Sugar Bowl: LSU Tigers vs. Notre Dame Fighting Irish

[NickBam]

Darius Walker has SEC speed.He was caught :P

Shhhhh

[JeffSamardzijaIRISH]

With all the Quinn / Russell / WRs hype these past couple of weeks, nobody mentioned Darius Walker.

That's cause he sucked earlier in the year. James Aldridge needs more carries.

[snuff]

Where is Dorsey... Non-existant.

[smittyjs]

That would have been one hell of a grab

[JeffSamardzijaIRISH]

He's gettin owned by ND's pourous line.

[RWFender1]

LSU defense make Darius Walker look like a heisman canidate

[JC the Savior]

That would have been one hell of a grab

Yeah Samardzija was in awful position.

[JeffSamardzijaIRISH]

Samardzija TD! :D :D :D

[NickBam]

Annnnnd we have a ballgame.

[JC the Savior]

SHARK

[bernbabybern820]

brand new ball game folks

[JeffSamardzijaIRISH]

Wow, nice move by Samardzija.

[smittyjs]

that CB got OWNED

[smittyjs]

Where is Dorsey... Non-existant.He broke up that pass on third down.

[JeffSamardzijaIRISH]

What happened to LSU blowing out ND now?

[turninandburnin1]

cmon xenon play some D. tie game thanks to a missed kick now, dammit.

[NIN1984]

I hope Samardzija goes to the NFL, just forget about baseball

[JC the Savior]

I hope Samardzija goes to the NFL, just forget about baseball

Yeah he's really hurting his draft stock with his baseball career.

[NickBam]

What happened to LSU blowing out ND now?

Theres still an entire half to play.

[NickBam]

I hope Samardzija goes to the NFL, just forget about baseball

Yeah he's really hurting his draft stock with his baseball career.

Go Cubs.

[turninandburnin1]

i hope smardjiza plays NFL too but I seriously think he will take MLB. I heard he i already received many offers or something like that.

[bernbabybern820]

wooo $50,000 fg kick

[Komp]

Weis is severely outcoaching Bo Pellini right now. Quinn has been average and ND is tied at the half. They have to happy with that. Should be a good 2nd half.

[NickBam]

Oh boy, that pass look like it took zero effort.

[Brodeur]

Well there's that arm.

[JC the Savior]

Should've let Doucet score so ND could get the ball back with 1:30 left



With that arm Russell's longest career completion is 58 yards!?!?

[bernbabybern820]

wow so much for just walking in russell

[Philliez01]

i hope smardjiza plays NFL too but I seriously think he will take MLB. I heard he i already received many offers or something like that.

He was drafted already by the Cubs.

But the thing is, even with a player with great talent such as Brien Taylor, it's really hard to make it to the MLB through the Minors and get the salary you could get in the NFL. Of course, if Gil Meche could make X amount of dollars than Shark can but the road is tumultous.

I'm not saying the NFL is easy, quite to the contrary, but if he quits the dream of playing baseball then he can at least make the money firsthand of a first/second rounder.

[Komp]

what a throw

[The Unseen]

Hmmm

[turninandburnin1]

i hope smardjiza plays NFL too but I seriously think he will take MLB. I heard he i already received many offers or something like that.

Thats what i thought i just didnt wanna sound like an idiot.

BTW Touchdown LSU, nice.

[JC the Savior]

Russell is as good as gone.

[NickBam]

Should've let Doucet score so ND could get the ball back with 1:30 left



With that arm Russell's longest career completion is 58 yards!?!?

I think they said it was Early Doucet's longest reception.

[JC the Savior]

I think they said it was Early Doucet's longest reception.

I just looked it up and 58 is Russell's longest for the season.

http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/teams/lli/stats

[NickBam]

Darius Walker at half.

18 carries, 127 yards, 7.1 a carry
2 catches, 31 yards

Nice day thus far.

2 catches, 31 yards

Nice day thus far.

Those 2 long runs were basically what got him all those yards.

[JaMarcustotheJaVikings]

So, he's a junior... any word on him going to the draft? With Samardzjrtyllioa and Quinn gone, this is probably going to be his best season. Anybody else's thoughts?

[Jguarino24]

Anyone surprised that ND didnt try to get something at the end of the half?

[keylime_5]

So far the giant from LSU has impressed me far more than Quinn. Brady as usual is shaky against a good defense. I'm starting to think more and more that Russell is gonna be throwing passes in the bay area this year.

[Basileus777]

I'm surprised at how well Quinn has been protected today. Though he is still playing poorly despite his good pass protection.

