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.

yeah, we don't all do that. i don't care for some of the other teams in the conference, and don't get why some pull for any sec team over others. to me that would be akin to pulling for dallas or ny if the skins get in to the playoffs. i would never do that. hate those other teams.

the upcoming game is a dud for me now. don't care for either team. don't care who wins.

This might be the only post from you under this thread I can appreciate. My SEC friends on Facebook had me believing that everyone in the south just cares about the conference whether or not it's their team playing or not. One guy said "I'm a Georgia fan but if they lose to Bama then I hope Bama crushed ND in the title game, that's just how we do it in the south. SEC SEC SEC"

Well I know the Kentucky has to pull them, how else are they going to get help fund a new football stadium and facilities.

Calipari's ridiculous offers are only good enough for basketball team

EXACTLY!!!!

Its nonsense. I would NEVER root for ASU or USC.

I do root for the Gators in the SEC, but besides that team, they can all suck it. The whole "cheer for your rivals' thing disgusts me as a sports fan, and causes me to lose respect for SEC fans.

I guess I should root for the Cowboys, Giants and Skins this year since the Eagles sucks.. yeah fucl<ing right.

ND is a unique situatiion because if I was an SEC fan...and I'm obviously not...then I might have to root for an SEC team because, after all, they are playing ND

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.

exactly!
i remember years ago dallas was playing their last game of the season. if they won, the skins went to the playoffs. if they lost, the skins were out of the postseason. still couldn't say 'go dallas'. it is impossible for me.
i enjoy college football, but don't necessarily have a rooting interest. matter of fact, i enjoy a game more if i don't have one-you appreciate good plays even more.

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*

And I'm not calling u a dick, just the way you said that kind of comes off like that lol
