Today we see if the big boys can play football.

Yessir! If the big uglies can step up their game today, I really like our chances. The D line for Ole Miss is their strength. If the O line can hold their own, Hurts will pick em apart.

Did you see The Beaver interviewed by Finebaum yesterday?  He has a secret weapon; put a private letter into each player's motel room explaining the importance of this game.

Why would the Ole Miss team be in a hotel room for a home game?  ???

Football has changed.   :lol2:
Coaches are control freaks; always take the team out of town the night before the game.  Ole Miss stayed in beautiful Tupelo.  Guess they keep the boys out of trouble, and give them a special night out (with a sweet letter from their coach).  :lol2: :lol2:

Roll TIDE!

Uggh...Tupelo. I spent 2.5 miserable years there. Hard to believe it's been 10 years since I left this December though.

Add those together and its about how many years Elvis spent there!  He left too.
 :lol2:

I believe.... we will kick the black bears azz!

I really want this one, boys. Time to put the Black Bears back in their pacle where they belong. In the liss column.  :popcorn2:

I sure hope that "snotty nosed kid" shines today and Booger has to eat crow!

Somebody will have to explain that one to me.

Also the one: "Saban supports safe space".   :dunno: :dunno: :dunno:

I think it's ... he will be the father of a king size azz whoopin' Dr. Saban is
going to deliver to him this afternoon ?


 :lol: :lol: :lol:

Time for Alabama to crush the Rebels and take back the bragging rights!

ROLL TIDE!

Everybody on game day predicted Alabama big.  I was quite confident until that point.  :lol2:

oh' my ...  :unsure:
history says ... not a good luck omen

either that or they are all wrong as hell like usual  :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

Actually, SC, you picked Alabama 98-0.  Just sayin'.

That's different.  :lol2:

Roll Tide

(http://www.fun-free-party-games.com/ffpg-allimages/BeerMugsToast.jpg)

To those who have gone before us.   :toast4:

:clap:

Well just wiaintg on kickoff. Let's go get the nerves out of the way or am I the only one with nerves? RTR!

#+

Ahh...nothing better than Gerne Dundquist and Vary Lanielson at 2:30 in the morning.  :coffee1:

 #+ #+ #+ #+ #+ Eli says here comes the TIDE! RTR!

Bama wins the coin toss.

We defer.

 #+

Did the Ole Miss fans forget what shade of blue Ole Miss uses?

Touchback.

Ole Miss at the 25.

<sigh> That didn't take long!! C'mon Bama! Let's do this!

What in the world just happen? 75 yards on our defense in 1:00? RTR!

I'm going back to bed.

The running game is looking better than last week.

My computer crashed when OM scored.  I swear I didn't touch it.

Back now.  Roll Tide.

There will be at least 2 interceptions by Kelly in this game.

:popcorn2:

Kiffin loves those WR sweeps, but they rarely gain much.  :dunno:

Nice, slow drive by the offense. We'll need this to keep the defense rested today.

Tescaloosa!  :facepalm:

Great move by Hurts for the first down!

Even Chech could have completed that pass.  :wall:

Well, 7-3.  Good drive, missed opportunity.

 #+

 :lol:  I'd like to think so.   :'(

Good coverage.  OM starts at their 10.

I don't know what is going on but of course I can't see the playing going on but listening to ELI it sounds like to me there is NO UMF in the players today. I wonder if something has taken them away concentration? RTR!

Looks like the D is getting it together!!  Way to hold them!!!

Defense looked much better there. Almost a safety.

Should have been a safety.  Tim Williams was held and tackled.

 >:(

I don't know how they missed that.

Sounds like the same Ref's we have had the last 2 games. RTR!

We got this. As the game wears on, we'll start getting to Kelly and force a mistake or 2 or 3 or..... 8)

Wow CNS is playing all kinds of Freshmen. Dang it boy why dropping the ball? Come on now. RTR!

God why does Cam Robinson move all the time? RTR!

Way to go O-line. RTR!

2nd down and 20 now do we have any plays for this? RTR!

Ball wasn't moving before he hit the ground. Should be overturned.

These refs are lost.

The dink & dunk passing attack is alive and well. Ole Miss has lost their best cornerback and is starting a true freshman at safety, so let's keep throwing it 2-3 yards.



