A&M - Bama

[GreatBagwellsBeard]

My wife's due date is a week from today.  Fortunately, I've already discovered that our hospital has TVs in every room.  She'll understand.

CBS will be pointing one camera at Johnny all game.  The Tebowization is now complete.  I hate being in the middle of an ESPN self-perpetuating story cyclone. 

BTHOA, y'all.

[MusicMan]

I hope Bama wins 77-0.

Bama's offense looks suspect.  The OL play has been rough, and they didn't even score at all last week.

And the Aggies just gave up 28 to SHSU and 31 to Rice.

Bama's OL is "suspect", but a hair above those two.

My 13 year old son greeted me this morning with - Auburn has a better record than Alabama right now.  First time in two years we have been able to say that.  I replied - only cause bama didn't play.

I think Auburn is better this year.  I'm rationalising based on WSU's win over the university of spoiled children.

Leave Saban out of this.

I'm really pulling for Alabama and McCarron to have a statement game. I've got nothing against Sumlin; I actually like him. However, and I think that even Sumlin would admit this privately, his QB has gotten too big for his britches.

Deadspin was calling "Johnny Football," "Football Bieber" a couple of weeks back.  Kinda liked the new moniker myself...

I agree - that made that week one win look much better to me.

Shit, I'd admit that.  But he's our idiot, and he always shows up ready to play, so we've got to ride this train until the wheels fall off.

I just hope that the Tide D puts a hat on his often.

Is that like his junk?

Typo. Meant to type "him." I hope that they punish him on every play.

And the Aggies just gave up 28 to SHSU and 31 to Rice.

Last year I thought we'd need to get into the 40's to have a chance to win; I was wrong obviously. This year I think we will need to get into the 50's to even have a chance, as poorly as our defense has played.

We have two defensive starters coming off suspension this week, which is a problem in itself.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

I get why people don't like him, and I do think he's a cocky immature punk, but I really like the way he plays football and am very impressed with his competitive drive. I hope they beat Alabama.

Same here. NOTHING can make me cheer for Alabama, except fucking Florida.

That's my general rule, but Manziel raises a certain special level of animus because I'm both confident and fearful that the kid will self-destruct on-field and really embarrass himself and a fine institution. He is a special talent, no question about that. And weren't you tickled pink this weekend with Florida dropping one to the Hurricanes? I was delighted. Driskell is a train wreck.

Will Muschamp is the most successful coach from Mack Brown's coaching tree.  Think about that.

[GreatBagwellsBeard]

What's wrong w/ Muschamp? He seems delightful.

[ybbodeus]

Fuck you.

Gonna pass.

My disdain for Gator Region predates Muschump and even Tebowski.  It began with Doug Dickey's tenure in 1970.

Remember that jewel Charlie Pell?

[geezerdonk]

How about the Old Ball Coach? I'm sure that he endeared himself to many during his tenure.

I will never forget what Spurrier said about Tennessee when Peyton Manning played there. Florida always seemed to beat them, knocking them out of a big-time bowl bid and causing Spurrier to say "Tennessee put the UT in Citrus (a reference to the bowl game to which Tennessee would be relegated)."

[juliogotay]

Personally, I've always enjoyed Spurrier.

Part of me does too.

I don't understand how anyone could be a CFB fan and not appreciate Spurrier on some level.

Then again, I flat out despise Barry Switzer.

He's a classic case of having made it almost to legal adulthood without ever being held accountable for his actions. He's such a talent on the field he's never been required to be a decent guy off the field.

I think he'll also be your classic Heisman winning QB that won't make it in the pros too, but that's down the road a while.

Doug Gottlieb, of all people, wrote a fantastic column on this.

Well said ... my sentiments exactly.

And to back it up, I plan to be in Tiger stadium come November for what I hope will be the SEC West Championship game.

The whole state?  What stamina!

They kind've make it easy.

I'm going to come into Baton Rouge to go to the Homecoming game against Furman and participate in Family Weekend.

My wife is an LSU grad and my son is a Furman grad, while I spent my high school years in College Station ... so those are the two games on the Tiger schedule I care most about.  My son may make it on one of his cousin's tix to the Furman game.

Am I planning to go to Tuscaloosa, make plaster molds of Saban and Bryant's heads, and then make a mint selling bookends to Bama fans?

Possibly.

No, no.  Mixed set.

Don't forget about all of their claimed national championships.

Really, the flaw in my plan is thinking that they have books.

I have degrees from two fine Universities in the great state of Alabama.  We have plenty of books and some of us actually read them.

If they are, I'm sure they're fastidiously done; Governor Wallace has strict rules about not coloring over the lines.
