I didn't get to watch the game live since I was traveling from the Indianapolis airport at the time of the game. I caught score updates from the radio, and Mrs. Nasty would call to let me know what was going on too. So it wasn't fun watching the dvred game last night after knowing the good guys came up short.
Alabama was doing okay until the fourth quarter, and in uncharacteristic fashion, the Tide faltered in the final frame. The defense gave up too many big plays in the passing game throughout the game, but the interception and fumble by McElroy were the big plays in the game.
Just when I thought the pass defense was fairly dependable, the mediocre duo of LSU quarterbacks made the Tide pay. That was a surprise.
Alabama's national championship hopes are dashed on the greasy rocks of Baton Rogue.
There's still an outside shot of winning the SEC West. However, the Tide would have to beat both State and Auburn, Georgia would have to beat Auburn at Auburn, and Arkansas would have to beat LSU in Little Rock. A way outside shot with all of those variables.
Depressing.

Was thinking of you during the game.
Don't rule out the Hogs in the Rock. (My folks come down every year for Tksgiving and watching the game has become a tradition. If we stand on the front porch we can hear the crowd from War Memorial.)
I have little doubt Arkansas can beat LSU. Heck, the Tide should have beaten the Tigers, but they pissed the game away by giving up big plays and having two crucial turnovers.
Regardless, I hope War Memorial is loud that Saturday for good reasons.
Now UGA beating Cam "The $200,000 Man" Newton is a whole 'nother story.
A way outside shot with all of those variables.
So you're telling me there's a chance? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KX5jNnDMfxA
Dammit, I just realized I missed a great chance to rick-roll you.
Never gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down,
Never gonna run around and desert you,
Never gonna make you cry,
Never gonna say goodbye,
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.
