Never been impressed with tacko...He's a big presence but he's no Shaq or David Robinson

I think his rep is mainly from defense

Tacko is not even their leading rebounder

Is he just a body out there?? It seems like if he wasnt 7'6 he wouldnt even be playing D1 Ball.

UCF is short handed right now, their best player is out with a wrist injury as well as Dawkins's son who transferred in for this yr. They should be 3rd best team in AAC and will most likely get in the dance. It's a good game for our sos. They are defensive minded so if we can get out and run we can handle them . Otherwise it'll be a grind it out game and we ll get to ft line alot.

Alabama's final five games before SEC play: UCF, URI, At Arizona, Mercer, Texas. Avery Johnson is creating calluses. And that's a very good thing.

If we win the next two, it'll be the first time we started 8-1 since the 2006-07 season.

Won't be easy. URI will be a tough one. They play Providence tomorrow.

I'd be really dissatisfied if we don't beat UCF though.

I'm going to the URI game so we better not lose that one or I'll melt

If we play even halfway decent, we should beat UCF. They just aren't any good. They're scoring in the 40s-50s most games. We're averaging like 83 PPG

If we can get to 10-2 in our OOC and beat OU in the Big12/SEC challenge I think we can get in by just going .500 in conference.

Yeah I agree with that. That would put us around 20 wins. Our schedule is just as tough or better than Vandy's last year and I think they got in with like 17-18 wins

Ya'll have the same problem Auburn does right? Rich football fans buy tickets just for the ticket priority + AU/UK type good games then don't bother to show up for any lesser games

Yes, and it needs to be changed to a penalty system if you're not coming to a set amount of games. I believe Byrne already said they're going to look into that while looking into their plans for what they'll do to Coleman.

Why not just let people electronically return unused tickets for a five dollar credit and sell them to the gp at the box office?
