Masterful the way he worked the media this week. He said and did all the right things. Shula or Rich Rod would've never pulled that off.

Yes, but even if they had a team this good, they would've said or did something to the media to screw it up.

Nick handled it just right.

You're in and it is what it is, but seriously, wouldn't you rather have earned your way in?

I don't want to suck anybody's dick. I just wanted to compliment him on doing a good job at getting in front of the media and saying what he needed to say.

I'll take earning it on the field over, "working the media" every time. Winning solves everything.

If you want to give Saban props for recruiting and coaching a team of such quality that they put themselves so far ahead of all the other contenders, go ahead. Bama was the best #2 team and deserved the bid to the CG. Nick doing a press tour had shite to do with it.

You mean those 13 titles aren't all legit? Who would have known.

I think we earned our #2 ranking. Most of the voters agreed with Nick about that.

He was all nice all week, smilling and happy on gameday.

Tonight he bascially said "frick you america. I dont care what you think. I'm balling my way into the nc and their aint shite you can do"

Thats the best way to do it.

I did want to earn it in 2007. I didn't start threads praising Les Miles for having to politic our way in. Check my history.

Miles did a good job with the media that year. He's pretty good with the media too, I've noticed.

Gundy...Not so much.

Sure, name another team more deserving? We indeed got lucky, but we won the SEC title game and everything fell right in for us. Can't help WV choked.
