These guys have absolutely no credibility due to their Auburn fandom.

We live in an upside down world when people like this are influencing the way we think. These people are literally no different than us who post on boards like this.

I honestly don’t want anyone to pick us. Makes the win that much better.

I just watched the Big Ten Championship and I didn’t see anything from that game that makes me think we can’t beat Indiana.

If Miami can get any kind of offensive production, they will beat OSU. Sayin was shook because of the pressure.

One thing I forgot to add, Gus Johnson and all Klatt are the worst duo to ever announce. I would rather have Beth Mowens and Danny Kannel.

I hate Klatt. That dude is another Bama hater who thinks that we have absolutely no chance. And Gus Johnson is as bad or worse than Tessitore and Palmer.

One of them picked Bama to win a NC preseason and I think Cone is married to the daughter of a Bama player so I’d actually argue they were more objective to Bama this year than some former players who are part of major media outlets.

As someone who started listening to them this season I was concerned the brothers were going to need a mental health referral late season as the Auburn collapse happened, to say they didnt handle “the fall of Freeze” well is an understatement, although I’m sure they were playing it up for clicks to a degree. Some high level meltdowns for sure.

The constantly changing forecast for when and how much rain is going to play a big part here. Looks like rain is inevitable in the morning, but the forecast for kickoff and later is looking pretty clear with some scattered showers. Field and ball will certainly be wet, curious to see what that does for both teams.

Not to mention this hasn’t been some peak Saban joyless murder ball season where to pick against Bama seems like trolling for clicks.

We can’t even run the ball, we feel more like an underdog scratching our way to wins than some Goliath bullying everyone each week. Picking against Bama in 2025 at times is just being objective when we can’t run the ball at a basic level and we’ve already lost three times.

As of right now, from 10am-4pm it looks like an average of about .04'' of rain per hour, which is extremely light rain/drizzle.

Here's what .06'' of rain per hour looks like (so our forecast (right now) calls for less than this):

For the most part I agree with this but I get annoyed when people discount strength of schedules and the grind. That’s why we’re losing solid OOC matchups during the regular season and getting cupcakes instead.

Yeah I saw that. It’s supposed to rain heavily in the day or two leading up to Thursday, including about half an inch Thursday morning. I’ve always heard the Rose Bowl draining systems suck arse, so hopefully the field is covered and stays covered until two hours before kickoff.

I found it interesting how often Mendoza got happy feet against Ohio state and started running around in semi clean pocket

Yeah, he did get a little antsy. I think we can make him feel pressured like OSU did and take advantage of their struggles in the red zone. If we can get 20 points, we will win.
