Notre Dame / Alabama in Game thread . . . .

I hope that Ian Book has a trans-formative experience during the half time break. What do you tell the Notre Dame players at half time? 

Alabama live TT is 41.5, which is 3 TD's and the Over is favored.

2nd Half total is 31.5 

Field goal attempt had litterally nothing to do with total on FH

Alabama team total over 20.5 

bama -11 fh

Seriously man, I see so many posts that CFB and NFL is "scripted" or "fixed". Idiots..... There are 22 people on the field playing and all have to "be in on it" for one and second have to actually all pull off the scripted play???? Man, people that think like that should not be allowed to vote for any elections. Thinking the 22 players on the field and the other 80 standing on the sidelines are all honed into a scripted outcome is absolutely insane. 

Bama up 14, they're -11 to -10.5 FH  depending on where you got the line and the field goal didn't have anything to do with it? Your math sucks dude.

The ONLY thing that can even make logical sense to blame a "script" on might be the refs, coaches, and quarterbacks. A kicker could shave points by REALLY intentionally missing a kick too. A tipped kick though? Stop it.

@ricstone7

 Honest question why does every one have to be in on it? Just takes 1 player with a key role amd or a ref to kitterally change the out come with out ease.

@Ferguson_Funk

 Wow dude, okay, the total.... Still had to do with the first half spread, clearly, so my statement still stands. Don't be such a pain in the ass.

We live in a time when anyone and everyone is attempting to gain notoriety for themselves, write a book, get on TV, have hits on their webpage, be an influencer, IF FOOTBALL IS FIXED YOU'D HAVE CO CONSPIRATORS COMING OUT OF WOODWORK TO GAIN PUBLICITY AND/OR SNITCH

Coaches could be the most influential.

They could blame it on scheme or adjustments, but really tank a game.

But they get paid millions, so why get in bed with the mafia?

Side note: I think MAC coaches ARE mafia. 

The Over is in trouble.

Notre Dame are terrible

On another note, how many times do you think ESPN will show "The Hurdle" between now and championship game?

25, 50, 75, 100+?

Alabama has gone to sleep 

Trust me I get your point, I see posts about fixed or scripted games in football and basketball, college and pros. Every day. Half the games or more. Absolutely, I'm sure it's happened before with a ref or point guard, QB, or something. But to say that college football/basketball or NBA/NFL is rigged or scripted is just not rational thinking. I see it mostly in NFL and NBA, people just need to man up to the fact they places wagers on the wrong side and get over it and move on. If you have to make claims that these games are scripted stop gambling. I respect your response and post, just giving my two cents.

Aside from the nonsense, ND can make this a 7 pt game on this drive

Fucking bama. Why are they not pressing on the gas. 

What is Alabama doing!?

Bama does this. If it becomes 21-14 though I expect it to be 35-14 quickly

Seems like Bama wants to keep it close and not score

That was a horrible throw he could have run it himself for the first down

Over is definitely dead here. Oh well 

Irish were actually moving the chains what a stupid throw
