ROLL TIDE

Let the Pig Roast begin. #+

At least it ain't pouring cats & bulldogs.




 :eyeroll:

Best of to you guys. RTR!

RTR!

In addition to a win, hoping for three things...
[1] Coker has another good game with zero int's
[2] We see some new wrinkles for getting Drake involved in O
[3] DBs continue to show progress

Would also be nice if the punter could snap out of it.

Roll Tide!

Roll Tide

Consuming some pork bbq right now, getting ready for a hog-killing.

Hello Crimson Tide fans across the nation and across the free world!

Update from 2Stater:

I talked with 2.  He and his family traveled to Vero Beach for a funeral, so he won't be joining us tonight.  But he sends along his best wishes, and finished our conversation with...

ROLL TIDE!

So sorry to hear that. My best to 2 and family.

We might be in trouble.  Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum both picked Bama.

Let's win this for the QUEEN!!

Alabama wins the toss and defers.  Arky will receive!

 :popcorn2:

Here we go............... good kick.....

No return.  Arky starts at the 25 after a touchback.

 :clap: :clap:

Nice defensive series

Good D after a first down.  Punt, and Bama starts at their 12.

(http://gamedayrcom.c.presscdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/hot-arkansas-razorbacks-cheerleaders91.jpg)
Scrawny chickens they've got in Arky!

Heck of a block by #13.

Nice block by Stewart on that last pass.

Good.  That's a good role for him!!  Now if he can catch he'll be an All America!

Heads up play by Coker.

Good passing by Bama, but the inside defense is tight.

They're stacking the line, and they're pretty good.

There goes Stewart!

Well there you go.  :lol2:

I love how he secured the ball with both hands at the end of his run.

Alabama 3 - 0.  Good start.

 #+ #+

Great drive until we got to the 10. 3 is better than nothing, though.

First blood with an FG.

Great job D!

 #+ #+ #+ #+

D is smokin!

Sorry, I just ate a fast dinner.  Hey, I can eat and watch the big screen, but it's hard to type while eating!!

Bama starts this drive at their 32.  Henry on first down for 5.

Henry for a 1st down run!  WE MOVIN'.

Having internet trouble tonight.  >:(

I really like the play calling so far tonight.

Pigs D looks kinda gassed.  :dunno:

Ridley speed sweep right; speed sweep right!

Then Coker runs down to the Arky 15 for a first down.

:jump:

Bama ends QUARTER #1 at the Arky 10 yard line going in.

Bama 3-0

(http://www.nevadadailymail.com/photos/14/68/06/1468062-L.jpg)

Ridley was held!!   >:( >:(

ARRGGHH!!!   :wall:

Same here.

Reggie Ragland's shoulder is injured!

Hope Ragland's ok.

Good defense again!!  Bama starts this drive at their 22.

If they can't score, they can't win.

I'd lost Eli Gold until just now.  We were driving, then Eli went off, and we bogged down.

Now he's back!!

http://www.fun927.com/

King Henry for 12 yards and a first down.

Ok.  Let's punch it in for 6 this time.


Well @"-:?.,!'

Good pressure on Coker, ill-advised (off-balanced) pass, and Arky intercepts.

Ross Pierschbacher (#71) missed his block badly!

 :wall: :wall:

Coker had no business throwing that ball.  I hope CNS lights him up on the sideline.  This far into the season, that is unacceptable.  He should be so over that crap by now.

Everybody for Arky was holding!!  Full blitz and they were in panic mode!

Eli Gold said Arky has practiced fake punts, and Bama must have heard him.

Bama played the punt in PUNT-SAFE position.

(http://www.holyturf.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_7774-1024x682.jpg)

Yep. He tried to force it when it wasn't there. If sure there was a "conversation" on the sideline about it.

OJ Howard being examined (injury??).

Coker getting killed by the rush after each pass!

down 1. incomplete.
2. penalty ............. Drake breaks 4 tackles and gains just 4 on a crossing route.
3. Henry for no gain!

 :facepalm:

Finally JK Scott gets a LONG, HIGH PUNT: 53 yards and a fair catch!

And that after a low snap!

Arky starts inside their 15.  Time for a pick-6??

ARKANSAS HAS 2 YARDS RUSHING THUS FAR.

But still just Bama 3-0.

Arky gets 2 first downs on short passing.  Out to their 33.

Hello Reuben Foster!!

Smashed the Arky QB after a short run.

Cyrus Jones on a  nice runback, but a (crap call) penalty brought it back.

addendum: good call on Humph; not the call I thought they made.

Ridley gave up the first down on dancing after the catch!

High pass to Mullaney, intercepted, then unsportsman-like penalty on Can Robinson.

Arky inside the 20.

ARKY starts at the 12:

1. two yards on run.
2. QB runs wide, and gains 7, but is popped by Ragland at the sideline.
3. [3rd and 2]; WR wide open for a TD.

Arky leads 7-3.

Okay, we have just 1:29 before the half.

