Laura Rutledge shows where her mind is when talking to Saban.  Freudian slip?

I hope and pray we have a clean safe exciting game today, ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!!

A lot of guys will have to step up today to fill in for Jacobs.  The passing game will have to loosen the defense for Najee and Damien to blast through.

ROLL TIDE!

ROLL TIDE ROLL! RTR!

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181126/20953c6d447748a37714c4bc5f9f715e.gif)

Wish we had this guy too.  Terrell was unblockable in overtime last year.

Unless he's incapacitated, Jacobs should be able to play a bit of offense.  But he'll be replaced on special teams, and Damien will have to carry the load most of the day.

 :popcorn2:

 :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X

I've got to go over to a funeral wedding birth Xmas party before the game, but WILL BE BACK for kickoff, maybe alone.
 :unsure: :unsure: :unsure: :unsure:

Bwaaahaaahaaahaaa!!!!!!!!!!!! Fans are yelling Auburn sucks behind the College Gameday set.  :lol: :lol: :lol:

Uh oh! Corso just picked us.  :panic:

 >:( I hate when he does that. RTR!

(http://media.al.com/sports_impact/photo/auburn-week-14-2013-auburn-vs-alabama-game-day-fcba3c98d7fb9074.jpg)

Only an idiot would pick against us.  Just sayin'.   :lol2:

Yes but Corso knows he picks wrong so much he picks us hoping we will lose. RTR!

 :facepalm:   The earth isn't flat.  HTH

I can't get the radio broadcast here.  Any "official" word on Josh Jacobs' status for the game?

I haven't noticed any kind of Corso "jinx" since Saban arrived.   

Just saying...   :)

NO.  Hope he can contribute some.

We are in white again against Ga. Should make our receivers easier to see for Tua.  :lol2:

I'm back............

:jump:

Let's do this!!   :-*

Is it normal to want to throw up when Gary enters the set?

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dr0dUPwW4AEWCm7.jpg)

Our lines have to beat their lines.  Both sides have some injuries.
Let's DOMINATE!

 #+

Bama is on the field!!   #+ #+ #+

Alabama calls the toss: "HEADS".

It's heads!  We defer.

We kick to Georgia first.

 :clap:

 :popcorn2:

"To those who went before us!"

:toast1:

Good kickoff.... out of the endzone.

Here we go...

 #+

Buggs started.  GOOD!

BLOOM!!!! Down goes Fromm!!!!!!!!!!

Didn't see the sack because I was watching the receivers.  #5 was wide open on the crossing route.

Waddle with the big return!

Big return by Waddle.......... to their 28!!

 #+ #+

Thank you for 92and let run Waddle,. RTR!

Damien to the 7 and a first down!!   #+ #+

Speed! Speed! Speed!

Good throw would help. RTR!

Tua sacked and limping...

Tua intercepted and limping off the field.

 :'(

Well, that wasn't good. And Tua limping. That went south quickly.  :(

UGA is moved back to their 19 after the penalty.  But Tua is in the tent.

 :popcorn2: :popcorn2:

Foot hurts in

Well Jalen can get his shot at earning the right to be in there. Here go defense. RTR!

That pass to Ruggs was behind him because the LB was in the line of sight.  Otherwise, we'd have a TD and a lead.

 >:( >:(

Never thought I would say this, but I wish Dr. Pepper would bring back Larry Culpepper.  He wasn't nearly as annoying as this Fanville crap.

We have to RUN the Football. RTR!

Exactly!

3rd and 5 for UGA, and we have 12 men on the field. 
Timeout by Saban.  Whew!

Tua has a left ankle injury now, plus his right knee.
Maybe running is all we've got left!
 :dunno:

Tua had his ankle taped, and he says he's okay.

Good afternoon all! RTR
Come on Defense!! Let's hold 'em!

So far Buggs looks okay.  That's GREAT news!

UGA now punts from midfield.   :clap:

We weathered the storm. Now let's drive it down their throat.

Our ball at the 20. 

Tua coming back in.  Time for our first TD drive.   :)

Don't feed the animals!  :lol2:

Yep, we're battered and limping, but that's football.  Let's dominate again.

Do we see Jacobs??   :tinfoil:

Lightning just knocked my internet off. RTR!

