#1 Florida State vs. #2 Auburn - The Final BCS Championship Game Thread

[RedOctober3829]

Auburn's rush is getting there with just 4. That means they can cover the whole field and it's confusing Winston.

 

[Dave Stapleton]

Ummmm hold?

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Browndog, I agree with you, but I think they really missed an opportunity.  I think they should have gone commercial free on the film room broadcast. It would be even better to hear these guys take their time and break plays down during off action time as opposed to trying to squeeze everything in between plays.  The commercial breaks would offer them an awesome chance to really look back and break things down even more.

The BCS Film Room coverage on ESPN News is tremendous. So great to hear input from people who actually know what the fuck they're talking about. They're all giving each other a chance to speak without dominating the commentary. It's like having all of these guys in your living room.
 
Kudos to the Worldwide Leader for taking a leap and offering such a variety of dedicated viewing modes. Best corporate decision they've made since 30-for-30 and partnering with The V Foundation.

 
The ESPN2 show though? Good lord.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

too bad ESPNN couldn't/didn't utlise the World Cup type advertising.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Turned to it for 30 seconds. Some dumb blonde got on and was bumbling something stupid. I want those seconds back.

Baby steps. They have to pay the bills (i.e. provide dividends to Disney shareholders).

 

[mascho]

Down.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

The ESPN2 show has Lou Holtz eating and drinking.

 

[tims4wins]

This is a nice waste of 2 minutes. Obviously down

edit: that was quick

 

[OCST]

down.

 

[tims4wins]

dumb ass penalty

 

[mascho]

Hit that one.  

 

[Caspir]

What a stupid penalty, wow.

 

[DJnVa]

I remember reading that one team in this game could pass and the other couldn't.

 

[Eck'sSneakyCheese]

WIDE open. Nice play.

 

[tims4wins]

That dude who didn't hedge his 500-1 Auburn ticket is giggity right now

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Um, yeah . . .

 

[ifmanis5]

Tigers got this.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Tigers!

 

[McBride11]

I'm watching the ESPN News thing, who are the people? I recognize them but can't place them (if that makes sense). Though I think 1 guy is Matt Millen.
 
And WOW. FSU leaves 1 safety deep for 2 WR??? OOPS

 

[mascho]

Yeah, the ESPN News thing is the way to go.  

 

[SoxFanInPdx]

C'mon, FSU…wake up.

 

[ivanvamp]

Apparently it's an NCAA rule that the SEC must win the National Championship, no matter what.

Spielman, BC's coach, TAMU's coach, Pitt's coach.  Millen, and I can't recognize the guy with the clicker.

 

[ethangl]

Spielman's ruining this, actually. Let the adults talk.

BC Coach Addazio and A&M Coach Summlin and the linebacker Chris Spielman.

 

[twibnotes]

I love this espnews thing but wish it was one screen

 

[Eck'sSneakyCheese]

Actually haven't been impressed with Sumlins commentary

 

[coremiller]

It'd be nice if the online feed didn't keep freezing.

 

[twibnotes]

Actually haven't been impressed with Sumlins commentary


And he's dominating the discussion too

 

[Caspir]

Flustered much?

 

[cshea]

Nice throw, Jameis. 
 
Deer in the headlights right now. 

 

[tims4wins]

FSU looks lost

 

[Hambone]

Wow. Winston airmailed that. I think he had room to run up the middle too. 

 

[mikeot]

Isn't one of the guys on ESPN the Texas A&M coach?
Edit: yes, thank you Google.

 

[Dave Stapleton]

Isn't one of the guys on ESPN the Texas A&M coach?

Yes and he js awesome.

 

[Eck'sSneakyCheese]

And he's dominating the discussion too

 
I know. It's frustrating.

 

[mascho]

"It's like Keystone Kops..."

 

[sachmoney]

Florida State looks completely overwhelmed by this situation.

 

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

FSU looks like they have no idea how to play under adversity.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

no balls

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

That dude who didn't hedge his 500-1 Auburn ticket is giggity right now

Could probably hedge right now at a much better price than -400 or whatever the moneyline was pregame.

 

[WayBackVazquez]

That dude who didn't hedge his 500-1 Auburn ticket is giggity right now

He's in Vegas, and can get FSU money line at +130 right now.

 

[tims4wins]

He's in Vegas, and can get FSU money line at +130 right now.

Would you? I'm not sure I would right now

 

[Eck'sSneakyCheese]

Nice punt.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Florida State looks completely overwhelmed by this situation.

Because Florida State, if we going to lose it then, we lose it big then.

Having Matt Millen as part of this group would be like Mario Batali serving Kraft grated Parmesan Cheese in a cannister alongside his signature beef cheek ravioli with fresh squab livers and black truffles.
