That doesn't make sense. KD went to the Runner-Up team. Needs a Bama jersey

 

[sf2fanatic]

Bama scored 31 on a damn good D with a freshman QB. Can't blame Sark. Scarborough going out meant that they couldn't run as effectively.

Was listening to the game. That was a rough injury. I was forced to hear Sean McDonough

 

[Atomic Playboy]

Best bowl game I've ever seen. And I was secretly rooting for the Tide. But I was publicly rooting for Clemson and that counts more. Roll Ti.... gers? Great shit.

 

[metalslimer]

Lol this guy is always hype

 

[Fox Mulder]

lane kiffin smiling down from heaven

FAU isn't that great.

 

[Meier]

I really want Clemson to win it all. That'd be awesome. I was raving about Deshaun Watson last year but wasn't sure they'd make the jump this quickly.. thought maybe his Junior year. He's an incredible talent.

This was my post from November 2015 -- nailed it! Right from the get go I was blown away by this kid. He came in as a true freshman vs FSU and absolutely blew me away -- I said at the time that he'd either win a Heisman or a title.. he was an absolute difference maker and you could tell he would be absolutely elite.

 

[j-wood]

And let the athletes say what they want to say. After all it's a fucking football game.

I know, it's fine. I just makes me laugh every time how adamant they are. Would have been the same way if Bama won.

 

[therealist]

Shades of Vince Young in 2005. A lot of similarities between the two games.

 

[Vanillalite]

Damn, Dabo has beaten Stoops, Meyer, and now Saban in the playoffs these last two years.

One of these doesn't belong.

Let me give you a hint it rhymes with Hoops.

One of these things is not like the other...

I see you cdhybrid

 

[Burt]

Lol this guy is always hype

He grew up like 10 minutes from Clemson, can't imagine how he feels right now.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

Clemson with 99 plays of offense. Most ever run by another team against Alabama.

 

[Zantetsuken]

FUCK I ALREADY MISS COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Yeah, man. It's gonna be a long wait. I hate this time of the year.

 

[metalslimer]

Can we talk for a second on how badly Watson was robbed of that Heisman by a kid who failed to produce in so many big moments?

 

[NervousXtian]

I would just assume Tua is going to be the starter, why would they not start him? Tua is going to be a stud and is already better than Hurts.

Ummm... ok.. and you know this??? How?

Can we talk for a second on how badly Watson was robbed of that Heisman by a kid who failed to produce in so many big moments?

Nah, right guy won that award... I know he had an awful bowl game (in a meaningless bowl).. but he had the better regular season.

 

[Gorillaz]

how long will kiffin go before he tells the press that him not being there is the reason they lost?

i'll give it 9 hours

 

[Kevtones]

Maybe Northwestern is secretly champs since they beat Pittsburgh who defeated Clemson.

Who lost to Minnesota…
Who lost to Penn State…
Who lost to USC…
Who lost to Utah…

WHO LOST TO OREGON

 

[Tookay]

Man, those Clemson hats are ugly AS FUCK.

Also, can we please stop with "only God could do this" or "God wanted this to happen"? It's a fucking football game.

Can we stop with the whining about invoking God after every fucking football game?

 

[Meier]

Big congrats to azwe -- very happy for you, bud.

 

[necrosis]

Shades of Vince Young in 2005. A lot of similarities between the two games.

yeah

hell of a performance from watson

 

[ErnieMcCracken]

Congrats Clemson. Bama will be back. Big shutout to MCU and we'll see if the Huskies can make it back or if USC steps up.

 

[squicken]

The best defense ever...except when they play a qb with some talent.

I love that Bama lost on Sabans strength. Easily could have lost last year too giving up 40.

I thought they wore down by being on the field the whole game. Looked like a Chip Kelly defense by the end

 

[LionPride]

Mitch Tribusky may be the first QB taken...why

 

[Purple Cheeto]

Watson with his second straight Vince Young Heisman.

[Azwethinkweiz]

Big congrats to azwe -- very happy for you, bud.

Thanks, man! Didn't think I'd ever see this in my lifetime.

 

[jfkgoblue]

Yeah, man. It's gonna be a long wait. I hate this time of the year.

Its 4 months of bliss followed by 8 months of agony.

Feels like week one was yesterday... ugh football season is far to short.

 

[cdyhybrid]

They're not going to hand the job to Tua. Hurts played great for a true freshman. He had some tough games at the end against good defenses.

That said, if Tua comes in and plays better, I wouldn't be surprised to see them play him.

Who lost to Minnesota...
Who lost to Penn State...
Who lost to USC...
Who lost to Utah...

WHO LOST TO OREGON

Who lost to UW!

Note: UW's loss to USC doesn't count because we weren't playing Washington Football. UW national champs!

 

[TheCochese]

400y passing in both title games. He's damn good.

Congrats Clemson fans. I only wanted a good game and got a great one. Watch out though, if there's one thing you don't want is an angry Saban. Perhaps Kirby can step up our game next year.

 

[Frozenprince]

Watson isn't a pro QB. He's a back up at best. A project. He didn't make one read all night and missed a lot of throws.

But man is he tough.

 

[ryseing]

Nah, right guy won that award... I know he had an awful bowl game (in a meaningless bowl).. but he had the better regular season.

Jackson had an awful final month, not just his bowl. Part of that was his offensive line collapsing but still.

 

[100%TrophyMaster]

Lane Kiffin died for your sins

Born again as Joey Freshwater.

 

[RoKKeR]

I feel like I need to listen to Gimme Shelter before I go to bed haha

 

[Alligatorjandro]

I'm just glad Ohio State lost

 

[MugiwaraCole]

And let the athletes say what they want to say. After all it's a fucking football game.

Nah, they shouldn't be allowed to believe in God. It's offensive or something.

 

[Karl2177]

Terrible officiating by most standards, but that was definitely a step up for the Defee crew. Y'all should watch more Big 12 games if you thought that was really bad.

 

[Yopis]

Glad Bama got put in check.

 

[Frozenprince]

Mitch Tribusky may be the first QB taken...why

Cause he's better.

All the QB in this draft are projects at best, though. Awful draft for them.

 

[Hippopuncher12]

I'm just glad Ohio State lost

No worries they will be back there!

 

[jfkgoblue]

I'm just glad Ohio State lost

Something we can agree on

 

[Alligatorjandro]

No worries they will be back there!

And they lose to Florida

 

[cdyhybrid]

Or Pac-12 games.

 

[Gobias]

you suck

 

[Oozer3993]

I'm just glad Ohio State lost

Said the entire country.

 

[Reptars Revenge]

No worries they will be back there!

And hopefully score a point.

 

[Hippopuncher12]

And they lose to Florida

State maybe.

 

[Limedust]

Alright, I'm out for the night. GG, Tigers... and congrats Azwe (in particular).

 

[Yopis]

No worries they will be back there!

And lose again. Will never forget that phantom pass interference call they got against Canes.

Will be happy everytime they lose forever. Hope the ref bought a new car with the cash that night. Fraud program.

 

[PeterLegend]

Kiffin got his revenge LOL

 

[urge26]

[PeregrinSe7en]
