    What black magic does Bama have to be able to convince the #1 dual threat QB to leave their home state of HAWAII to live in the state of ALABAMA. Football team is amazing, I get that.but still. You're in ALABAMA and coming from HAWAII.

    The state of Georgia has now lost two consecutive football championships after leading by a combined 38 points. In the second half.

    Okay maybe last post of the night - that's three legendary National Championship in a row. And all three contain Bama. That's so crazy.

    His whole family moved to Birmingham too so they could be closer to Tua. His brother is in high school and will prob go to Bama.

    It’s almost embarrassing how petty I am but thank fucking god they lost. What a miserable year I would have been in for.

    it's one of those Georgia losses where there's no where to really point blame. In a way, it reminds me of the falcons loss. Alabama just kept getting closer, Georgia played sorta conservative but not insanely.

    I mean you could've placed blame on UGA collapsing at the end of the 4th...but bama gave them a break with a missed fg. They had a monster sack on the first play too. and then...

    whoops. game over you lose.

    I didn't realize how hated Georgia is by people on this board. It's weird. I'm so used to everyone hating Bama so hard.

    No worst reason for hating a team than because they are often successful. Its not becoming.

    I'll go out on a limb here and say that I really enjoy watching dynasties.

    I was too young to appreciate the 90's Bulls live and caught up years later and learned all the struggles they overcame to do what they did (Knicks, Pistons, rosters, etc.) and the Bills 4 Super Bowls in a row or the Cowboys title runs. I thought it would be cool to see that happen in real time, so being able to watch Bama, the Patriots and now the Warriors is a lot of fun and mind boggling. I know most get bored with teams that win a lot but you don't know if / when it will ever happen again in your lifetime. Gotta appreciate it while it's there.

    So many true freshmen stepped up tonight. Tua, Devonta Smith, Najee, Jeudy, Ruggs, etc... Like holy shit.

    Unsung hero / great decision that will go unnoticed is what one of the receivers does on Ridley's fourth down TD catch. If he keeps running his route he runs into Ridley and / or at least making that a really hard catch in traffic. But, he stops, he seems Ridley coming and his stopping stops the defender behind him as well.

    Had to watch the game on a crappy WatchESPN stream. It froze RIGHT as Ridley caught/or didn't catch that final ball. About 20 seconds of panic.

    It's super cool for me to see a lot of folks here cheering for and/or blown away by Bama for the positive when they don't live anywhere close to the Southeast. Me living in Bama all my life.

    The power of good football is amazing. We went from "they don't deserve to be in there" and "fuck them" to all hugging and shit.

    At the end of the day, even as a direct rival of both teams involved who wanted both teams to lose because of that, when an amazing game is played (Georgia's first half is as equally impressive as Bama's second half, which is understandably getting lost in what Bama did in the secondd half) and if you truly love the sport, just enjoy it for what it is: a high, high, high caliber game.

    I saw more from Jacob Eason in 2016 than I've seen in three years of Jake Browning (and undoubtedly what I'll see in Year 4, too). That's all I need.

    As long as UW continues to play good defense (Fiesta Bowl doesn't count since their pass rush SUCKED ASS) and Jacob Eason can be at least competent, UW can get to that next level--whatever that might be.

    Despite a dismal performance from the UW defense in the Fiesta Bowl, if they had a QB with half a brain---they win that game. Just give me an upgrade there and give me something to be excited about.

    Fact of the matter is that UW lost two games in the regular season this year against teams they should have beat. Both games, the offense was left stuck in the mud because of the dodo brain of Jake Browning. Expect the same in 2018.

    wisconsin’s returning five OL, Jonathan Taylor, D’Cota Dixon, and our defensive leader in TJ Edwards. getting a QB who is real would be incredibly dope.
