3rd & 12 at around the Bama 40.

jared.mcnutt.9 [12:13 AM]:

Ian Boyd [12:13 AM]:

I for one cannot wait for McCarron to have a chance to lead Bama down the field to force OT

Mirabeau Lamar [12:13 AM]:

@Clefo No trees in Oklahoma.

JHouse [12:13 AM]:

What the hell is OU doing?

Mirabeau Lamar [12:12 AM]:

Suddenly playing not to lose. Always hate that.

Charlie Gebow [12:12 AM]:

I can only wonder what Harvey Updike is doing right now

SydniLauren [12:12 AM]:

where is OU field position … yall are hilarious btw

joshvc [12:11 AM]:

Bama really was watching Baylor

angriestpanda [12:11 AM]:

Curious as to what Sabans blood pressure is right now

Jason Kirk [12:11 AM]:

Nick, this is an exhibition game!

Ian Boyd [12:10 AM]:

Bama fans will be furious with the timing but good PI call

Mark Ennis [12:10 AM]:

That will eat at Saban for ever. DBs are his.

quzybuk [12:10 AM]:

Trevor Knight I love you.

Mirabeau Lamar [12:10 AM]:

Maybe Saban comes to UT now so he can stomp on Stoops at some future date. Also, good flag.

jared.mcnutt.9 [12:10 AM]:

Did Saban throw his headset?

stevib [12:10 AM]:

Oklahoma got the PI call late that Duke did not

Luke Zimmermann [12:10 AM]:

That’s not where your head set goes, Nick.

Jason Kirk [12:09 AM]:

@Ian Boyd I have never been more ready for anything.

JHouse [12:09 AM]:

This is one of those times to run a play that can get a first down, not a play that can keep the clock running.

quzybuk [12:09 AM]:

Stoops is officially playing not to lose. And given McCarron’s performance, can’t blame him.

Ian Boyd [12:08 AM]:

Anyone else can’t wait for Stoops to trash talk the SEC after this?

Mirabeau Lamar [12:08 AM]:

I didn’t believe the Saban-to-Texas rumors before, but now I do. Now there’s a guy who knows how to lose to OU in style.

joshvc [12:08 AM]:

@Clefo I don’t actually care about OU one way or the other, but that’s been one of my favorite narratives. Now what?

Patrick Vint [12:07 AM]:

I had no idea Louie Anderson was an Alabama fan

SydniLauren [12:07 AM]:

precitae it quzybuk

Mark Ennis [12:07 AM]:

@Clay Wendler THAT IS TREMENDOUS

Clay Wendler [12:07 AM]:

SydniLauren [12:06 AM]:

Cade was recruited as a LB tho so thats Saban fault

Charlie Gebow [12:06 AM]:

I don’t like this world where Bob Stoops is winning an important game late. I’m scared

Ian Boyd [12:06 AM]:

Brennan Clay is pretty underrated. Really smart Zone back. Finds/creates the creases

RobbSeminole [12:06 AM]:

@LordoftheButtfumble he tells jimbo pruitt needs to come back, it was just a loan…

quzybuk [12:06 AM]:

@SydniLauren 38-31 Oklahoma, 2:52 left, Oklahoma at midfield and driving.

Mark Ennis [12:06 AM]:

Jason Kirk [12:06 AM]:

Oklahoma’s most obvious weakness most of the year was its offensive playcalling. So of course it’s flawless (so far) late against Alabama.

Ian Boyd [12:05 AM]:

@LordoftheButtfumble Cade Foster, if he hasn’t already

SydniLauren [12:05 AM]:

time yall gotta update me shit

Connor Tapp [12:05 AM]:

If you had told me that Alabama would gain 526 yards in this game, I would have predicted that they’d win by 30.

LordoftheButtfumble [12:05 AM]:

So who does Saban execute after the game?

Ian Boyd [12:05 AM]:

Alabama’s D is starting to look worn out

Mirabeau Lamar [12:04 AM]:

@Charon2009 Maybe they could both lose.

Mark Ennis [12:04 AM]:

Just a killer drive for Oklahoma.

Mark Ennis [12:04 AM]:

From @redditcfb

Jason Kirk [12:04 AM]:

Feel like this game is setting the YAC record all around.

Mike.Cranford [12:04 AM]:

@Ian Boyd Best of both worlds?

quzybuk [12:03 AM]:

@Mark Ennis Closer to 450 if you count the INT returns.

Mark Ennis [12:03 AM]:

McCarron has 387 yards. 386.5 of which was after the catch.

Jason Kirk [12:03 AM]:

4 4:11
Oklahoma 38
Alabama 31

Ian Boyd [12:03 AM]:

Just used this game as ammo against an “SEC! SEC!” banner waving Aggie fan. OU is sure to lose now

Rodger Sherman [12:01 AM]:

Everything Oklahoma has done seems so incredibly improbable and seems to be working by the slightest sliver with no margin for error… but they’re doing it

quzybuk [12:01 AM]:

@Mark Ennis appropriate choice of animal is appropriate

JHouse [12:01 AM]:

Now that’s a playcall. Use the 3rd down aggression against them.

Rodger Sherman [12:01 AM]:

damn, what a pickup

Mirabeau Lamar [12:01 AM]:

What a mov

Mark Ennis [12:01 AM]:

I swear Alabama has had a fleet of bears that run 4.4 40s for at least 25 years.

Charlie Gebow [12:00 AM]:

RUN THE DANG BALL SOONER BOBO

Clay Wendler [12:00 AM]:

LeBron would do stuff like that if he was a football player.

Mike.Cranford [11:59 PM]:

@Lucas Jackson Because he’s a heisman finalist, so obviously he must be good

Mark Ennis [11:59 PM]:

Having to tackle Henry is a good argument for giving student athletes more money.

Ian Boyd [11:59 PM]:

@Jason Kirk potentially, so long as Henry doesn’t stomp the life out of it

Lucas Jackson [11:59 PM]:

@quzybuk How does AJ McCarron get credit for anything? He’s just there.

Connor Tapp [11:59 PM]:

Ay Derrick, what’s going on with that hairline, bruh?

Mirabeau Lamar [11:58 PM]:

Is Henry shaving his head into a queue?

Clay Wendler [11:58 PM]:

Jason Kirk [11:58 PM]:

Derrick Henry’s only 100-yard game coming into tonight was against Arkansas, of course.

Brett Stover [11:56 PM]:

(Saban considers putting Henry in as a Nick Marshall-style QB)

Jason Kirk [11:56 PM]:

Connor Tapp [11:55 PM]:

hahahaha that was a passing play

Brett Stover [11:55 PM]:

SCOREBOARD: Henry 31, Knight 38

RobbSeminole [11:55 PM]:

@Charon2009 sorry forgot #sarcasm

quzybuk [11:55 PM]:

How does AJ McCarron get any credit for that?

