National Title Game Thread: Clemson and Alabama

[West Fargo Gopher Fan]

Tonight's official reminds me of this guy.View attachment 4667

I had him and several other He-Man guys. Had castle greyskull too. Ah nostalgia.

 

[Sparlimb]

Well, Clemson is still in it.

 

[cncmin]

Assuming Alabama wins tonight, they will have won 5 of last 8 championships.

Is this good for college football?

no.

Desmond Howard has quite a suit....Nice!

Pimp my suit.

Uhhh....how about that targeting by Boulware! But Rallis' targeting vs. Purdue was so much more violent! Brutal.

 

[Oregon Gopher]

This one was okay- it was on an Alabama player!

Targeting is optional in 2016, except when it's the Gophers. Obviously that sounds silly, but after watching a full season of football I can't conclude otherwise.

 

[RunGopherRun]

The worst part is that the announcers don't even say anything. Herbstreit even went so far to say something about 2 tough guys playing tough guy football. OH! I get it! As long as they are both "tough guys" it is ok to lead with the head and drill a guy straight in the helmet. Got it. Thanks Kirk!

 

[Gophers09]

Yeah - it's just an incredibly selectively enforced rule. I'd imagine many fanbases, depending on how their games played out, don't even think anything of a hit like that.

Renfrow has 3 TDs now vs Bama last 2 years.
Last year he caught 7 for 88 and 2. Tonight....I've lost count # of receptions but nice job by him.

That Goodyear Cotton Bowl ad even featured a targeting hit. Rewind and behold. We were targeted by the officials this season, no question.

Watson needs to take over this game right now

ESPN finally went too far with whatever it is they are airing on ESPN 2...

If only that was all they were doing.

Leidner > Hurts

Another targeting not called....

I'm glad they didn't call it. Didn't launch himself at all and wrapped up. Nice form tackle.

 

[JZsportswhiz]

Watson got spun like a top

 

[DoubleAlum]

Another targeting not called....

How can they not even take a look? The guy upstairs can stop the game even if a penalty isn't called. WTF. Alabama is treated so favorably.

What does Derrick Henry have on his head?

What does Derrick Henry have on his head?

A family of tarantulas?

A family of tarantulas?

I thought maybe a bald eagle decided to use his head as a nest.

 

[Oregon Gopher]

He's related to the Predator.

He needs hair assistance from Akeem Springs to show him the mini man tuft.

The ESPNU and ESPN2 broadcasts are worse than the worst fm morning shows and that's saying something. How this is on the air...I dunno.
