Alabama 24
Oklahoma 23
Alabama 36 Rushing Yards

I noticed at the bottom of the screen they show St. John’s with six fouls, but they never showed how many fouls have been called on Alabama. The announcers finally had to acknowledge it because it was obvious.

One of my childhood heroes.

Alabama is unique in that we maintain the traditions or the brand as Saban used to say. I love it.

I saw what Pavia did, but #19 for Texas came in and pushed his teammate (#17 the tackler), in the back while out of bounds. This made it look like that #19 was at fault.

I was at the 1979 game where we fell behind 17 to 0 before scoring just prior to half. We came out in the second half and gotta stop somewhere around the 35 or 40 yard line on the Tennessee side of the 50 with a Thomas Boyd sack. I was watching through my binoculars and listening to John Forney call and as Boyd sacked Jimmy Streeter Forney is calling the game saying for the first time today the Redwood Forest has risen to the occasion! We went on to win 27 to 17. The crowd was going crazy and I lowered my binoculars and looked around me and there were these rich people in the alumni section between the 40 and 50 yard line press box side at Legion field in tears. They were hugging each other and the emotion was flowing. I knew right then we were gonna win that game.

If Brent Key keeps winning at Georgia Tech he will be in demand, if he wants to leave his Alma mater.

If you want to have a good laugh, sync the Bugg radio broadcast with the tv broadcast.

Buggs dragging their feet substituting causing Georgia to get delay of game. That is an unfair rule! Bugg coaches were laughing.

I was in the third grade when we played Nebraska in the 71 Orange Bowl. I was so young that I had never seen Alabama get blown out. I was so much Bama that when we went back to school and the teacher was asking each student what their favorite Christmas present was I said, “My Johnny Musso jersey.” (I had gotten a go cart that Christmas. My parents somehow knew what I had said before I got home! I think my dad actually liked it.
Anyway, for you young guys on here please understand that we can’t compare time periods. But when the actual game was played, 71 Nebraska was incredible. The closest thing I can compare it to in a championship game was Alabama’s dominance over Notre Dame in 2012 or when Oklahoma beat Florida.
