AUBURN Wins National Championship...?!

How weird is THAT....?! auburn defeats the Oregon Ducks to win the BCS Football National Championship. That's just.... bizarre.

Could the Mayan calendar predicting the end of the world be off by a year...? Or could the Mayans possibly have not foreseen this highly-unlikely and virtually unbelievable outcome?

50-something years...! That's how long the tigers/plainsmen/war eagles or whatever waited between championships. This one will, in all likelihood, be forfeited later due to numerous NCAA rules violations. It wa undeniably won on the field.

Unfortunately, the national media saw these retards roll their OWN yard in celebration.

"Missed It By THAT Much.....!"

CRAP! Congratulations, auburn.

ROLL TIDE, ANYWAY!

The cow college, Alabama Polytech, beat THE UNIVERSITY of ALABAMA in a sure-enough nail-biter of an Iron Bowl. The tigers/plainsmen/wareagles or whatever beat The TIDE in one for the ages. 28-27. The auburn faithful will be talking about this for years.

This was a come-from-behind with more excitement-- and angst-- than I care for. AND it not only disappointed me (along with thousands of fans of various teams in AND out of the SEC)-- it also ruined my pick...! I had predicted ALABAMA to win, 35-28.

If last year's Heisman Trophy-winning Mark Ingram had tucked the ball away, it would not have been punched out of his arm from behind by a tiger defender, snuffing a potentially soul-killing drive.

If Trent Richardson catches a toss in the end-zone-- that hit him right in the hands-- it's an entirely different outcome.

That's 14 points left right out there on the field that SHOULD have been on the scoreboard.

Another play of note, after qb Greg McElroy was viciously flung to the ground on his shoulder in the final minutes: Julio Jones, who was accustomed to McElroy's floating tosses, was unprepared for the PERFECTLY-THROWN pass by back-up A.J. McCarron. The ball just zipped right over his shoulder. Had he been ready, it would have hit him right in the hands!

That play would have put BAMA a LOT closer to field-goal range.

I believe that South Carolina will, again, give auburn a stern test in the SEC Championship Game. With Spurrier having a little more time to prepare, THAT one should be pretty wild.

I also believe that this tiger team can beat the Ducks, the Horned Frogs, or whoever they will face in the BCS Title Game.

Stupid tigers.

ROLL TIDE, ANYWAY...!!

BRENTOONS IRON BOWL Pick

Well, here we are again. Another year. Another WILD college football season. Another year of twists and turns so vulgar that even ELVIS would have called them obscene.
THE University of ALABAMA comes into this year's showdown with a surrealistically disappointing 9-2 schedule. One of the most storied, respected and honored programs was coming off of an undefeated 2009 National Championship season, a record-breaking campaign that featured a crushing, precision-tuned defense and The Crimson Tide's first-ever Heisman Trophy winner in running back Mark Ingram.
Based on the returning starters on offense, many 'experts' and pundits expected another run at the title. The youth and lack of depth on defense looked to be the weak spots.
The offense seemed to struggle early, with key injuries to Mark Ingram and some offensive linemen. The defense featured some major contributions from some true freshmen, and now leads the nation in interceptions. With a schedule that was stacked against them (7 SEC opponents had bye-weeks before facing The TIDE), BAMA fought hard, but lost two tight, hard-fought SEC road games against SEC-East winner South Carolina and an LSU squad whose one loss was to auburn.

auburn, on the other hand, is just like a cartoon. A parody of college football. A drawing in a coloring book. With a lot of.... I don't know if 'drama' is the right word. I think 'Chaos' is more like it. Although they have been winning, they are STILL playing in The TIDE's shadow.

The cow college has a better record, bigger numbers, and a higher ranking. They also have a dirty defense and a lying & cheating criminal on offense who is, admittedly, the best player in the nation. Had he not been marketed and sold to the highest bidder by his father, he would be a shoo-in for the Heisman Trophy.
ALABAMA has had a brutal schedule, some key injuries, and a disappointing loss knocking them out of any kind of title contention.


THIS IS IT!


The plainsmen/war eagles/tigers or whatever will be undone. Yet again. On national television. The TIDE will get a little payback for that '89 game.

Finally, though, it all comes down to DESIRE. ALABAMA will want to just win the game, in the end. All else is just window dressing. Or gravy. Or icing on the cake. Whatever.ALABAMA 35, auburn 28

ROLL, TIDE, ROLL!!

If Only They Could BOTH Lose......!

#6-Ranked Louisiana State visits western Georgia to face #5-Rated auburn today on television (CBS 2:30) in a sunny afternoon SEC West contest between two teams called "tigers". Both teams, surprisingly, are undefeated. Really. The plainsmen/war-eagles/tigers or whatever host the 'bayou bengals', and as much as I hate both teams, I have to watch.
auburn's Cam Newton has elevated the team's play in spectacular fashion, and his running and passing abilities and 'clutch plays' have placed him squarely in the Heisman race. @*#%!!
Both LSU and the 'Mad Hatter' Les Miles have been awfully lucky-- again! Quirky play-calling and questionable time-management issues will just not go away. The main issue will be if LSU's defense can stop-- or contain-- the high-powered Newton. If they stuff his scrambling, can they also take away his receiving targets...?
Either way, one team will fall-both on the field and in the rankings, and ALABAMA's Nick Saban and Kirby Smart will be able to scout BOTH teams to devise strategies.
RTR!
