re: When Does The Alabama Dynasty End?

Would you say Bama's win in the National Championship one of the most impressive championship performances of all time? I'm curious.

O God no.

When you lose before at home to the same team, and LSU wasn't having their inner turmoil, it isn't nearly as impressive otherwise. Alabama already played LSU and lost. They already knew for a fact wouldn't work. Not only that when some of the best players don't see the field and the opponent isn't executing well, it isn't impressive. Was it statistically impressive? Sure. Did any player have to pull out an impressive clutch performance? Did the coaches have to do any impressive half time adjustments? Did Alabama have to stop a dominant opposing player playing at their pinnacle? Did Alabama impress on both sides of the ball?

I would say outside of defensively dominating a very poor QB to begin with(they weren't forcing Tebow or Cam to gift wrap some turnovers out there), no other part was really that impressive at all, especially given that they knew which elements of their game weren't going to work.

List of unquestionably more impressive championship performances?

1.) VY in the 2006 Rose Bowl.
2.) Charlie Strong's defense against Ohio State in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl.
3.) The 2001 Miami Hurricanes in the 2002 Rose Bowl. Not only that game, but never trailing at any point during the entire season, culminating in a dominate performance in almost every area in the championship. They would have beat the 2011 Crimson Tide by 30 points 100 out of 100 times.

More that aren't so blatantly obvious, but definitely more impressive:

1.) Nick Fairley and the Auburn defense against Oregon in the 2011 BCS Championship.
2.) Tebow and the Gators holding the highest scoring offense in the history of college football(that was lead by a Heisman Trophy winning QB and the all-time OU TD leader DeMarco Murray) to 14 points.
3.) Saban and the Tigers against OU and another Heisman winning QB.
4.) OU in the 2001 Orange Bowl only giving up a safety. One of the best coaching performances ever.

I was at that game and we never ever were going to lose that one. The score did not reflect how much we dominated OU that night.

I'll never forget that little delayed blitz at the end. Sooner Magic is real, and I thought it was going to rear its ugly head. Thank God for Nick Saban.

I knew one of you would catch that.

Jason White was held to 102 yards passing and was sacked 5 times and threw 2 picks and no TDs.

That's more impressive than holding JJ to whatever

Why don't you tell us about A&M's impressive performance in a BCS game...

Lol we've never had one, gump... I didn't mention Texas A&M.

But I listed what? Like 7 more impressive performances in recent history. Were those outlandishly hot sports opinions? Which one was less impressive than the Herculean task of making JJ look like a crappy QB?

I know this is just a troll thread, but I do think it's funny how on 1/8 LSU was considered one of the best teams in BCS history, and one day later they were suddenly viewed as a JV team or something

This aggie is an obvious troll. I guess I would troll too if I pulled for an irrelevant team like TAMU.

This was a team that before the last game was in the conversation for "best of all time." Averaged 30/40 points per game and dominated their opponents (save 1).

You're remembering the LSU of 1/9, not the rest of the season.

Haters gonna hate

---

Again, which of the 7 wasn't more impressive? I watched LSU's offense plenty, and any conversation about LSU being the greatest of all time was made by some ESPN sensationalist anchor... and definitely not true, or anywhere close to it. Do you honestly think that Alabama shut out one of the greatest college football offenses of all time or anywhere close to it? Did they even rank in the top 15 in any significant category?

Spoiler Alert: No. 86th in total offense, 106th in passing, 22nd in rushing, 17th in points per game.


Jesus, anything but unadulterated praise for every single thing the Tide have ever done, and you gumps come out of the woodwork in outrage.
