method Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 (edited) Isn't Auburn v. Alabama considered the Iron bowl or something? :huh: Yes it is. I should have gave you a longer answer. The media fascination with those teams play a big part. Also the South There is only so much space available that Auburn-Alabama doesn't get enough attention. Another problem is that the Auburn-Alabama game hasn't had the personalities that the other teams have had. The other programs have the likes of Woody vs Bo, OJ, the Four Horsemen, Gipp, Knute Rockne, and others. The only names that come to mind out of the Auburn-Alabama is Bear Bryant, Pat Dye, and Bo Jackson. Of course living in Arkansas, we would hear a lot about him since he is from the state. I can't really give you any more since Arkansas was in the old SWC until 1992. Maybe Constanza can give you some other names.

hulkachopblocker Posted December 10, 2006 Author Share Posted December 10, 2006 Troy Smith. The greatest player in America this year. I would like to thank the Michigan Wolverines. With out the three wins against them none of this is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite an impressive feat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECEGatorTuro Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 And yet, everyone knows about Mich OSU, or Notre Dame USC...that's my point. I didn't know... then again, I only really care about SEC football and not "everybody loves us so much that we are over-hyped" USC. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
costanza007 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 <sarcasm> Ha yeah, Florida is so overrated that they went out and beat another top 10 team on the same weekend that USC couldn't handle business against UCLA. </sarcasm> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattmatik Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 That USC-Michigan game proved how great of a coach Pete Carroll is and how poor of a coach Lloyd Carr is. Tied 3-3 at halftime with neither team able to do anything on offense, Carroll and Sarkisian decide the hell with the run, we'll drop back and throw it down the field on them (which OSU did with regularity). Meanwhile, Carr stuck with his boring and non-imaginative 'pro-style' offense. God...and people wanted a rematch? Of course, we'll probably hear Carr and Michigan fans complaining that the game was in California, basically a home game for USC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

costanza007 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 That was indeed a pretty great game. It had everything: the underdog, the hook and ladder, the statue of liberty, the 4th down convesrsions, going for 2 in OT, the player proposing to the cheerleader at the end.

BroChaos Veteran Posted January 4, 2007 Veteran Share Posted January 4, 2007 part of me is angered by the fact that they were given a bcs bowl when EVERYONE knew they were overrated. another part of me enjoys watching them get embarrassed on national tv AGAIN.

Robgig1088 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 (edited) Notre Dame chokes again... hahah yeaaa LSU _OWNED_ them. I seriously think Notre Dame needs a new coach. btw, if anyone cares, Nick Saban, who coached at LSU and then broke his contract to go to the Dolphins, quit and is now coaching at Alabama. Idiot. *LSU fan* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God...and people wanted a rematch?Of course, we'll probably hear Carr and Michigan fans complaining that the game was in California, basically a home game for USC. Carr isn't a poor coach just because of that game. I know his record lately isn't the greatest but hes still a good coach. Yeah they played bad in that game. I'm not going to deny it. I don't know why they played like they did. They played way better all season(even in the OSU game). It was like they didn't care after getting booted from the National Title. They lost mainly because the running game was being halted(1st time Hart was kept under 90yds all season) and Henne being pressured the whole game. I just hope that next season will see some things get fixed like an increase in pass defense and something with the offense. I'm one that wouldn't mind seeing a rematch of MUvOSU. Yeah Michigan lost but they played as good of a game as they could on that damn turf and came within 3 points. The only team all season to come that close. Oh and hahahahahaha to Notre Dame. I unfortunately live down the street from them but still laughed when I saw the score from the bowl game and when Michigan whooped them. For the record I'm posting this not to start an argument. I just wanted to post it to say a few things. If you disagree with what I said then thats your opinion. This is just mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats just a normal night out playing in a big game. :rofl: Can I be the first to say that Weiss is overpaid? Chris Peterson got paid $500,000 this year and took Boise St. to the Fiesta Bowl title and Weiss is getting paid millions and has yet to have a signature win. It doesn't look any better for next year since Quinn is leaving. Quinn is pretty much what kept Notre Dame in most of the games this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
