In previous seasons – specifically the Cam comeback of 2010, the Kick Six of 2013, or last year’s unexpected but ultimately explainable upset in Jordan-Hare Stadium – there had been an aura of significant concern about that particular year’s Auburn team, or a glaring shortcoming regarding Alabama’s […]

Thanks Jess, have a great Thanksgiving weekend.

Thanks Jess. What a way to end the season as usual on top of your game. Looks like those that are probably out will play. Damien sparingly though. It’s seems like Josh Jacobs is the best of the bunch anyway.

Thanks, Jess. Nice write up. I think my score prediction was also 38-20. I hope Bama comes out injury free and that the weather is nice (and the field conditions).

Have a great Thanksgiving!

Thank you for the write up. You have peaked my interest in who the coach was that questioned Gus' play calling in 2011 though.

"The game isn’t in Auburn, where weirdness is born, fertilized and cultivated into something so bizarre it begins to appear as if it should have been scripted by William S. Burroughs."

What I wouldn't give to have the ability to write like this...

Great insight and analysis as per usual, Jess...

Yes. For it to be an infamous story, I never heard about it.

Thanks for the preview.
I sure hope Harris , Brown and Leatherwood are ready to go.

“......led to a now-infamous (and profane) challenge from an Alabama assistant across the field to Gus Malzahn about his play-calling.” I thought I was about as big of a fan as possible, but I must not be because I’m not familiar with this infamous story! Can someone please enlighten me? RTR.

Ill take it.

Best darn game breaker downer that I've ever known and glad you are on my team

BamaDMD · Nov 21, 2018

Jess, you are a major highlight of my week. Thanks for all you do. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

78Alum · Nov 21, 2018

Thanks again, Jess. Great job as always. I am hoping for even a bigger blow-out and covering the spread. However, an 18 point win? I'll take it. Roll Tide!

I was hoping to gain some enlightenment from the messages after reading Jess' preview. I guess everyone else is perplexed by this as well. Would love a little more explanation about this. Roll Tide!!

I was wondering that myself. I think he's referring to the time Scott Cochran invited Malzahn to "Run another trick play, [kind sir]!"
