Bama vs. Indy in the Rose Bowl - Jan. 1

I have always loved Coach Stallings:

Gene Stallings’ advice to Alabama before the Rose Bowl, why ‘they’ve got a good chance’

The legendary Bama coach also shares what he learned from Paul “Bear” Bryant, plus shared his thoughts on Nick Saban, Kalen DeBoer and much more!

I actually feel better about this game than OU. Everyone keeps citing the SECCG as a metric to be used to determine our play. We are healthier now than we have been since Tennessee (apparently). I am hopeful that CKW has learned that throwing 3 on the line and dropping 8 does not work, since he dialed up pressure the last 3 quarters vs OU and killed OU's offense. If CRG can get the offense humming and Ty steady in the pocket and trusting the O-Line and his protections, I'm thinking we had IU their first loss by 10+ points. I'm thinking (and hoping for) a 34-20 Bama win.

The thing I like about this team is that we have really been through adversity and still have a fighter's chance in the Rose Bowl. What a season man. From looking like chumps the first game of the season to fielding a gritty team through a record number of wins against ranked teams midseason to getting thumped in the SECCG...huge highs and even lower lows. But here we are. Let's see how much left we got in the tank.

I'm just pleased with how the season ended up playing out. If us falling off is making it to the SECCG and the second round of the playoffs, I'm totally okay with that lol.

Indiana is perfect all around.....why is Alabama even showing up for this game.

Alabama should just quit and let notre dame play in their place.

If this game were played at Indiana......instead of rain we'd be playing in cold weather. 35 high....24 low...for New Years day in Bloomington.

Hmm. Yeah. I guess so. Bama just ain’t man enough.
