I’m a Tennessee fan and,unlike most, consider Alabama our traditional rival. You give credit where it is due. Bama is on a run which, even the Bear would be amazed to see.That,in itself says a lot.
It took a while, but I finally got the joke, I think.
FSU still can’t protect their QB like last year, and the post Dalvin Cook era looks a little thin at running back. Looks like Clemson will be at the top of the ACC again this season, as the Seminoles don’t look like a top 3 team.
How did that work out for ya the last time the Tide played ND for the title? 42-14.
I have to agree about those uniforms. What were they thinking? By the way, I’m a U of M grad.
I grew up a big UM fan, and while of course I rooted for Florida, I felt like that wasn’t even Michigan out there in those uniforms, certainly not the Michigan I grew up and rooted for in their classic uniform. Well at least they had the traditional helmet. Wish I could have said the same for the Gators, they just look silly in the white helmet (and they played silly, too).
Now that I think about it, they may have reminded me of Peeps. Not a very threatening presence on the field.
Did a quick search on Saban. I had no idea that he started at Toledo, went 9-2,and then went to be a defensive coordinator under Bill Belichick for the Browns.
(Seriously, how bad are the Browns, to have Belichick and Saban leading the team, and still not be better than 7-9 in 4 of 5 years? They went 11-5 in 1994, won the wildcard game over the Patriots, and lost to the Steelers after that.)
I also didn't know that he was absolutely mediocre at MSU, going 25-22-1 until he went 9-2 in his final year, leaving the team before their only Bowl game under Saban.
At LSU, he was very very good (48-16, one Title). Everyone knows that.
I didn't know that he only went 7-6 in his first year at Alabama (officially 2-6, with 5 wins vacated for improper textbook distribution)... and 113-12 since... plus 4 more Rings
Ha. How do you feel about the Florida offense’s execution?
I'm in favor of it.
Ding, ding, ding, ding! Winner!
