Did anyone else just see Jim Rome is burning? He just said that Miami is better than us and that we better be thanking the poll voters that they didn't put us below Penn State because they are, in his opinion, better than us. He also said we haven't scared anyone since Tyrone Prothro went down and we haven't scored an offensive touchdown since then. I usually like Jim Rome but I think he went a little overboard with that. We have scored offensive touchdowns since then, but i guess he didn't see the Ole Miss game or Utah State. I guess we will see who will be scared after this weekend and next.

It's one man's opinion and a justifiable one. Jim Rome tells it like he sees it and lets the chips fall where they may. I respect him for that.

yes, i watched rome and he is right about alabama not playing good offense right now. but, he is wrong about miami, being the better team. they lost to fla state who have lost to two average teams so far, virginia, and i forget the other, they went to overtime to beat mighty north carolina. they beat va tech, which i believe is over rated. if alabama could find their offense for the LSU game it would shut up so many media people.

The thing that gripes me is if Team A goes 11-0, and beats everyone 10-7 and 13-10.....they are NOT a good team.

But if Team B goes 11-0. and beats everyone 31-24 and 42-35 ..... they are a great team.

How many times did we hear VT and Vick could beat USC and Texas. What happened to their GREAT O?

Who cares what Jim Rome's opinion is? It's like really caring what anybody says...as long as we keep winning, the rest will take care of itself. Also, if we can't go to the Rose Bowl, let's take on Miami, ND or Penn State and let them all see what a real defense is like! Miami has played two teams that count and they are 1-1 against them and they had to go to OT to beat a lousy Clemson team. To me, Va. Tech was WAYYYY over rated! They barely beat Maryland who has been crap this year. Jim Rome is an idiot with a microphone.

say what you want ...

Jim Rome is a pansy. ever since the Jim Everette interview on Up Close (i think) back in the 1990's i have not respeced the guy. In case you guys forget that interview, Rome continually called Jim Everette "Chris Everette" (as in the lady tennis player).

Everette ignored the first two or three times Rmoe did it, but Rome continued. Everette then asked him to stop. Rome continued, so Everette went after Rome. Rome then hid behind about 20 people who got between him and Everette.

Any person that would provoke someone in that manner is a thug and not deserving of respect.

If we beat LSU, Auburn, and Georgia; then I am going to be a loud voice of discontent about the BCS and ANYBODY that doesn't think we deserve to play in the Rose Bowl.

Until then, the pundits are as right as they are wrong.

I don't worry about USC, Texas, Miami, or VA. Tech. (Whatever happened to Va. Tech, who actually believes that LSU is better than Va. Tech,and how much longer are they going to believe it)?

Here kitty, kitty.... ;)

Jim Rome is a jackass. I am so sick of not getting respect from the media. All we do is beat whoever we face. Until we lose, which may not be until next year, we deserve recognition. I've heard some analysts say that we're lucky to be even in the top 10. That's BS. To steal the Raiders line: Just Win Baby!!!

He doesn't deserve the name "Rome".

Rome was a proud, strong city that ruled the world.

There's nothing worse than an antagonistic coward that runs his mouth and then runs to hide when his words cause the intended reaction.

From henceforth, this gutless wonder will not be allowed to use the name of that great ancient city. He will be referred to as Jim Paris from this day forward.

God... that is so funny!

He is just like the squeaky, skinny guy in junior high that never knew when to shutup and ended up being dumped in a garbage can behind the gym on about 2 or 3 days a week.

What is appealing to him about sports, anyway? He looks more like the interior design and arts and crafts kind of guy.

You know, Rome's career took off after that, so I wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't a set up, although Everette looked every bit like someone who wanted to beat the pulp out of someone.

Anyway, I crack up everytime I see that. :)

shouldn't he be covering TO. or the Carolina Cheerleaders (who looked pretty good by the way), or some old baseball player getting a DUI? He just like hearing himself talk just like our good buddy Finebomb.......who cares what they think..don't listen...