Clay Wendler [11:55 PM]:

wow that guy is smooth

Mike.Cranford [11:54 PM]:

@RobbSeminole to open up the passing game

JHouse [11:54 PM]:

Holy crap. How is Henry that fast?!

RobbSeminole [11:54 PM]:

oh thats why

Mike Stromberg [11:54 PM]:

WELP

RobbSeminole [11:54 PM]:

why are they running every play?

Matthew Kenerly [11:53 PM]:

Alabama Charter Plane Vanishes Mysteriously En Route to Tuscaloosa

Mirabeau Lamar [11:53 PM]:

Good, Bama, take some time off the clock

stevib [11:53 PM]:

That’s a Maxwell award quality hand-off there

Connor Tapp [11:53 PM]:

I don’t understand you, person who is proudly waving her AJ McCarron collage while ’Bama is down 14.

LordoftheButtfumble [11:52 PM]:

Cue Saban calling in a bomb threat to the Superdome.

aznole85 [11:52 PM]:

McCarron ’ s girlfriend is reportedly single as soon as this game is over.

Mike.Cranford [11:52 PM]:

Just realized, If OU wins this, the longhorns can’t claim the reason they lost the ’09 title game to ’Bama was because they had a freshman QB

Lucas Jackson [11:51 PM]:

The Dirt Knight Rises

aznole85 [11:51 PM]:

McCarron cashed in at Vegas by tanking after realizing an NFL paycheck was untouchable.

Jason Kirk [11:50 PM]:

So Oklahoma is gonna get the biggest WEST VIRGINIA EFFECT ever next season, huh?

JHouse [11:50 PM]:

“McCarron has rough Knight”

PikesPeakUC [11:50 PM]:

I can see the headline now. “McCarron caught in Stoops’ Webb.”

jared.mcnutt.9 [11:49 PM]:

Lucas Jackson [11:48 PM]:

BREAKING: Alabama QB A.J. McCarron to skip the Sugar Bowl

Ian Boyd [11:47 PM]:

@Mark Ennis I keep forgetting the stupid voters sent him to NY

Dimitri Dorlis [11:47 PM]:

McCarron is totally calling the Senior Bowl after this game

Jason Kirk [11:47 PM]:

Matthew Kenerly [11:46 PM]:

Can’t wait until McCarron is holding a clipboard in Buffalo or something

Lucas Jackson [11:46 PM]:

@Dr. Norris Camacho was there a live chat for the Chick Fil A Bowl? Glad I missed that.

Mark Ennis [11:45 PM]:

Lucas Jackson [11:45 PM]:

The Walter Camp Player of the Year! It’s a major award!

Mark Ennis [11:45 PM]:

quzybuk [11:45 PM]:

@lougagliardi Or the 2003 Florida Marlins, sure.

Emerszi [11:45 PM]:

the rare surrender half-cobra

aznole85 [11:45 PM]:

Does Bama even have a backup?

Ian Boyd [11:44 PM]:

If you put the game on McCarron’s shoulders, this is what you should expect.

JHouse [11:44 PM]:

Run the damn ball, Bama. You keep getting in 3rd and mediums where OU can just tee off.

Clay Wendler [11:44 PM]:

lougagliardi [11:44 PM]:

@quzybuk So Oklahoma is the Pittsburgh Pirates?

JonesyWham [11:44 PM]:

Such a fitting way for the BCS to go out! Crazy bowls

Connor Tapp [11:44 PM]:

Doo dit doo, doo doo doo dit doo / Oh what a Knight!

Ian Boyd [11:43 PM]:

3rd and 8: Derp time

Brett Stover [11:43 PM]:

Bama allowed 10 sacks all season, 6 so far tonight.

Rush Roberts [11:43 PM]:

Bizarre Bowls

PikesPeakUC [11:43 PM]:

McCarron, like a true game manager, doesn’t want to leave too much time on the clock.

Matthew Kenerly [11:43 PM]:

You could reappropriate The Knight Chronicles from M. Night Shymalan. he doesn’t deserve it anymore.

JonesyWham [11:42 PM]:

What leadership there from McCarron

Clay Wendler [11:42 PM]:

Patrick Vint [11:42 PM]:

Connor Tapp [11:41 PM]:

@JonesyWham Not playing for several games and not being this nearly this good early in the season.

Brett Stover [11:41 PM]:

Knight may go into 2014 as a Heisman candidate #hotsportstakes

Ian Boyd [11:40 PM]:

@KnightNation I actually like “The Round Table”

JonesyWham [11:40 PM]:

Seriously though..where was Knight in the Heisman conversation?

Ian Boyd [11:40 PM]:

@Alphaspade Are you an Alabama fan?

KnightNation [11:40 PM]:

I’m partial to: The Knight’s Watch, The Round Table…

Ian Boyd [11:40 PM]:

@Clay Wendler You read my mind, Clay

Will Futfau [11:40 PM]:

I worry what 2014 will look like for Bama

lougagliardi [11:39 PM]:

I want to study redundancy studying at the university of louisiana state university.

LordoftheButtfumble [11:39 PM]:

I got my teams mixed up.

icorriher [11:39 PM]:

Mirabeau Lamar [11:39 PM]:

@LordoftheButtfumble Exactly what I was just thinking re Texas.

Ian Boyd [11:39 PM]:

@Mark Ennis Gerg didn’t face an OU QB that could hit downfield throws like this

Connor Tapp [11:39 PM]:

My only beef with Knight’s performance is that if your name is Trevor, you should have to play in a cardigan.

Passive Voice [11:39 PM]:

I like how twice a decade we can all get together and watch an athletic quarterback and an aggressive defence take down Bama at the Sugar Bowl

Ian Boyd [11:39 PM]:

@LordoftheButtfumble They smashed Notre Dame

RobbSeminole [11:39 PM]:

@Lucas Jackson touche…i like that…unless Smart tries to go to TX

SydniLauren [11:39 PM]:

eventually he’ll probably win it

Mark Ennis [11:38 PM]:

Just wanted to drop this thought in here.

Ian Boyd [11:38 PM]:

This is what happens when UT fans root for OU. They win, and they win in a way that makes UT fans hate themselves for wishing well on them

Jason Kirk [11:38 PM]:

“Oh, what a Knight for Trevor!” You’ve earned that one, Brad.

LordoftheButtfumble [11:38 PM]:

So how did this team lose to Notre Dame and Texas again?

Brett Stover [11:38 PM]:

OU’s offense has chosen the perfect times to throw deep all game.

Mirabeau Lamar [11:37 PM]:

@Ian Boyd Knight of the Living Dead. Because it’s in Florida, see?

Ian Boyd [11:37 PM]:

I think we’ll see OU throw more and run Knight less in 2014

Matthew Kenerly [11:37 PM]:

Central Florida Central. Lock it in.

