I couldn't have said it better...

myself:
You say Alabama, I say Iowa.
Iowa needed two blocked kicks to beat Northern Iowa; Alabama needed two blocked kicks to beat Tennessee. Iowa got a ton of national respect thanks to one big road win against Penn State; Alabama got a ton of respect for one big win over Virginia Tech. Iowa needed a ton of breaks to get to 9-0, before getting tagged by Northwestern; Alabama keeps on winning despite being not quite as good as you think it is.
LSU is fine, but it's not special. We're all supposed to think LSU is special, because it's LSU but this year, it's just a very good team. Nothing more. Take out an injured Jordan Jefferson and replace him with Jarrett Lee, get help from a complete and utter brain cramp by Les Miles, who chose to go for an unnecessary two point conversion, and get some more help from a missed call on what should've been ruled an interception by Patrick Peterson, and Alabama is living a charmed life. Sure, the Tide made things happen on its own to get the win, from Mark Ingram's running and the brilliant catch-and-run for a 73-yard score by Julio Jones, but don't make the mistake that just because of the great record and just because of a win over LSU that this is an unbeatable team.
Everyone made excused for Iowa during its long winning streak, and now everyone will use the Just Win, Baby thought process when it comes to Alabama. Watch out against a Mississippi State team with two weeks off to rest up and prepare, and really be careful of Auburn trying to make a big statement in a home Iron Bowl. Alabama is too good not to be 12-0 on the way to facing Florida for the SEC title game, but is this really a team good enough to beat both Florida and Texas? Not at the moment, it's not.

Alabama obviously used the bye week to improve on offense. 453 yards of offense suggests that. Iowa survived every week. Alabama has not had to do that. You're going to have two or three close games in a title run, especially in the SEC.

Bama looked much improved on offense. I'll give them that, and they have a great defense.
However, if you trust Mcelroy, you're foolish.

Jees you frickers are the biggest bunch of titty babies, that int didnt cost you the game, the inability of your offense to do anything in the second half did. Injuries are part of the game and once again the decent LSU fans have disappeared while the vags take over the fan base.

Sour grapes. Come back when you finish them off.

Agreed. I've never said that it did "cost" us the game. It did cost us an opportunity to win the game.

Alabama would skull frick Iowa like 30-3.

Auburn also has an open date before playing Bama. In fact, by season's end, Alabama will have played 12 conference foes coming off open dates since 2007. Alabama is getting use to other teams having 2 weeks to prepare to play them.
Next year, 6 of our SEC rivals will have open dates before playing Bama. Auburn, LSU, MSU, Ole Miss, South Carolina, and Tennessee, all at the end of the season.
Seems everyone thinks they need two weeks to get ready for us.

sorry I should have known better than to come here. I misread your intent.

I'll remind you of this when the SEC officials make sure that the stronger team (Florida) advances to the BCSCG. Alabama had better have decisive wins throughout the remainder of the season or the SEC will decide your fate for you.

Alabama won't beat Florida regardless. But we already know the effect the officials can have on a game anyway.
I counted numerous missed holding calls and one crucial PI call that was missed. In addition I seen where the ball should've been spotted at the four, but instead it was put on the goal-line which resulted in a safety.
So yeah, I'd say there was some pretty bad officiating in tonight's game.
