Alabama vs Ohio St. Championship Game

nolaegghead

I hate 'em both, but I hate Bama more.  GO OHIO!

Tonight, 8PM ET, if you've been living under a rock.

ESPN, so you're SOL if you don't get it. (you can subscribe tho)

Oh yeah, WHAT ARE YOU EGGING?

Hate's too strong of a word for Alabama but I sure don't like 'em.

I'll root for Ohio State but really a good game with a nice bourbon will fit the bill.

Oh, leftover Chili. Non-Egg division.

Gotta support the BIG10. 

O-H

Did some ribs and Mac and cheese yesterday as prep.  Looking forward to the game.  Hope it’s a good one.

It should be a good game.  Not really following the pre-game hype but I hear Ohio has had some benched players from either covid exposure or infection.  We will see.  Ohio looked good beating ND, but that's hardly a fair fight. I wouldn't put money on them, but I do hope they beat Sabin.

Not Egging tonight=leftovers. Tomorrow chicken thighs done with Texas Tandoori rub. Down to Royal Oak lump. 
As far as the game, I don't really care. I don't give credit to winners or losers during Covid Quarantine.

"hate" used in context as hyperbole. Like I might hate the DMV but I'm certainly not going to act on it.

Go Buckeyes. It is raining, spaghetti and meatballs.

I have no dog in the race, but hoping for a close game. Ribs currently on the egg and enjoying a good beer and stogie with my pup 

Tending the Egg is my favorite past time.

Just pulling for a good game. Not having Notre Dame involved should help in that quest, but I'm a little concerned about the health/availability of players for Buckeyes.

I took OSU +8.5 and the under. Not confident, but hopefully will keep me interested in the game.

Hoping OSU wins, or is that "The" OSU.  Never have understood why those folks insist on that.

No Egging for today, split pea and ham soup.

I hate green peas, but I love split pea soup.  Go figure.

So, you are split.

@nolaegghead are you intentionally calling the Ohio state “Ohio”?

Ohio State is down their starting nose tackle and one of their main defensive ends.  The other guys that are out are not as impactful.  Togai, the nose tackle is a big loss as he is a man eater.  Rolling steaks and just hoping we make it a game for 4 quarters at the least.  Go Bucks!!!

I will cheer for Alabama as I think Nick Saban in this day and age has been clearly the best in the game.  If he gets this one he moves to the solo top of the college championship mountain.  
Besides, he is only a couple of years younger and is getting it done btw with a head of hair   .

I forgot they were playing football this season. Guess me and everyone I know have been under rocks.

As a matter of fact, I haven’t watched sports in probably a year. What’s next to start baseball season?

Five-alarm spicy chicken thighs.

I don't care who wins.

It's a slam aimed at Ohio University.

The jalapeños count as a green vegetable right?

Not aligned with the D-1 football championship but this was on the menu:
Porter Road tri-tip: 
Out of the cryovac;

The reverse sear slow part:

Caveman to around 118-122*F:

Ran a bit long on some parts given the uneven thickness.  60 seconds, one side-45 seconds the flip. A bit suntanned finish:

But is was quite tasty.  Can't beat the crust.

we got a game!
