LOL @ people saying they won't watch the championship game


Jan 4, 2018, 10:35 AM

So we win our first title in 35 years, and now all the sudden some of us are too high and mighty to sit back and enjoy the game just because we aren't in it? Good grief

If you really are too butthurt to watch Bama or Georgia win a championship then fine, that's your right. I hate both of these teams too. But even though we are one of the true elite programs in college football, we ain't gonna win em all.

We should be a top 5 mainstay for years to come, and will be in the mix just about every year. Lighten up, enjoy the ride, and be happy with what we have accomplished.

Go Tigers!

Yep, same reason I'm not watching. Might be the 2 best teams in there, but SEC stuff has gotten beyond old. I also don't watch the Patriots in the NFL for the same reason (i.e. good team and coaches, but I'm not a fan and tired of hearing about how awesome they are).

Best way to keep the SEC out of the game is beat them. We didn't. I'm going to watch until i fall asleep. Hoping Bama squashes UGA early so that we don't have competition so close to home. Go Tigers!

Our season is over and I am not interested in the SEC SEC SEC Bowl.

I will say that I would love to see Alabama beat UGA within an ounce of their life so we don't have 2 separated SEC fan bases talking trash.

Many of you don't remember when UGa won the national title in 1980...I was a teenager and if the fans are as obnoxious now if they win as they were back then it will be a very aggravating year.

I honestly don't care...We have Clemson Basketball to look forward too!

This will be cow football. A bunch of cows on both lines and a runner getting a few yards over and over and over and over. Although Alabama will most likely break a few runs since I dont think Georgias Defense is that strong. A long boring low score game. No dog in the fight no reason to watch - not just my thought this week but all season long. I didnt watch the national champion UCF nights win it all, I wont watch Alabamam beat Georgia for second place.

Soft Oklahoma put 48 points on that big boy team and was up 17 right before half. If they kick it deep and Georgia doesn't get that field goal right before half okie probably wins.

The match up does not intrigue me, Saban vs Saban light...

similar to Saban vs Saban light[Les Miles], Bama v LSU, The Sequel.

I did not watch the 2nd game, and really not that interested in another version.

Is it possible it's just bad TV?

I promise you I would have been glued to my flat screens if it was OU vs Bama, so should I not watch, it has nothing to do with Clemson not being there and everything to do with the specific product offering.

I didn't watch one play of the Bama-LSU bogus title game back in that year, and have no regrets whatsoever.

And there are a TON of folks that have proclaimed they are not watching this game to protest the ESPN-SEC smoochfest. Look up #notwatching on Twitter.

I do know I haven't watched one second of ESPN since our game, and don't plan to because if Finebaum appears on my screen, I may spontaneously puke.

I know a lot of people who aren't watching it because


Jan 4, 2018, 11:26 AM

it's just a second SEC championship. A lot of people aren't interested in a National Championship that only involves one conference.

The LSU vs. Alabama BCS Championship was the least watched championship of the BCS era. It was a catalyst for the playoff. It wasn't until the viewership numbers were so low that they threatened advertising dollars that ESPN started supporting a playoff. Before that game the narrative was "the BCS and two team inclusion is good for football."
If the numbers dip as bad this year, prepare for some kind of change. Television controls all of this.

It shapes up to be a boring game with little scoring. SEC defensive struggle 10 to 13 type game. I have no interest in watching two hogs root over a turnip for 4 quarters to find out which SEC team wins a Natty in a down year for college football...I will find out the next morning like everyone else. I think this has the potential to be the lowest watched National Championship game yet, and it should be. Until there is an 8 team playoff, and the SEC bias remains, this will happen every 3-4 years.
