re: "Alabama is just lucky...

Even if the 4th and 25 never happened Alabama would have ended up in the top 4 at the end of the year. Our brand is just like that! Sorry!

He didn't trip and fall, bruh. Texas was trying to run him and he was hit - behind the line - by a beast. Not Bama's fault Colt was made of paper mache.

2011 Media and BCS voters got their do-over no matter what the BCS rules and calculations said.

what rules prevented it from happening? The calculations are what put Bama there. Not Bama's fault that OSU couldn't beat Iowa State. Bama proved to be the best team in the country on 1/9/12.

Sorry not sorry. Who else should have gone over ND? Who else should have gone over Bama? If UGA wins the SECCG they likely win it all. Bama made plays to beat UGA and ND.

Bama may still have been in as a 1 loss power 5 team b/c Ole Miss still had 2 losses. If you are going to talk about this freakish win though, then you need to acknowledge Bama had karma working in its favor after the Kick Six and a prevention of a possible three-peat.

MetryTiger - the angst is strong in this one.. and incredibly long lasting. He stubbed his toe on a chair leg in his house and said "damn Alabama."

Years go by and the historical markers never seem to change, so let's review them just for Metry's sake.

2nd chance, also known as "mulligan" and "Alabama's special discount;"
21-0 (Could easily have been 35-0 or more);
50 yard line - sorry, it is forbidden for you and your ilk;
"It's a mauling folks, a mauling;"
1/9/12 - "a date that will live in infamy;"

Hello metry, where'ya at? ... can you think back to that magical night? I'll try to remind you if you have forgotten:
- Please consider how unfair it was for the number 2 ranked team to beat the stuffing out of whomever.
- Please think about Ritter,
- the SEC offices in Birmingham,
- the interception call that wasn't,
- the screen pass that was,
- the unsportsmanlike penalty on the goal line...
- Consider Saban leaving LSU for Alabama and returning Alabama to the top of the heap.
- Think about 30 straight years of games in tiger stadium without a single LSU win...
- think about Alabama fans chanting rammer jammer at you personally, over and over and over.

But don't think I am not sympathetic, because I'm not. I hope you sleep well tonight.