 >:(

"Two hands on the ball, Hurts."

Learning lesson!

Why can't we have a game that doesn't cause grey hair? hahaha
Glad that fumble is being called back. <whew>

A lot of third down conversions early. That's a good sign.

Knee to knee.

Hope Ardarius is okay.   :(

I'm already there.  Earned mine in 1969-1970.   :-*

It's coming.

Another missed opportunity.   :(

Wide right.  :wall:

Good defense!  4th and short.

END OF 1ST QUARTER: OM 7  Bama 3.

Kiffin's just feeling them out right now and letting Hurts settle in. Also, helping keep the defense rested. The deep passes will come.

63-yard punt, and Bama flips the field!!

:jump:

We need to get an interception here!

I second that.  All in favor?

OM is playing 2-deep safeties.  They're young and playing safe.  We'll get the yards as they tire along the LB and D-line.

Finally got caught holding Tim Williams.  #+

Dahmmmmmmm, a 68-yard punt into the endzone by OM.

I'm not sure the hold affected the play, but I'll take it.

No INT, but I will take yet another 3 and out.  :clap:

Nice run by Jacobs. Ole Miss defense might be getting tired.

And our O-line can't go a possession without a false start.  >:(

Good running, then 4th down at midfield.

Bad punt.  OM at their 40.

8-yard punt.

Why is it that every time we play Ole Miss everything goes wrong?

Scott strikes again.  :(

Fire Coach Williams.

We gash them with runs up the middle and then we start the parade of cutesy jet sweeps and end up with 3rd and 21.

>:( >:( >:(

What is wrong with this team? Twice our player knocked the guy with the ball down, we've had 3 procedure calls, the center is waiting too long to hike the ball, we keeping running the sweep with a WR and losing yardage, and now we get an 8 yard punt.



 :pullhair: :pullhair: :pullhair:

23-yard field goal after a bomb.

OM 10  Bama 3

We need get a little more imaginative on offense. Hurts needs to throw a few down the field, At least more than 10 yards.

Second wide open receiver Hurts has missed.

What in the world? Good throw followed by dropping the ball.  :wall:

Come on Big D - let's get an interception or fumble recovery!!!

Crappy call...

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

Unbelievable.

Never heard Eli Gold call a game like this.  Just matter of fact.
Weird.

Coach Saban is trying to rally the team.   :tinfoil:

Good return across the 40.  We needed that!

All I know is that someone needs to open the playbook.  >:(

Ole Miss had a player injured on the kickoff.  Looks like a shoulder injury.
He is Luke Davis = LB (not a starter)

Hurts is scared.

Cam Sims should have caught it anyhow.

We have to get a TD before the half.

And of course, another false start.  :wall: :wall: :wall:

"Should be targeting", Eli says.

Ballgame.

Helmet to helmet on Hurts. That should have been a personal foul.

Everyone except the refs knew it wasn't a TD, even Vern and Gary, but the refs blew it.

Hurts was hit in the face with a helmet (no call), then another unnecessary roughness hit before the TD.

 >:( >:( >:( >:(

BINGO!!! The Nick Saban, play not to lose offense at work.

We just don't seem to have an answer.

Ole Miss is outplaying us, but this is CRAP!!

They got a free one last year and they got a free one this year, courtesy of the referees.

Meanwhile, despite "fans" deserting the ship, Bama has a nice drive to the 5 of OM.

FINALLY!

Three years in a row a combination of injuries, incompetent officiating, and stupid bad luck have cost us against Ole Miss.

We don't do that, only teams playing us do that.

And rip out the page that has the jet sweep on it.

No one deserting the ship, just frustrated by conservative play calling, penalties, and other nonsense.


 :popcorn2:

 :lol2:

Ridley for a sweep: TD!

Bama trails 10-24.

I am not sure what is happening but ELI sounds like we just absolutely want to give the game away. Now guys remember I can't see it but he has never called a game like this. RTR!

I'm still watching at 4:17 AM, not deserting the ship. Bama's played poorly but the non-call on the helmet to helmet and calling the block in the back a dead ball foul are infuriating.

