ROLL TIDE

 :jump: :jump: :jump: :jump:

ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!!

What, no cheerleader pics??  Are ya slippin', Chech?

 :lol:

Little rusty I guess.   :dunno:

I hope to goodness we jump out early and rest our starters today. RTR!

Let's do this!!

(https://bamahammer.com/wp-content/uploads/usat-images/2016/04/8787937-ncaa-football-cowboys-classic-wisconsin-vs-alabama.jpeg)

Iowa vs Iowa State running late.

WHO CARES??

PUT ON BAMA!!

 >:( >:(

So the Iowa-Iowa St game is going to keep us from seeing the beginning of the Bama game?  >:(

Sigh- The networks NEVER allow enough time between games

Now it's about to be overtime.   :wall: :wall: :wall:

It's going to start on regular ESPN

Alabama won the toss -elected to receive!

It's on ESPN.

TOUCH DOWN JALEN HURTS!! (although I think under review it may be down at the 1)

I was wrong - his foot was in! :) YAY

Well, CNS wanted more explosive plays. He got one there.

Well that was a quick TD. RTR!

Even Eli was second guessing that TD, lol. RTR!

Come on Defense! RTR!

Got lucky there. He was wide open.

That really screws up my DVR.  I have to record both channels on the satellite, then record both to my computer, and then splice them together later during a commercial.

>:( >:( >:(

This ONLY happens with ESPN.  World Wide Leader in sports my foot.  They don't even know how to schedule enough time for a football game.  I can't remember the last time a game actually fit in 3 hours, and a lot of times they go over 3 1/2 hours.  No wonder they had to lay off half the company.

Yeah, but if that TE had been 7' 3", he'd have caught it for a first down.

 :-[

TCU about to score on Arky.

 :popcorn2:

Roll Tide, ya'll. Missed the score on the way home from work, but think there will be a few more.

7-0 TCU

Still on OT on the other channel and Tennis is supposed to start in 12 minutes.  They better not turn off the game to show TENNIS!!!!  >:( >:( >:(

Jalen in beast mode.

Yes, 13 more!

Great run by Hurts , I'm hoping to see a lot of passing by him today.

Okay I should've specified - I want to see Jalen throw and make completions :)  RTR

(https://a.wattpad.com/cover/63966184-352-k313795.jpg)

Like THAT!! Touchdown Alabama!! Way to throw the ball Jalen!

JALEN TO HENTGES!!!!!!! TE gets in the action.

How was that one??   :clap: :clap:

WONDERFUL! :)

Just wait until they start showing TENNIS!!!

I sure liked it.  :D

Iowa game over. Back on ESPN2

TCU n Arky tied at 7.   :popcorn2:

Missed the second score while making a ham sammich, but think there will be a few more.  :lol2:

THEY CAN"T EVEN WAIT UNTIL THE COMMERCIAL!!!!!!!!!!

Stop the penalties, guys!

Awful tackling.

Moseley looking like his brother there.

Where's the Defense? C'mon BLOCK THAT KICK!

I think you violated rule #241 in the good book.   :dunno:

Really.  That #94 (Payne) missed badly!

Well we let them have 3 points they may be it. RTR!

Okay, did anyone have Fresno with 3 points??

Boy wish I could smell some Chitlins cooking. RTR!

Pruitt obviously not satisfied with that series. Little azz chewing.  :lol2:

Jeudy with his first official catch.  :clap:

Jeudy with a catch that counts (called back last week).

 :clap: :clap:

This guy is gonna do a good job of catching balls I believe. RTR!

 :wave:

Hurts looking good!

Loving these sustained drives.

Nice mix of run and pass this series. I smell 6.

I've been eating bean dip. I'm smelling something else.

 :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

Jalen Hurts for an Alabama touchdown!!

21-3 BAMA

:jump:  :jump:

Didn't miss this one.

Touchdown Jalen Hurts!

TouchDown Alabama!! Jalen in for the score!

