Well, I guess we'll have to wait and see who wins. My theory is the people who talk shite the most during the week do so because they know they won't be able to talk shite next week.


This alter is all about the pregame smack / post game ban when it all goes to hell.

We are going to look much better on offense than our last two games.

I've been watching a lot of tape on our offense last few games and this is what i believe will happen.

Nico throws for around 300 yards and we get over 180 plus yards on the ground. That should be good enough to win by 10 points plus depending on how well our defense plays.

Things are clearly coming together for Nico a little better each game and Bama's defense at home is the perfect game for him to show out against a little finally.

Help me out here. Is it better to lose to Arkansas and almost lose to Florida, or lose to Vanderbilt and almost lose to South Carolina?

You might want to hope he goes over 200 yards rather than predict 300. His highest yardage total other than the UT Chattanooga game was 211 against NC State. Every other game was less than 200 yards (including the bowl game last year).

173 vs Kent State
194 vs OU
158 vs Arkansas
169 vs Florida
151 vs Iowa.

He hasn't shown himself to be a very prolific passing QB.

This year? They are the same. Arkansas = Vandy in record. UF=SC.

I'm very well aware of all of his totals.

But we need a bigger game from him this time in the first half especially to open up our running game from the get go.

He's very capable of coming through with a big performance if the oline holds up.

Almost every big splash play from him this year rather from throwing deep or a big scramble, has been called back due to linemen up the field and/or holding calls. Difficult to find and maintain a good rhythm like that and a lot of it was from having to play on the road the entire first half of the season.

He played very well at the end of the UF game and was clicking the first drive as well before putting the ball on the ground.

The difference being Tide folks aren't happy about a 1-1 outcome, where as, Vol fans are right at home with it.

Not at all. We expected to be undefeated this point of the year. We have to win out from here on out.

All I'm saying is I wouldn't trade records, teams, history or basically anything with Tennessee.

I see some Alabama fans upset about DeBoer and then I look over at teams like Tennessee and Auburn and I remind myself, well it could be worse for damn sure.

It is honestly shocking how mentally deficient Vols fans are. I mean, the fact that they're allowed to walk around unsupervised and operate motor vehicles is an outrage and something should be done.




That just can't be true. I've heard they all live south of 30A.

Neither situation should make anyone feel confident, yet here we are.

I think Alabama has a shite ton of talent, but they also lack focus from game to game. They will be focused this week, and therefore they will steamroll you.

If Bama is focused, you’re exactly right. The “if”, is what’s concerning