[Bem1]

were actually in this
-Walker is having his best game of the season
-Quinn needs to calm down
-play by play guy is an ass for making fun of Bradshaw's ACT SCORE
-We can't stop Early Doucet
-yea kicker still sucks

[Brodeur]

Why is Chris Rose providing analysis.

[NickBam]

Darius Walker at half.

18 carries, 127 yards, 7.1 a carry
2 catches, 31 yards

Nice day thus far.

Those 2 long runs were basically what got him all those yards.

He was already averaging 5 yac before those runs.

[elway777]

Im actually rooting for Notre Dame because it would put USC in a better situation with Chad Jones and Joe Mcknight.

[Basileus777]

LOL! Tim Brown is such a homer.

"It feels like Notre Dame has dominated the ballgame."

[Bem1]

LOL! Tim Brown is such a homer.

"It feels like Notre Dame has dominated the ballgame."
besides big plays they kind of have

[turninandburnin1]

pretty sure u cannot dominate a game and be losing at the same time.

[Philliez01]

The most exciting halftime show in all of the land, at least it's there opportunity to play on a national stage.

[turninandburnin1]

wow those bands sucked.

[JC the Savior]

THE KICK!

[JC the Savior]

Awful posture/form

[Bem1]

damn.... guy put his gameface on and shanked that one hard. With 50,000 on the line id take a few kicking lessons

[Philliez01]

I kinda feel bad for the dude, he either looks like an idiot or a Ringer. He gets the dough but it's like that 90-foot shot thing they used to do in the NBA, if I recall. They would grab the woman eating the popcorn with the baby feeding off her and try to get her to throw a ball 90 feet into the hoop.

[Shiver]

Jamarcus Russell has out-classed Brady Quinn. Even with better protection than I ever imagined, Quinn still looks like Eli Manning out there, with inconsistent accuracy and decision making.

[Beans]

what channel is this on

[bernbabybern820]

[Brodeur]

Jack Bauer is indeed the baddest man on the planet.

[Bem1]

is there like a 24 button in the booth. mention 24 bam little advertisement

[NickBam]

Russell throws a lot of short passes.

[JC the Savior]

Russell has no pressure on him and is able to toss it to wide open receivers.

[JC the Savior]

Russell throws a lot of short passes.


That's why his completion % is so high. His receivers do a lot of his work.

[JC the Savior]

Even LSUs Man Cheerleaders are big :shock:

[bernbabybern820]

wow unlucky play call

[bernbabybern820]

just when i was going to say when wil both teams learn not to kick

[NickBam]

Thats a fake Charlie.

I envy the guy with the pizza and the 2 beers.

[Bem1]

i want you to kill me

[The Unseen]

pitch me over

[smittyjs]

OWNED :lol:

[bernbabybern820]

thats a stick

[JC the Savior]

Nice drop

[RWFender1]

Russell must not be confident as a passer because he rarely throws past the first down line. He needs to stop throwing screen passes every other play too.

[NickBam]

Russell must not be confident as a passer because he rarely throws past the first down line. He needs to stop throwing screen passes every other play too.

You would think with Russell's arm and LSU's speedy receivers they'd go for the home run more.

[smittyjs]

Russell must not be confident as a passer because he rarely throws past the first down line. He needs to stop throwing screen passes every other play too.Did you not see that first pass of the game and that pass on the drive before half time?? You take what the defense give you.

[turninandburnin1]

Nice drop

That was a prefect throw too.

True, the only thing that has really stopped LSU's offense is LSU's offense.

[smittyjs]

Nice play there.

[bernbabybern820]

i really hate the play calling. the run has been pretty effective and the lsu dbacks are sticking well with the recievers why not just run it?

[RWFender1]

ND has a lousy secondary, I don't know why LSU isn't abusing them

[turninandburnin1]

Laron Landry just messed up some guy, didnt see who it was tho. Too bad it got a penalty.

[NickBam]

Probably sucks a lot giving birth to a 15 lb baby.

[SouthernPride396]

well, it's nearly impossible to tell with the perspective the screen gives us. My guess is that ND DB's are dropping way back to give the recievers large cushions and prevent the big play.

[NickBam]

well, it's nearly impossible to tell with the perspective the screen gives us. My guess is that ND DB's are dropping way back to give the recievers large cushions and prevent the big play.

Every team must do that because Russell doesn't seem to throw it deep often with his career long being 58 and most of it coming against weak competition.

[turninandburnin1]

lol pretty cool story on Bowe they just told, weird that he was legally blind last year. How the hell did he play.

