I agree. The 2nd half has been as good a half of football as I have seen in a while.

Nice game. Too bad someone had to lose.

Last I checked, both teams lost to teams that aren't as good as Notre Dame.

I love how everyone will jump on me and say fans like me are why people hate notre dame. What about a post like this!! Arrogant Alabama fans and SEC assholes are going to get knocked down a notch January 7.

Hoss you say we like to play the underdog roll and its silly, but from the way people are already talking and crowning Bama it seems fair. I don't mind, this team was 13 point dogs going into Norman and we know how that turned out.

Yes, I'm an SEC zealot being that I was born in Oxford, Mississippi, graduated from LSU system twice, and live/work in Louisiana. I have paid little attention to Notre Dame historically. Did see them lose in very frigid Independence Bowl years ago.

I believe that Alabama is overall bettervteam and will prevail in January for two reasons. First, Nick Saban has more than one month to prepare his game plan and very talented team. Second, my personal theory is that this team, just as last year's team, contains players, coaches, and staff that bonded while working together in aftermath of Tuscaloosa tornado tragedy. This event created an intangible positive effect that carries over to the football field. Since April 27, 2011, they've only lost twice.

As SEC fan, every year I support and cheer each SEC team in its respective bowl game. Curious question, why have Irish never been mentioned as potential SEC member?

I don't care if Saban has a month to prepare, he still makes mistakes and he did last night. His clock management to end the first half was piss poor. Brian Kelly is no slouch and he will do just fine with a month to prepare as well. Like many people, I'm sick of the SEC. I'm sick of hearing Florida fans, Georgia fans, and LSU fans say roll tide or SEC SEC SEC as they root for one of their rivals. I don't care what conference your in or not in, you will never hear me root for michigan or USC.

Maybe because I'm not a huge college football I don't really get this...but it seems odd.

I'm a NY Jets fan. I root for the Jets and whoever is playing the Patriots. I would NEVER, under any circumstance root for the Patriots.

He's ridiculous as well. Is that what you want to hear?

I haven't seen many people crowning anyone yet. Then again I didn't pay much attention after the game last night. You realize you're not actually playing in the game, right?

I use the word "we" meaning fans not part of the team. My brother in law always says your not part of the team when I say we or I'm not playing, seems like a line people like using when they want to be a dic*
