re: Replay of 44-16. Tua Has miscarriage, Clemson Mercy Knee & Other Fun Facts

Some of you Bammers are something else. The previous two games Clemson and Bama met in the title game, Clemson had the tougher draw, and the year the two met in the semi-final game, Bama did not have to play in their conference championship game, effectively giving extra time to prepare. Yet, I don't recall most Clemson fans making such a constant excuse about it. To the contrary, Clemson fans readily admit Bama reamed us in the 2018 semi-final game.

Also, yes -Bama was having success running the ball early and would likely have been better served had they stayed with it. That said, I don't think they could have out scored a deep team that was used to playing the majority of the roster in every game. The 'ship game ended with a 10 minute 90+ yard coronation march that ended with the mercy knee. Perhaps Bama should have similarly developed roster depth when they were blowing away teams during the regular season.

Excuses carry much more weight following nail biters as opposed to blow-outs.

SO true. The one that really gets me is the crying about having to play Oklahoma in the heat and humidity of Miami, while we got to play indoors in Dallas. In 2015 we beat Oklahoma in the heat and humidity of Miami, while Bama played indoors in Dallas. And Michigan State was one of the easiest draws ever. We lost by 5 in the title game, but never crossed my mind to use the semi game humidity as an excuse. Then comes the part about Notre Dame this year being an easier semi opponent than Okahoma was for Bama this year. Hmmm, I'm not sure Notre Dame was an easier opponent than Bama, much less Oklahoma. Then comes the ACC schedule allowing us a year of rest. Bama won their games by a larger margin than we did. They should have been very well rested. I had heard the CBS crews talking about Tua never getting to play in the 4th quarter. If our regular season schedule was easy, then the postseason was easier as the margin of victory was larger in Charlotte, Dallas and Santa Clara than the regular season. Then there is the tried and true conference championship game excuse. WE played Pitt, while they played Georgia. As you said, the previous year they didn't have to play a conference championship game at all. We lost by 18 and I never even dreamed of using that as an excuse. Again, as you said, excuses might apply in a close loss, but a four touchdown, take a 1st down knee at the five with 35 seconds and two timeouts loss, not hardly.
To their credit, most of these excuses came weeks and months later after some thought. The day after the game, they were pretty much saying woodshed, which was a better look. Alabama is a great program and the standard bearer. These excuses are beneath them. They are probably a couple of weeks shy of being closer to their next national championship than they are to the Santa Clara debacle.

Odd.

So for 2 years you didn't bother to try to post on the Rant, but since the national title game, you have posted nearly 300 pages...300 pages, mostly about Alabama. That is what makes you the most obsessed loser fan I have ever seen on these football boards, and I've been on them since 1998.

Oh how sweet this off season has been. Bama fans don’t know where to turn since that historic arse beating.

What did you do after 1/9/12 and are you still
doing it? We need guidance from those who have also had their arse kicked in a national title game.

Auburn and LSU lost to Alabama by a combined 60 in 2018 - 81-21. I get why you two bases would hop on the Clemson dick but it’s still not a good look when you two lost by more to Alabama.

But Bama’s arse beating 6 months ago was worse than the 2012 beating.

Alabama was beating Auburn by 42 pts at halftime on 2012.

I believe we have to hop in our time machines and travel back to 2004 to see a more lopsided beat down in a championship

So Auburn dick rides USC the way LSU fans dickride Clemson. Slobber on that knob boys.

By the way

Bama ! Not as Bad a Championship beatdown as Notre Dame!

After considering this, I think it might work. First of all it’s true, second of all it minimizes your pain by helping you understand you are not alone. I’d run with this...