Can you say 'screen pass'?

Maybe we can get out of our own way or catch a break and score on this drive.

I like the way you think.

Let's do it!

Nice diving catch by OJ Howard along the sideline.  We've got a chance!

Let's go Griff!!!

No pressure, really, for Adam Griffith. 

He gets a chance to redeem himself with a long fg.

 :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: >:(

WIDE RIGHT; at least it was long enough (50 yards).

Halftime.  Arky leads 7-3.

Should be 21-0 by now.  >:(

Well, we are beating ourselves again on offense.



 :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall:

Yeah and watching UGA today it doesn't look like they have a very good defense either. If we could just not have turnovers or stupid penalty's. :deadhorse: :deadhorse: :deadhorse: :deadhorse:

CNS is going to have to make a decision on Griffith. It's obvious he has lost his confidence and just can't be counted on when under pressure. I'm sorry to say it but it's just the way it is.

Arkansas is a good team.  Their lines are good, and they have a solid QB.

We might break the QB if he keeps running, but he's their only rush offense.  So I guess he keeps it up.

We just need to put it together and drive the length of the field.  Doesn't look like Arky will give us anything.

(http://www.holyturf.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_7774-1024x682.jpg)

Nice return by Damien Harris.  We start at our 29.

 :popcorn2:

First play, 12 yards by Ridley catch!!  :jump:

Third play: Henry to midfield.  :jump:

Henry dropped the 3rd-down pass.

We were holding anyhow: 4th down!!   :wall:

Referees on our side; roughing the punter!

MAYBE!  Under review....... Eli says it looks like a reversal (fingers kick back when ball was touched).

UGH!  Not a great punt, but it got away and down to the 20 or so.

Kicking game hurting us again. Punter almost had punt blocked.

KSU running it up on #2 TCU.   :popcorn2:

About to be 35-17.

Our defense holds after one first down.  We're backed up again on our 13.

(https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/8c/3b/c5/8c3bc5237dba605847c4617818de2383.jpg)

Time for King Henry to break one!!

Geezers, Coker sacked, then Drake bottled up.  3rd and 20 from our 6.

 :(

Coker takes a sack, but I say that is an improvement.  He did NOT throw the ball up for grabs.  Now we just need to get the o-line to block.

JK Scott with a good, high punt.  But they'll have the ball at their 45.

We've got this!   :)

I hope those missed FG's don't become crucial.  :deadhorse:

Eli Gold saying the Razorbacks are trying to win this with special teams.

"We're wrestling in the mud with these hogs."

DANG QB ran 10 yards for a first, fumbles, but OB.

 >:(

BUT, under review.  He fumbled before the first down, and "YOU CANNOT FUMBLE FORWARD."

Eli expects Arky to go for it on 4th down.

"FAKE, FAKE ... FAKE, FAKE, FAKE."

[Seinfeld 1993]

Bama on own 15... penalty.

Great run for a first down by DRAKE.  :jump:

Great run by Drake!

1st and 20 from the 19.  Penalties are killing us.

 :pray:

JK Scott again: 58 yards.  Arky at their 20.

Arky saved by a delay call.  They were crushed by the D.

We need an interception or a fumble to get the big MO back.  

 :wall:

Come on guys.  Let's make something happen for us out there.

Why aren't we using 6 players to block on their 4 man rush? I guess I'm too stupid to think such thoughts.




 :facepalm:

Here we go again.  Another 3rd and long.

 :popcorn2: :popcorn2:

FINALLY, the D slammed the ball down, and the pocket was collapsing.

Near the end of the 3rd Q (1:50 left).

Cyrus Jones makes the fair catch at his 19.  Time for a hero!

RIDLEY 81 YARDS FOR A TOUCHDOWN!!

:jump:

TD!!!!!!!!!!  

Finally, we got something going!!!

Anybody breathing yet??

Where's Terri?

(https://usatthebiglead.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/uspw_65427701.jpg?w=800)

Great 3 and out. Got the MO back.  #+

FAKE PUNT BY ARKANSAS FAILS!!!

 #+ #+ #+ #+

END OF Q3: BAMA LEADING AND DOMINATING: 10-7.

(http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8353/8402559530_e8c1432fe1.jpg)

Great stop on fake punt & finally we get good field position. Now, let's run it up the middle 3 times.




 :facepalm:

After 3 quarters, we lead BIG in stats:

FD 16-6
Rush 95-55
Total 336 yards 254 yards

Time for Coker to hit Ridley again.  :popcorn2:

Defensive holding on Stewart gives us a first down...

:jump:

Coker!!  Not sure how he did that.

Touchdown Mullaney!!

(https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTRmtEAHlfEGVM6d5kwhA2xYPjuI8t2KHlI0CrvvTbK9p_W7CyN)

Hugs all around!

Now we're cooking with oil!
 8)

Coker is making much better decisions now.  I guess he got a little friendly advice at halftime.  :lol2:

E-creds for everyone on the previous page!!

