On paper and just from everything thing we've seen this season, we obviously don't have a chance in hell of winning. However, is that not the type of game where we typically pull a magical win out of our arse? Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if we took a massive beat down, but I wouldn't be surprised if we played our best game of the year either. Maybe this is the game where Gus finally sobers up and recaptures the magic he's managed to piss away the past season and a half.

The only difference between the 08 and 12 teams that got their shite pushed in by Bama and this team is the fact that this team hasn't tossed in the towel yet.

For the first time in my life, i am thinking about selling my Iron Bowl tickets. Not because i dont think there is a chance we can win, but on the chance the coaches wont let us win. After watching that Georgia game, where we were in control of the game and the coaches panicked after the first sign of adversity, i lost faith in our coaches.
Hell, yesterday we ran the read option for the first time this season and lo and behold, it fricking works. Where the frick was this during the ENTIRE frickING SEASON. Or how about the fake punt? Pull out the fake punt against a shitty opponent when there are no consequences for the play not being successful. Maybe you should have ran a fake in, i dont know, the UGA game! The LSU game! or how about Ole Miss or Miss st? Or any game that actually matters. But no, we throw the ball vertically, run the read option and fake a punt against the worst team on our schedule. Great timing there coach smh.
But to answer the OP, yes we have a chance. Limit their running game, play tight coverage and create turnovers. On offense, we need to throw early and often. 40 yard bomb plays all night long. If they get intercepted, wgas. Just take the shots. If we dont take the shots, and play conservatively, we lose big

Are we allowed to say what we think or will we be tarred and feathered for being honest?

Well, last year's Iron Bowl was the one game of the season when Gus finally grew testicles.
If we don't score TD's, we won't win.
If we don't score TD's, we won't win.

We would have to take some chances to win this game. Fake punts, on-side kick, go for it on 4th down. All those things Gus is against. Gus is the opposite of a Riverboat Gambler.
Do we even practice special teams? They were money under Chizik because he put empahsis on them. Sad how they have fallen under Gus.

What about 11'

I think that's why most of us are frustrated with Gus. He got where he is by being innovative and taking some chances. The current Gus is none of those things. That's why I have a weird feeling that we have a chance simply because we have no chance. A Gus pulling out all the stops is dangerous.

If he doesn't call this game like we have nothing to lose, then frick Gus hard! I've already said that statement multiple times throughout the season, but there is no excuse to open up the playbook and play hurry-up ALL GAME!

I think Gus saw all along what he had w/JJ. So knowing pre season that we dont win more than 8 games even w/amazing luck he decides to play ULTRA conservative all season while waiting to unleash everything hes got in this game. He knows the only thing to sooth our weeping slits after a disappointing season like this is another miracle. So we gonna win 24-20.

You're being facetious right?

Would anyone be surprised though if he unleashed the offense the way he did in the bowl game prior to him taking the hc at Arky State? Remember after that game everyone was like wtf has that offense been all year.

we have NO offense.
there is no hiding anything.
one starting qb is inept, the other qb is hurt.
even if we somehow stop bama, we won't score
accept it

I expect a beat down. I don't think we have much chance of winning. I also expect nothing to lose Gus to make an appearance as well.

We will play well. Have a chance going to 4th quarter. Need breaks.
Posted on 11/22/15 at 5:26 pm to Blizzard of Chizz
I can't see us scoring more than once.
