Title: 'Bama Enters Upset Avoidance Mode Against Vanderbilt Post by: pmull on October 08, 2011, 07:47:54 AM Traditionally, Alabama has dominated this series but has done so in routinely unimpressive fashion, with many sluggish performances and final scoreboards far closer than all objective analysis would tend to indicate. Scrappy Vandy teams battling the Tide hard and refusing to yield in relatively close, ugly games has been more general rule than exception, and given the strength of the Vanderbilt defense that would probably be no great surprise if that happened again tomorrow night. An upset seems highly unlikely, but Vanderbilt isn't an outright cupcake and hopefully 'Bama will perform as such.
For Alabama, the Tide needs to stay healthy and remained focused on the immediate task at hand. LSU will arrive in due time, but, in a general warning that will be mentioned many times in the weeks ahead, until then Tide must not get distracted and fall victim to its own hubris against a heavy underdog. http://www.rollbamaroll.com/2011/10/7/2474174/bama-enters-upset-avoidance-mode-against-vanderbilt Title: Re: 'Bama Enters Upset Avoidance Mode Against Vanderbilt Post by: BAMAWV on October 08, 2011, 07:58:43 AM ^^^^I hate when young girls try to analyze football. Bama has won 20 straight. Vandy so-so defense against a Bama offense just finding it's Heisman legs. Bama's crushing "D" against no offense worth mentioning. Over/under on Vandy first downs= 6. Tide out to prove something. 45-0 BAMA.

Of those games we are 1-1 and the win was an ugly one. However, to your point, this may be the best Bama team ever.

Yeah, we beat Vandy but it always seems to be ugly and somewhat of a downer, not a rousing vicoty. :popcorn2: Title: Re: 'Bama Enters Upset Avoidance Mode Against Vanderbilt Post by: bamalum67 on October 08, 2011, 04:37:48 PM I just love them rousing vicotys!!
