Crimson Red Sports

Just a reminder, game starts at 2 pm on ESPN.




 :popcorn2:

Here we are in the Big Show again. Chris Peterson is a great coach who will no doubt throw some very new offensive formations and tricks at us. However, I think our team speed on defense will overwhelm them in the long run. Plus, I don't see them covering Ridley, Stewart, and Howard at all times. They're just too good.




 :clap:

Speaking of Chick-Fil-A, I went to the SEC Championship Game with my son and we stayed in a hotel in Hapeville, about 3 miles north of the airport (son flew in). My son loves Chick-fil-A nuggets and I surprised hm by taking him to the Original Chick-Fil-A which is still in business and is called the Dwarf House located in Hapeville. My son and wife loved it.



 :wave:

Hey MD Hapeville use to be a very nice and peaceful place back in the early 60's when my Moms' Folks lived there. Hope yall enjoy your trip greatly. RTR!

So much depends on Jalen.  If he has a good, or even just decent day, passing, Bama will mostly control the game.  I'm also looking for our RBs to break lots of arm tackles.

Good morning. Roll Tide!

Good afternoon all!  Roll Tide!

 :wave:

Roll Tide

Hiya Chech!  One of these days life is going to slow down for me... I HOPE :)

RTR

Hey brother I have mine through Google and the ad blockwer I don't see any ads. RTR!

Big Roll Tide Terrie. Hope your well good to see you back. RTR!

I almost missed it!  I was thinking it was at 3 for some reason.  :facepalm:

3:00 AM here. I woke up at 1:45 and couldn't get back to sleep.

:coffee2:

Hi everyone!  It's a great day for a Tide victory!

We win the toss; defer.

They did the coin toss.  Game over.  Next.

Seeing Eddie in street clothes for the toss.  :'(

Roll Tide!

Did I hear Eli say this is a BIG 10 officiating crew? RTR!

Great kick coverage by Minkah!

3 and out! Great start by the D!  :clap:

Golly here we go with the off sides but of course we have 2 to 3 of these. RTR!

That was a screw up.  :facepalm:

Can anybody see what we are doing as far as blocking? RTR!

Offensive start....not so great.

Early jitters by both teams.  We're okay.

 :popcorn2:

Yep. It usually takes a few series for Kiffin to figure out how to exploit the defense.

Have to get credit to Budda Baker for a great play on Bama's first offensive play. He fooled Hurts and got back into position to make a play.

Come on defense. Gotta hold them baby! RTR!

OH boy Eli ain't sounding good. RTR!

Hey way to go Johnny. RTR!

Come ONNNNNNNNNNN DEFENSEEEEEEEEEEE! RTR!

Dang it!! :wall:

Sorry I cheered. I must have jinxed us. RTR!

Bad juju.  Should we edit the title of the thread??

 :wall:

All good, Ricky. Still a lot of football left to play.

Remember, Florida SECCG started the same way. UF offense marched down the field on their first series.




 :popcorn2:

I'm wearing the shorts I've worn for every game this season. It's not my fault.  :lol2:

Good pass to OJ!

Scarbrough in beast mode!

That was an in your face TD. RTR!

BO

:jump:  :jump:

The gloom and depression should be sinking in for them about now.  :lol2:

Hey somebody call me and let me know when it is halftime, I had to back off for a few seconds I got the flutters. Just gonna be off praying some and be right back. RTR!

Turnover!

Good 1st quarter of football. I'd feel better if Washington wasn't moving the ball so well.

10-7 BAMA

:jump:

Defense!

Are we rusty from the layoff? 

OK I'm back. Little rest time done well. Now come on. RTR!

Both teams had the same layoff.

 :worship: :worship: I was thinking the same thing but I thought we might have guys running through practice on their own. Maybe not though. RTR!

Great throw and better catch by Dieter!

Drive stalls, but good punt by Scott.

NOT time?

PICK-6 time

 :popcorn2:

Another great defensive series!  #+

OK have got to get in gear it is time to run up the Score to what SC wants 98-7 now. RTR!

