I know, some of my family live down there (Auburn fans) and they are ****ing psycho about it. My aunts 2nd husband had a heart attack while watching a game...

I have a feeling Bama will repeat, I don't think anyone out there can fuck with their running game or their defense.

wooow. Yeah, my Daddy made me into a huge Bama fan and taught me about football. He was the type that you could hear yelling down the road during a football game, broke various objects, including a 62" TV down the center with an ashtray. Our offense is amazing, passing AND running game. Defense, however, could still use some work. They're young and still need some practice and coaching. But hey, I'm still missing Rolando McClain out there

Larry Bird is a legend, but I don't know about his managing skills...

Same here, I was willing to give him a second chance as a wildcard pick up, but I've already put in a waiver to replace him.

McClain is a huge loss. I think they're by far the best all around team right now.

i have been considering phasing out college football. lately i have only been watching the sportscenter highlights. it's exhausting watching full NCAA games in addition to the NFL. i prefer the NFL... i still enjoy watching both the NCAA bball tourney and the NBA though. bcs, please die.

Yeah, BCS is the second worst entity in sports. Next to MLB officiating.

I don't particularly like NCAAF either, but I watch a few games and keep up on the 'who's hot, who's not'.

thing is, who cares about MLB? the game is boring and it's a serious time commitment. watch out if the thing goes extras...

I agree, but the only thing that makes a 4 hour bore-fest any worse is a shit call that decides the game.

at that point, shouldn't you be considering turning it off anyways? i didn't grow up watching it so i have no real attachment to the sport. i did play softball when i was 10 or something.

It's impossible to watch on TV, I only watch it if I'm at the game.