I hope others don't get mad but I told yall OM has ALWAYS played us tough. The last time we beat them was like the 52-0 or something and they been tearing us up since then. I wonder if we need a new QB in there now? RTR!

WOW! Way to go Alabama football team. Hammer this thing. RTR!

Could the "Tide" be turning??  I think so.  #+

And I didn't even get to celebrate the touchdown because I assumed the penalty was on Bama.  >:(

It has turned, baby.  WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

:jump:  :jump:

Man oh Gosh I hope CNS makes these guys limp out after halftime. We need a good chewing and maybe we can get some good out of this. MY my spot a team 24-3 and come back is crazy. RTR!

It's a ballgame now.  We've got 'em right where we want 'em.

Well that is because tweedle dee and tweedle dum were clanging on and on about a block in the back that never happened.

I sure celebrated. My husband came in to check on me LOLOL he's watching the Nebraska game in the living room. Whew! 24-17 is a whole lot better than 24-3.
Still wish the Offense would get it together!

We get the ball to start the second half and we've stolen the momentum. What a wild swing! The second half will be ours!

Me too. I thought I saw a block in the back.


 :lol2:  :dunno:  :lol2:

Please will somebody hurt that boy and knock him out. RTR!

:clap:

Merciful the half is over. Come ELI get us pumped up buddy. RTR!

I didn't see one, but when the flag button pops up on the screen during a punt return you just assume it's going to be an illegal block.

Can anyone say what Eli's mood is now??

I thought I saw one, too, but they owed us a make up call after that awful officiating on Ole Miss' last touchdown.

Man I hate this dadgum cat. I run over to kick him and he saw me coming and took off and I am disabled, and told to run that cat down to kick him. What in the world is a man to do? RTR!

I don't know. Maybe there was and the refs gave us the TD in exchange for the one the gave Oke Piss?? :lol2:

Yes I will tell you MERK he is as dead as my last dog that died. I am frazzled and don't know what is going on. RTR!

I want to tell you how good the Lord Jesus is. I prayed and Eddie scored. I ask for help to see them game and guess what I just went over to cbs sports dot com and the game is on that page live. All I had to do was turn off my AD Blocker on that page. SC might know about this but if any of you need that kind of help there it is. RTR!

We all owe Preacher a "Roll Tide" for the answered prayer!

 #+

ROLL TIDE

The good news: Tide gets the ball first, I think the dink & dunk offense is put to bed for now, we see more 12-17 yard passes to Ridley, Sims, & other WR's, & might even see RB #25 Jacobs break a long one for a TD.

The bad news: Our defense is about to devour QB Kelly. ( bad news for Ole Miss).



 :popcorn2:

Let's just dominate and win this crazy game.  The refs shouldn't play a role in it from here on.

HALFTIME:  Ole Miss 24  Bama 17

Finish this, boys!

Good play by Hurts to keep the drive going.

Good kick. Time for a pick-six.

Good punt.  Ole Miss starts at their 6.

Time for a pick-6 by..............  Humphrey.

What happen to using our TE on those 6 yd first down needs? RTR!

:lol:

Finally have them penned back again. Need to make something happen here or hold them to 3 & out.


 :clap:

Beat you to it.

I wonder what we have to do to get an O-line that can run the ball? RTR!

Lord God have Mercy! RTR!

Under review by the idiots.

Looked like a TD.   :popcorn2: :popcorn2:

TD! RTR!

Happening just like I said.



 :dance:









 :lol2:

Maybe our defense woke up. They look like they was playing really hard. RTR!

TOUCHDOWN by the D!!

:jump:  :jump:

It's official!

Now we're cooking! #+

Well I think I had the right person making these calls. Thank you Lord no matter what nobody says. rofl, RTR!

We have a new ballgame, folks!  ROLL TIDE!

 :-* :-*

24-24

Offense is struggling, special teams and defense carrying the load. That's what championship teams do.

3 and OUT!!

Nice defense!

Darn! Company arrived early (they came from Texas but weren't supposed to get HERE until after the game!!) and I missed the fumble recovery and td. But we are TIED!! GO Bama GO 

Man the QB looked like he was ready to get off that last play. RTR!

BTW, Ardarius Stewart is out for the game.  Looks like ice near his knee.

OJ for a 1st down!

Nice play there by Hurts.