Ian Boyd [11:36 PM]:

Hmmmm

Mark Ennis [11:36 PM]:

How about that freaking throw? Wow. Knight drops it in there to convert a 3rd and 15.

quzybuk [11:36 PM]:

TREVOR KNIGHT YOU MAGNIFICENT B******

@SydniLauren Uncomfortable and too much.

Mark Ennis [11:35 PM]:

@Ian Boyd “HEY LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME” would be a good UCF blog name.

SydniLauren [11:35 PM]:

whats the score ppl ?

Ian Boyd [11:35 PM]:

I’m assuming my suggestion, “6 million bortles” was the selection, no?

RobbSeminole [11:35 PM]:

@Jason Kirk what took so long…stoops duh

Ian Boyd [11:34 PM]:

Did we ever settle on the best blog name for a UCF site?

Auburn comes out with this guy at QB, stomps FSU

Lucas Jackson [11:33 PM]:

@Jason Kirk Toby or not Toby? That is the question.

Ian Boyd [11:32 PM]:

This version of Trevor Knight would have been the best QB in the B12

Connor Tapp [11:32 PM]:

@Jason Kirk KILL IT WITH FIRE

Matthew Kenerly [11:32 PM]:

Hey, how is Jalen Saunders doing tonight?

Rodger Sherman [11:31 PM]:

Knights are unstoppable in BCS games.

Mark Ennis [11:31 PM]:

@Jason Kirk and Hillary Clinton, apparently.

quzybuk [11:31 PM]:

Knight actually could’ve led him better on that throw.

Jason Kirk [11:31 PM]:

Ian Boyd [11:30 PM]:

That was another ridiculous throw by Knight

Brett Stover [11:30 PM]:

Trevor Knight has been freed

Jason Kirk [11:30 PM]:

Trevor Knight with a mighty patient option.

lougagliardi [11:30 PM]:

STONE COLD! STONE COLD!..wrong sport JR. STONE COLD! By GAWD king, it’s a slobberknocker

quzybuk [11:29 PM]:

Actually, I take that back… solid play from AJ to avoid running into his own player and fumbling by taking the sack.

@Charon2009 This. You’re aiming for a certain viscosity rather than taste.

RobbSeminole [11:28 PM]:

@Rodger Sherman needed the sympathy-before-the-fourth-piece…if Bama wasnt losing(did I just say that?) they wouldnt have ran it…

Patrick Vint [11:27 PM]:

Derrick Henry’s touchdown run outgained the Oklahoma offense by five yards that quarter

@Mirabeau Lamar all of it

Off topic: making sweet tea right now (kids tired of my nonsweet kind). How much sugar per gallon of tea?

Jason Kirk [11:27 PM]:

Still impressive, no matter how many private schools he might have faced.

Ian Boyd [11:27 PM]:

@Rodger Sherman I’ve worked on a neuro-trauma floor, accidents like that which threaten brain damage are no joke

Jason Kirk [11:26 PM]:

Ian Boyd [11:26 PM]:

@Rodger Sherman Pretty good story, obviously a really bad accident

Mark Ennis [11:26 PM]:

It’s AJ time

RobbSeminole [11:25 PM]:

@Jason Kirk maybe mccaron is trying to be the new mayhem for allstate

rahale10 [11:25 PM]:

Bama is here to remind the world that it’s the 4th quarter

LordoftheButtfumble [11:25 PM]:

Is it just me or does the camera angle look a bit low, like cutting off the top 1/4 of the field?

Rodger Sherman [11:25 PM]:

quite frankly, i’m shocked that this is aj’s last college game and this is the first time they showed that story

Mirabeau Lamar [11:25 PM]:

I hope he wasn’t driving the jetski…he looked 6.

Lucas Jackson [11:24 PM]:

If he needed to learn to jet ski, why didn’t he go to Miami?

Connor Tapp [11:24 PM]:

@Mirabeau Lamar hey, it’s a step up from ‘omg look it’s his girlfriend’

RobbSeminole [11:24 PM]:

i like knights back story better

Jason Kirk [11:24 PM]:

A Mobile man without a head scar is not to be trusted.

quzybuk [11:24 PM]:

Tyler Bray thinks AJ McCarron needs to learn how to Jet-ski.

lougagliardi [11:24 PM]:

@Emerszi yeah? i was in an accident 21 years ago. Where’s my TV coverage?

RobbSeminole [11:23 PM]:

@Emerszi showed another time in life he got creamed and still showed fight

Mirabeau Lamar [11:23 PM]:

Screw this NBC olympics backstory crap.

Emerszi [11:23 PM]:

hey did you guys know AJ was in an accident 16 years ago?

Connor Tapp [11:23 PM]:

Oh wow. Is this something we already knew about McCarron?

@Mark Ennis As I’ve said before: it’s not fun to be in Stoops’ gameplanning crosshairs. One of the best in the business

Mark Ennis [11:20 PM]:

No denying Stoops and staff made the most of the month to prepare. Been a really solid gameplan.

Ian Boyd [11:18 PM]:

@Dr. Norris Camacho Started opposite Colvin all year. Really pretty solid, RS Freshman

Love the #goacc ref trolling McCarron. “See over there, there were no receivers over there.”

Ian Boyd [11:17 PM]:

Rush Roberts [11:17 PM]:

@Ian Boyd Who is this Sanchez guy?

quzybuk [11:17 PM]:

HEISMAN

Patrick Vint [11:17 PM]:

Get a stop here, make them kick the field goal, return it for a touchdown. Easy as pie.

Ian Boyd [11:17 PM]:

They were great at it before this game but today they’ve been awful

Ian Boyd [11:17 PM]:

Wait, are OU’s cornerbacks allowed to make open field tackles on screen passes?

Mirabeau Lamar [11:16 PM]:

Whao, a tackle.

Ian Boyd [11:16 PM]:

Vogler’s entire left leg seems to be encased in a cast

Patrick Vint [11:16 PM]:

Has a team with a seven-point lead ever looked more doomed than OU right now?

Ian Boyd [11:16 PM]:

Or actually, probably to help with pass protection

Ian Boyd [11:16 PM]:

Yeldon inserted to fumble the game away

If you’re gonna sell out to stop the run, you could at least, ya know, stop the run.

Jason Kirk [11:15 PM]:

Two more years of Derrick Henry after this.

Tower Me Orange [11:15 PM]:

That’s what I envisioned for this game…

Will Futfau [11:14 PM]:

Derrick Henry is unleashing his inner Trent Richardson

Lucas Jackson [11:14 PM]:

@Rodger Sherman I tried this, and all I got was Dennis Rodman Artest.

Yeah, Bama don’t need Yeldon.

Dimitri Dorlis [11:13 PM]:

@Connor Tapp We’ll still wake up and realize Oklahoma actually did score 31 on Alabama, though.

