Alabama-Michigan

[psu00]

He took calls. The callers just made comments, no questions, and then awkward silence. I was really surprised the SEC network didn’t have something better to offer. How did this guy get where he is?

The show is a mess. The object is to get the most back woods redneck type people to come on and spurt out ridiculous statements for their team and Finebaum just sits there. He only really chimes in if someone asks a direct question and even then his answers are weak. There’s no real insight or discussion in that show. It’s simply the Jerry Springer show- football edition.

Louisville vs Washington ready to kick off on CBS.

Washington down early on a pick 6. Louisville going with qb 2 as qb 1 going in NFL draft.

 

[SUPERTODD]

I am cool with this game where both teams look awful. Yeesh.

 

[bdroc]

Orji finally completes a pass downfield. Unfortunately it was to an Alabama defender.

It's strange that Michigan is relying on a QB who announced he's leaving.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

As I said, Lando, people who have made a tackle or scored a touchdown know. Definitely not talking about you.

Exactly. +1

They all stunk this year. Has he announced where he is going? Probably trying to parlay this into his next gig.

Alabama's QB has been really indecisive with the ball. Seems afraid to turn it over. His completions down field have been against Michigan's zone defense -- and then only with wide open receivers after a safety is out of position.

I would play man against him and blitz. Should be easy sacks and maybe more stripped balls. Will Michigan do this? I doubt it unless they get behind in this game. They seem to be content to play a JVP type of game.

Big FG there

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

And Michigan decided to go to sleep. Some of the most uninspired offensive play calling I've ever seen. We would run Franklin out of town if he called a game like this. The only time Michigan runs a reasonable play is when they have 3rd and less than 5 yards. Otherwise I guess a short pass makes no sense to them.

One thing for sure, both of these teams have utterly awful offenses (again, Milroe is the most insanely over-rated CFB in history - he isn't just bad, he's f'ing awful at QB... missing wide-open receivers all over the place.... throwing INTs.... fumbling..... Just awful. He's an average "flanker back" playing in the QB position..... just an utter liability at QB. E-SPiN touted him as the Heisman Frontrunner all Preseason! LMFAO. What a joke and typical of their crack analysis.).

In any event, neither of these teams has an Offense capable of winning.... it's just a question of whose offense will play worse.... and Alabama and Milroe are winning that competition pretty easily right now.

Sorry for the back and forth the other night. You’re crazy, but also entertaining and sometimes have some good takes.

I’d like this game a lot more if Ohio Stste hadn’t lost to Michigan. Now SEC fans can say they beat Ohio State too.

A really dumb NFL team will draft him to play QB.

How tf do you run the ball there? Time is not a factor

 

[Phil's Rug]

Great return on the punt there for Bama

 

[mcpat]

Am I really rooting for Michigan?

 

[bdroc]

Michigan is a good QB away from returning to prominence. That's not too difficult with the portal.

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Michigan is showing you how to play not to lose.

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

This is the epitome of playing not to lose. Alabama will have to do something stupid not to win.

 

[bdroc]

Moore might have played field position once too many times.

Alabama gets a big return, 4 down territory, and 3 TOs.

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

Wow. Playing not to lose even on defense.

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

How are coaches still this dumb?

 

[AvgUser]

Watching this game with one eye, SMU did deserve the CFP bid over Alabama

 

[pennstatepelly]

B 1 G! B 1 G! B 1 G! It just means more baby!

 

[TiredOldLion]

Finebaum’s head just explodes

 

[creamery freak]

Michigan holds on for 19-13 win. Really weak pass from Milroe on 4th down.

 

[mcpat]

Wish Iowa had held on yesterday. And hate that I’m rooting for Michigan and Iowa

 

[bdroc]

Michigan is showing you how to play not to lose.

In this case it worked

 

[mcpat]

Let’s go Illinois!

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

Finebaum’s head just explodes

What makes it even better was that Alabama lost to a depleted Michigan team that gave them every opportunity to win this game by being so conservative it was laughable. Michigan did not even trust to have their QB throw a pass on 3rd and long. They would rather play defense.

I will have to tune into Finebaum to hear his spin. Imagine if Georgia goes down.

 

[creamery freak]

Let’s go Illinois!

It's a lot easier to cheer for Washington and Illinois!

 

[mcpat]

Illinois just got hosed

 

[mcpat]

Illinois hosed again. Who’s officiating this?

 

[Marylovesthelions]

How sweet it is

 

[bdgan]

It's a lot easier to cheer for Washington and Illinois!

Yes, especially since I expect Michigan to rebound quickly with their 7th ranked recruiting class (three 5*)

 

[SLUPSU]

They already bought the No 1 QB recruit.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

The only thing worse than Alabama's Offense is...... scUM's Offense. The fact that scUM only scored 19 points after Alabama turned it over 4 times in their first 4 possessions in their own territory (first one on Downs after going for it at midfield, second possession by fumble at their own 19, then by INT at their own 16 on their 3rd possession and then by fumble again on their 4th possession at their own 6 yard line!!!) Is just staggering and with all of those freebies scUM only scored 19 points and Alabama was within 6 on their last drive inside a minute and couldn't convert inside the Redzone for the win???? Alabama had a 1st-&-10 from the scUM 15 yard line with 2:00 to go - and had they converted and punched it in likely win the game - how on earth they were within 6 and scUM only had 19 points is a true testament to how truly gawd-awful scUM's offense was (and is I suppose)!

B 1 G! B 1 G! B 1 G! It just means more baby!

I was only half watching the game but I didn’t hear the Michigan fans do the mocking SEC! SEC! chant at the end. If they didn’t mock the Bama fans with that they should be kicked out of the conference.

And that is why Alabama didn't deserve to be in the playoffs.

Been that way all year. That’s why they fired the OC. Head scratching play calls.

You'll upset wastecoast turdyfour.