[bernbabybern820]

notre dame needs to score

[JC the Savior]

Why don't they show LSU's GPA?

[The Unseen]

BOOM

[smittyjs]

There your bomb :lol: 8)

Damn nice throw by russell.

[bernbabybern820]

hmm let the qb debate begin

[SouthernPride396]

Damn, what an arm. Seemed like he just flicked it. Too bad he doesn't always put the touch he needs on those passes.

[The Unseen]

Ladies and gentlemen, THAT's why people love JaMarcus Russell as a prospect (of course, I don't...)

[Xonraider]

He just guaranteed being the #1 overall pick.

[smittyjs]

:shock:

[bernbabybern820]

He just guaranteed being the #1 overall pick.

would be better if moss is still on the team

He just guaranteed being the #1 overall pick.

JaMarcus did?!?!?!

Sure playing like it.

Ouch, finishes it off with an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

[Basileus777]

Karma with the pick. :D

Quinn can say
Bye Bye Oakland
And hello Matt Millen

[smittyjs]

that has to be the shortest player every :lol: , great picture of him standing next to Russell

[Basileus777]

These refs need to **** and call an even game.

[smittyjs]

:lol: BS call, Refs please just let this become a blowout, stop throwing the damn flags :roll:

[SouthernPride396]

Triple coverage and Bowe almost outran them all.

How was that not a late hit on Zibbi.

these refs. really. suck.

WHAT A FRICKIN CANON!!!!

[NickBam]

I wonder what a JaMarcus Russell pass where he looks like hes putting a lot of effort into it looks like.

85 yards in the air.

Mike Vick is just like that.

Flick o the wrist= 55 yards in the air.

let the debate of the qbs begin again!

[JT Jag]

And that's why people are skiddish about him.

[smittyjs]

What did i say about going deep and forcing it..... :|

[The Unseen]

...and there's why some do not love him as a prospect...

[JC the Savior]

Dumb throw by Russell

What did i say about going deep and forcing it..... :|
They have dropped 3 tds. it was just a matter of time.

[Basileus777]

What did i say about going deep and forcing it..... :|

They're trying to run up the score. I have no problem with that against ND, but I wish they'd do it correctly.

[snuff]

Here is my NFL comparision for Jamarcus Russel:

Wizard of OZ Scarecrow.

[JC the Savior]

Russell is going to make the same mistakes in the pros trying to force the ball downfield with worse WRs, against better secondaries, and with less time in the pocket.

[DonWoods33]

...and there's why some do not love him as a prospect...

Thats the first bad ball he's thrown tonight. The guy seems to have alot of touch and accuracy. Brady looks like he did in the first half of the Mich St. Game kind of spotty, someone said Eli Manning, not quite that bad but close.

41-14! And still time left for LSU to score again.

[bernbabybern820]

wow guys remember when it was close at halftime?

[NIN1984]

ND just can't play good teams

[Basileus777]

This will be the second straight bowl game that ND will allow 600+ yards plus of offense. Even Greg Robinson and Gunther Cunningham would blush at those numbers.

ND just can't play good teams

Yea, sticking to Army and Navy might be a good desicion.

Your the fella with the agenda. Does it look like hes playing pitch and catch at times tonight yes. Do you see NFL QBs miss throws, even with time, even guys wideopen yes. Has he hit most of those yes. Did he lay two 50yrd+ passes on the money yes. So state your point. Mr Brighteyes. If your trying to say its too easy to get a read him then just say so.

Miami had a down year, their program isn't ruined. Alot of it was because Coker sucks, he practically babysat Butch's boys to a National Championship. They'll be in the thick of the ACC championship race next year.

yea right, Notre Dame has recruiting advantages that most schools never will have
Freshmen will still make huge mistakes. I honestly dont think jimmy (overrated) clausen will be a great qb right away. Michigan, Michigan State and USC will give him trouble because of the pressure they bring.

[WildDude]

Im telling ya Weis will be one of those coaches who coach a great season but just simply cant win the big one

Dont start with Jimmy Clausen.

[IrishBrowns]

yeah once Weis gets all his guys in there we should be fine



but anyways, are there any legitimate defensive coordinators that are gonna be available in the off-season.


we need to fire our Defensive Coordinator, and give an absolute boat load of money to a defensive coordinator. We can pay our coaches more than anyone in the country there should be no reason for us to not be able to get a great defensive coordinator.

[snuff]

Once Weis gets all his men in there they will be good on offense and still suck onf defense.... Weis has recruited absolutly no one the last two years on defense, although he finaly got a few this year.