Ian Boyd [11:12 PM]:

Was that A’Shawn Robinson who had his man 3 yards in the backfield on that 2nd down run?

Connor Tapp [11:12 PM]:

Here. We go. Just one ‘Bama touchdown drive from Oklahoma’s 31-17 advantage seeming like a weird dream we all had after drinking too much orange juice before bed.

Ian Boyd [11:11 PM]:

The OU OL was blowing Bama off the ball in the first half. Not so much now

Lucas Jackson [11:11 PM]:

Meanwhile: if Ced Ogbuehi leaves, Texas A&M could have four early departures drafted in the first round.

quzybuk [11:11 PM]:

Well, at least it was fun for a half.

JHouse [11:11 PM]:

Did OU know they had another half to play…

Rodger Sherman [11:11 PM]:

@Lucas Jackson cloning Paul Millsap would be a great strategy actually

Ian Boyd [11:11 PM]:

The Alabama lines came to play in the 2nd half

Mike Stromberg [11:10 PM]:

So Alabama is gonna win this game by three touchdowns, huh?

Jason Kirk [11:10 PM]:

THAT’s the school passing record?

Connor Tapp [11:09 PM]:

@Rodger Sherman I frequently wonder how neat it must be for ’Bama fans to not have to fret at all over people leaving early for the draft.

stevib [11:09 PM]:

Nick Saban should start hiring Faulkner head coach Brent Barker (whose biggest athletic accomplishment is playing second base at TCU while forgoing his football career), for consulting

JohnnyGentle [11:09 PM]:

@Rodger Sherman “Best I can do is neither” -A certain Florida coach

Rodger Sherman [11:08 PM]:

Schools should only be allowed to have either great offensive lines or great running backs.

Ian Boyd [11:07 PM]:

@Clay Wendler Or the Center, really, as they noted on TV

Jason Kirk [11:07 PM]:

Not much has been made of Alabama starting a backup at left guard. Missing an All-SEC starter.

Will Futfau [11:07 PM]:

Our center is Ryan Lindsay apparently

Lucas Jackson [11:07 PM]:

Best I found so far is Div III Millsaps > Alabama

Three straight punts. Football is alive and well.

Mike.Cranford [10:55 PM]:

@quzybuk So when do Michael Jordan and Bill Murray come in to save the day?

quzybuk [10:54 PM]:

I feel like Alabama is the subject of some Monstars-style power swap or something.

Ian Boyd [10:53 PM]:

@Tower Me Orange Vogler isn’t playing…small part of the surprising result. Also, OU’s D is really young. Getting better, I guess

Tower Me Orange [10:53 PM]:

OU run defense ranked in 60s per Football Outsiders, Bama run offense top 10…

LordoftheButtfumble [10:52 PM]:

When does Saban cut the power in the stadium a la the Super Bowl?

quzybuk [10:52 PM]:

@Tower Me Orange His quest to piss off all 120+ fanbases was stagnating once he got fired from USC.

Now this is more like football.

Ian Boyd [10:51 PM]:

@Lucas Jackson hahaha

Tower Me Orange [10:51 PM]:

Curious if Kiffin’s consult led to any of this?

Brett Stover [10:40 PM]:

The first time I saw a farmersonly.com commercial I thought it was a parody.

Hey, what’s going on? ESPN’s pregame show only talked about Alabama. Are they losing to themselves?!

Luke Zimmermann [10:30 PM]:

And now for some totally made up shit:

I admittedly enjoy seeing a Saban defense falling apart but am now concerned re: OU. They keep this up and we may go another 4 years w/o beating them.

@Ian Boyd because they hate the SEC narrative. It helps A&M

joshvc [10:25 PM]:

@Connor Tapp If you say so. And it won’t hold up if OU pulls away.

wwmcclyde [10:24 PM]:

I wonder how far Gary Danielson would have made it? My money is on a Code Blue after the first McCarron interception, with 15 seconds of CPR from Uncle Verne finishing him off.

Ian Boyd [10:24 PM]:

@Lucas Jackson Why is Texas rooting for OU?

quzybuk [10:24 PM]:

@Luke Zimmermann recrecrec

Will Futfau [10:24 PM]:

Watch Nick Saban take a page out of Muschamp’s book and go for the onside to start the 2nd half

Lucas Jackson [10:24 PM]:

@charon2009 yes, very much. Just knowing Texas is rooting for OU.

Connor Tapp [10:24 PM]:

It just hit me that this game has been way more fun than UCF/Baylor was. Let that sink in.

Luke Zimmermann [10:24 PM]:

Thanks, Reddit:

Pariahwulfen [10:24 PM]:

@Charon2009 yes you can, and after refreshing my page, yes they can green

quzybuk [10:23 PM]:

@Charon2009 Oh, I rec-ed it.

Mike.Cranford [10:23 PM]:

@Lucas Jackson Enjoying the show?

Tower Me Orange [10:23 PM]:

Spread w/ mobile QB is Saban kryptonite.

Lucas Jackson [10:23 PM]:

jared.mcnutt.9 [10:23 PM]:

Cade Foster needs to contact Robert Forster and relocate to a Cinnabon in Nebraska

Ian Boyd [10:23 PM]:

Lou Holtz has crossed the line from mildly incoherent to impossible to follow

Ajones931 [10:23 PM]:

@Jason Kirk That makes ALOT of sense.

Mike.Cranford [10:23 PM]:

@quzybuk it is possible to rec comments, I wonder if it’s possible to green them

Rush Roberts [10:22 PM]:

When is the next Finebaum show?

Brett Stover [10:22 PM]:

632 TOTAL FIRST HALF YARDS

Mike.Cranford [10:22 PM]:

who knew Big 12 Defenses were made of stauncher stuff than ’Bama

Ian Boyd [10:22 PM]:

@quzybuk me as well

wwmcclyde [10:22 PM]:

@angriestpanda The FBI’s Birmingham field office would do well to monitor the wetland bogs on the banks of the Sipsey River.

JohnnyGentle [10:21 PM]:

ALABAMA ON PACE TO GIVE UP 62 RETURN TO YOUR DOOMSDAY SHELTERS THE END TIMES ARE NEAR

quzybuk [10:21 PM]:

@Jason Kirk I wish I could make this green.

Pariahwulfen [10:21 PM]:

@BabyGolic yes

Jason Kirk [10:20 PM]:

Brett Stover [10:20 PM]:

Cade misses a field goal drink

BabyGolic [10:20 PM]:

Did I get a bottle of pinot noir laced with something or did that first half actually happen?

Will Futfau [10:20 PM]:

And I didn’t imagine this could actually be worse than Utah.