Excellent defensive series and a poor punt. Bama starts on the right side of the 50.

Come on offense we need to punch it in this time. See some young men running hard. RTR!

Wow Eli called this to the point. We are going to have to roll to throw. RTR!

Gosh we start on best side of the field and we can't advance? RTR!

That offensive series =  :wall:

Run th ball, Lane!

I'm betting Washington is gonna see a lot of #9 in the second half!

Man we don't know how to throw for some reason. It is a team effect it seems. No pass blocking at all it seems. They have a spy on Jalen. RTR!

We need a four minute touchdown drive here.

Too much running by Hurts. What's happened to Scarborough, Harris, & Jacobs?



 ???

We run the ball effectively, then we decide to dance around and pass the ball with continuos bad results. Am I missing something?



 ??? ??? ???

RUN THE BALL, LANE!

Well, nice punt by us.

 :popcorn2:

Suddenly, we can't tackle anyone but our own players.



 :facepalm:

I wonder if somebody spent more time trying to get his own team staffed and ready than they did preparing for this game? RTR!

NOT

NOT

NOT

:jump:

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Well the defense does it again. RTR!

Come on defense. We got a chance to go in ahead. RTR!

Browning looks flustered.

Observation: the Husky cheerleaders are...husky.

Great pick 6!!! <stupid time for me to have to be on the phone w/an agent though!> Couldn't yell or anything!! :)

ROLL TIDE ROLL!

Washington better come up with some new offensive plays in the 2nd half, cause Bama got their number right now.



 :wave:

Bit of a slow start, but we're rolling now. Blowout in the second half.

Man I hope your both right so bad. From listening to Eli they are flustered at the fact of running the ball and then going back to the hippy hop stuff.  :lol:, RTR!

Can I make a suggestion to Kiffin for the 2nd half:




RUN THE D**N FOOTBALL!!!

Bama: 1st

Agents: 99th

HTH

Miller great block! RTR!

See what what happens when you run the ball, Lane?  :lol2:

Now we have to watch these BIG 10 Refs. RTR!

I told you the BIG 10 officials. RTR!

 :wall: :wall:

Sigh :(  But at least I'm off work now and can CHEER to my hearts content!! C'mon Bama give me something to cheer about!! :)

Tim Williams!

Our offense has stopped us more than the Washington D. Frustrating.

We need a big play here - Where's BO????

Okay, we've kept the Vegas guys happy.  Time for the defense to score a few more points.

 :-*

Has this offense ever practiced together? Has handing off to RB's been outlawed in this game? Has the center forgotten how to hike a ball? Just wondering.




 ???

When we have the ball it sounds like there is a Washington home crowd.  Don't know how they are so loud!

Okay offense. No penalties, give the ball to BO and let's put this game AWAY please!!!

https://twitter.com/jaybarker7/status/815321329889116160

What is going on with this play calling? Hurts up-the-middle, Hurts to the left, Hurts to the right. Are all our RB's injured? What is going on?



 :wall: :wall: :wall:

End of 3rd:

Bama 17  Washington 7

 :popcorn2:

https://twitter.com/aaronsuttles/status/815326032144244737

Has the offense practiced at all?

BO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BO  BO  BO

:jump:

BO!!!!

RUN THE BALL LANE!!!

24 -7 Bama!!! I KNEW BO could do it!!! ROLL TIDE ROLL!

Nope they sure haven't. I bet if we win and go further somebody else will be the OC in the NCG. RTR!

Still "WANT BAMA", Washington??

 :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :clap: :clap: :lol3:

RUN BO RUN! RTR!

https://twitter.com/alabamaftbl/status/815330359105748993

GO Johnny GO! RTR!

Come on offense let's drive it and put it away on the 1 yard line. RTR!

Gosh, who would of thought Alabama could run the ball so well? That Kiffin is a genius!








 :eyeroll: :eyeroll:  :eyeroll:

 :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:, ya thunk MD?  :lol3: :lol3:, RTR!

Oh goody, now we're back to Hurts running around in the backfield & throwing the ball away.



