Was on M&M with Bayless and SAS (!) and seemed to think Ark had an ok chance at the win.
Also said Bama was the better team coming away from that game.
Nice hair, guy.

Bama IS the best 1 loss team. Unfortunately for Mel, we are UNDEFEATEd and beat them

Then why did they go backwards in OT? I would have thought the smart thing for the better team to do would have been to go forward. But, hey, what do I know?

He probably thinks it was bad luck that the kicker,who misses 78% of his attempts, didn't make all those field goals.

I've never seen such little respect for a number one ranked undefeated team

Jesus!!! What is wrong with these people. We beat them AT BAMA. We had just as many turnovers as they did. We were in the red zone more than they were. They went backwards in OT. We scored a TD in OT if not for our RB stepping out unforced. Wtf!!!!???

I think some clarification is in order here. Are you saying that he said that Bama was better than Arky or better than LSU?

Always hear Bama would have won had they had a kicker...but didn't they have two kickers?

if the line was "LSU was the better team" then that lessens the case to keep Bama at #2.

People need to realize that:
Life is not fair.
Sporting events are not fair and head to head competition is often judged by a singular performance.
The perceived "better" person/team does not always win the singular event...
History does not record fairness, only the facts
9-6, 11-5-11
Signed,
USSR vs USA (Hockey)
USSR vs Afghanastan (real life war)
Ohio State (team of all time) vs Florida (CF)
Ivan Drago vs has been Rocky

some agent probably paid him to pimp bama since he will be scooping up bama players. then mel can pump them up more once the agent gets them.

Said the same thing on the Freddie Coleman show on espn radio the other night.
He basically doesn't see stars at the QB position or one Trent Richardson-type RB for LSU, so he judges & labels the entire LSU offense as "inconsistent".
However, as a team, LSU has the #10 ranked QB rating in the nation at 156.3, & the #14 scoring offense in the nation at 37.9. That's pretty solid & consistent.
For someone who is supposed to see more than the average fan & is expected to make astute observations/evaluations, he's actually pretty shitty.

The better team generally wins. If that is what people need to hang their hat on to feel better, so be it. We, on the other hand are an unbeaten "lesser" team. I'd rather that than the other.

I heard an idiot on the radio last night that said Bama left 12 points on the field...REALLY?
How the hell do you leave 12 points on the field when one fg was blocked and the 2 others WERE OUT OF HIS RANGE!!! They both fell short of the goal post!
The ONLY points they left on the field was the missed fg were he had the distance but pulled it...
I'll say it again...if the roles were reversed no one would be saying LSU was the better team and so forth...
They would be saying Bama made plays when it had to and that is what great teams do and they would be heaping praise...
I don't care what anyone says LSU is not getting the total respect it deserves up to this point...yeah they are number one in all the polls but listening to the pundits its almost like they are doing it by default because LSU is undefeated...if Bama was undefeated and they hadn't met yet they would have Bama even though LSU would still have the better resume...

Mel Kiper fails to understand football then. There are three aspects of the game....Offense, Defense and SPECIAL Teams. Alabama failed at SPECIAL Teams.
Alabama might have been the better team coming away from that game...but they WERE the one-loss team coming away from that game. That much I can guarantee.
The media can't get its hands on Les Miles and this LSU team...so they say other teams are better and give everyone else a shot. No one picked LSU to win it all...and thus they have to make excuses and hope LSU doesn't...or it'll discredit their so-called experts.

Bama not only missed a few field goals, they were out coached. The fact we were able to capitalize on that and beat them in Bama says were are a better team.. I am not sure how you can argue against that.
Posted on 11/25/11 at 10:24 am to Fun Bunch
Well if they would have made their field goals...

That idiot also said Brady Quinn was the #1 qb his Sr. Year. Could possibly be the least informed person on ESPN other than "Home Boy Smith"
