Hello from the campus of Ole Miss.

Jamos and 2 just walked The Grove with me. 
IT WAS A NIGHTMARE.
Like walking Bourbon Street during Mardi Gras Day!

Roll Tide.

da#@ Commie traitor!! I knew you were an undercover spy reporting on all of our suggestions to improve the Alabama offense & defense giving other reams our invaluable insights.


 >:( >:( >:(

T - 1:04

Roll Tide!!


Ya'll have fun in the Grove.

50 minutes and counting.

A big Roll TIDE from 2 and me. It's a beautiful day for football and a Bama win.

You guys are CRAZY!  Have fun!

There's a 15 mph wind from the NW today in Oxford that will affect long passes and the kicking game.

Pretty steady and strong.

 :tinfoil:

Is anybody else seeing issues with CBS channel 19 out of Huntsville on DirecTV?  They better get this fixed.  >:(

None here on my DTV. Must be local.

rtr, im calling a beating, by us, of them

Agreed.  :toast4:

It's time to stomp a mud hole into the hearts of Ole Miss.

I hope we play like Alabama today!!!!

Let's buckle up and get after it.

Short kick, poor coverage.  Not a good start.

Not a good start.

Nice hit!

Someone tell me when do we fire the not-so-special teams coach?



 :wall: :wall: :wall:

Devall out.  >:(

A busted coverage and OM has to call to.

Maybe we can replace him with Freddie Gonzalez... :unsure:

I've got a freeze frame on that last play.  It is not a catch.

There we go!  They will overturn it.

I agree.

 #+ #+

Elbow out of bounds first...

Good call.

They FINALLY figured out what happened, after the ref told them.  :lol:

15-mph Wind 3    Bama 0

As if they were looking at the spot.  :eyeroll:

 :lol:

Only gave up 3. Not bad after the long return. Just need to weather the early storm.

Are you posting from the stadium?

These early injuries are very concerning.  Devall on crutches is not good at all.

Very nice run by Jones.
Drake down?! :stop:

Here we go with the chicken wing ball security technique.  >:(

Nice run by Yeldon.

 :wall:

Missed it.  >:( >:( >:(

Wind is beating us so far.

No, but I can see it from here.

Not good.

It seems like we consistently come out slow after a bye week.  I can't think of a game within the last 6 or 7 years where we've come out looking sharp right off the bat after a bye week.

Yep. Gotta shake the rust off.

Time for a nice drive and a TD! :popcorn2:

Well ok. They missed as well.

Much better.  OJ sighting.  Let's keep it up offense.

 :facepalm:

OJ drop?  OMG!

Come on pick 6

At least Sims seems on the mark so far.

Nice stop D!

LOL!!!  I hear he's available.

The Tide D looking tough & about to take over the game.


 #+ #+ #+

OUCH :o

Drake down again.  :wall:

Drake's hurt again.   :o

BROKEN

Prothro break.  You could hear him screaming.

Drake definitely hurt. Man I hate that for him.




 :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall:

 :pray:

 :pray:

 >:( Let's win this for DRAKE!

That just hurts to see that.  I hope he can come back from that next year.

Bless his heart. He was in some kind of pain.

Come on O!!!!!

That was a shock (losing Drake).  Looks like a severe break.

Now we need a pick-6 to get us going.

Let's go D! We need a turnover! :deadhorse:

Way to put pressure on the QB.

well drake will never play again,  that turf should be illegal

Lots of power football.  Chess game by us.

 :popcorn2:

This.

 >:( >:( >:(

We get something good going and then shoot ourselves in the foot.

Starting to see signs of life on O.

Let's run it if it's working!

So far, we have lost a good pass rusher & our fastest running back, plus I haven't seen White play. These things really spoil the game for me.



 :(

If it ain't broken, don't fix it.  Left, left, left.....

Let's put it in fellas!

THAT WAS BRILLIANT!!!!!!

Yes!!!!!

3TDs, 7 points.

Let's get a turnover!

that was textbook rtr

It took 3 TD plays, but Sims finally got it in for the one that counts!

:jump:

:toast4:

Great 4th down call. We are running left away from Leon brown. He appears to be weak link.

^^^THIS^^^

somebody tackle

Let's get a score. We also get it to start the 3rd.

Yes....horrible injury.  I started a thread.....didn't see this game thread.

A drive would have been nice.
But we get the ball first after the half.

 :popcorn2:

Well folks, it appears that the Ole Miss defense is pretty good after all,
EVEN THOUGH THEY PLAYED NOBODY BEFORE US!

Maybe we get a pick 6 before the half.


 :D

wow nice punt

SCOOP AND SCORE!!!!

did he step out

That was a facemask.  But we got a break for once.

I'll take the points

Close enough!  :lol:

Shows what you know.   :lol:


Glad the refs missed the facemask.   :clap:

I did see the Ole Miss player grab his facemask! ;)

It was indeed a facemask.  Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Eli called it: "It's going to come back - facemask..."

I thought the same thing.


 ???

