Hating on the $EC - Mostly Alabama (and a little Georgia too)

[Cody_Russell]

How bad will Butch Jones lose today, that is the question. 45-10 Bama? Should be worse, but maybe its closer early on with a 17-7 Bama lead ... then Bama just takes over.

LSU vs Ole Miss sounds like the 2nd most entertaining SEC game today. Rooting for Ole Miss to pull the upset. Shae Patterson, former 5 star QB, has been hot.
Kentucky vs Miss St and Auburn vs Arkansas could be good games, but meh. Minimal impact when it comes to the big picture.

Bama will struggle to win by 20.

Alabama's toughest stretch is coming up: LSU, at Miss State, at Auburn, and with success in those games, vs Georgia in the SECCG.

We're not as good as our reputation. Take yesterday for example. It was 7-0 until a few minutes before the half. Tenneseee had some mental breakdowns and lets us score twice in three minutes to give us a respectable halftime score.

In the second half, after their 97-yard pick six against us, they got the ball on a fumble and appeared to score a play or two later. They were lining up to kick the PAT when the booth buzzed in and reviewed the TD. He was actually down on the 6-inch line. So, the Vols had the ball with a 2nd and inches in the shadow of our goal post. Their right guard was flagged for a false start and now it's 2nd and goal from the 5 and a half. We held and got the ball on downs.

Anyway, we won big at home, but any competent team would have dealt us fits. LSU, MSU, and Auburn are all much, much better than Tennessee, and two of those teams get us at their house. Then, if we win out, Georgia in a "neutral" site (Athens is about an hour from Atlanta).

We have a lot of banged-up players, a couple of linebackers out for the year and Da'Shawn Hand has been riding the pine for a month with a strained knee. His back-up, Buggs, is limping like Tiny Tim going to fetch a Christmas goose for Ebenezer Scrooge.

Gentlemen, Bama is in trouble.

Hahahaha. You crack me up

Just a simple purveyor of truth and wisdom.

Wait. Did Georgia beat Tennessee by a greater margin in Knoxville than we did at home?

Yes, yes they did. Need my sackcloth. Someone fetch me some ashes.

Lane Kiffin has already won more games this year (4) than Florida Atlantic has finished a season with since 2013.

Yesterday his Owls beat North Texas by 38, had 37 first downs and OVER 800 yards of offense. FAU did not have to punt in the game.

FAU has no tradition, inner city HS-like facilities, and has been historically bad. If Lane keeps going, he'll have a better job soon.

A child born on this date in 2006 would be celebrating his 12th birthday. His entire life, Tennessee has never beaten Alabama. Over 4000 days. The last time the Vols beat Bama, George W. Bush had more than two years left in his presidency. There was no such thing as an iPhone. Justin Timberlake's SexyBack was the number 1 song in America. Bo Schembechlar, Eddie Robinson, and Red Auerbach were all still alive.

Bama might lose a game? Who before Georgia is going to beat them?

[AlabamAlum]

In order of danger:

@Auburn
LSU
@MissState

Is Bama better than those three teams? Yeah, but that doesn't always matter. Bama was better than Ole Miss in 2014 and 2015 and better than Auburn in 2012 and LSU in 2011.

FPI gives us a 43% chance of winning the rest of the regular season games and the SECCG. They project Bama to head into the bowl season with a 12-1 record.