Irv Smith dropped a 40-yard pass.

 >:( >:( >:( >:(

Eli:  "Irv Smith has caught 35 passes for over 600 yards, but dropped that one."

 :-X :-X

Oh Irv!!!  :facepalm:

That would have changed EVERYTHING.  Now we're back trying to hold them.
 :(

Jacobs was in on the first GA punt.

whew! Come on D - cover those receivers!

UGA dropped a TD.........   :tinfoil:

Thank goodness you're here.  We need help!

 :-*

Guess they are gonna let them hold our DL.

TD for Georgia.......... 20 yards across the middle.

 >:(

Bad matchup for us: Moses vs their TE.

Our LBs have a hard time covering folks. Easy TD for Ga. Time to get rid of the nerves and get it in gear.

UGA 7   Bama 0           3:08 in 1st Q

Jacobs in!

Jacobs is in there, and gets a short run.   #+

Attaboy Henry!

Ruggs to midfield with a catch!

UGA's best defender (Deondre Baker) has a pulled muscle it appears.

He walks off.

Najee inside the UGA 30...

Baker back in.

Good run for Najee.

Tua sacked again, but we're saved by penalty.  Whew again!

Jeudy drops a pass at the 5.   :dunno: :dunno: :dunno:

JACOBS!!!!

Jacobs to the 1.   #+

So much for flu-like symptoms.  :lol2:

Can someone make Gary shut up

Gary's already on my nerves.

Aight! Settle down team. We got this!

I'm sure the REC used the deer-antler spray.   :)

WOOOT!!!!!

TOUCHDOWN ALABAMA!! -- JACOBS POWERS IN

:jump:  :jump:  :jump:  :jump:

(https://expo.advance.net/img/8e8f6de752/width960/b36_v4s4864.jpeg)

Jacobs looks fine so far.

Jacobs gave the feed me sign and then looked like he wanted to throw up.  :lol2:

Maybe we will settle down now. We need to stop giving Fromm so much time. Knock him down Men!

He's throwing fast.  If we keep stopping their running game, we're good.

 :wall:

Well we run and they run. Can't stop the pass or run for some reason. RTR!

Fromm using the TE well.  First down again.

I'm not used to screaming at my tv during a game! Hopefully we'll start putting more pressure, faster pressure on Fromm....

At least Quinnen planted Fromm after that pass.

We've played this way the past 3 games in first half.

Swift on a shifty run for a TD.  7-minute drive after our score; 13 plays.

UGA 14   BAMA 7

Our turn.

Georgia came to play.  And they have that holding thing down pretty good.

We were holding their D-line too it appeared.  Seems the refs stopped calling holding in the line this year.

 :dunno:

Geez are they ever holding!

This is ugly.  :(

Tua forced it, and almost intercepted, but not.   :-X :-X :-X

Shut up. Gary

Is it just me or does the stadium look like it's 90% Ga fans?

They are better at their holding!

Not as ugly as last year's first half.  Maybe the defense will have to score one before we settle down.

Ruggs had that pass fly right through his hands.  WOW.

COME ON GUYS!!

DANG!

Why are the officials not calling the holding on Georgia on offense and defense

3rd down at our 11............ swing pass for a touchdown.

 :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:

UGA 21    Bama 7

TIME TO START BREAKING GEORGIA HEARTS AGAIN.

 8)

Ok, let's score here and go get some halftime adjustments like we did the last 2 weeks.

Like the way you think!  :toast4:

8!

I love Jacobs!

Great run by Josh Jacobs!! :) C'mon Offense, let's do this!!

JACOBS for 59 yards!!

:jump:

This is gonna be a knock down drag out.  :clap:

Alabama answers with a TOUCHDOWN!!

Jacobs with a fumbleroosky

:jump:  :jump:

(https://expo.advance.net/img/2d81a57edb/width960/34d_v4s5238.jpeg)

TOUCHDOWN ALABAMA!!

ROLL TIDE

Indeed, ROLL TIDE.

Bama 14   UGA 21

OMG Bubbleboy scares the crap out of me on these PATs in a close game.  :lol2:

Eli Gold:

"If I didn't already have a head full of gray hair, it'd have turned right there."

