Excuses from the the SEC
Jan 9, 2019, 8:31 PM
|

1) If the two teams had played earlier in the season, then... 2) If the two team played each other ten times then... 3) If the two teams at 50 - 4 switched conferences, what would their records be then?
Here is a radical thought...How about we just be realistic and compare the two teams head to head? 2-2 in the modern era, with Clemson Tigers 2 -1 in the National Championship games.
Yeah that works...

After a loss Same Excuses Coming
1. Coaching staff turnover 2. Injuries from playing that brutal SEC schedule 3. Deserved to be in a better bowl so unmotivated 4. We “beat ourselves” the team who beat us had nothing to do with it 5. Team that beat them would never have been there had they played in the SEC 6. The sun was in our eyes during a night game

We’ve used the beat ourselves excuse.
It works in a closer game, but a tail kicking like this isn’t a blown coverage, missed FG, or mental error.

See what had happened was: The big 10 refs were not use to our speed! Oh, ah, we didn't get the right hotel and we didn't sleep well before the game. Tom Brady was in our equipment room before the game and the ball felt different. We didn't want to play in California anyway!
What a bunch of ungrateful losers. - . - . take it for what it is. Get better from it. Respect your opponent! Oh wait, that would mean you would have to acknowledge football is played in more places than in SEC stadiums! Sorry folks, you didn't invent football and you haven't perfected it! And, you aren't the only one's who can be great at it! Sorry!

We're not just beating people...we are DEMOLISHING them

OSU 30-1 Ok 37-17 ND 30-3 Bama 44-16
It is incredibly obvious that for most of the year Dabo and staff just hold onto the reins tightly, in games we could probably name our score in....then unleash the hounds of hell in the post season. I mean these are serious, serious Blue Blood Beatdowns.

Coworker of mine is a Missouri fan/Alabama coattail rider. The morning after the game, he used the "If they played 10 times" line. I just smiled and nodded. Even when we wipe the floor with Alabama, there's always an excuse.
But I also got a bunch of people telling me how happy they were to see the Tide get whooped.

Heard this one from a Vols fan:
Alabama was exhausted because they had to play Georgia and Oklahoma. Clemson got to play Pitt and Notre Dame. SMH

This is the one that really gets me. Alabama has the top recruiting class 9 out of 10 years or something like that. They oversign and culll every year tooi. They should never be tired or exhausted.

Coot fan yesterday: “Y’all just copied what other teams did that worked!! That’s why y’all won!” I said “ok sure, it’s called coaching, but you’ve never seen any of that in cooterville have you!”

Heard this one from a Gamecock the day after the game...
'Glad to know we scored more than Bama did on y'all, and I hope they play like that when we see them in September'..
This isn't some redneck gas station pumper, which makes it even more unbelievable/sad...