Ian Boyd [10:20 PM]:

@Connor Tapp Yes, noted. Then steps over the dead body and wipes foam off his sleeve before conferring with the LB’s

cynomyso [10:20 PM]:

Going to be a lot of “accidentally fell down the stairs” at halftime

angriestpanda [10:19 PM]:

@ Ian Boyd He just walks out silently. Very Gus Fring.

Mike.Cranford [10:19 PM]:

@Dr. Norris Camacho makes it even worse, Saban has nothing dissuading him from making an example of an american place kicker

Connor Tapp [10:19 PM]:

@Ian Boyd while explaining.

RobbSeminole [10:19 PM]:

@Jason Kirk SO true

Will Futfau [10:19 PM]:

Cade Foster be like “I idolized David Akers in High School”

RobbSeminole [10:18 PM]:

@Chris Haines #nosympathyafteryearsofwideleft/right

Jason Kirk [10:18 PM]:

Y’ALL THINK BAMA’S LOSIN CAUSE SABAN SPENT CHRISTMAS SPYIN’ ON GUS, IF SO, WORTH IT IN MY BOOK

Ian Boyd [10:18 PM]:

I’m imagining Saban quietly smother Foster to death in the locker room before calmly explaining an OU blitz on a chalkboard to his OL

Chris Haines [10:18 PM]:

I’m not sure I’ve ever felt as bad for an athlete as I feel for Cade Foster.

Brett Stover [10:18 PM]:

As a Mizzou fan I seriously feel for Cade Foster.

Rush Roberts [10:17 PM]:

@Charon2009 All punters are Australian. The kicker is just named after Australian beer.

jared.mcnutt.9 [10:17 PM]:

Will David Pollack once again troll Cade Foster?

LordoftheButtfumble [10:17 PM]:

News Flash: “Being Cade Foster” declared felony crime by Alabama Legislature.

Will Futfau [10:17 PM]:

I’m really hoping Cade has state troopers nearby

joshvc [10:17 PM]:

YOU CAN’T BEAT SABAN WITH 3 WEEKS TO PREPARE PAWWWL

quzybuk [10:17 PM]:

STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPS

Rush Roberts [10:17 PM]:

oh dear, Cade Foster

Connor Tapp [10:17 PM]:

Oh man. Hang in there, Cade.

Mike.Cranford [10:16 PM]:

Will Saban start an international incident by killing his Australian kicker on national television?

JohnnyGentle [10:16 PM]:

I imagine there’s a white-hot rage radiating from Saban right now that’s so pure and radiant that any insect life within 5 feet shrivels on contact.

Jason Kirk [10:16 PM]:

Brett Stover [10:16 PM]:

#COLLEGEKICKERS

quzybuk [10:16 PM]:

Well then.

RobbSeminole [10:16 PM]:

that kicker is fired

Luke Zimmermann [10:16 PM]:

Cade Foster is gonna get so many death threats on Twitter

Mirabeau Lamar [10:16 PM]:

Guess W will have to write another letter.

RobbSeminole [10:16 PM]:

@Luke Zimmermann thats what i got

quzybuk [10:15 PM]:

@Luke Zimmermann ball don’t lie

Brett Stover [10:15 PM]:

Luke Zimmermann [10:15 PM]:

We’ll just call the helmet no-call a make up for the Superman/“throat slash”

JHouse [10:14 PM]:

@quzybuk I gues we’ll see after some halftime adjustments

Jason Kirk [10:14 PM]:

Mirabeau Lamar [10:13 PM]:

@cynomyso Heh

quzybuk [10:12 PM]:

So… legit question here: is Saban getting outcoached by a pair of Stoopses?

Connor Tapp [10:12 PM]:

UCF Knights? Trevor Knight? amiknight?

Jason Kirk [10:12 PM]:

STOOPS EM MUP MUP MUP

stevib [10:12 PM]:

@jared.mcnutt.9 so did Lynch!

RobbSeminole [10:12 PM]:

@Mirabeau Lamar whatever it was it happened to her twice, like dejavu

cynomyso [10:11 PM]:

@Mirabeau Lamar Wendy’s dollar menu

RobbSeminole [10:11 PM]:

as witnessed between DUke being ahead of TAMU, I’m not worried about spotting a couple before halftime. Saban is a closer…having said that OU needs to win to help break SECisGAWD mentality

Mirabeau Lamar [10:11 PM]:

What’s the other girl so happy about?

stevib [10:11 PM]:

@Ian Boyd Does that include interception returns?

Ian Boyd [10:10 PM]:

McCarron’s averaging 15 yards per pass attempt

Luke Zimmermann [10:10 PM]:

Connor Tapp [10:10 PM]:

Hey, look at that! Even when he’s not having his best game, AJ McCarron still sets career highs.

Mark Ennis [10:10 PM]:

PikesPeakUC [10:10 PM]:

Good News: A.J. McCarron works the Manning QB Camp. Bad News: Studies under Eli instead of Peyton.

Brett Stover [10:09 PM]:

I would pay lots of money to watch Saban’s halftime speech. Lots.

Ian Boyd [10:09 PM]:

Oracle Gif me Bama fan in sombrero

Jason Kirk [10:09 PM]:

@JohnnyGentle laughed so hard at that my face hurt

Ian Boyd [10:08 PM]:

To quote Kapsten Socrates: “College sports are awesome because the players suck” You just never know

Pariahwulfen [10:08 PM]:

what’s the O/U on Bama players to survive halftime?

Jason Kirk [10:08 PM]:

This sport is amazing, because nothing ever works right.

angriestpanda [10:08 PM]:

Imagine the dark, dark place Sabans mind is in right now.

JHouse [10:08 PM]:

Mirabeau Lamar [10:08 PM]:

jared.mcnutt.9 [10:06 PM]:

AJ McCarron got more Heisman votes than Johnny Football facepalm

Mike.Cranford [10:06 PM]:

Does AJ disappear after this game? If not, why not?

Mark Ennis [10:06 PM]:

Oklahoma fans don’t even believe it.

Brett Stover [10:06 PM]:

3 Bama turnovers, 3 Oklahoma touchdowns

Luke Zimmermann [10:06 PM]:

OU starts the 3rd quarter with the ball.

quzybuk [10:06 PM]:

So who had Oklahoma putting up a 30-spot in the first half?

JohnnyGentle [10:06 PM]:

AJ realized that the defense was getting stiff on the sidelines, so he decided to give them another chance to see the field before the break. LEADERSHIP

Ian Boyd [10:05 PM]:

One thing that the Stoops brothers are excellent at: Game planning blitzes to lure QB’s into hot reads that defenders are unexpectedly sitting on

JHouse [10:05 PM]:

AJ doesn’t need that Senior Bowl, does he?

Tower Me Orange [10:05 PM]:

Hey Ian, looks like your twitter analysis of AJ was right on.

Brett Stover [10:05 PM]:

That’s some impressive decision-making, McCarron.

