SEC's myth trumps its reality, Stoops says

[calh45]

If Missouri and Auburn get run by Ok St and Fla St too then there's gonna need to be quite a bit of media backpedaling for this season.

you're reaching way too hard putting my post in there. i never put alabama on some unbeatable pedestal at any point this season.

former big 12 doormat missouri can get the sec a big win though

what exactly did missouri win?

 

[duckbutta]

I'm an SEC stan...but Stoops got every right to talk that shyt after last night...

Played a team that was supposed to pound them cause they were angry they were not in the championship game...

Ran circles around them dudes...

Made bama's oline look suspect...

Made they defense look guilty...

Made other SEC teams say "all we got to do to beat Nicky is run a no huddle?"

Let's not act like dude didn't loose something like 5 straight BCS games though...but last night was his night...Let that boy cook.

Bama clearly didnt have their heart in the game. They could've went for 300 rushing yards, instead they depended too much on bum azz McCarron. That Auburn L was still burnin. This gm just seemed like a chore. Stoops is still an overrated azzhole. Scust at Texas getting in dat azz

Big 12 is (64-77-6) against SEC e

I stand by what I said about the SEC having the superior talent all around.

the problem isn't the elites of the conference though breh, it's the garbage teams and their fans dikkriding along all cheesing and shyt screaming SEC. Nah nikka, you are Kentucky football. You are garbage. Don't dikkride and stick your chest out over what Bama, Auburn, LSU, etc are doing just because you are the 50th nikka on stage during a rap concert.

I am objective enough to admit that Stoops WAS RIGHT about Mizzou and A&M coming to the SEC and having their way would be indicative of the SEC not being some god conference top to bottom.

However, talent is talent, even at the next level...

And don't get it twisted at all, I think I even posted in here where I stand as far as the SEC-fandom goes. I'm not an SEC fanboy at all, and I think the fratbro mentality of "We're in the same conference so we're all BROTHERS!" is stupid.

repped off the bolded.

the top teams in any conference are able to hang with the tops of any conference. it's common sense IMO. I know cats give Stoops hell and he has laid some eggs, but OU has to deal with these open/spread offenses on a weekly basis. Them shyts are hard to stop for a reason.

Mufukkin apologists need to also quit with this "they didn't have their heart into it" nonsense too. Can't have it both ways. When you win, you are the shyt, when you lose, we weren't trying?

Lots of mufukkaz are losing bread this bowl season with their draft stock too. @ the Kouandjio brothers.

I have never heard such a thing, you could've at least said Ole Miss.

The scouting report was out on OU that if you can run the ball, you can beat OU. However, Saban and Bama took to the skies over and over and over and over and over. Sure, McCarron had a shyt ton of yards, but OU's defense was ultimately bend but don't break, and McCarron was never truly poised in my opinion. He was dropping back, looking, looking, looking, shyt gotta go gotta go gotta go gotta go [sack or thrown away].

I think that if Saban had to do it over, he would have crammed the ball in 27's stomach every play and told him to head North-South. By the time that 27 was fully ingesting yards and carries and defenders, it was too late to lean on him. The Bama defense was like "Oh fukk us, fukk this!" They needed breathers, they needed Bama to control the game.

I know that McCarron had some nice yards, and that's great, but he wasn't the player to put the game on tonight. It was apparent that OU wasn't going to let that happen and/or he wasn't up to it on this particular night.

I don't think that I'm over thinking this when I say that Stoops was ready and willing to play the air it out game. He made Bama play a BigXII game pretty much. I feel like Stoops saw those AJ passing yards and scoffed them off.

Yeah, they played right into OK's hands not sticking to their bread and butter (they could not stop henry), but that boy Knight was cooking. Dude did his best Johnny Manziel impression.

It's true though.

I work with a FSU grad and we've been talking all season about how Winston and FSU were going to do pretty much exactly what OU did to Bama last night. Kirby and Saban simply can't stop an athletic QB, and last night made it all but a foregone conclusion.

After talking to more people about it as the day goes on, I still can't believe that Saban didn't just hand the ball off every play starting with that turnover early in the game.

I KNOW that Saban is a great coach. I've seen his LSU and Bama teams first-hand on multiple occasions, and they are amazing. Something was just weird about last night. Did he have a heart for McCarron and wanted him to go out on top? Did he feel like he wasn't fully utilizing his offense? Did Stoops simply lure him into a trap?

You can say all that you want about those guys not wanting to be there and all of that too, but at the end of the day they are COMPETITORS, and at some point in that game (probably halftime) they really did want to win that game.

Another question, is the kicker Foster ever going to receive sexual favors in the state of Alabama again? I don't think so.

this.

I think they just felt the need to pass since they were down more than what they are used to being down by. Kinda panicked in a way. Henry was killin it, but everytime they went down more than 1 score, they felt the need to pass. And ole boy on OU was lunchin Bama's left tackle.