The only good defense of player he has recruited is Walls, and he hasn't looked good.

[diabsoule]

I knew ND stood no chance against LSU. Once again, a blowout loss proves that Notre Dame was OVERRATED!

[YAYareaRB]

Yessssssssssss!

[Jughead10]

yea right, Notre Dame has recruiting advantages that most schools never will have


Yup they have Jesus on their side.

They have huge recruiting disadvantages as well which is one of the reasons they can't compete with teams like LSU right now. When Urban Meyer was being interviewed for the job Weis got, the first thing he said was you guys need to lower your academic standards. Notre Dame wouldn't do it and now Meyer is in Florida. Notre Dame lacks serious athletes and it will always be difficult to find those elite speed guys that hold up to their academic standard compared to a team like LSU.

[MagnumGator]

So how does Weis get a 10 year contract and still have not beaten a top 25 team when in his first 2 years at Florida Ron Zook beat 4 top 15 teams and got run out of town?

Penn St. this year will be top 25 barely but will be top 25 after their bowl game.

[MagnumGator]

We'll see.

We'll see.

Oh they definately will be ranked. I think they are techinically 27 or 28 right now. With a win over Tennesee and losses to a few teams near the bottom, they will definately jump in.

[TPFKA#1SaintsFan]

It's nice to see two dominating bowl wins to start Les Miles' LSU coaching career.

It will be bittersweet if JaMarcus enters the NFL draft as expected. One more year and he could go down as the best quarterback in LSU history, and possibly lead us to another National Championship. On the other hand, I'm very eager to see Ryan Perrilloux get a lot of time at QB.

[Bem1]

well that ended well.

[RWFender1]

being a private school, notre dame can set any kind of guideline they want. i guess Notre Dame cares more about recruiting scholars than 5 star athletes to play for their football team...they should play all the ivey league schools instead

We got whooped last night, pretty good first half though. Not only is our D terrible, they play with no confidence, I'm glad Mike Richardson is finally gone, senior leadership is overrated when you suck. We needed to score at least 35 points to have a chance, and Quinn looked like he was trying to always make the big play instead of taking what LSU gave us.

Overall good season though, as the best programs show, one solid recruting class doesn't make a program. Weis looks like he's going to secure his 2nd top 10 class. It's going to be interesting to see what happens next season. @ Penn State, @ Michigan, and the other usual suspects, we're gonna take some lumps. At least the team will be young though, after 5 seasons under Weis, we will probably be a legit title contender, thats the difference between Weis and Ty.

U guys suck, u just schedule a bunch of easy teams in the season and then when u get to the bows ur like well what do we do here.

Is why Ive always hated Notre Dame.

i find it humerous...brady quinn rips up Army and Navy but he is scared to throw against a ranked team. Notre Dame schedules easy teams to ensure wins but it really ends up bitting them in the ass because they go untested facing big oppenents

Today we salute you, Mr. Delusional Notre Dame Fan. (Mr. Delusional
Notre Dame Faaaaaan!)


Season after season, year after year, you try to justify your absurdly
high preseason ranking. (Clutching at straws!)


You scramble to make futile attempts at damage control when the Irish
lose to a grossly inferior opponent (How'd Navy score fifty fouuuuuur?)


Inevitably, you'll bring up the past, and boast of National
Championships won 40 years before you were born. (Those were the
daaaaaays!)


You will point out that you have more wins than any other program as
though that is relevant to the current season. (Been playing since the
1870s!)


Go on, ignore that home loss to your archrivals in the regular season
finale and continue to believe that you'll defeat your bowl opponent
with striking ease. (LSU will win by thirteeeeeeey!)


So crack open an ice cold Bud Light, oh Emperor of Excuses, and take
comfort knowing that when you don't finish in the top 25, you'll be back
to number three when the preseason polls come out next year. (Mr. Delusional
Notre Dame Fan!)

haha, so true...

Actaully up to this year, they haven't had absurdly high preseason rankings. A couple of months back we researched it. People called Notre Dame constanstly overrated. And my argument was they weren't overrated. The polls always placed them accordingly, up until this year. If any team in the past has been overrated it is Michigan.

Just out of curiousity, how the hell was Notre Dame the national championship favorite coming into this season? Is it just because they returned Quinn, Samarjzdia and Darius Walker? Didnt people know their defense was atrocious?

[YAYareaRB]

I could go either way with Jamarcus Russell staying or going. It would be interesting to see Ryan Perriloux develope.

2) navy didnt score 54.... they scored 14
