they played the clip of Saban from "Hey Coach" and all 3 thought it was a great motivational talk for the players and the fans alike.
Then they broke down the rest of the season, including the SECCG and how to beat BAMA. Talked about spreading our defense out and making the LBs and secondary play spaces. Said florida is the perfect team to do that.
Said oddsmakers ALREADY have us as an 8 point dog if both teams win out. And if we were to win the SECCG,they already have us as a minimum 7 point dog to any Big XII team. Interesting......not surprising, but interesting nonetheless.

Theoretically, I understand their point. Everyone thinks we are a big physical defense with moderate but not good or great speed. Therefore, if you spread us out then you can make plays on us in space. The problem with this thought process is we actually have very good team speed on defense.
Arkansas tried to spread us out and it was a disaster for them. Not comparing Ark. to UF but we have plenty of speed and discipline to play in space.
So, it just ain't gonna work, aight.

I have never seen a #1 team get so little respect. I guess we have been winning with smoke and mirrors. I can't wait to make those clowns at ESPN shut up.

I was worried early in the season when Bama was getting so much love, but now I like the fact that no one is giving Bama any respect.
I want these young Bama players hungry.............
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
When Bama has been good in the past, and not gotten much respect from the college football world. Bama has step-up to the plate, and showed the world.
That Bama is for real...........

A few things to remember
These EXPERTS picked at the start of the season AuBarn #10
They picked Clemson Where ? 9 or 11
They picked Bama 24
In 1992 Nobody was giving Bama a chance to beat Miami
Anyone remember the score of that game?
Don't let the So-Called Experts worry you ----RTR

Exactly what I have been anticipating. I will be all over the moneylines in both of those games heavy.
I was peeking in over on the Barn board and was surprised to read some many posts wishing Tubbs could generate Sabanesque passion! I was encouraged to find some rational Barners.
Seriously, that clip does make me want to tackle someone!!