Yes, Verne and Gary, it was a bad no-call.  It happens.  Get over it and go on.   :eyeroll:

:lol:

Nice to be wrong when it helps!
Can we still have the ball after the half?   :dunno: :dunno: :lol2:

Correct 50% calls on TDs

 :lol:

TCU 24  Oklahoma 24 Half

Stanford 7 ND 7  Half

Tide 7 OM 3
Refs 7




 :D :D :D

BLOOM!!!!

And the bumbling broadcasters still have no idea that the refs missed those 2 TD calls.  They will go on and on about the facemask though, especially if we win by 7 points or less.  :eyeroll:

:lol:

you can rule that out! RTR!

Did someone say Jamos was at the game? Isn't he the Treasurer for the REC?






 :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X

****Just got off the phone with Jamos and 2 at the stadium.

Jamos said everyone was asking if the facemask was legal because the mask wasn't grabbed (I told him it was grabbed and pulled).

Then he said, "We just saw a great fight up here."

He ended with, "Tell everybody on CRS that we've got this under control."

Gotta love Jamos!   :worship: :worship: :worship:

:lol:

I'm just suprised we haven't heard about how Heisman Trophy Winner Mark Ingram's dad's in prison... :facepalm:

Like this running.

Nice pass and catch!

The dink & dunk passing game ain't working.

 :(

Blown opportunity there.

Two plays for losses, missed FG

I don't think I like that call right there.

Did our kickers step on a witch or something?

Seems suddenly we're cursed.

 :wall:

 :facepalm: :stop: :stop:

I wonder if these guys are trying to let Ole Miss have every chance and then if they do it by themselves we have decided to help them all we can. I am so confused I don't know what to say. RTR!

Bama 14-10

 :popcorn2:

I want this game to be over.  I hope we get out with a win and no further injuries.

Amen   :pray:

I think he recovered his own fumble, but REC made sure of it. 

Thank you! lets get a TD

OJ!!!

Strike to OJ and he hung on to it.  #+

 :facepalm:

Our guys are dropping like flies.  :facepalm:

Oh no!

Well...

No such luck.   >:(

Leon

Let's  :stop: them D!!!!

Well at least we didn't completely blow that.  17-10

Well, I'll be. He got one.

That was huge, both for the game and for his confidence.  WHEW!

Slightly shorter, at 44 yards.  :clap:

I wonder if something is wrong with Griffith's leg.  Early in the season he was making all his FGs and kicking the ball into the endzone.  Today he's struggled with both.

Could be the wind.  It's really blowing out there.   :dunno:

Oh ye of little faith! RTR!

Kelly went down about three minutes after I posted this.  Win is still a possibility.

Fourth quarter has been historically ours. Let's hope it continues.  :popcorn2:

You never realize how important an offensive center is till your starting offensive center gets injured!

I hope these timeouts don't come back to bite us.

We got to keep an eye on the clock...

With two timeouts used on this drive we better come away with a touchdown. 

Kelly's injury is really affecting the offense.

Let's go D

Defense really needs to step up and make a huge play in this series.

A fumble or a pick would be really nice here.

A little pass rush would be nice.

Let's stopem

(http://www.totalprosports.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/3-alabama-cheerleaders-2.jpg)

Nervous time!  Stick 'em D.

Let's hear it for dropped passes.

Oh dear

Man, I need a defibrillator!

Great D by Tony Brown!

Nice job! TB

We could use an 8 minute, 99 yard drive here.

Let's drive it down

Great. One yard line.  :wall:

I'm calling 99 yard pass to Cooper.

:toast4:

I'm with Jamos: 'we've got this'!

I'd settle for a 99 yard drive of any amount of time.  Or an eight minute drive of any length.

JK Scott is money.

JK Scott for Heisman?

I think it's time for bad Bo to make an appearance.

Hopefully he'll kick off after our next TD!   8)

We need another huge defensive stand.

My insides feel like Jello.  I don't care for these games one bit.

Time for a LC pick

Unbelievable :wall:

We need a KO return for a TD.

Time to man up and do this.  No more messing around.

Now we see what we are made of , Best coaching staff in the nation! best recruits over the last 5 years. It is put up or shut up! RTR! It is the SEC WEST!

OMG

 :wall:

Well, that's terrible.

Players we have lost or can't play.

#17 Drake
#30 Devall  pass rusher
#70 Kelly  center
# 2  White


If we win this game, these injuries could come back to haunt us in later games.


 :facepalm:

 >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

come on pick 6

We need a stop and a blocked FG.

Don't be suprised if we see Bo run it.

We need a bolt of lightning on D.

Afraid that's about it for this one.

Well....I guess we can hope for a score and then overtime.

We have DB's standing around covering no one. We have Cooper covered by 2 or 3 guys on every play. WTH!!





 :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall:

 :(

My heart may just give out before this game is over.

That was a nice effort.

Time for Blake Sims to silence the critics!

Let's go get 7!

Time for our wonderful special teams unit to get the ball.

