ETA: Nevermind. Apparently this is another butthurt thread about Bama not belonging in the 2011 BCSNC.





Oregon, Florida State, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, West Virginia... Who else?

But rest assured, one or more of these teams will be touted as legitimate NC contenders in the upcoming weeks.

It's your time to shine. The sunshine is about to get pumped. Enjoy your time in the spotlight until you lose.

Um, you're an Alabama fan. Your complaining in any way about the concept of "media darlings" after last year is hysterical.

You robbed Okie St. of a place in the title game... all because of media hype.

Good one. The point still remains that if Alabama was not one of the media's fortunate sons, your asses would have been at home watching on TV.

Enjoy your rationalization of that logical fallacy, I have no doubt that you will. No use in applying any depth or objectivity, just "rrraahhlll tide y'all!"

This is about the media being stupid and wrong about USC (or Notre Dame or others).

Why are you bringing up an example of when the media was correct and right?

Objectively, Alabama was much better than Okie Lite. If you can't see that, you're not objective.

You sound really butthurt. The team that won in the NC in dominating fashion didn't belong there? What kind of rationale is that?

"Butthurt" - the stereotypical response from a fan who has rationalized himself into a state of contentment.

Move along homer, just don't bitch about media darlings when at least one trophy in your case is a direct result of the media having a hard on for your school and Its "no no a Mulligan makes perfect sense cause we beat ourselves once kinda" bullshite mentality.

Good Lord you are pathetic. We won the game, buddy. The media didn't beat you. Alabama did.

You are extremely bitter about the fact that you didn't get to play a crappier team and thus have an easy road to an NC. You can't be any more pathetic as a fan. You are the one that wants to be handed an unearned trophy.

The BCS is for the two best teams to play. They did. LSU lost. FACT.

No shite you won the game. You're being dense intentionally (I hope) to ignore the point.

The media got you there. If Oklahoma State had been named Oklahoma, and Alabama had been named Mississippi State, is there any fricking way Oklahoma gets left out in favor of a rematch of a game that featured zero touchdowns?

You and I both know the answer to that. You got in that game because the media loves you. Congrats.

Unbelievable coming from a fan of a team that fell arse backwards into the BCS with two damn losses.

LSU - 2 BCSNC's with 3 combined losses.

Bama - 2 BCSNC's with 1 combined loss.

Keep whining about how we didn't deserve it though; just don't think about those two years that LSU won.

An Alabama fan lecturing people about unearned trophies after being giftwrapped a do-over game AND hating on media darlings in the same thread?

Holy shite. What year is it?

Bringing up irrelevant information to incite "shite-slinging" is the trademark of a losing argument.

But do go on.

We got in because we were objectively better than Okie Lite. Oklahoma State is not Oklahoma, no matter how much you want to change their name. And we both had 1 loss, so shut the frick up.

What about 2008?

1-loss UF got in over UNDEFEATED Utah. What if Utah was named Oklahoma?

See how retarded that sounds? Were you bitching about that in 2008? No.

You didn't want to play Bama again, and then you got whipped, and now you want someone to blame. It's pathetic. Seriously. Please stop.

How is comparing our BCS resume in a certain year to your BCS resume in a certain year irrelevant?

Way to derail this thread entirely. You, sir, are a miserable fan. Seriously pathetic. You're embarrassing yourself.

Sorry you didn't get to play the worse team for the NC, and thus, have an easier road.

Because I wasn't comparing LSU's road in 2003 or 2007 to Alabama's road in 2011. I was saying that Alabama's road would have been impossible without the assist from the media. You have (I assume, deliberately) missed my entire point.

You brought up all the other useless bullshite.

Wouldn't the same have been true for Okie State, though?

The media/coaches would've voted them in over Bama, and thus they got preferential treatment.

How is it any different?

It's ok if the media prefers the easy team. It's only when they vote in the tough team that you have a problem.

Your pathetic-ness is proven.

The thread was derailed when it started.

You're a Bama fan, calling out the media is biting the hand that feeds. I was reminding you in case you had forgotten the entire 2011 season.
