The championship game always seems to start out slow. At least in the second quarter I saw a lot of the players calming down and getting back to doing what they’re used to. ---

Between Oregon and Auburn, they scored the 6 pt touchdown, the 3 point Field Goal, the 2 point conversion, the 2 point safety, and the one point conversion. All in the second quarter. I wonder how often that happens in a football game, let alone one quarter. ---

I am Auburn fan, but I don’t like Fairly. Can a player commit unlimited ‘personal fouls’ and not get ejected out of the game? ---

Auburn has left 14 points on the field now… can’t keep doing that. ---

Great stop by Auburn. ---

Helluva stop by Auburn there. Chip prob should have kicked the FG, but I can’t blame him for going for it. ---

Say what you want about Fairley, but he’s the MVP right now IMHO. ---

Terrible sequence of play calling by the Ducks. They called that same stupid inside handoff like 5 time in a row. Try rolling out, for fuck’s sake, This is college. Run the option. ---

One thing’s for certain. Oregon is better than Auburn at recruiting cheerleaders! ---

Auburn is letting Oregon stick around. You just don’t let a puncher have a chance. ---

There was no shortage of pretty woman at Auburn University in the 1980’s. IMO, the best in the SEC and I went to games at each of the 10 Universities during that era. (it was 10 schools in the 1980’s) ---

Instead of praying for a tie, they’d be driving for the lead right now and possibly the win. Horrible call. Obviously it wasn’t impossible to stop him. ---