Unbelievable.

 >:( >:( >:(

Penalties and turnovers have vexed us this year.

Like I said, we get a block in the back after a decent return.

MINE TOO!

That was a pick.

ball game

Too many mistakes

Well, now we know why we haven't seen more of OJ Howard. He had 2 holding penalties and at 6'6" 250 he let a guy at 5'9" beat him on a catch. No way that should happen. Both holding penalties came at key times, not to mention a dropped pass. Not a prime time player.


 :pullhair:

can't make that many mistakes against a team like they have..we had our chances, blew this game. Ok, on to the next one.

Roll, Tide!

Teams win as a team, and teams lose as a team.  It wasn't any one player.

Roll Tide.

Yep.   :(

Phil Steele's computer was right.   :(

Exactly right, the entire offense (except Yeldon) and the DB's did us in. I give Ole Miss total credit, they wanted this game in the worst way while we were stumbling & fumbling over each other. Excellent tackling by their defense, some of the best I have ever seen. My bigger concern is our injured players, especially Drake. We did not give the game away, Ole Miss beat us, period.

:stop:

Ole Miss earned this one.

There is going to be a massive shake-up in the top 5 tomorrow. Oklahoma just went down.

Don't fret boys, Auburn can still lose.

#2, #3, #4, and #6 have lost.  #5 is playing LSU as we speak.

I don't think this loss will knock us out of the playoffs or even the SEC West, but we do need to improve quite a bit if we are going to win out.

Lots of season left. You never know what will happen.
Hats off to Ole Miss. They deserved to win. We did not.

Danny Sheridan too.

A 4-team playoff could save us yet.
But we have to keep winning.

Never mind.  :-[

Why he did so good, especially at throwing the ball low, behind, and over players, except for Ole Miss's players, he tended to hit them right on the numbers. That and running around going backwards, or running for the first down and diving for it 4 yds short.
Of course add in the DB's and well... you get what we had here today.
Then throw in the costly penalties and the fumble; but I still can't figure out why when they were running the ball so well  and then on third and short they would try to get cute in the play calling and lose yards.
Could be a long season ahead.
Oh well flame away and Roll Tide Anyway.

Bama did not survive upset weekend.

Neither did Oregon, Oklahoma or the Aggies.

Next week's poll should be interesting.

Yep.  C-L-A-S-S, SC.  Thanks.

Bye bye now.  He's gone fellas.

First time ever that 4 of the top 6 lost.   :(

WOW!! Basically, we are all where we started off from if everyone loses. That's good news.

It is, but we need to improve or it won't really matter in the end, in my opinion.

Not so fast.  I'm saying there is a chance.

OM beat us but we made it too easy for them especially in 4th qtr.

This.  What concerns me is the number and magnitude of the errors that contributed to our loss.  It may have been even worse of a point spread if the flag had been thrown on the facemasking near the end of the first half.  Turnovers and penalties have been biting us this year.  It just doesn't seem like we're playing up to the level that we have been the last few years.  I don't know if that's because we just haven't buckled down yet or if we're giving it our all and our all just isn't as good as it has been.  Time will tell, I guess.

I have never been comfortable watching Blake Sims play in unpredictable fits and starts although he has unusually good instincts.  It is nerve wracking.

All season, Blake has been called "brilliant"....so what do I know....maybe he is.  I guess Ole Miss just has a better team than Alabama this year. 

But for me, I miss the calm, uncharismatic "game manager" quarterbacks who managed to get the job done.....as we knew they would.

I think the effort is there because CNS has said many times that he really likes the team and how hard they work.  He has also said that the fans will need to be patient with them and give them time to develop.  So we will see if they are able to do that the rest of the way.  If they can, then we might be OK.  If not, then we will drop a few more games most likely.

Yep, other losers included #14 & #17 plus #8 has a tough game tonight and #10 plays #19. It ain't over till it's over and the fat lady ain't singing.



 #+

I had forgotten about CNS saying that.  I guess how well we do from here on out depends on how our guys continue to develop.  This football season may turn out to be crazier than 2011.

Burn Baby, Burn.
(http://www.chuckbauman.com/Line-of-Fire-for-car-hood%20flames.jpg)

Unfortunately, Bama doesn't have that QB this year.

Here are the teams #7 thru 15, some teams who will move up:

#
7   Baylor   4-0   1149
8   UCLA   4-0   975   Playing Utah tonight
9   Notre Dame   4-0   972
10   Michigan State   3-1   944  Playing Nebraska tonight
11   Ole Miss   4-0   906
12   Mississippi State   4-0   848
13   Georgia   3-1   788
14   Stanford   3-1   643  Lost
15   LSU   4-1   losing to Barn


I don't see any of these going undefeated except maybe Baylor but they play Oklahoma. We have a lot to still play for. My biggest concerns are the impact of the injuries to us. That could be what sinks our ship. How do you replace Drake, White, a starting center, etc.?


 :dog:

I didnt break anything

LOL!  Me neither, when the game is over, it's over.
