Maybe. We will see.

We do get a nice rest before welcoming Bama to Death Valley. Same can's be said for Alabama.

We have beaten the shite out of everyone we have played, so its safe to say that we could be "dominant".

I was just fixing to say this. No team has been more dominant than 'Bama. IF we are just going by what has happened thus far in the season.

Kinda like SC was gonna dominate us last night. You just don't know is what I am saying. Likewise, we are capable of dominated bama. No one thought SC would dominate UGA a few weeks ago. I don't indict the classy bama fans when I say this, but I swear alot of you guys are way too arrogant. I've never seen a southern school with some fans that have such an arrogant, New England yankee mentality.

I predicted LSU to win. South Carolina always plays like shite on the road. And I never said that Bama was going to "dominate" LSU.

Sorry, but I disagree.

It was UGA, dude. They are always good for a shitty perforance on a big stage at least once a season.

I'm not being arrogant, I am being a realist. I'm sorry that you don't realize. Deal with it, dude.

I think some of us aren't on the same page.

If you want to say that no team has proven that they are dominant, then I would agree with you. If you have a loss, or if you have not beaten a team that we can clearly see is among the better teams in the country, then you have not PROVEN you are dominant.

But just as Alabama has not proven dominance, you also can't claim that it is clear that they are not. Alabama has dominated every team they have faced. Michigan is not a top 8 team and Arkansas is not a top 8 team, so beating them handily is not enough to claim Alabama is dominant.

To most of us, making the statement "no team is dominant this year" is the equivalent of saying that every team in college football has been shown to have a major weakness. Alabama has not been shown to have a major weakness. We will see over the next few weeks.

No, I was not kidding, but you are getting upset over my opinion, and I was just pointing that out.

Bama leads the nation in every major statistical category on Defense, so I'd say we're dominant. This is the second year in a row we've done this.

No, but the game will never be in doubt for Alabama. We never trailed you last year, and we play BETTER on the road than we do in BDS.

But we haven't played anyone worth a flip. Same argument they used against us last year.

WTF are you talking about. I said IF we take what has taking place thus far. Are you off your rocker? There hasn't been a more dominant than 'Bama. Granted we haven't had any tests, thus far. But we've dominated every game so far ?

As far as the yankee mentality? what the frick are you talking about ?

And I could understand the argument about QBs being out if the secondary wasn't playing the ball so well whenever it was thrown up in the air. In 2010, against Kent State and again against Penn State, you could see trouble brewing in the secondary. There were wide open guys and QBs were picking apart the zone. Mallett enjoyed great success against us and Brantley had a little bit of success, too. This year, with the exception of the blown coverage and slip plays against Michigan, you haven't seen a break down in coverage at all. That secondary is good but it is true that they haven't been properly tested yet.

Let them say it. UM is a good team who has lost to two top five teams.

Arky was in meltdown mode, but they still had a shite ton of TALENT on O. Cobi Hamilton, Chris Gragg, Alvin Bailey, Knile Davis, Dennis Johnson.

Ole Miss is also a very solid Offense this year.

look at all of Ala's issues

Ala has yet to throw an INT

Ala is perfect in the redzone

Ala has not allowed more than 2+ TD’s in 20 games/No team has reached 300 yards in 20 games/Under 100 yards rushing 20 straight (under 50 yards in 12 of those games)

Ala has won by 21+ppg in 16 of last 20/won 10 of those games by more than 30pts/avg margin of victory is 31ppg in those 19 games/won the last 9 games by 19+ppg

Ala has won 54 out of 60

Jeremy Shelley is perfect on year in FG’s

Ala has not trailed at end of 1st half in 26 straight

Ala has a 112-0 edge in points off of turnovers going back to the LSU 1/9 game


This years Alabama team is the best college football team I have seen in a decade. They are so dominant in all phases that I don't really see them being challenged this year.

We could put up 500 yards and we would still likely lose by 30 just like everyone else. Alabama is just that fricking good.

However, I've always wondered what would happen if you could pair a powerhouse defense like yours with a high powered offense like ours though. I wonder why that hasn't happened yet.
