Independence Bowl Predictions

[TheBearww]

How will Joe Kines do as temporary head coach in the Independence bowl against Oklahoma State?
Will he do a better job than Shula would?

42-14 Bama :biggrin2:

Well we finally get the answer to the Radar question. I think Kines gave them a taste of what hard nose ball is about .. they will definitely be ready and up to task I say.

 

[Proxigean Tide]

24-21 Bama

 

[NYBamaFan]

Kines will have them as ready as they can be. I expect a victory...

 

[crimson fan man]

At least play the best twenty two players that they have.

 

[CowboyJD]

42-14 Bama :biggrin2:

Right score....wrong team.:biggrin2:

I think it'll be close.

 

[Nolan]

24-21 Bama

This is a good prediction. It'll be a competitive game, no blow-out by either team, I think. I'll say something in the neighborhood of:

Bama 27 OSU 19

 

[THE BAMA IRISHMAN]

BAMA 24

OSU 10

 

[SoldierForTide]

Team has something to prove... especially seniors.

I think it is safe to say that Kines/Rader will not be conservative at all. They let it all out and we get extra effort on both sides of the ball.

Early yet for a predition on points but Bama wins.

I'm going to be optimistic and say that a lot of pent-up frustration and anger will be released in this game. Our seniors have to be infuriated at what has become of this season. They're going to want to make sure that they don't go out on a losing note.

I think that we'll actually go against the usual trend and pull out a late victory.

2 late TD's seals the deal:

Bama 31
OK St 27

Kines took over as interim HC at Arkansas in 1992 after a loss to THE CITADEL. The next week, they beat mulletboy and the Gamecocks 45-7. It is safe to say that Kines CAN take a demoralized team and turn them around fairly quick.

Of course, then they came up against the Tide and got slapped. Kines made the statement after that game, (paraphrased) "I think that we just lost to the National Champions."

This is a tough matchup for Bama.But then again I thought the same thing going into the Cotton Bowl last season.I hope we win.I think we drop a close one 20-18.

 

[bamamoss2]

I hope I am wrong, but I just do not believe their hearts will be in it and there is too much uncertainty for the assistant coaches.

OSU - 31
Bama - 24

Hello all from Stillwater,
Pokes 38
Tide 31
Your defense will have there hands full and I am afraid the Tide will roll too.

 

[sweethomeBama]

The Bama will finally play the way they should have all season.

Bama 24

OSU 17

 

[BamaFanOJ]

I think our seniors will be fired up and will go out with a win...albeit a close one.

Bama 24
OSU 21

RTR forever!
