CFP Semifinal: Michigan/Alabama Rose Bowl - 4pm CT ESPN

[Bevo&Pevo 5131]

I think this will be a good game because no matter what. one the teams I despise is gonna lose.  Our D will stuff the winner like a Thanksgiving turkey next week.

Line moved to Michigan -2.5

If I remove my fan cap, admittedly I feel like all (4) of these teams are capable of winning the natty.  No one stands out heads above the rest.  Just a matter of who wants it more, who is able to weather the complacency of a month off, who’s not just happy to be there, etc (there’s a reason a TCU lays it on a seemingly superior Michigan team).  You’d like to think a championship on the line is motivation enough, and sometimes it is, but in my experience with these bowl games, even the playoff, you never really know what you’re going to get.  Would be better if there was no month-long break complete with “get away from all things football” Christmas break between end of reg and meaningful playoff games.

I was at that one in Miami and the Orange, little did anyone know that we we seeing the beginning of that, our kicker missed an extra point in OT, that being the difference.  In retrospect, losing to Brady by point doesn't seem all that bad.  

I saw Favre play his final game in at Southern Miss in a Liberty Bowl in Birmingham.  

If you are a random under the radar NFL prospect, perhaps your odds improve if I show up to see a game.

I’m just an armchair dude but I think JJ McCarthy hasn’t seen anything like this Bama front before and he melted down against TCU last year. 
 

Michigan’s defense is salty as fuck and Bama is gonna have to earn pretty much everything. I see an ugly affair with Bama getting control late. Plus Harbaugh can’t seem to get his team ready for these semifinals. 

343 yards 2 tds 2 ints. Not to bad but not great

If he throws for 300+ I'd be very surprised.  

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

bama +115 at the moment amazes me.  I got in at +105.  Is something going on , injuries?   Michigan is going to be smashed IMHO as I'm counting on big 10 suck.

Honestly, I'm shocked Iowa has avoided discovering how to get negative points. 

[Bevo&Pevo 5131]

Team Michigan today.

Agreed. I would be surprised if they let him take enough risks to get to that #.

Yep.  Glad the weather cooperated & it's a bright, sunny day out here.  A few days ago, there was a chance of rain in the forecast for today.

Beautiful setting, enjoying what amounts to just a game, and a B2 bomber flying over for shits and giggles.

America, fuck yeah.

Which feed is going to be the least worst, espn, the duece, or SEC network?  Thinking SEC goons might have some humor value.

[Irish Wrist Watch 1359]

This fucking game won't be over til 8PM. 

[Nueces River Rat 5538]

Rig 12 Refs….   Reviews will certainly take forever.

That was the most TV friendly ref I've ever seen during the coin toss.

Alabama gonna win by 17

[TexArcher 37774]

Michigan 27-24.

And I'd rather play Michigan than Bama for the second time, if we handle our business.

So fucking amped to be a part of this, finally.

If this game goes into OT, people are gonna remember you said this.

If Michigan loses this game Harbaugh will go on a strict human only diet. 

[Underdog 28623]

Every time Saban is interviewed reminds me of that weasel Yankees player during the trophy presentation in Bad News Bears, hands on hip, smugness, arrogance... 

[Surly Bevo 24908]

Good start Meatchicken

[UTGrad98 2272]

Oh Jesus Christ.

[po elvis 2070]

I really think Bama is overrated right now. Looking for Michigan win.
