Well DUH!!!!!!

Why must reporters ask dumb questions? Other than to get people to click on their post and read what they're saying. So here's a rhetorical question. Will Urban Meyer use the teams underdog status as motivation for the team? Yeah think? Wouldn't you? If you're going up against one of the best football teams for almost the last decade, wouldn't you use everything in your arsenal? Is that even a question. As if this team needs any more motivation, I would think there's plenty to go around. I was watching ESPN and Campus Insider this morning until I felt like I was going to throw the remote at the television. First of all, ESPN was talking about the playoffs starting in less than a week. The host was a lady and she had Paul Finebaum as a guest host. As we all know, Paul Finebaum and Skip Bayless are about as SEC bias as they come, without a doubt. Paul Finebaum was asked who, out of the two underdog teams has the best chance of upsetting the favorite. Of course, Paul picks Florida State, and says that Alabama will be well prepared. That I expected, but what the host said, was kind of unexpected. She goes onto to say, even though Alabama lost the Sugar Bowl the year before, they have won it many times before, including to become National Champions.

 

This is my problem, it's as if one negative comment is followed by three positive. The very mention of Alabama losing last years Sugar Bowl, means that another mention of their many wins in that same stadium, becoming National Champs, and Nick Saban's record with time to prepare is deadly also has to be mentioned in order to end the news cast on a good note. Are you kidding me? When the same people talk about Ohio State, it is their inexperience, they are from a weak conference, weak schedule, and 3rd String Quarterback, with a faint mention of Urban Meyer being the type of coach he is. It is laughable.

 

The second show that got on my nerves and it's not because of their prediction about the game, it's about their explanation for why Alabama wins. The guest on the show stated that Ohio State has allot of playmakers, and Cardale will be prepared for the game, but Ohio State will lose because Nick Saban does not lose the same game twice. First off, that is a stupid explanation. If Alabama loses this game, then we find the same match up next year, then someone can say, Alabama does not lose the same game twice. The game is always the same, it is the teams that are different. If Oklahoma was Ohio State, that statement would apply. However, they are not and Ohio State is nothing like Oklahoma, so to say that Alabama losing last year means they win this year, is to say Bob Stoops and Urban Meyer coach the exact same way. What a moron!