Double TEs for us and an easy run for 9.

Jalen for a 1st down!!

 #+ #+

FLAG on the good Bo run to the 5---- HOLDING on OJ!  CRAP.

 >:(

3rd and 4  --- just short of a 1st down by Jalen.  Looks like a field goal attempt.


Bama 27  Ole Miss 24

WE LEAD!

Tell them they have to stand out in the driveway until the game is over.  :lol2:

We get so close but our offense just seems to stall without defense man we would be dead. RTR!

Neb 28  Oregon 26

Mich 31  Colo 28

Both 3rd Q

NOW for the pick 6!

Holding penalty.  Can't lose 10 yards inside the 20.

I guess I am so old I forgot how to play the game but it seems to me when you have all these 5* players and talent it seems to me offense should score more than we do. Am I wrong for thinking this? RTR!

Another touchback.  Excellent.

Archie Griffin...Classic Verne!

They're still just kids, Preacher.  THEY have to do their part too.

That hurt. We had them at 3rd and give it up. RTR!

Ole Miss RB is injured.  Looked like a knee in the back.

OM has a drive going near midfield.

Yea this what I am talking about is are they mentally ready being so young? RTR!

Hope that kid is okay. He took a hard shot in the back from Harrison.

We need one of those slant passes to bounce up for an interception.

Crap, Fitzpatrick is hurt.  Hit in head by a knee.

Oh, no! Fitzpatrick down.

Might be a concussion.  He's walking off.

God I hope he is ok. RTR!

Here goes Kelley picking us again. We got to stop this if we gonna win. RTR!

OM TD in the corner.  Crap! 

Unreal.

Ball at the 1/2 yard line.

 :pray:

Review AGAIN, and it looks like a TD.

PLEASE, Lord, take these refs away.

Refs stealing from Ole Miss now.

2nd and goal.

FALSE START OM.

2nd and 5.

Another perfect pass & circus catch.



 :wall:

If we hold them to a FG here, that will be huge!

Fumbled into the endzone for a TD.  Under review AGAIN.  He was down and these idiots missed it again!

He was clearly down. I could see that live. How did the ref not call it?

4th at the 1-yard line.

They'll go for it.... or maybe a fg.   :popcorn2: :popcorn2: :popcorn2: :popcorn2: :popcorn2: :popcorn2:

I haven't seen a game officiated this poorly in a long time.

Nearly blocked.

Tie game 27-27

Huge stand by the D! Sucked the wind back out of their sails.

Not so fast.  Epic goal line stand.  3 plays had to be reviewed and they all went in our favor.

Harris is running well today.

Knee down at the 2.

Yes, the refs missed another one.

Touchdown BO!!

:jump:

NOW time for the pick 6.

Reuben Foster's knee.  He was holding it.

 :(

Buckle up! 4th quarter is going to be wild.

Crap! Reuben down.

Looks like a cramp.  :pray:

Fitzpatrick is out with a concussion.

No word on Reuben.

Sure would like to see us take the bear by the ears and take over the 4th. Qtr.  :popcorn2:

Here goes OM on a drive.

UPDATE:  Reuben can play again.  :jump:

Reuben back in...

Defense holds.  Field goal.....

Fake?  No, good.

Bama 34  Ole Miss 30.

Time to wear out this OM defense!

You know (and I hope CNS knows) an on-sides kick would be just what we did to Clemson about here!

 :o :o :o

Hugh Freeze doesn't have Saban's testicles.

CRAP, ref.  A holding call again cost us a long run.

 >:(

Penalties, penalties, penalties.  :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall:

:lol:

Dieter has dropped some balls!

We needed points there. Let's go, defense!

Can out defense sack Kelly??  He owes us a fumble or int.
OM ball at their 11.

 :popcorn2:

Ain't that the truth.  And missed some blocks.  Not sure why he is on the field at this point.

Yep. Not a good day for him.

Good defense.  They punt from their 17.

3-and-out! Great defense! Let's get some points!

Eli Gold is perking up a bit.  We need something BIG to give him a memorable play.

 :popcorn2: :popcorn2:

Now ram it down their throat, score a TD, and then get on the bus and go home.

Big run Jalen Hurts!

