re: Alabama radio calls from OU
Posted by tattoo on 12/25/25 at 8:52 pm to Chili Davis
“allergic” as you say, for decades. From after John Forney had his stroke until today.
IMO, they should have a contractual requirement to give the down and distance and game time after EVERY play. The “color” stuff is fine as long as it does not interfere with the info. When we are listening to the radio we canNOT see what is happening. We depend on a radio crew that has failed us for most of 5 decades.
I know it can’t be true, but sometimes I get the impression that Chris is enjoying the fact that he knows what going on but is having fun not letting us in on his little secret, which is what is going on. But again, I know it can’t be true. He’s talented, articulate and clever, but what those who are listening want, even need, is real basic info such as time and score in BB and location, down and distance in FB, score frequently though less so. Speculation and quips are an add-on. We are not humorless, just serious.
I loathe UT but Mike Keith is the VERY best in the business. Even though not a Titans fan, I would sometimes listen to his call just to observe an expert do their job. He’s incredible.

Sherrell has been good on D.

I don’t remember or I would have included it in my first post. I did not recognize his name. The poster seemed to know a lot about him.
I think people are confusing “no billionaires in the state of Alabama” with “no billionaires from the University of Alabama”.

What did Jones look like?
A myth, the University of Alabama has billionaire grads according to a recent post. They named him and said he’s worth 5-15 billion. I don’t know if he cares about Alabama sports. The assumption is that there are others.
IMO, they don’t think Mich is the pinnacle, they just pretend.
They sure can’t can’t accept that a program in a “backward state like Alabama from 17th century America” is easily, far and away, the most accomplished in the sport’s history, with a recent run that changed the sport like it’s never been affected before.
Every program has had to adopt Alabama’s approach or be left behind. But you’ll never hear a word about it. More could be said.

He was bad for Alabama last year. I thought he was going to be great and would fit DeBoer’s need at RB better than Saban’s. But it looked like his heart was not in it at key points when he got the ball. He had a couple of long runs that distorted his stats but was med to bad most of the time.
He did not know - thus, the appeal to injuries after the game and promise that many would be available in the first round.

This OL is a decent pass pro OL. It is #5 in the SEC in sack rate, i.e., it is in the upper third of the conference, which means it is good relatively speaking. And that’s with multiple sacks being the responsibility of the RBs. Also, Alabama has faced most of the better pass rushing teams: Mizz, USCe, OU, AU, ?UT?.
Run blocking is another matter. They are not helped by the fact that the RBs are JAGs for the most part. Dear only got 3 carries, Hill 4, that’s 7 carries total for the RBs in this game. The OC and offensive philosophy is not pro run either.
There are many trolls, charlatans and “unwise” fans on this board.

I thought Finch was. I’ve forgotten his film, why do you not like him ?

I think Prentice missed his block which absolutely cannot happen. The QB doesn’t have time to read, must simply turn and throw depending on the WR to impede any encroaching DB. If he can’t block him he’s got to tackle him or anything other than letting him through. Milroe got the blame but it wasn’t his fault.

I don’t think it’s figured out - it’s lack of execution. Plays are there, Alabama is just not completing them.

An amazing thing is that Alabama fans out number AU fans in this state 2.5-1. Maybe it’s advertising dollars that AU owned businesses offer. I don’t know or maybe as someone else said, it’s laziness or arrogance on Alabama’s part. Maybe it’s decency or a sense of propriety.

You can always find an excuse.

Not true. They are definitely pro AU and anti-Alabama. Not saying they genuinely like AU, it may be simply because AU is an Alabama rival that they pump them up.

It doesn’t matter what the SEC says, and I don’t think Sankey gives a rip about Alabama. Whatever, he seems to lack courage and wisdom. I’m not sure anyone respects him, i.e., it won’t matter to those who matter.
