It's Meltdown Time! | BCS Championship Edition

One last shameful revel in the misery of others as we ride off into the sunset. Notre Dame may not have won the BCS, but their fans have won our hearts.

USA TODAY Sports

Special "Roll Tides" to lonemdg, *Name Redacted* AKA CJ, and those of you who didn't provide names for hunting down and submitting these meltdowns, and also to everyone who has contributed over the course of the season. Meltdown Time would have died if not for y'all's efforts, so give yourselves a pat on the back from us and know that you are appreciated. With that in mind, let's enjoy some Irish tears.

WARNING: There is vulgarity of every stripe ahead, including (but not limited to) dirty words, potty humor, and sexual innuendo. If you are offended by those things or just easily offended at all, do not continue on. You have been warned.


I have officially hit my breaking point on hearing about Alabama’s "superiority." For 44 long days, I’ve put up with it. But watching every single ESPN talking head pick the Tide has finally pushed me over the edge. I want Notre Dame to come out and punch Alabama in the mouth – not just for us, but for every non-SEC team that’s been branded as "inferior" or "slower" or "less physical." It’s time to end this damn streak, and it’s time for Notre Dame to sit atop the college world once again.

I think very few of us are really nervous. I know im not

still just can't believe it, can’t believe this is the year, for those of us like me who haven’t been alive long enough to see the last ND championship, it’s been a long wait, yet after following this team all year, there is no doubt in my mind they win this game, no doubt.

Desmond has only picked against us .. . oh, 10 times so far this year. F' him; I'm glad he went with Bama.

Bama looks scared. We don't

Barrett Jones looks diabetic.

We're just getting 'em into the Red Zone. Where we do best.

Actually I bet getting scored on like that will help ND settle down. Sometimes the best way to get over jitters is to let some of what you're worried about just happen to you so you can move on.

Hey guys, welcome to the BCS love with the SEC. Straight BS!!!

14-0 and we haven't even run the ball yet. ****!

This is flat out embarassing. We look like crap. Come on guys Man up! We can play offense, defense, out coached in 8 minutes. Here go all the people saying we told you so! Man Come on Manti, you are missing tackles and now missed the TE on the TD. Manziel stepped up, you have to also. This is not good. Come on guys! Man up. NOw we have 3.5 quarters to outscore them by 15.

Piss on the dog people and put out the fire This is HORRIBLE

Well fellas I'll tell ya what... The refs have already takin this one away if we can't overcome these mother......s we already lost!

I never thought we would come out flat like this. Alabama is not this good. We are just lifting up our skirts and letting them take what they want.

I can't believe I'm about to say this, but thank God I'm unemployed and don't have to hear all the heckling that tomorrow would bring if we lose... I can just crawl up and pretend we won.

Outmanned...outgunned...outcoached. This is pathetic and truly embarrassing. I'm not a chicken little typically but this game is going to be a route.

I want to punch Sabin in his stupid pompous face!

The best part of this *** rape is that they're going to replay it on espn classic for the next year.

This is the most embarrased I have ever been as an Irish fan.

Agree. 3-9 was nothing compared to this. Navy, Tulsa, Syracuse, UConn... nothing.

WHAT THE FVCK IS GOING ON HERE!!!!!

Nick Saban>>>>Brian Kelly and it's showing. Alabama has come to play. Notre Dame well...I'm not sure yet what they've come to do. If we ever make it to the NCG again under Kelly...whatever he did this time he should not do that and do the opposite.

Saban is the Devil, going for our throats

Not only is the defense getting embarrassed, but we can't even get a first down. Every single thing the SEC trolls and honks said has been 100% true.

i have no idea what to say. we're just playing like asshats and thats all there is to it

Welp... I'm glad I didn't let my wife spend $3K to take me to the game...

For the LOVE of GOD TACKLE SOMEONE...Anyone...Each Other...Something

Is it to late to deferr to next year?

Winning a BCS bowl against NIU or K-State is 100x better than this.

FUCKING COME ON

Oh God the secondary...

Lacy has zero fucks to give

lol, ND shitting themselves

how the fuck did Yeldon get that much

IT'S OKAY. YOU PLAY THE GAME FOR 60 MINUTES. WE ARE OKAY.

