    BAMA vs Kentucky TODAY @ NOON

    Good game and effort so far. Just can't win against UK unless Key has a dramatic turnaround in the next 12 min.

    Runners dropping the football before they cross the goaline

    That ball was clearly out, in my opinion. In any event, as everyone says, this has to stop. Can you imagine if this happens against UT or A&M? Just so crazy to even take the chance.

    No question that he dropped it before he got there.

    Saban says Tennessee is Alabama's biggest rivalry

    I'll register my disagreement, even though I understand the sentiment about Tennessee. Losing to Auburn wrecks the season in a way that losing to UT doesn't, in my opinion. But, as has been indicated here, a lot of one's perspective has to do with age and location. Younger fans have a harder...

    Weather forecast is bad: how does that affect both teams?

    This thread should be closed immediately after this post. Perfect.

    Empty Seats (Again)

    Not saying the sky is falling, either. I understand that. But as to why I'd choose to come to this game when I know the conditions, it's b/c I got free tickets and I don't assume I will again this year. I wanted to take my sons, I got some tickets, and then left mid-4th. I wish I had free...

    Empty Seats (Again)

    You simply can't expect 100k people to stay in the kind of heat we experienced Saturday. My youngest boy was ready to go about the moment that toe met leather. It was brutal in the upper deck. Yes, we could go to the concession stand every 10 minutes, but I don't have $100 to spend on drinks...

    SEC Network really building up Leonard Fournette

    I don't think there's any question that he is one of the best backs the SEC has seen in a long, long time. I don't have a problem with them hyping him. He's worth the hype. Having said that, it just shows how dominant our front 7 was last year. Easily one of the best defensive lines in college...

    The Iron Bowl Myth: A Great Rivalry Any Team Can Win

    Just a few in the last 25 years that were much closer than you would have thought: 1) 1997 - An inferior Alabama team had Auburn beaten and then threw it away. Literally. Moving on... 2) 2004 - Undefeated Auburn goes down 6-0 at the half but comes back to win 21-13. Alabama finishes the year...

    How many national championships could Saban have had?

    The key point is the talent to win it all, which CNS puts at around 8 teams. But, if you take him at his word on the enormous difficulties of fighting complacency with players who have won it before, such what-if exercises are almost inherently impossible from the start. If we win the 2010...

    Pick the score: Georgia vs. Alabama

    I'd suggest three or four factors that might lead to a lower score... 1) First start for Coker in a very hostile environment. I fear several turnovers. Receivers are being stared down and I think UGA has the LB corp and secondary to get a couple of picks. 2) Our general trajectory. We just...

    Pick the score: Georgia vs. Alabama

    He actually sees it backwards from what I do (same score, reverse teams). I really want Pete to be right and not me!

    Pick the score: Georgia vs. Alabama

    UGA 31 Bama 17 Just going by what I've seen the last few weeks. Our offense seems totally lost--not a dominating OL, poor qb play, poor wr play, poor play calling. I don't think on the road against a very good team is where it all suddenly clicks. Defense is great, but I think our offense will...

    Auburn vs Louisville

    Agreed. Throwing motion showed he made up his mind and then tried to stop the throw. Too late, though.

    Tell me what year Bama had a better starting three receivers?

    Last year. Amari alone made that receiving corp better, even though White was no slouch. In addition, Yeldon and Nudie out of the backfield were good. Beyond that, 2010 with Julio, Maze, and Hanks. Then 2012 with Amari, Norwood, and Jones. And probably every other year of the Saban era other...