 :unsure: :unsure: :unsure: :unsure: :unsure: :unsure: :unsure:

Thanks, Merk!

Another good kickoff by Bama.... bottled up at the 15.

I will take our defense over any in the country.

 :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Ok. I take back some of what I said about Griff.  :-X

Give the game ball to the defense and the D-coaches!  Arky played well tonight, but this D stymied them until they finally started taking chances!

(http://i2.wp.com/gamedayr.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/hotalabamacheerleaders2013.jpg?resize=750%2C550)

Great pass for TD, 17-7 Tide. Then Eddie Jackson gets interception deep in Arkie land.





 :popcorn:

It's okay; the other forums are crucifying him.   :(

Ragland is an absolute BEAST!!

Tide kicks FG. 20-7 Tide and now Arkansas will be passing on every play now.





 :popcorn2:

Defense smells blood. They are a hive out there! #+

Looked like Humphrey got hurt on that 3rd-down Arky (failed) play.

He got slammed.   :(

JK Scott has punted well tonight.  This time he drives them back with a high punt (from midfield) to the Arky 9.

 #+ #+ #+

Time for another  3 and out.  I'm feeling it.  ;)

Looking good (great, actually).

(http://orig10.deviantart.net/22c3/f/2009/002/8/c/alabama_cheerleaders_8_by_kicks02.jpg)

Yep.

Why did MD start his own thread?  :lol2:

You have to ask!   :dunno:

Just 4:44 to go, Cyrus Jones ran the ball back to the Arky 15 on a short punt, and Bama is threatening again.

WOOOT!

(http://www.americancheerleader.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Sydney21.jpg)

Henry for a TOUCHDOWN!!

(http://gamedayr.com/wp-content/slideshow/2012/10/sec-cheerleaders-crimson-tide-edition/full/alabama-tide-dancer-570x405.jpg)

HENRY!!!!  Beastmodedude! #+ #+

Time to dance, slither, undulate, and SMILE!

(http://gamedayr.com/wp-content/slideshow/2012/10/sec-cheerleaders-crimson-tide-edition/full/alabama-tide-dancer-570x405.jpg)

Humphrey is back in.  Whew, thought he was injured.

Nothing like a little help from Evans?!

Somebody had to score points for them!   :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

KSU 42-31 over #2 TCU with 13:00 left.

 :popcorn2:

         :lol:  True that!

Gentlemen, it's been a pleasure! A big ole Roll Tide to all of you.

Alabama wins 27-14!

(http://images.covers.com/editorial/2012/383x165/alabama_cheer082414.jpg)

When you go fishing on the coast, it's always best when the tide is running.  But my dad never paid attention to tide charts, so we'd while away for hours with little action, and I would secretly and patiently wait for the tide.  

Well, tonight was like that, only much worse.  The moon is regular; you know the tide is coming.   And fishing is fishing, it's not quite religion.  

So for three painful quarters, we cheered, yelled, screamed, cursed, and watched in horror as the clock kept running, Bama's offense remained stagnant, and Arkansas looked like it might just pull off its biggest victory yet under the Great Northern White Whale.  

And then there was the Play, a long bomb to Ridley, like that first huge wave crashing upon the shore.  We all knew it, the Tide was coming in.  The wave swept over the 100K souls sitting on the edge of their pews and the players on the field.  There were smiles, laughter, even students dancing.  

In the quieter times, during commercial breaks, you could hear people utter under their breaths, "Amen."

You write so well, my friend!   :worship: :worship:
And you pick so well (8-2) in the pick-'ems.   :worship: :worship:

But you didn't mention the TIDE DEFENSE.  That tide was high all night!

(https://cdn2.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/JdsKBPKflC3fFWZlGuFTnhTq2Lg=/cdn0.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/4146386/bamano.0.0.gif)

can't say I didn't worry some   :unsure: :facepalm: :lol2:

thank God our "D" was there fishing a outgoing tide
aka. "loading the boat"

or I might have threw up my Philly cheese Steak 

then the BOMB  :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

yeah ....  it worked out to be a pretty good night  8)

congrats Pro on the pick'em  and great story ...


p.s. "always check the tides"  :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

Once I was old enough to have my own boat, I knew to get a tide chart, and check the weather radio.   :lol2:

I agree with Jamos, if this team has any chance of a championship, the defense is going to have to carry the tide.  The offense is still too erratic and mistake prone. 

But watching the Arkansas game, you couldn't help but remember Reggie Ragland's quote, "if they can't score, they can't win."

Thanks about the picks.  It only took 6 weeks, but I finally beat that Bamarae person.   :lol2:

:clap: :clap: :clap:

There's good stuff in these in-game threads.  Too bad so few folks follow it!!

 :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

REVIEW:

[1] Coker has another good game with zero int's - FAIL
[2] Drake involved in O - practically FAIL
[3] DBs continue to show progress - WINNER!!

If the thread wasn't hidden, more folks might respond.