Eli got his call!  :jump:

That was too quick.  We still have to play another half a quarter.  :lol2:

But I will take it.

Almost. Defense is about to put this one away.

Hurts has 150 yards passing and about 140 rushing.   :worship: :worship:

I wish.  My stomach still hurts.

Not yet, bruh...as long as Kelly is standing.

Now it really hurts.  Long pass by OM.

Evans nearly manslaughtered Kelly.

Called it.

Nail. Coffin.

Eddie Jackson injured (or cramps).  Just now back from the locker room.

Reuben is in the locker room.

When I called for a pick 6 I wasn't expecting it to be a d-linemane.  :lol2:

 :lol: :lol: :lol:

SACK on Kelly!

Well then, by all means, somebody knock him down.  :lol2:

PICK 6 Bama!

Say goodnight!

:jump:  :jump:  :jump:

We gonna win this thing, baby!

BAMA 48

Ole Miss 30

Whew, my stomach feels better!

This has got to be the worst officiated game I have seen in a while.  How did they miss the push off?

Good thing this one is out of reach.

Ruh roh!

EVERY time this team works our game it's the same thing.  Well, maybe not THIS bad, but always bad.

 :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall:

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

Okay, we now lead by 11:

Bama 48  Ole Miss 37.

Anybody pick that score??   :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

This is unreal.

Anybody pick THAT score?

A nice long drive to run out the clock now...

After all of this, Bozeman is the MVP of the game.

WE WIN!!

:jump:  :jump:  :jump:  :jump:  :jump:  :jump:  :jump:  :jump:  :jump:  :jump:  :jump:  :jump:  :jump:  :jump:  :jump:  :jump:  :jump:  :jump: 

Well I am going get some salve and put on my knees. They are raw. Well done defense and special teams and all others. RTR!

A win is a win. That was crazy. I think I'm about to pass out.

Yes, and where do I even start?

1.  They didn't even realize there was a fumble on that play until 2 or 3 plays later.
2.  Bozeman did not recover it.
3.  It was recovered by #73 Williams.
4.  Seems to me the play of the game should have been the pick 6.

Can both of these guys retire?  Like, right now?

It was a sloppy game, but I am pleased with how hard we fought until the very end.  Ole Miss has turned out to be a scrappy bunch under CHF.

I agree but we have to realize that the dementia twins were making that decision... my apologies to anyone that has or has had or has had a loved one that had dementia...

Sloppy, but the team overcame adversity, kept their composure, and didn't give up when it looked like the game was lost early on.

Still too many penalties and a lot of improvement to make, but this team has championship character.

1. Too many penalties
2. Poor play calling at times
3. Marlon Humphrey & DB's played poorly at times
4. Need more downfield passes
5. OJ Howard & Cam Sims underutilized
6. Bo Scarborough scares me with his ball handling
7. Hope ArDarius Stewart & R. Foster are okay



 :dunno:

Anybody miss Kirby Smart yet?  Way too much blown coverage by DBs. Still bad technique and just getting beaten on too many plays.

The reviews on J Hurts will be good but to me he looked over his head too much of the time.  Still he hung in there and didn't give up.  Made some big plays when we needed them.

Team showed great character and grit.  But still lots of mistakes to clean up.

Has anybody heard from Saban yet on this one? RTR!

Post game presser not posted on the internet yet.  Usually takes a while.

Listened to his interview with Eli Gold.
CNS was chatty and excited.

The most salient point about QB is WE HAVE A QB NOW.  If he stays healthy, we'll have him for 3-4 years!  Finally we're set.  He'll only get better every week.

THIS was the game we needed under his belt.

Agreed. Hurts will get better. A true freshman made his first road start against a top-15 caliber team. Neither he nor the rest of the team gave up when it looked like the game was over down 24-3.

This team still has a lot to prove. But we learned today that this team has championship character.

:toast4:

We won!  All that counts, really.  But, boy, my blood pressure is STILL up!  ROLL TIDE!!! #+ #+ #+

Yep, but that also likely means that Barnett will transfer after the season...

Next up, Kent State, then Kentucky. This gives Hurts more time to hone his skills, plus give battered players some time to heal up. Any word on Foster or Stewart? Hurts is the real deal and will only get better.



 :clap:
