I would make that deal, seriously. Instantly allow all injured players to be healed. I think Bama has far more injured big time players. Really. I understand Braxton and JT are great players, but only one will be on the field at a time. Kenyan Drake is a nightmare matchup , so is Ardarius Stewart. Drake is Bama's most dynamic RB. Think Reggie Bush skill set. Neither will play. Alabama has had a ton of other injuries this year, biggest reason for the inconsistent play. Let's hope for an injury free , hard fought game

Throw in Noah Spence and I make that deal in a heartbeat.....the thought of having Spence and Bosa on opposite ends of that dline is scary good. But, it ain't gonna happen and we both gotta go with what we got.....looking forward to a good one

Dude I'm usually a worrier too but 'we GOT THIS' I'm telling you. Coach has never said TJ isn't playing just that he won't be depended on to carry the whole load by himself. It might be run Henry 1st then TJ...then Fowler....then Tyren

We are more talented from top to bottom. But the key thing is the guys motivation behind the scenes. They remember last year's feeling at this same exact site. They heard comments trickling down from Ohio beginning in 2012.

This is Redemption....This is making a Statement. This will be ND 2012 level good. Sit back and enjoy and this is coming from someone who almost NEVER pumps sunshine. Our Guys want this BAD.

Good morning all TideFans. Here's to a great day of football and end the night with a great Bama victory to make next stop Dallas, Tx.

All six guys on Gameday just picked 'Bama even including Kanell saying we'd win 'comfortably'.

Happy New Year Everybody!!

I picked us to win this game on Dec 26th by a score of 45-10 in the prediction thread.

I've watched all the other Bowl games and thought about and.....I STILL say we GOT THIS 45-10. ROLL TIDE!!!!

I picked 84-10, but that was a joke . My prediction is forthcoming thinking 38-24 range

Haaaaaaaaaaappy New Year from Canada fellow TideFans!!!

Have been sick w the flu all week, but had to go to the office nonetheless, plus am flying down to Orlando early tomorrow morning, so have ab out a million things to do today...

Fortunately, this has all made the wait for the game easier...

Am getting as pumped as my flu-riddled body will let me....

Tide gear will be packed and ready to go.

And here's hoping that tomorrow's early reveille will be less painful following a big Bama win tonight!!!

Rolllllllll Tide everyone!!!

I have enjoyed chatting with you kind folks these last few weeks. I've appreciated the way you treated an opposing fan. Thanks for that.....

It's game day, we have an uphill challenge to be sure, but this is a very good team, well coached and playing with a chip on their shoulder and fully understand the magnitude of the challenge....they will compete and I expect a helluva game.....good luck to your boys! Go Bucks!

Thanks for staying civil. Sometimes it is hard in a Bama Bias climate. I know sometimes I get agitated and it shows. Especially with rival fans, but also with our fan. Good luck to you and your team.

One thing I want to see today is our DBs commit PI when they're beat on one of those 30-40 yard passes. Take the 15, if you've lost the ball. It's been frustrating to watch...

.

Perhaps CNS wants to run Big Henry for a while to soften up the defense and then let loose TJ on them. Then run some Fowler and then some Tyren. Alternate Big, strong and pounding with Quick, darting and elusive and see what cooks from that recipe. As usual, I'm nervous. But I'm nervous no matter who the opponent is. I was nervous against OU last year. I was nervous against Ole Miss this year. I was also nervous against WVa, A&M, FLa, etc., etc.

Roll Tide!

I'm betting it will be a replay of the SECCG where we got the ball in Amari's hands early and often and in multiple ways.

briancm · Jan 1, 2015

Suspense is killing me. I sure hope we play well tonight. Roll Tide.

I think Coop will have a great day too....and I can't WAIT to see the dumbfounded look on Joey Galloway's face.

Problem with that scenario is that Henry is not really a power back. He's just the biggest scat back I've ever seen. If you want to pound them, hit them with several Fowler runs. He's the real power back. I also hope to see a good bit of Jones also, particularly if TJ is hobbled, which seems likely...

Gameday crew picks

MOAN · Jan 1, 2015

I was thinking before the bowls started this game was going to be tougher than the experts think but after yesterday and watching Auburn, I am even more convinced of that. This is not yesterdays Ohio State team. Thinking the winner of the BAMA-OSU game plays Florida State now even though that game is played on the west coast. But that is what makes this fun the unknown!

Roll tide roll my fellow Bama brothers and sisters!!

Ole Man Dan · Jan 1, 2015

My DA Brother-In-Law grew up a TOSU fan.
Looking forward to putting him 'Back in his place'...
