The Crimson Tide opened as a 15 1/2 point favorite over Tennessee, which hasn't scored a touchdown in its past two SEC games. Alabama's been favored in every game dating back to the 2009 SEC Championship, but it hadn't been more than a 14-point favorite against conference foes in 2014 until this week....

I hope Bama can beat them worse than we beat aTm yesterday.  I hate blow-out games but against the inbred nation to the north I wouldn't mind...  ;D

I see nothing wrong with a blow out game. I am like some coach said one time, if they don't want us to score then stop us. RTR!

There is definitely a distinction between merely blowing out a team and running up the score. If you have the waterboys in in the 4th quarter of a lopsided game, I have zero problem that. Continuing to try to score when it is out of hand with your first team in, then that is something else.

After Arky nothing is certain. But...if we can run up an early lead it would be great to give the seconds some away game snaps. If all the Vol fans leave, like they have in recent past, maybe Saban can get our fans to simulate home team hostility toward us in order to prepare for tighter contests in our near future.

Yeah, I totally understand that.  Tell me though, is scoring 5 TD's in the second quarter to go ahead 42-0 at the half with your starters (for the most part) running up the score or blowing out a team?
