God, I hate to say this, but I agree :confused:

Statistically, we were regular season SEC Champions in 1994 and 2008, as well. I like trivia.

You beat me to it. I see a defensive struggle. Bama 11 AU 4

God, I hope we win the toss and are able to defer. If we lose the toss and have to go on offense first I have this awful feeling that it will be a three-n-out.

I think we should get rid of the SEC Championship Game. It seems to be a liability these days, not a reward.

Someone mentioned having faith. I had faith in us following the Tennessee win. It seemed, to me, that we were improving. The South Carolina and OU games convinced me otherwise. If Auburn plays the way they did against Vanderbilt (even though they lost) we will not only lose to Auburn, we will...

The Good - We have an elite defense The Bad - The run game The Ugly - Too many attempts at gimmick plays, IMHO... Regarding those gimmicks, though, they are fun to watch. I used to be a "run often, pass rarely" kind of guy, but I've softened as I've gotten old. A good passing game is a...

The 1993 tie against Tennessee is the only one I felt decent about. After all, we had not lost to Tennessee, who is (for me) the most hated of our rivals. In general, ties are anywhere from meh to infuriating. Example of the latter is Notre Dame vs. Michigan State in 1966, which cost us a...

The Good -- Ty Simpson, for all the reasons mentioned elsewhere. The Bad -- Our kicking. The Ugly -- Pavia's attitude.

I will be curious to hear how our guys look in pre-games. It might be too early for them to be out there. Cannot remember. I have not been to a game since 2019. My recliner and 4K television are more comfortable than a seat in BDS.

After the Fla State loss, I was saying (as was Bob Baumhower, it turns out) that this 2025 Bama team bears a weirdly striking similarity to the 1975 squad, one I had the pleasure to watch in person while a student. I have a feeling that the embarrassment of the FSU loss puts us in the right...

I sadly agree.

I am far more interested in beating Tennessee. Auburn, to me, is just another opponent on the schedule on the way to the SEC Championship Game and the National Title/BCS/CFP game(s).* *None of which we will make this season.

I could not have scripted a worse outcome last night. I hope we get in because Bama is my alma mater and because I am afraid our players will jump ship if we don't. If we had played Indiana's schedule we would be undefeated.

My guess? Nothing, because the defense workers are conservatives and MAGA supporters. And here is something else about efficiency in the DoD: If we really are going to become more isolationist, do we really need the defense budget to be as large as it is?