   :lol: :lol:

HAHA no words...... :facepalm:

Hurts looking great early.  :popcorn2:

Chitlins?

Tua time, or too soon ?  :dunno:

We have 210 yards of offense.  I may need to adjust my pick!

We can still do that, right SC?

 





:eyeroll:

Well, Fresno gets a chance first.

Bulldog O line getting a good push thus far on our D. Need to tighten that up.

Levi Wallace injured.   :wall: :wall:

Yeah, D line getting pushed around. WTH?

Wallace down! >:( Hope he's ok.

 :wall: :wall: :wall:

Not good.  He played REAL WELL last week against FSU.

Finger in his eye.  Should be okay soon.

Looks like an eye gouge.

He should be ok. D bowed their necks on that last series, then a break with the bad snap.

Looks like RED ELEPHANT is atop the picks with 2-0 (as is almost everyone but me and 2).

 :dunno:

Hope they really open up the downfield passing game for Hurts. He needs the game reps.

They must have heard ya, 2!

I'm in Saban's ear.  8)

TCU 14   Arky 7

C'mon D, step it up.

More missed tackles by us.  WTH??   :dunno:

Lot of missed tackles on D. Not a great pass rush, either.

Dylan Moses in there playing well.   #+ #+

Looks like the D is playing lots of players. They are kind of hit and miss right now.

#6 defense was everywhere.

Can we not run Hurts every down, please?

This is turning into the Jalen Hurts show! :)  RTR

Damien Harris for an Alabama touchdown!!

Alabama 28  Fresno State 3

:jump:  :jump:

Harris for 6!!! #+ #+

Wow, 28-3 with time left in the 2nd Quarter!! Now THIS is Alabama Football that I love to watch!!

What a great drive that was. Damien with the TD.

Bama 297 yards in the first half.   :clap: :clap:

Even the announcers are harping on Jalen about his passing skills.

TCU 14 Arkansas 7

Penn St. 14 Pitt 0

Tennessee 14 Indiana St. 0

Let them harp. He only has one incomplete pass.

Oregon 14 Nebraska 0 (in less than 5 minutes of game time)

Yep. He has to be a long ball threat to keep D's honest.

Sigh - Listening to my husband in the living room. He's not a happy camper with that score!

Perfection is overrated.

 :yawn:

I agree. He's doing fine.

It seems to me that Hurts is depending on his legs too much and doesn't attempt enough passes.  Maybe I just don't know enough football.  :lol2:

Hope he can switch to more passing when we play teams with stronger defenses.  Otherwise, I am wondering how he is going to lead us to a national championship.    

I am impressed with Jalen's progress. Some criticism about some missed opportunities in last week's game, but he ran for his life a lot. Makes it a little tough to spot open receivers.

D still struggling.  :facepalm:

BLOOM!!!!!!!!!

We finally stopped them, and they punted.

Maybe a 90-yard pass to Ridley??

 :popcorn2:

Good thing they've got some receivers with hands of stone. Tony Brown was beat like a rented mule on that play.

The rented-mule co-op wants a word with you.   :clap:

We lead Fresno State 28-3 in 3rd quarter and we risk putting our starting QB & the SEC Offensive Player of the Year back in the game?




 :tinfoil:

Well, that sucked.

Not PETA?  :lol2:

Whatever you whispered in Saban's ear didn't word. 

They'll get their chance at you after the lashings.

Harrison showed up!

Dude, it's not Scarsburrow.  :wall:

FIRST DOWN!!

I knew you guys wanted to see more offense.

 #+

Another completion to a TE (Smith's first catch).   :clap:

Lots of folks getting work today. Like to see that.  :clap:

We're not kicking the stew out of them, but we are able to play a lot of players.

Come on, O line! Get that push.  :facepalm:

(https://coedmagazine.files.wordpress.com/2016/01/alexsummers24-1.jpg?quality=88&w=750)

Pappanastytoast jumps into the stats with a field goal.

Bama 31-3

:jump:  :jump:

What, no fumbles or interceptions yet??

