Its definitely worth seeing. If you had a CFB bucket list, it'd be up there.

You have to first understand that "tosu" has waited so long to be remotely relevant, that they are jumping at the opportunity to see their team try and compete vs. the best program of the past decade. This "position" for BAMA is expected. They will have plenty of fan support when it's all said and done.

For most of the time I would agree but Card fans the past decade are really making a run to challenge them.

I doubt it helps when one team expects to be playing a second game and the other isn't ;p

Arkansas very nearly had that monkey on their backs as the only one to lose to them but, as we all know, tOSU were found guilty of cheating by the NCAA and were forced to vacate that illegally obtained win


Wrong. It's a vacated win. Arkansas still has a loss to Ohio State on their record for that game. Ohio State just doesn't get credit for the win.

They also were not forced to vacate that win. They offered to do so.

A lot of the Bama fans I know are in the Sugar Bowl club and bought tickets back in August. I'm sure Ohio State probably has to hit the secondary market a lot more than Bama fans.

lol. Good, we'll send Updyke, the teabagger and the drunk horse kicking lady from last years Sugar Bowl after 'em.

We'll win this shite one way or another.

tOSU is lucky that 2014 Bama team is not championship caliber, sort of like 2013 Bama team that went 11-1 before meeting Chokelahoma.

I see a repeat of last year's Sugar Bowl.


Bama is not playing Oklahoma. Oklahoma would probably be favored if they were playing OSU.

1. Ohio State's fanbase is much jazzed up for the game. Alabama's fanbase is very spoiled right now and it's just another big game, on the heels of the dozens of other big games Alabama has played the past few years.

2. Many Bama fans are assuming victory and saving their travel/vacation/money for the title game.

Not the same thing at all. Playing in a BCS bowl is nice, but when there's a national title potentially at stake that elevates the game to a whole new level.