So why is Nebraska's defense playing in Navy tonight?

I knew we were in for this with Pac-12 refs..

lol the game isn't fixed. Pac-12 refs gonna Pac-12

PAC 12 REFS FUCKING UP THIS GAME

LOL, no one game should have all this refball

bad officiating....but if we can't stop lacy I can't fucking bitch....LET ME FUCKING BITCH DEFENSE GOD DAMN

nice heisman tackle there

HOLY FUCK WE TACKLED LACY

Lacy straight fucking me in the asshole

Damn, I figured ND would at least keep it respectable in the first half.

GO HOME NOTRE DAME YOU'RE DRUNK

just give lacy MVP now

DROPBACK TE'O

WHO TURNED ON THE BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIP?

THIS IS WHY THIS FUCKING GAME SHOULD BE PLAYED ON A GOD DAMN SATURDAY! ND WINS? I GET FUCKING WASTED! BAMA WINS? I GET FUCKING WASTED EVEN WORSE! BRADE HOKE COMES OUT ON A SCISSOR LIFT AND DOES A RANDY SAVAGE-ESQUE ELBOW DROP OFF OF IT ONTO BRIAN KELLY? I GET FUCKING WASTED AND GO TO THE HOSPITAL FOR ALCOHOL POISONING! AND I DON'T MISS WORK!

well this is over. anything else good on?

This is absolutely pathetic. Western Carolina probably played Alabama tougher than this.

Notre Dame needs a cheetah taped to their back.

Fucking tackling

How does it work

hey look, NDs best defensive player makes a TFL.

Manti.....that means "tackle for loss", just so you know. I don't want you to be the only one here who didn't understand.

Where the fuck is the coverage tonight?! Are they still in the locker room??

Someone say when the Rock is on Raw, this game is done.

can't wait to see Alabama get overrated as fuck after this after beating this pile of shit ND team.

so when does saban pull the starters?

HEY AT LEAST IT'S NOT 21-0 AT THE END OF THE FIRST

START OF THE SECOND THO

Nick Saban with a month prep time would beat Batman

YOU ARE DOING WORSE THAN MICHIGAN

bama fans, how could you root for this team against teams that aren't notre dame? this is just meansprited bullying

WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!?! Our defense/red zone defense mystique blown away in one fucking 3 minute drive for what seemed like 200 yards!??!?!!?

We're mother fucking frauds, guys, fucking frauds. It's just 14-0, but welcome to the LSU/Sugar Bowl again. FUCK

Fuck these inbreds and ex-slaves. I'd rather be a true institution of higher learning. We don't need this

Good Lord their running backs are unreal. Why couldn't we have had forced breeding back in the Civil War. I want guys like this on our team

Fucking Pac 12 refs. we KNEW they would get us back for that Stanford game. now they're costing us the title!!

I know the general counsel on campus and I'm calling him tomorrow for options. This game was fixed from the beginning. I want to know who was involved. This game will destroy the sport

Manti has to have money on Bama. No other excuse

never seen refs like this before. The investigation has to start tomorrow. CFB will never been the same after this.

How did we lose? We were so competitive against football powerhouses like Wake Forest, Navy, Pitt, and Purdue...

well when the whole team is related to each-other there's not much you can do

We've got the number 1 recruiting class going into next year. We made it to the NCG and that's something. Though we had Alabama to a standstill second half. I think the lads were just nervous the first half.

Yea Bama would have won either way but the fair catch interference penalty after the fumbled punt return was bogus, i haven't seen a penalty called on that play before with NO CONTACT since several years ago when they still had the 3 yard halo rule. ND would have got a FG at the very least there which would have prevented ND from abandoning their game plan so early but Bama still would have won 35-24.

nd would have beat osu,btw saban will get caught with his illegal recruiting,how do u always have the biggest and fastest where ever u go,hmmm i wonder,and mccarron is such a big baby,what an ambarassment,fighting with his center during the game when they are winning,like havent u scored enough but ur gonna cry bout 1 mistake,jeeeez,and crying during close games,really,grow up ,he wont last in the nfl