 :lol2: :lol2:

wow chech , a lot  of beautiful women in that picture

Just a web pic from the Aub game.   :dunno:

I nearly lost my mind on that play. Thank God he recovered.

Penalty on the punt, and they get a first down.

 :wall:

Then you're really NUTS on that punt!!   >:(

And then Gary's whiny a$$ on top of that.  :wall:

Don't know when we've made so many mistakes in one half!  At least not since the 2017 Boog game.

Second half coming.  Thank Goodness.

I have no idea why we went for the block on that punt.  :dunno:

Wouldn't it be awesome if we blocked this punt and returned it for a touchdown?? :) 

END OF THE HALF:

Bama 14   UGA 21


(https://expo.advance.net/img/96667f89f3/width960/4b7_v4s4891.jpeg)

Or if we didn't and we go to halftime!!  RTR
We got this Bama! I believe

Maybe CNS is deploying his "rope-a-dope" strategy again today to make them think they have a chance.  :dunno:

We need some halftime healing. Need to come out in the second half with a sense of purpose.

Jeudy had a drop and no catches.  Let's get him the ball in space; "SPEED SPEED SPEED".

Buggs is playing well, albeit not 100%.

Jacobs is a beast.  Eli said they're keeping him fresh (so is UGA by the way - LOL).

We're in good shape; just not used to playing a hot team with a hot QB.

We beat them last year in one quarter.  This is fine; time to prove ourselves.

And the SEC is saying, "SEE, WE HAVE 2 TEAMS WORTHY OF THE PLAYOFFS."

(https://vangogh.teespring.com/v3/image/rja4pvwWeTYsD09UaypKB8DBMyE/480/560.jpg)

Tua is 3/10 for 35 yards.

Jacobs has 77 yards.

No receiver for us has more than 1 reception.

Rushing = Bama 112  UGA 88

Yards = Bama 142  UGA 227

We're losing.  Time to turn this around!!

UGA hasn't had much luck with the jet sweep yet, but we should expect to see more of that.

And we need to complete some crossing patterns on their D, get the guys into space, and run wild!

@ Preacher: We need to keep running the ball if they play man D and blitz the LBs.

This first drive is huge to set the tone.

Has anyone seen Bama's run defense? 


Yeah, me neither...   >:(

INDEED!

3 n out for us.

 :facepalm:

I don't want to punt to this guy again!

 :popcorn2:

DEEEFENNNSSEEE!

Our defense needs to step up right here and get a stop.

Or a turnover!

(https://i.imgur.com/QUXhaqN.jpg)

Looks like more of the same so far.

Touchdown to Ridley.

 :facepalm:

The little elephant has to warm up a bit.  HTH

Not the way I wanted to start the half.

Looks like Kirby really has figured out our playbook.

Time to turn on the jets and put these guys away.

Well what is going on? RTR!

The elephant is no help today.  We are going to have to just play better.

Is Les Miles calling plays for Tide?




 :tinfoil:

That little elephant KNOWS WINNING FOOTBALL. 
Is he facing the right way today?  Remember, Tua is a lefty.

Does our whole team have the flu

UGA TE is killing us.  They're at our 20.

 :(

It's possible.

Kiss that elephant.

The all-world kicker for UGA MISSED THE FIELD GOAL!!

 :o

Whew!  I can't believe Hot Rod missed that FG.  :clap:

Ok Bama, that is a wide open door. Let's get back in this thing!

Jeudy for a first-down catch (fumble recovered!).

Intercepted at the 3.

 >:( >:( >:( >:(

TUA is way off his game.

They punt a mile.......... to our 30.

UGA defense & pass rush has been excellent. Bottom line, our defense has to stop them.



 :popcorn2:

ROLL TIDE!!!

Waddle....speed, speed, speed....

Speed!  Speed!  Speed!

Crossing pattern to Waddle..... SPEED SPEED SPEED..............40-yard TOUCHDOWN

:jump:

(https://expo.advance.net/img/4b7b0e0543/width960/8ee_v4s5183.jpeg)

Don't expect UGA to lay down.  They will fight until the bitter end.  This next defensive series is critical to keep them from answering.

Yep, tricky play........ naked run by Fromm.

THAT WAS HUGE!