JohnnyGentle [10:05 PM]:

AJ WITH THE MANNINGFACE

Mike.Cranford [10:05 PM]:

Excellent game management skills by McCarron

Ian Boyd [10:05 PM]:

Great job by #9 to run down Sanchez

Mirabeau Lamar [10:05 PM]:

@Tower Me Orange I can’t believe we beat OU.

Brett Stover [10:05 PM]:

Kevin Norwood made that exact catch in the GW drive against LSU in 2012

Tower Me Orange [10:04 PM]:

What’s up y’all, can’t believe this!!!

Spencer Hall [10:04 PM]:

“A beautiful throw by AJ,” he says, not noting Dennis Norwood catching a pass FALLING SIDEWAYS AND A FOOT OFF THE GROUND

RobbSeminole [10:04 PM]:

smooth criminal lean was tight

Luke Zimmermann [10:04 PM]:

That’s an NFL catch, folks:

Ian Boyd [10:04 PM]:

@JohnnyGentle Yeah, especially to evade 85 in the pocket

JohnnyGentle [10:03 PM]:

That’s…actually a pretty impressive play from AJ?

Mark Ennis [10:02 PM]:

Yeah Clay Travis made my joke like a half hour after me.

Ian Boyd [10:01 PM]:

@Jason Kirk We’ve already moved on, don’t trust that little fraud

Jason Kirk [10:00 PM]:

Luke Zimmermann [9:59 PM]:

Fixed our big Sugar Bowl preview, y’all:

quzybuk [9:59 PM]:

@joshvc It shouldn’t. Hopefully they judge teams based on the season in question without regard to prior seasons.

RobbSeminole [9:59 PM]:

wow finebaum said that? #OMG

LordoftheButtfumble [9:59 PM]:

What Holly failed to mention was the drinking binge Knight did with Rob Ryan after meeting Brees.

Jason Kirk [9:59 PM]:

I like the idea of Texas fans no longer wanting Saban because he can’t beat Oklahoma.

Mirabeau Lamar [9:59 PM]:

@Pariahwulfen Yeah, I guess. And they’re all from Texas, so there’s that.

Mark Ennis [9:59 PM]:

joshvc [9:58 PM]:

Not that I expect the committee to pay this much attention, but if Oklahoma wins this, does it reduce the chance of putting 2 conference teams in the playoff?

Ian Boyd [9:58 PM]:

Mack Brown offerred Trevor Knight as a safety

Mark Ennis [9:58 PM]:

I like to think that TD pass was God’s reward for Stoops playing to win and going for it on 4th down.

Pariahwulfen [9:57 PM]:

@Mirabeau Lamar They’re the lesser of two evils here

Ian Boyd [9:57 PM]:

Ahhhh, at last. With my luck I half-expected an INT there

angriestpanda [9:57 PM]:

Knight ate his Wheeties today

Mirabeau Lamar [9:57 PM]:

I can’t believe I’m kind of rooting for the Sooners.

Jason Kirk [9:56 PM]:

UCF Knights … Trevor Knight … YOU BE THE JUDGE.

Brett Stover [9:56 PM]:

Knight vs Bortles

Luke Zimmermann [9:55 PM]:

Spencer Hall [9:55 PM]:

JohnnyGentle [9:55 PM]:

Will Futfau [9:55 PM]:

Ian Boyd [9:55 PM]:

Trevor Knight has been really good tonight

jared.mcnutt.9 [9:54 PM]:

Big Game Bob

Ian Boyd [9:53 PM]:

And that’s exactly what they did

Luke Zimmermann [9:53 PM]:

I mean, it’s not like OU was playing Michigan State or anything.

quzybuk [9:53 PM]:

Not sure you need a fake punt given Bama’s defensive system: you can generally get 1 or 2 yards from a usual set, the problem is getting more than that.

Mirabeau Lamar [9:53 PM]:

Hm. Good call.

Ian Boyd [9:53 PM]:

I’d line up and run behind their big fullback with the polish name

JHouse [9:52 PM]:

Ah, that’s why.

JHouse [9:52 PM]:

If they’re gonna punt this, why not take a delay of game and give more room.

Ian Boyd [9:51 PM]:

fake punt?

Mark Ennis [9:51 PM]:

UCF had an offensive lineman force a fumble against USF, too.

Luke Zimmermann [9:51 PM]:

@Jason Kirk “Five years later, you will be invited back to hit a pinata at a local bar”

Ian Boyd [9:41 PM]:

Ian Boyd [9:38 PM]:

@Mirabeau Lamar indeed

Mirabeau Lamar [9:38 PM]:

OU should concentrate on tackling.

Ian Boyd [9:37 PM]:

@Jason Kirk The Cleveland Browns aren’t terribly pleased with that sales pitch

Luke Zimmermann [9:37 PM]:

Former Arizona head coach Mike Stoops is pretty fired up that the ’Cats landed Jalen Tabor today!

Patrick Vint [9:37 PM]:

@Mark Ennis Jerry Falwell > Nick Saban

Jason Kirk [9:36 PM]:

Alabama running back seems like the easiest job in college football. It’s kind of designed that way, actually, since they sell five-star running backs on the fact they’ll stay healthy for the NFL.

Mark Ennis [9:36 PM]:

Rush Roberts [9:36 PM]:

@Jason Kirk Jason White, man.

Ian Boyd [9:35 PM]:

Warmack, Kelly, Shepherd, Steen. All 3 star guys

Mike.Cranford [9:26 PM]:

Is Foster trying to get back into Saban’s good graces by tackling the return man himself?

@Mark Ennis He’s not the only one.

Brett Stover [9:26 PM]:

Cade Foster with those mad tackling skills.

Ian Boyd [9:24 PM]:

@runthedive Why is the dad chasing the kid again? is that his own kid, or was the kid with his daughter?

Peter Berkes [9:24 PM]:

I still have no idea what to make of a Taco Bell commercial set to a Portugal. The Man song.

Patrick Vint [9:23 PM]:

The Nissan commercial is so annoying that I gladly accept the Chevy Silverado ad

Peter Berkes [9:23 PM]:

Bama’s offense isn’t giving the defense much time to rest. Not team players.

@Ian Boyd Is dubstep that annoying synthesized screeching music that sounds like fingernails on a chalkboard? If so, then yes.

Ian Boyd [9:22 PM]:

Will Futfau [9:22 PM]:

@Ian Boyd That’s probably why

Jason Kirk [9:21 PM]:

OU’s deep secondary alignments are interesting. We’re afraid of McCarron’s arm?

LordoftheButtfumble [9:12 PM]:

Nissan commercial coming up in 60 seconds, guys.

Nole at Heart [9:12 PM]:

And they say Bama’s D is better than the Noles.

Brett Stover [9:12 PM]:

Exactly how we all thought this game was going to go.

