BREAKING Sugar Bowl: Kansas State vs Alabama

[CoachJeff]

I seem to remember a whole lot of talk about who all would not be playing in the Citrus Bowl vs. Michigan in 2019. And, if I recall correctly, the only opt outs were Trevon Diggs and Dre Kirkpatrick

Kirkpatrick last played for Alabama in 2011. You're thinking of Terrell Lewis I think.

Do we have any leftover gear from playing dem Utes in '09 to don as sackcloth and ashes?

All of those shirts were shipped by secret container ship to Djibouti

Were you the guy that was arrested inside Krystals after the Bama-LSU BCS game?

Nope.....I don't do McDonald's.....in any town.

I took a look at one of the KSU message boards. They are awfully optimistic.

Wouldn’t you be going up against a Petey defense?

I think Bryce and Will both play and here's my reason, remember last year's press conference after the national title game and coach commented on their leadership

Here is one thing I have noticed about Bryce's leadership. He is a very collegial, quiet, encouraging kind of leader. He runs ahead at the end of the first half and high fives every player on the way to the locker room.
When a player screws up and hurts the team, however, Bryce rarely gets in a guy's face and lets him know he has let his teammates down. Tom Brady does this all the time. Bryce does not. Much more positive and uplifting.
This team has a bunch of emotional marshmallows, mentally weak and soft, grossly undisciplined at times. Sometimes a young man needs a boot in the pants. Bryce does not seem to be the kind of leader to give his peers a boot in the pants and the team reflects that approach.

 

[Tidewater]

Wouldn’t you be going up against a Petey defense?

Heck, I would be.
The inner soundtrack of Pete: "What's the stupidest defensive play we could call in this situation? Let's do that."

They were voted permanent team captains. How could someone accept that kind of award from their teammates and then abandon them for the bowl game? Remember, this will be the last game that a lot of guys get to play wearing that uniform. You are going to just abandon them?

Both Will and Bryce are going to get paid handsomely no matter what happens in that game - even if they get injured. Their draft stock will not go up because they get a better 40 time or bench press more reps, so they do not need time to prepare for the combine.

. I find the idea that guys can’t play a bowl game on Dec 31st because they have to prep for a combine the last day of February and a draft at the end of April to be completely laughable. Especially when these guys would definitely have played if they still had a chance at a title.

If players are too scared to get injured to play in one bowl game, they should have quit on the team after Nov 5th instead of wasting everyone’s time.

Alabama Football Starter Announces He's Transferring

Alabama offensive lineman Javion Cohen is apparently ready for a change. Not long after learning that his Crimson Tide wouldn't be participating in the College

Don’t let the door hit ya. Starters transferring is cancer.

 

[TexasBama]

the only legit reason not to play in the bowl game

He needs to employ the George Costanza method.

 

[Ledsteplin]

There is talk of Prime hiring him as DC. Lord, I would consider that the greatest Christmas present ever. The only way to ever be rid of him is for him to leave on his own. Saban is NEVER going to fire him

Who's available that would do better? There's always the risk someone new might do worse.

 

[We_are_Bama]

I've been hearing that Mack Wilson and/or Tony Brown may opt out

If the barn can give Freeze a clean slate, we can do the same for Pruitt

At least Kessler's gone to the Vols

 

[Probius]

The game is on Dec. 31st, not new years day

I wasn't even thinking about New Year's, I just know a lot of people get drunk at football games. Many tend to think of football games as a portal to their youth or an excuse to act like college students again and get drunk like Cooter Brown.

 

[JayBama_in_PCOLA]

Sadly we might get RG3 or beth mowins.

Both

If the barn can give Freeze a clean slate, we can do the same for Pruitt

And tell the NCAA to stick it.

I've been hearing that Mack Wilson and/or Tony Brown may opt out

According to Joe Tessitore his name is Mack Williams!
Get it right!

Facts - Saban 1-3 in Sugar Bowl at Bama. I expect our team will have about as much energy and desire as the 2008 team versus Utah. K-State will be highly motivated. And K-State plays a physical "fist-fight" brand of football. For unknown reasons, Saban no longer cares about physicality - at least that's what we've seen on the field. Take K-State and the points. In fact - take them even if it is a pick'em.

I hate to say it but I think you're correct. Saban would rather be out recruiting. Shoot, I remember the 1990 Fiesta. Stallings got his butt handed to him. But, we hauled in a tremendous class!!
