Bama Game Thread: OFFICIAL Pregame Thread - Bama v. Cincinnati, 2:30, 12/31, ESPN...

[BhamToTexas]

I can’t wait to go to the game tomorrow. Parking lots open at 9:30. The tailgating spots are first come first served. Any idea how early they will fill up for this game?

I'd be interested to know what the crowds are like... UC v Bama fans. I am sure there will be lots of both, but I hope there are more Bama fans there than UC. RTR

Michigan does NOT worry me at all this week, but Cincinnati does. I'll start worrying about Michigan or UGA if and when we get past Cincy. Where is that verse in the Bible that tells us NOT to worry? That is really hard to do, i.e. NOT WORRY. RTR!!!!!!!

Matthew 6.34 - Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is it’s own trouble.”

I don’t know for sure if Armour-Davis will play or not. Golding was encouraging earlier in the week, and Saban isn’t known to play bait-and-switch games like that. So I’ll say it’s JAD.

Whoever does play tomorrow, I know it won’t be Ricks. Even if he could learn the defense quick enough (and given Saban’s famous complexity, I would seriously doubt that Albert Einstein could learn that fast), NCAA rules don’t allow it. You can argue the chronological calendar, or the academic calendar or whatever.

The NCAA defines the season as through the playoff. You can’t start the season with one team, transfer to another, and play for the second one, in the same season.

Ricks isn’t playing tomorrow. If we win, he can’t play in the NCG. Doesn’t matter that tomorrow is calendar 2021, and the 1/9 is in 2022, or even if UA classes have started by 1/9 (don’t know if that’s the case, but it doesn’t matter). He can’t play until 9/3/2022 against Utah State.

Thats my fault. I for some reason thought this was talking about next year.

He already has the #7 jersey. They never would give it to him at LSU, where it has great significance...

Where did you hear this?

 

[Crimson Steel]

Saban is in mind control mode. Things are clicking and our best game is yet to come. This train is rolling with confidence and momentum.

 

[Go Bama]

Game day!!! Finally. It always seems like a small eternity between the SEC Championship and the first playoff game. Our guys are well rested and prepared. I expect them to take care of bidness. RTR!!!

 

[Windsortide]

Where did you hear this?

Let me see if I can find the article? I’ll message you.

 

[CoolBreeze]

Today is the day folks. Game face on. Roll Tide Roll!!!

RTR!

I’m so glad we are the early game today.

 

[jcabama]

While filled with anticipation for todays game and the prospects of another in 11 days, I can’t help but get a little melancholy about the end of another season. The long spell between now and the 22 season seems interminable sometimes as I’ve lost interest in Baseball and basketball outside the tourneys isn’t enjoyable so much anymore either. That said, a DVR of us winning another national championship can fill in a few hours of the gap and refresh the good vibes! So boys—get started today on helping this old guy fill in some of the gaps and finish the job on the 10th! Roll Tide Roll!

Ive seen a lot of media types rightfully talk about how Will Anderson is a big key for us today. And those same types talk about Michigan's Hutchinson and his pass rushing partner in Ojabo.

They aren't talking about Dallas Turner nearly enough and I think he will really have a national coming out party today.

I also fully expect one of our young WRs to break out big time. Right now my money is on Brooks but could see it be Earle or Hall too.


In no order
1. Dallas Turner
2. Brooks (or Earle/Hall)
3. Latu/Billingsley
4. BR

I think those guys will be talked about a lot more after the game than they have been (by non Alabama fans) before the game.
