Still looks like the only way to watch the game is paid streaming.

Or as Yogi Berra says, "You can always watch it on the radio."

Are we going to hear their 'Let's go Peay!' from their fans?  :dunno:

:lol:

"Peay is on the field."  :lol2:

Well I hope we have a great day and at least prove we are still playing hard. RTR!

You're pretty fired up for this game, eh Preacher?   :eyeroll: :eyeroll:

Shoot yea Chechem. We need every win we can beg for now. RTR!

I'm eager to see the young players show off.  Just hope the starters get the job done early.  

There's another problem.  Several of the freshmen have reached their maximum games without losing the redshirt.  So those won't play.  Still, we have a bunch of young WRs, RBs, and QBs who need experience.  Hope to see them.

Thanks for the link. That was very interesting. RTR!

3:00 mark is when Coach Saban talks about this year being affected "by external factors this year more than any other team" ...

First time I've heard CNS talk about.  Not enough specifics, but something going on inside this team.   :dunno:

I've suspected that. I hadn't heard anything concrete but they are playing like a team that has a cancer or cancers on the team or maybe the coaching staff. I hope I'm wrong.

I watched Bryce a lot during the Ole Miss game.  He didn't smile and laugh much like he used to.  Of course, we were losing much of the time.  Still, he doesn't seem to have that spark in personality he used to have.
 :dunno:

But I don't think he's the key.  Something else is going on.  CNS said "external factors".  Maybe NIL issues and demands on players and coaches. 

Well you know last year we didn't play with that killer factor also. RTR!

Well if you go back to the start I have said NIL would destroy us. One player getting paid more money in college than another will tear any team up because of the thought "Why you gettin more than me?" RTR!

Let's be honest, top players have always gotten either money or other benefits.  Coach Bryant's books discuss player compensations dating back to the 1950s.  

During the late 60s, after the NCAA cracked down on benefits, I remember friends who played for Coach Bryant saying they chose Alabama over the Aubs despite the money offered by Aubs, and don't know how players at Boogerland respected each other when some are paid/some not.

The players all wanted NIL, because that's what young people do.  But it might be that now the players see that money doesn't come without strings attached.  They now have more bosses, not just coaches, and not all of those bosses are supportive.
 :stars:

Every team is dealing with NIL and players getting paid, so it's not an excuse for Bama. There's zero reason why it should've torn apart our team moreso than Georgia, Ohio St, etc.   Pro players on teams don't make the same money.   Nor do people in hardly any profession.

GAME DAY!  ROLL TIDE!!!

No game notes for this game.  I don't even think I have a way to watch.

There's truth in what you say, HL, but personalities and egos are different on every team. Not all are going to react in the same way. Plus, it would be my guess that the amount of NIL money available to certain Bama players would amount to a lot. Maybe moreso than on other teams. Bryce Young is on major national Dr Pepper commercials. I don't see any Georgia players on any commercials, national any way.

Players not warming up according to Mike Rodak, beat writer for Al.com:

RB Jahmyr Gibbs, CB Eli Ricks, CB Khyree Jackson, TE Cameron Latu, OL Darrian Dalcourt, OL Damieon George, LB Kendrick Blackshire (wrist), LB Demouy Kennedy (knee), DL Justin Eboigbe (neck), TE Elijah Brown"

Hey Guys.... does anybody know of a free audio link for today's game?  Even the Austin Peay radio network would be OK.

Thanks.

If you have the sec network in a cable package and a streaming enabled tv you can watch the game stream for no charge.

THE GAME LIVE ON YOUTUBE:

92 yards for a Jase McClellan TD.  Bryce took a hard shot on third down but seems ok.  ROLL TIDE!!!

Let the games begin. RTR!

Team, particularly defense, looking unmotivated, not focused.

Young to Burton for 6!  ROLL TIDE!!!

Kool Aid with the INT!  ROLL TIDE!!!

i was streaming on You Tube and got cut off.  Seems like without subscription can only watch so long.

Any alternatives? 

Still working for me.  Try again maybe just a glitch.

Reichard with the FG!  ROLL TIDE!!!

I'm watching the live stream from the SEC Network.  Xfinity TV and internet.  Voice command "SEC network plus".  Select Alabama game, get a code on the screen, enter the code from a different device.  Select youe TV provider, stream starts.

I know, cumbersome but it works if you have the setup.

Steen being helped off the field.  Bryce has been sacked three times.  He shouldn't see the field in the second half.

Bryce is gonna get killed if we don't fix this O-line problem. Golly, he got pounded by that DB coming unblocked. RTR!

Does the link I posted on the previous page not work for you (via YouTube)?  Nobody except RE seems to be using it.
 :dunno: :dunno: :dunno: :dunno:

If not, try this one.  It's working:

I been watching this one and there was no problems on it. RTR!

Aside from running backs we just don't have any reliable receivers to go with our great QB.  ROLL TIDE!!!

Another TD.  PLEASE SIT BRYCE!  ROLL TIDE!!!

WHY IS BRYCE STILL IN THE GAME???!!!

34-0 Good guys.  ROLL TIDE!!!

Milroe in.  Finally!  ROLL TIDE!!!

A 34-0 win.  ROLL TIDE!!!

Anyone who's followed Bama FB as long as most of us have feels that something is "off." Will be interesting to see what happens after the season with guys going into the portal, and what they give as their reason for leaving.

In the past few weeks, CNS has looked as befuddled as I've ever seen him.  Is it that he just can't get through to this team?  Or that we don't have the talent level he thought we did?  What ever it is, it's been going on for about 2-years now.  (The 2021 team struggled in too many games too.) May not be easy or quick to fix.

I just don't see the coaching we use to have and I still say money of the NIL is still the problem. One getting more than the others. RTR!

This Alabama team is just an
absolute mess. And their
recruiting has never dropped
off so the most logical
explanation is that the highly-
talented players are not
being coached as well as
they have been in the past
11:28 AM . Nov 19, 2022

The Crimson Tide signed the
nation's No. 1 or No. 2 class in every
recruiting cycle since 2019

OH my goodness hscoach you are so right. Dead on perfect. We should be as Georgia in the CFP evey and in the NCG every year. When our players stop going to the nfl we will stop recruiting so well. When our players stop playing so well in the nfl we will syop getting good players. RTR!
