Game Thread: South Carolina-Florida State

[Saban14]

First, I'm thinking Steve Spurrier won't be rushing back to the Georgia Dome anytime soon.

Sad, too. CSS is, in my opinion, the second best coach in the conference and one of the top 10 coaches in the country. It is just impossible to win at USCe consistently.

 

[HELENKELLERMRI]

UT, UGA and USCe all three looked bad. I'm afraid there are more losses coming for the SEC. And yes, it's going to be THE TOPIC of the offseason and leading up to next season.

Those teams are east teams. The east was very weak this year, but your right there will probably be more(jan.10).

I have to raise my eyes heavenward and ask why Lord? Why did Garcia have to play the game of his life against Bama this year? Go figure.......

I reckon being the one to knock the defending NC of the hill was motivation enough for the "Cocks to play over their heads..

 

[Craxycat]

This game makes me dislike SC more. Why did they only work hard for our game? TICKS me off.

south carolina looked horrible in the 1st quarter tonight.

 

[bayoutider]

SEC continues to fill the loss column. I hope tomorrow is a better day.

Well, darn, Me too! ^^^^^^^^

The SEC east was awful this year. Another lucky thing about Auburn's season - they faced perhaps the weakest SEC east champion in the history of the SEC championship game.

I will still say this - take care of business (go undefeated) in the SEC and you are in the NC game. Have a 1 loss season and all bets are off. It's going to require some degree of luck in that scenario, no matter what.

Tubs, is that you?

I know! I hate to play the "what if" game, but if Alabama played that type team in '08 instead of Florida with mighty Tebow we'd be looking at back to back appearances in national title games and maybe back to back titles. Our luck hitting Florida that year was the worst kind.

 

[TideEngineer08]

Tubs, is that you?

Yeah... the rarest of scenarios. The bad luck that Auburn "suffered" that year, they have more than made up for with good luck this year.

In all fairness, Tubs was right!

 

[NoleTide]

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now lets get this #1 class with 9 Early Enrollees. Get the talent developed and coached up while gaining size without losing speed, strength, and endurance. Next couple of years nobody will want to see us on the field.

Wait, what did Tubs say?

 

[Ldlane]

Wait, what did Tubs say?

Basically, that it is hard for SEC teams to compete in the BCS system unless they go undefeated and it is hard to go through an SEC schedule and not lose at lest once.

Greg Reid is a stud..We were so close to landing him..I sure 'nuff wish he had came to Bama..

Indeed! This young man would have been a huge difference maker for Bama this year.

He is the textbook example of a 5* player IMO.

Anyway, USCe has gone backwards since their win over us and the blame lies with Spurrier.

It will be interesting to see how much longer he wants to coach for a living. I'm betting he hangs it up in the next year or two. He would be a great addition to the "booth" if he desired a TV gig. I'm so tired of listening to all the former "losers" and their mostly inane comments that I could scream! :biggrin:

Ah yes. I remember now.

 

[Ldlane]

Reid has not had a great year. He has been under scrutiny all year down in Tallahassee.

His tackling sucked this yr. Other than that he's been pretty good. Probably made the biggest tackle of his college career tonight to knock ML out of the game.

The Rules have been changed by the Bowl CEO's to enhance excitement!

FSU's Offense is still very "weak" and many FSU fans are disappointed in Jimbo.

I'm a FSU alumni, Booster and long time season ticket holder. I know a lot of FSU fans that are very happy with Jimbo. In fact I can't name 1 fan that is disappointed in him. I guess you were stating an opinion....
