re: So with Year 1 of the SEC on ESPN/ABC drawing to a close, how do people feel about it?

(a) How did you initially feel when the agreement was reached?

I was fine with it, because it allowed for marquee games to be flexed into prime time slots and awarded more night games.

quote:
(b) Do you feel better/worse about it after a full season of it?

It was nice to not have to switch channels constantly between CBS, Espn and SEC Network. Miss the CBS college football music and production quality.

Well? How so? This man has been low-key melting at any prospect of Bama getting in which is not guaranteed. He talks about "clear logic" but hasn't attempted to explain his arguments. Only argument he has is a debatable "most deserving" but he would contradict his past posts so he stop just short of it.

The Bama one is accurate. You've been bloodied.

Honestly for a fan base that has the potential to get a 1st round bye and rest up, you guys are melting over a Bama team that we're not 100% sure is in the playoffs yet. Fascinating to watch......

re: So what’s the justification for Bama over Ole Miss?

Think of Alabama as this year's gay trannie handicapped left-hander.

So what does that make Georgia losing to Alabama earlier this year?

re: LSU fans griping about Bama getting in lol kind of ironic ?

It’s not THAT cut and dry between Bama and Ole Miss when you compare like opponents, and with no divisions, you can’t use a “title” to help someone and you have very unbalanced schedules

Both beat Georgia but Alabama beat LSU on the road while Ole miss lost to LSU.

I agree, I'm going holla at Karl .....KJ Lacey father to see what is the room temperature. It might take a big bag to keep Ryan at Bama. Karl and I grew up together and KJ and Ryan talk regularly.

If Milroe comes back we might lose Williams

We are cooked, we're going to try a few desperate down field throws but it looks like the team is quitting.

That's ballgame

I feel like a 7 point lead is 17 points with how we're playing.

watching this team that they think they can just show up and win

That's the feeling I get, I'm not going to trash the kids but I haven't heard of anyone stepping as a vocal leader. It's so frustrating because this is Vandy all over again.

Probably looking at maximum 4 possessions in second half.

Yes, but they cut off at certain periods before ball is snapped.

I don't think the coaches trust Milroe to check into the right formation. Nothing against him very few College QBs can accurately diagnose pre snap movements and check to the right plays.
