re: Wanna know why we are going to chick-fil-a bowl?

We are not going to the Cotton Bowl because the match up of a current and former Big 12 conference member (A&M and Oklahoma) is going to generate more interest in the game due to the story line than we would have generated by showing up there, no matter which Big 12 team showed. This would be true even if we averaged 50 points per game. Remember, this is about money, not merit. The powers that be really do not care how many points we score.

So Miles beat A&M who beat Bama..Fans like you suck

---

LOL

We lost to Bama because Miles made some horrible fricking calls that handed Bama points.

Quote any other wins, losses, teams, etc, I don't care.

Our players played well enough o win, Miles actions took the Bama win away,

BTW, I LOVE Miles as our coach, but I'm not ignorant enough to not see when he does moronic things.

Which decisions put points on the board for Bama dickhole??

Thanks for this. It shows me your knowledge and that ypu exist only to argue. If you need it pointed out to you, it would be futile.

Get off your knees, Miles isn't in town today.

It is hard for me to watch LSU play and I love them... But how do we expect others to want to watch LSU, when we look like garbage even when we win!!

We are not a flashy team for tv offense is boring we barely beat ole miss and arkansas to end the season. Now im happy to be going to a great bowl but tv wants flashy like a and m and teams that sell big players.

Small part.

1. Northern Illinois issue is major, which bumped Oklahoma to the Cotton.

2. SEC protecting Georgia. Having them slip to the Chick-Fil-A Bowl would have been unacceptable to Georgia, Altanta and the SEC. Capital One Bowl wanted TxAM, but SEC worked the bowl management enough to get Georgia in...which started the following domino effect:

- Could not put South Carolina in the CFBowl since they play Clemson every year. No TV draw and no bowl attendance draw. CFBowl has the #2 ACC team tie-in so the could not dump Clemson. Cotton did not want South Carolina but the Outback Bowl did.

- Cotton wanted TxAM as long as U of Texas was not there. Due to point 1 above, U of Okla drew the tie-in bid and allowed the Cotton to grab TxAM.

- The best course for the SEC was LSU being slotted in teh CF Bowl. Just how it worked out.


REGARDLESS, LSU has an excellent match-up. Flashing name and offense, ranked in top 15-20, and one of the better teams in the ACC. We have the ability and tools to blow them out the GA Dome.

If we do, expect a top 5 finish, maybe higher if some other bowls are upsets.

UGA played a soft schedule laid an egg and luckily beat FLorida(who laid an even bigger egg), and played a Bama team that easily could've already had 2 losses on the season.

---

UGA, and it's acclaimed D front 7, got physically whipped by Bama on what amounts to UGA's home field. LSU played a physically superior game vs Bama and held Bama to 331 total yards. Couple of poor coaching decisions and few player brain farts led to a L, but I still would rank LSU # 3 overall in 2012, and that is with what is likely the highest player attrition in the conference from an injury and suspension standpoint. UGA got the easiest ride into the SECCG the last two years and when push came to shove they couldn't finish in either game, they should play some tougher road games vs SECW opponents. I believe LSU would have beaten UGA Saturday, too.

How bout trying a 55 yd fg with a kicker that has never made one that far?
Do you think giving Bama the ball at mid_field resulted in points before the half?

---

It was a 54 yard FG which means the line of scrimmage was the 37 yard line. What would be your strategy from the 37 yard line Mr. Football? Would it be to punt it? Yeah, lots of teams punt the football from the 37 yard line.

Our defense should have been able to hold Bama. They ran a draw on the first play just to see what they could get out of it and got 11 yards. If we don't allow that, Saban is going to just run the clock out.

Not exactly sure what it is that you would have done here, but you clearly know more football than everyone here, so I'm sure you would have had a better answer in hindsight knowing that our defense would give up a 63 yard drive in 50 seconds.