 :wall: :wall: :wall:                   

I would like to jerk a KNOT in Lane Kiffin's NECK! Run the football! Idiot! RTR!

Well done J.K. you are a field changer. RTR!

Lord forgive me for my anger but even I know when you trying to run out the clock you run the football with BO. RTR!

Washington seems to be well coached. They don't have penalties much. RTR!

Washington is a better team than I thought they were. Other than the penalties and NOT RUNNING BO, this has been a good game!  RTR

Yes mam. One thing I don't understand is now that we are trying to run the clock out I thought we run, run and run. RTR!

If the offense doesn't constantly get penalized and we run the ball, the score would be at least 38-7. Washington is okay, but our offense constantly stopped the offense.



 :wave: :wave: :wave:         

Such a cheerful bunch of complaining.  This just in...

WE WON!!

 :dunno:

Guess I can double up on my BP meds tonight and I'll be OK. RTR!

Coach take the players out. Please. RTR!

https://twitter.com/leephilipa/status/815338340803190784

Somebody explain what is going on please? RTR!

ROLL TIDE!!!

Congrats to the Bama team!!  Heading to the National Championship 1/9!!! RTR

Ok everybody have a Blessed NYE. I am going take my BP meds. wow RTR!

It's called 'DOMINANCE'!!   :lol2:

Roll Tide, e-friends!

Congrats Bama!  #+ #+ #+

:toast4:

Oooops!    :o

Once again, Corso is wrong.   :lol2:

Rashaan will make the not top 10.  :lol2:

I missed the pregame. Why did Bama's players not shake hands after the coin toss?

The umpire ended his directions to the teams with "... and shake hands", but it looked like the Bama captains were already headed to the sidelines when it was said.

 :dunno:

This ^  Our players were NOT trying to upstage the Husky players...

Okay, but our players do know the routine of shaking hands.   :dunno:

Sour, sourer, SOUREST grapes!

http://www.seattletimes.com/sports/uw-huskies/sure-alabama-is-better-but-huskies-still-could-have-won/

If Scarborough breaks his foot on his first carry, if Saban had started Dakota Ball over Jonathan Allen, if Jalen Hurts gets lost on I-285 around Atlanta & misses the game, if Washington gets 400 yards rushing, if 6 Bama defensive starters get sick after eating at a Mexican restaurant and can't play, if Eli Gold gives Washington the Tide playbook, then MAYBE, Washington wins.

MAYBE

Probably the worst offensive game we played all year, but our D carried the day. Clemson exposed OSU and the Big 10 overall. The 2 best teams will play for the Natty for the second year in a row.

Roll Tide!!! We got this!!!

That "reason" was the dominance of the...

When the players first went out on the field for the coin toss, they DID shake hands..then when the ref told them again at the end of the ceremony, it was a slip up..I caught it  why didn't some of you others? 

Wash is a bunch of poor losers..Like CPPB said once, "when we lose all we have is a bunch of excuses".  And they are a poor excuse for a football team.."win with class, lose with class"..

Right.  They DID shake hands.  But it was a MINOR mistake to not shake hands again before departing.  Looks like the Bama players were distracted by something on their sidelines.  See video (and excuse ugly comments):

http://www.si.com/college-football/2016/12/31/alabama-refuses-handshakes-washington-peach-bowl

Glad to see this video. 
87 was NOT downfield.  Cost us a first down and momentum.
Eli said 'maybe CamRob was downfield'.  Not according to what can be seen here.

 :dunno:

The refs got the numbers wrong.  It was 88 (OJ).  He was covered up by Dieter (11), and was ineligible.  Correct call.  Dieter was too close to the LOS.

It appeared to me like we played Washington with a stacked deck against us. They had 2 penalties of 10 yards ???

UW is not very good at holding!   :lol2:

And if a frog had wings, he wouldn't bump his butt.  :lol2:

These were the same Big10 officials that Jim Harbaugh went off on after Michigan's OSU loss.  I think he may have a point.    :unsure:

Just found out that there are no serious injuries from yesterday, Apparently, Reuben just had some muscle soreness.
