Bama Game Thread: OFFICIAL PREGAME THREAD - Bama @ Vols, 2:30 CDT, CBS...

[DzynKingRTR]

If I were a betting man, I would bet that 90-95% of the pregame "experts" will pick fifteenessee. Our guys need to prove them wrong and beat this team into basketball season talk.

I'll say this for Peyton Manning...

Pat McAfee feels like the guest picker.
Peyton feels like the analyst doing his job.

I never heard of the guy until people mentioned him on here and then the Manning broadcast had him on as a guest and I muted the TV the whole time.

Clearly a Lame attempt to mend fences with the sofa-burners in Knoxville.....

Or, it could be a reverse psychological ploy to fire Bama’s players up………Ponder that one

It would be a very Kiffin thing to do.

I'll be honest... I'm nervous

It's not about Tennessee though really.

Is Bryce even 80-85%? Can he play? Should he play?

Will we give Ty Simpson a chance if Jalen continues to struggle?

Will BoB call a competent game?

I feel the same as last week ultimately.... Golding will win it or BoB will lose it.

I'll watch all 60 mins either way

Roll Tide!!!

I am so nervous that I can't eat. Sure hope Bama wins today. RTR!

Yeah…….. Kiffin respects Saban and Bama, and he hasn’t forgotten the golf ball and mustard wars either

Two things I really want to see in this game.

1. a healthy, sharp Bryce Young
2. fewer to no mental lapses.

I think having already dealt with 105k hostile fans screaming their lungs out in Austin will be beneficial for our guys today.

Game day. This will be my only post today until after the game. Roll Tide.....mash them into jelly.

Same but it's because I promised my daughter we would go watch the new Halloween today. Tomorrow is my birthday and that's what she wants us to do. Blessed. Now beat Tennessee!

 

[edwd58]

It's a beautiful day in the Heart of Dixie, Roll Tide!!!

I don't think it would be necessary to throw deep balls. Just dink and donk up the field. We want to keep clock running, make it hard for Tennessee to get in flow on offense. I think we'll lend on running game little more.

No, but that’s the thing. If UT figures out the deep ball is not a threat, that will help them defense the short passing game and the run. I’m thinking we will try a deep ball early on just to show he can do it. Do it early before his shoulder gets too sore. I think about 20 p-25 passes is all we will see from Bryce.

maybe it was a slam on the barn.

Wouldn’t be shocked to see him take a few shots downfield

Roll Tide Roll!

Disregard. I misread the original post with Lane’s comment

 

[bamaga]

I don’t want to start another thread, but Texas doesn’t look like the same team against 3-3 Iowa St. and Ewers is missing receivers by 10 yards.

 

[deltatider]

It’s another day that ends in a Y, therefore Tennessee still sucks!

 

[bamaga]

I was listening to a sports radio station this week, don’t remember the sration, maybe the Fan in Columbus, OH or the Horn in Austin .( I listened to a myriad of sports stations at work ) . They had on one of their ’ sharps ‘ that said Tennessee is a paper Tiger. Their wins, while impressive , were not that great when you look at them closely. The teams played had issues at the time UT played them and he went into each team and the deficiency. He said picking Bama was easy money.
