Alabama lost. That's right, the Alabama Crimson Tide, the team with more national championships (even discounting Piggly Wiggly) than any other FBS program, has lost. They led almost the entire game, but with one second remaining on the clock, a miracle happened: Deshaun Watson made a two-yard pass to Hunter Renfrow. There was no Clemsoning. Alabama lost. Had the Crimson Tide won, Nick Saban would have tied Paul "Bear" Bryant in NCAA titles in the poll era (1936-today). He might do it next year. Hell, Alabama's already the preseason number one (we'll get to that in a second). Had the Crimson Tide won, Alabama would cement itself as having the best 10-year period in the history of college football (going back to 1869!). Pretty much the entire D-Line of the Tide are getting drafted. And yet, Alabama lost. In less than 11 days, the United States of America will plunge into darkness, but for one night, we can say that things are going OK. Because Alabama lost. ESPN's Way-Too-Early Preseason Top 25 1.

Warbird posted:Real talk, when was the last time Bama played in a National Championship and lost? I don't remember us being particularly good during the mid 90s up until 2008. This may be the first time it's happened since I've been alive. '71 Orange Bowl is my conservative estimate. edit: Close! '75 Orange Bowl against Notre Dame.

You won't be able to watch the channel itself but probably live games. ACC Network Extra is technically ESPN3 under different branding.

Bryant seems like the guy who would've hired a hitman. He wouldn't want his hands dirty, you see. College football has always had off the field problems, but it's a reflection of America. Why do you think the war on drugs happened the same time the Hurricanes started winning national championships?

Why Yankee Stadium? Why not, like, MetLife Stadium in New Jersey? You know, the State they first played football in. And a football stadium. Hell, if it's too big, Red Bull Arena could fit the bill. e: also, death is preferable to another Crimson Tide national championship.

PostNouveau posted:Should we celebrate our awesome food or maybe blues or jazz? Nah, let's idolize the years where we tried to destroy the country so we could keep enslaving people. Here's the problem: 'awesome food' and 'blues and jazz' weren't developed by the same people who fought for the Confederacy. They were, in fact, developed by the people the Confederacy wanted enslaved.

Let's see what my head coach said after our spring game!Texas State coach Everett Withers posted:I didn’t like those guys last year. I didn’t like them, just so you know. Are we more talented? No, we’re not. But I like being around them. I like being around our guys. They are good people, they care. Generally, I feel they have a better care for each other than a year ago. I want to be around them, I want my son to be around them. I want our coaches’ families to be around that. I want (defensive coordinator) Randall McCray to bring his son and his daughter over here and be around the team. Last year, I didn’t bring my kids over here because I didn’t want them to be infested with what was going on. OK.

Korranus posted:It's got to be cheaper for ESPN to just honor their contract to UT. I don't see any other reason they're keeping it alive. I think if ESPN pulls the plug, UT gets a lump sum of the amount promised over the 20-year period. That would be hundreds of millions of dollars.

Texas isn't leaving the Big 12 any time soon. There's no way any of the other Power conferences allow them to have the Longhorn Network, and Texas isn't about to give up on LHN.
