Saban message apparent message to team

[tmaxam99]

Any member of Alabama’s football team who can’t appreciate the rivalry with Tennessee probably should play elsewhere. One of the oldest and most intense rivalries in the South, along with the Barn/Georgia (which I think is even older); the puke’s players sure didn’t forget about it. I think it’s sad that apparently Bama’s whole team did. Sad and not a good omen for what’s to come.

Not a good omen for what's to come? Last I checked the sun came up. Bama will be fine. Bama is sitting number one in recruiting rankings. You could change the outcome of the game with just one play. Have faith in the Tide..

I’m pretty sure Mike Leach learned a couple things from the TN tape

Yeah, and I wonder if he has requested the officiating crew from that game...

There has not been a rivalry with UT since Nick Saban arrived. Maybe there will be now.

And I'm not being hyperbolic. I do not think the Tennessee program has viewed this game as a rivalry in a while. This past weekend was the first time since 2006 *for a game in Neyland Stadium that there wasn't Tennessee fans flooding the exits midway through the 3rd quarter.

Put some plastic down before the game.

7 corners, 3 safeties, and Oatis in the middle. Line them all up and roll a dice on the sideline to see who blitzes.

Can't be any worse than Saturday

and if we don't know who's applying the pressure, how will Mississippi State?

Obviously...you don't live in Tennessee. When they lose...and KNOW they are going to lose...they disappear. When they win one. They talk. When they win two. They crow. Three in a row?? It is "We want Bama!". Hope MY tires don't get cut.

I'm 99% certain WA has allowed the rat poison into his head. Several "wait and see" comments and we're all still waiting to see...

I get that he's double and triple teamed, but between all the nicknames, the preseason Heisman hype, etc., it takes a really special person to not let those things impact how you prepare. The great ones figure out how to channel it - WA has the potential to be a truly great one, but he's not there yet, imo.

Even if he is being triple teamed, why are other players not getting pressures and sacks. If three of five offensive linemen are helping block Anderson, why are three defensive linemen not doing work? Thats coaching. 100%, no other excuse, coaching.