Jason Kirk [9:12 PM]:

No-question touchdown.

RobbSeminole [9:12 PM]:

nope

Think that ref was as surprised as we were.

Ian Boyd [9:11 PM]:

Oh man

Luke Zimmermann [9:11 PM]:

Looked a lot better on replay.

Pariahwulfen [9:11 PM]:

How long till Saban goes nuclear if this stands?

Will Futfau [9:11 PM]:

Clinton Haha-Dix

angriestpanda [9:11 PM]:

Saban gonna have to cut somebody isnt he?

GradyWilson [9:11 PM]:

That was an odd TD signal, ref.

Mike.Cranford [9:11 PM]:

How did he have control of the ball?

Luke Zimmermann [9:11 PM]:

That going to be a touchback or nah

JohnnyGentle [9:11 PM]:

THAT TD SIGNAL FOR SUGAR BOWL MVP

Ian Boyd [9:11 PM]:

@Jason Kirk Hard though cause they tackle so well. I’d still guess very few

RobbSeminole [9:11 PM]:

*review

Will Futfau [9:11 PM]:

jeez

RobbSeminole [9:11 PM]:

under revoew

Jason Kirk [9:11 PM]:

Actually, probably more than other elite defenses, considering they don’t play all that aggressively.

Jason Kirk [9:10 PM]:

Wonder how many 13ish-play drives Alabama’s given up this year. Bet not many!

Ian Boyd [9:10 PM]:

If Saban blows this we don’t want him as the next Texas HC. He’s disqualified from my tournament

Jason Kirk [9:09 PM]:

That whole play was kind of beautiful.

RobbSeminole [9:09 PM]:

Heupel is still on the sidelines, so a former QB will always mold a youngin in his past image…actually something Stoops did good besides putting his brother on the staff too

Ian Boyd [9:09 PM]:

@Pariahwulfen I have a theory that all of OU’s QBs were secretly injured and thus they had to scrap the QB run game

TexansWin2013 [9:08 PM]:

Uh

JohnnyGentle [9:07 PM]:

TREVOR KNIGHT ATTEMPTING ORBITAL VELOCITY

Pariahwulfen [9:07 PM]:

@Ian Boyd Somebody got paid?

Luke Zimmermann [9:07 PM]:

Alabama’s defense watched last night’s Fiesta Bowl and thought to themselves, “Yeah, we could do that.”

Jason Kirk [9:07 PM]:

Alabama defending the option like it has a lot in recent years.

Brett Stover [9:07 PM]:

Knight’s only incompletion is the interception.

Ian Boyd [9:06 PM]:

How did Texas beat Oklahoma? We’ll be asking that for decades

Ian Boyd [9:05 PM]:

OU is running downhill on Bama with pulling OL

GradyWilson [9:05 PM]:

I’m curious to see if bama leads the nation in YAC defense. They smother.

Mark Ennis [9:05 PM]:

One year ago right now I was sitting in the radio studio pounding my desk as Louisville picked off Driskel’s first pass for a TD.

RobbSeminole [9:04 PM]:

@Ian Boyd as long as they keep Rowe out of my screen as much as possible

JohnnyGentle [9:04 PM]:

A little worried for Saunders’ safety every time he catches a ball tonight.

Ian Boyd [9:04 PM]:

I’m reasonably sure that the booth gets marching orders in exchange for access

Ian Boyd [9:03 PM]:

The announcers have been paid to send McCarron out with priase

Connor Tapp [9:03 PM]:

@Dr. Norris Camacho Be careful, if you type his name three times, he’s bound by an ancient spell to join this chat.

joshvc [9:03 PM]:

Nissan’s twitter mentions are impressive.

Jason Kirk [9:03 PM]:

Compelling theory

RobbSeminole [9:02 PM]:

nessler just chuckled…lol

RobbSeminole [9:02 PM]:

so they make frankenstein a movie and put dracula and sleepy hollow on television…smh

Rush Roberts [9:02 PM]:

How long before Darren Rovell analyzes the profitability of the Nissan commercial?

Ian Boyd [9:02 PM]:

@Dr. Norris Camacho Bama is in the business of preparing kids for the NFL

GradyWilson [9:01 PM]:

Gramps should’ve been packin’.

Mark Ennis [9:01 PM]:

You know all of this hate means Michael Felder loves the Nissan commercials now.

Rush Roberts [9:01 PM]:

That was an NFL-caliber hold right there on the field goal by #10.

RobbSeminole [9:01 PM]:

@Brett Stover good its better that way bro

Brett Stover [9:00 PM]:

Nissan realizes everyone hates the commercial at this point I believe.

cynomyso [9:00 PM]:

Nissan’s trolling us

Jason Kirk [9:00 PM]:

This damn thing won’t quit.

Meanwhile, in Miami:

Patrick Vint [8:59 PM]:

Does Oklahoma have someone deep?

Brett Stover [8:59 PM]:

@Robb_Seminole I can tell. I’m a Mizzou fan so I’m not in too deep to the SEC brainwashing yet.

Ian Boyd [8:58 PM]:

Alabama FG attempt, hold on to your butts

Ian Boyd [8:58 PM]:

@JohnnyGentle No one will be spared

JohnnyGentle [8:58 PM]:

RobbSeminole [8:58 PM]:

@Brett Stover #sarcasm

RobbSeminole [8:57 PM]:

@Brett Stover sure A) youre on ESECPN 2) Heisman Hopeful and 3) this is his pre-combine resume

Ian Boyd [8:57 PM]:

OU defensive front playing better than I expected, I like their chances if McCarron keeps throwing

cynomyso [8:56 PM]:

Yep. A real defensive showcase.

Brett Stover [8:56 PM]:

OMG MCCARRON IS PERFECT -all the announcers tonight

Ian Boyd [8:56 PM]:

Aaron Colvin came a long way with great speed to make that tackle. In other news, #15 is having a hard day

JohnnyGentle [8:56 PM]:

Well. Ok.

Pariahwulfen [8:55 PM]:

@Jason_Kirk does it involve Aunt Stabby?

Jason Kirk [8:54 PM]:

“BCS SPIDERCAM” oh god that is the worst vine do not click on it

Patrick Vint [8:54 PM]:

@Dr. Norris Camacho I don’t think it is, but it’s close enough to make me think twice.

Rush Roberts [8:53 PM]:

@Patrick Vint Isn’t that Winona from “Justified”?

Mark Ennis [8:53 PM]:

The one consistent message of the bowl season

Patrick Vint [8:52 PM]:

Nissan lady probably dinged up her suspension with that jump onto the train.

Luke Zimmermann [8:52 PM]:

The Nissan Rogue is worth one point in Canada.

@Ian Boyd I really can’t tell if that makes it more or less awesome.

