We don't know what losing two games in a season feels like anymore.


Well the SEC schedule makers have something to do with that. If A&M had Alabama's 2012 or 2013 schedule we wouldn't either. And we definitely won't this year, and after Bama starts the season 1-1 after a loss at Kyle Field to Sumlin(Sumlin has Saban's number it will be an easy win)... I don't think Alabama finishes strong and slips up somewhere else.

Top 5, Bama bitches about that crap - unacceptable.


So when Saban finished 6 in the final poll in 2008 you wanted to fire him?

Gumps be gumpin.

Sumlin has beat Saban once. Do you know what 'has his number' means?

Saban just doesnt lose to teams twice in a row. Ya might as well get ready.

Bama has been mega-stout on the OL starting in 2008. I don't see that changing this year.

Tier 1)

Alabama, Tennessee, and A & M

Not sure what the order will be, but those are your three best OLs in the conference and in America.

Tennessee's OL will return an ungodly amount of starts, most of these guys have been starting for 3 years already. Antonio Richardson is likely the best kept secret in the SEC. There's no doubt in my mind, and I think a mock draft will confirm this, that all five starters will be drafted next year. With Juwan James and Antonio Richardson being 1st or 2nd rounders, at LT and RT respectively.

Yeah UT doesn;t have much going for them next year, but Oline is the exception. We have the potential to have a top 3 O-line in the nation this year, with possibly all five starters being drafted in 2014 before the second round is over.

TOO BAD WE'VE GOT NOTHING ELSE GOING FOR US

The RBs are servicable, but not game changers.

So much focus in 2012 was on our passing game, that Tennessee's ground game often got overlooked. It was easily one of the tops in conference last year, and I expect that to carry over in 2013.

Just looking at the "talent level" at UT, meaning having players a lot of the big name teams were after, they should be pretty darned good. Should never have been that bad on D last year. Switching back to the 4-3 and having 10 starters back should help. Also, apparently Sunseri wasn't much of a DC.

I saw Saban make half time adjustments against Johnny only to see the Heisman Trophy winner rattle off a clutch 4th quarter TD drive, a clutch 4th quarter field goal drive and take a knee in Tuscaloosa to rub it in Saban's face. What is so far fetched about Sumlin doing that at again with a whole off season to plan, easier yet at Kyle Field? I think you should check in to a mental hospital if you don't think it will be an easy victory for the Aggies.

5th, lofty goals my little fellow, lofty. Some SEC schools make changes due to that. Think about it. Measure UTex the same way, still looking way up there.

Saban's record in away games speaks for itself. Alabama's last away loss was in 2010 against LSU.

Dude. Learn to quit while you are ahead. We get it you have JFF, and a good OLine. But you are on a public forum stating that a team coached by a guy who has 3 of the last 4 National titles will be an "easy win". Don't go full retard.

A&M brings back 3/5 of their best-in-the-nation offensive line from last year and replaces a senior at center with a sophomore with a pedigree and a sky-high ceiling. Obviously, they're the correct answer.

And there should have been another field goal drive in the third quarter if our kicker could make a fricking chipshot

What were their difficult road games between that and their upcoming loss at Kyle Field? Farout Field? Neyland? Vaught Hemingway? Wherever State, Kentucky and Vanderbilt play?