 :dunno:

Arky trails by 7, but is about to score.

 :popcorn2:

Joe Kines isn't back by any chance, is he?  ???

Arky receiver caught the TD, but didn't pay attention to his feet; field goal failed!!

WOW.

Great run by Harris!!   #+

And another!

Indeed, finally Najee broke out!   #+

Najee looking good.

Tua's drive bogs down.  We punt again.

(https://i.pinimg.com/736x/a9/7c/1e/a97c1e61ee0c7e9ba968c32b79db1f53.jpg)

Time for our defense to shine.

(http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.3466563.1504485039!/img/httpImage/image._gen/derivatives/splash_300220/aptopix-florida-st-alabama-football-44081-jpg.)

I hope we've got a field flipper after Scott leaves.

Finally, a sack!!!!

INTERCEPTION ALABAMA!! :) #28 Averette

Chech, there's your interception! #+

INTERCEPTION by Averett run back to the 4!!

(https://img0.etsystatic.com/219/0/14476258/il_340x270.1286976156_3lv9.jpg)

I'm smelling 6  unless it's 2 again.  :lol2:

Well, at least Pappy is getting some FG reps.

Believe me, you'd know the difference.  :lol2:

 :wall: :wall: :wall:

While we're cheering ourselves, Fresno runs the kickoff back 65 yards.

Special teams let that one get away from them.   :-\

Well, CNS will do a butt chewing, so we'll work on that this week.

 :(

Fresno did themselves some good today.  They will lose, but didn't play sloppy; they're solid.

We played a vanilla defense, and put in the reserves early.  Still, they're a pretty good team.

Who predicted Fresno would score 10 points??







 :wave:

I agree. They are better than I thought going in. Good QB and pretty good overall defense. They will challenge teams on their schedule.

That was a pretty throw by Tua!   #+

And Tua puts 6 on the scoreboard!! Well done!! #+ #+

Touchdown!!!  :)  RTR  Way to go Ruggs!

Wow!  Great drive by Tua.  He's looking good.

F-I-N-I-S-H-E-D

 :clap:, Glad to win this one. RTR!

Enjoyed watching the game with you! Much more fun than watching Irma to see if she decided to come to the panhandle! :)  Have a great week and stay safe!

Always, my friend, always.

Just win and be happy.

:jump:

 :-*

Enjoyed it, gang. Now to watch the Barn burn down via Clemson!

Nice win, but I'm still a little concerned about the D and the O line. Seems to be a lack of leadership, maybe. I know we played a lot of players, but even our first string D struggled. Fresno took the playbook from Clemson and moved the ball consistently with short passes. We could not come off their blocks very well and they exposed us the same. Hopefully, some leaders will step up.

Jalen was great today, even with the O line caving at times. Glad Tua got some playing time today. The TD pass to Ruggs was a thing of beauty.

Still early in the season. I remember how bad we looked against Ole Miss 2 years ago on defense, and went on to win the Natty. We have a good chance to do that again this year.

One game at a time!

The O-line is scaring me to death. We had 3 returning starters but it looks like a freshmen line. Crap.




 :dunno:

It was a lackluster performance but that was about what I expected in week 2 coming off a big win and being favored by 6 TDs against a boring cupcake.

Again, we go through this every year. The team wins against a quality to elite opponent in week one, comes out somewhat flat in week two against a cupcake, and we all lose our minds. This is a championship team. Relax and enjoy the season.

Phil, I lost my mind long before this game.  :lol2:

Seems to be a common problem in this pacle.

I try that every week too.   :dunno:

I'm good with the team, but that ESPN really gets me fired up.  >:( :lol3:

I noticed that lowly NBC (the Notre Dame football network) scheduled 3 1/2 hours for their game.  :dunno:

Maybe ND would have won if they'd stopped the game after 3 1/2 hours.

 :lol2:

I've been watching the replay on You Tube and we looked kind of sluggish to me but after the big game last week I would think so. I am glad to see tosu, and nd get beat. Well done GA.  RTR!