Luke Zimmermann [8:50 PM]:

Mike.Cranford [8:50 PM]:

Will McCarron mysteriously disappear between now and the draft, with that sequence of events?

Ian Boyd [8:50 PM]:

@Jason Kirk agreed

Patrick Vint [8:50 PM]:

Nevermind, that’s a TD.

Ian Boyd [8:50 PM]:

@Connor Tapp They call him Scooba

Jason Kirk [8:49 PM]:

That’s too impossibly close to overturn. Count it!

Connor Tapp [8:49 PM]:

Lacoltan Bester is my favorite wide receiver in the country because his name is Lacoltan Bester

Ian Boyd [8:49 PM]:

I said on Twitter today, if the OU front is too quick for Bama’s OL…and Knight learns to pass…this could be interesting

Patrick Vint [8:49 PM]:

Looked like he stepped out early, so we’re going to get to hear Boomer Sooner again soon

Ian Boyd [8:49 PM]:

Oh boy

Pariahwulfen [8:49 PM]:

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a game

JohnnyGentle [8:49 PM]:

Hey, maybe we have a game after all

RobbSeminole [8:48 PM]:

TD wow

Ian Boyd [8:48 PM]:

Throw into triple coverage? There was no safe place to put that bal

Brett Stover [8:48 PM]:

AJ McCarron showed serious leadership with that throw.

Patrick Vint [8:48 PM]:

He’s a true gunslinger.

Mark Ennis [8:48 PM]:

angriestpanda [8:48 PM]:

Interesting way to manage the game AJ

GradyWilson [8:48 PM]:

that’s not good game managing, AJ.

Jason Kirk [8:48 PM]:

Heisman moment?

Ian Boyd [8:48 PM]:

Just manage the game AJ

RobbSeminole [8:48 PM]:

what I wonder is had we had Bama on the 6th and Auburn was playing tonight, would it be a mirror we’re seeing…

Luke Zimmermann [8:47 PM]:

Lead by example. A.J. was just showing Trevor Knight how it’s done.

JohnnyGentle [8:47 PM]:

BUT THE LEADERSHIP ON THE PICK, THO

Patrick Vint [8:47 PM]:

Lack of leadership there.

Mike.Cranford [8:47 PM]:

Nor is he going to be happy about that throw

Pariahwulfen [8:47 PM]:

Oh my

Will Futfau [8:47 PM]:

dammit

Mike.Cranford [8:47 PM]:

One more Bama TD drive and we can start calling this game The Desolation of Smaug.

cynomyso [8:46 PM]:

I get excited every time the commercial isn’t for Nissan, Capital One or Allstate

Brett Stover [8:45 PM]:

Nissan #4 I think

Ian Boyd [8:45 PM]:

Wow. That wasn’t a bad throw at all, receiver waiting for the hit?

Jason Kirk [8:45 PM]:

Horrible break for Oklahoma. Jalen Saunders has made catches like that many times. Bama goes for a long drive this time?

Luke Zimmermann [8:44 PM]:

Appropriate as today Landon Collin’s half brother, Gerald Willis III, provided his mom another televised commitment ceremony.

Mike.Cranford [8:44 PM]:

but maybe longer than expected

Mike.Cranford [8:44 PM]:

That didn’t take too long

RobbSeminole [8:44 PM]:

its like an uphill battle against fuji

JohnnyGentle [8:44 PM]:

Awww, that looked fun for a moment.

Brett Stover [8:44 PM]:

Whelp.

Jason Kirk [8:43 PM]:

*excruciating

Jason Kirk [8:43 PM]:

Oklahoma converts a third down. That’s good. It looked excrutiating.

RobbSeminole [8:43 PM]:

@Mark Ennis scary if they don’t

Ian Boyd [8:43 PM]:

For Oklahoma this is basically a game for all their young players to use as a measuring stick in preparing for 2014

Ian Boyd [8:42 PM]:

@Mark Ennis Might as well.

Mark Ennis [8:41 PM]:

Gotta wonder if Oklahoma doesn’t just try to mimic Auburn some.

Ian Boyd [8:41 PM]:

I guess Alabama just likes pummeling people

Connor Tapp [8:41 PM]:

@Ian Boyd No.

Jason Kirk [8:41 PM]:

Trevor Knight starting for OU, as CCM said would be the wise move.

Mark Ennis [8:40 PM]:

@Ian Boyd No. Not at all.

Ian Boyd [8:40 PM]:

Any chance Bama is awarded AP title with an ugly FSU win?

Ian Boyd [8:40 PM]:

Alabama may be out to make a statement tonight. What statement that is, I’m not sure

Jason Kirk [8:40 PM]:

CALL THE DAMN MATCH

Ian Boyd [8:39 PM]:

They’re going to show that Kick-6 as many times as possible to spread the misery around

Passive Voice [8:39 PM]:

I continue to hold out hope that after it hits 14-0 the lights will go off and Oregon’s music will start playing

ruttlenjames [8:39 PM]:

That’s Bama

Will Futfau [8:39 PM]:

Obligatory kick six replay #1

JohnnyGentle [8:37 PM]:

Aww, Bob! Don’t be sad!

Ian Boyd [8:37 PM]:

Make sure they can assert their will in the trenches as expected

Jason Kirk [8:32 PM]:

Y’all think Oklahoma oughta onside this, then punt? Seems like the safe thing to do against the Tide.

Ian Boyd [8:32 PM]:

@Jason Kirk This is partly why it’s not shocking Saban elected to stay with Bama. His next few teams could be better than this one

krhoden [8:32 PM]:

The recruiting balance of power has tipped to one side in a ridiculous way. Obama may need to step in and redistribute

Under Armour Game: LSU hits and misses, Tide rolls

by Bud Elliott, SBNation.com

The top high school players in the country showed their skills in this all-star game, while seven blue-chips made commitments.

Over/under 7 pancake blocks by Vogel+Shepherd/Kouandjio vs OU’s diminutive outside linebackers?

angriestpanda [8:30 PM]:

“I assume you will recieve”? Is there a secret third option?

Mark Ennis [8:30 PM]:

I have a feeling this will approach the Florida/Cincinnati 2009 Sugar Bowl. Bama big upperclass group misses title game, nukes team in Sugar Bowl.

krhoden [8:30 PM]:

Surprised one of the Bama kids didn’t take the coin and put it in his pocket

Patrick Vint [8:29 PM]:

“Alabama comes out throwing haymakers early,” says Mark May. That means Alabama will spent the second quarter at a JuCo before reappearing in the third.

Ian, but imagine if Texas can get good coaching

Saban – cuffs; Stoops – no cuffs

by Bill Connelly, SBNation.com

Quite honestly, Oklahoma didn’t deserve a BCS bid in 2013. Now it’s up to “Big Game Bob” and the Sooners to take advantage of the opportunity against Nick Saban’s Crimson Tide. Will they?