Another stop by Bama. WOOOT!!!

OK, time to drive the field and take control.

Big stop on 3rd down again.

They punt to Ruggs............  why is he back there for the punt??

 :dunno: :dunno: :dunno:

:toast4:

Nice catch for a first down by Ruggs...........

END OF Q3.  Bama 21    UGA 28

(https://expo.advance.net/img/2d49a5b36f/width960/a02_v4s5245.jpeg)

This drive could wear out their defense.  Score here and we've got this easily.

 :popcorn2: :popcorn2: :popcorn2:

I'm with Eli about the grey hair! This game is going to make me need to have mine colored again LOLOL

I believe we are FINALLY getting things together though - the 4th quarter is ours! :). RTR

Yep, this drive is huge for the O.

One more time D.

:popcorn2:

Tua gets hit as he throws on 3rd and long, and he is hit hard.  Gets up limping again.

We punt to their 25.

PICK 6??

Irv has disappeared.  :dunno:

So has Jeudy.

And where's Waddle?

Defense has stepped up huge this half.  :clap:

Good, he was back there for the punt.  Our ball at the 20.
The ball bounced our way at the goalline.  Whew again.
Let's win this thing now (finally).
12:27 left

And against a great QB: Fromm.

Tua is hurt again :( His right ankle.

Tua down again.  Got stepped on badly.

 :(

Jalen's turn.

Time for Jalen to be a hero.

 #+ #+ #+ #+

Jalen has got this.

Come on Jalen! Let's FINISH!

Jalen finds Irv for a first down!!   #+ #+

Jalen is looking good!! Come on Bama!

Jalen to Waddle for 23.   :clap:


Tua is on the cart to the lockerroom.   :(

Damien right up the gut to the 8.   #+

3rd and 1 at the 7.

 :popcorn2: :popcorn2: :popcorn2:

Jacobs runs the wildcat to the 6.  First down.

 #+

15th play of the drive from the 4.  2nd down..........

 :popcorn2:

We jumped offsides.....

This game has become bizarre.

Georgia called timeout with us at their 11 and 2nd down.  

Jalen was going to throw there.

What to call?    How about a shuttle pass?

NO KIDDING!!

TOUCHDOWN Jeudy!!!!

Jeudy, Jeudy, Jeudy!!!!

Touchdown Jeudy!!

:jump:  :jump:

(https://expo.advance.net/img/b9ba0bbac7/width960/2b3_v4s5401.jpeg)

Now, one more stop D!  And you know they are going to give us everything they have.

:popcorn2:

And a kicker who wants a chance to redeem himself.

 :pray: Let's Go DEFENSE!!!

Midfield........... 3rd and 11.........

Come on D!!

WOOHOO!! Fake didn't work!! C'mon Offense - let's take it down the field!!!!

1st DOWN BAMA!!!! (Tua back on the sideline!!)

Irv again!!  First down!! :jump:

Pass to Waddle to the UGA 15!!   #+ #+

TOUCHDOWN JALEN!!!!!!!

Jalen runs it on a QB draw 15 yards to the endzone!!

:jump:  :jump:

(https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/USATSI_9691665-718x490.jpg)

JALEN!!!  ROLLTIDE!!!

Most amazing game I have ever seen.

 #+

Me too Coach!

And here goes DA Gary stirring the pot.  It was an incomplete pass.

MD this is exactly why I don't like him.  He is arguing for something that helps us, but he is WRONG and he needs to just shut up and let the fans enjoy this epic game.

DEFENSE DEFENSE!!!

FOLKS, either way we're in the PLAYOFFS!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT.

I'm so happy for Jalen hurts

SACK!!!!!!!!

 #+ #+

and who knows we may have to play Georgia again

3 seconds left and time for a HAIL MARY.

 :popcorn2: :popcorn2: :popcorn2: :popcorn2: :popcorn2: :popcorn2: :popcorn2:

Well I have missed out but I been praying and talking to the Lord for nearly 2 hours. Sorry I missed it but I was doing what I thought would help my team. RTR!

Yay ALABAMA!!!! Great comeback. What a game guys!! Glad we have time for Tua to heal before we play again.

ROLL TIDE!!!

WE WIN!!

Wow!  What a game!

Roll Tide baby, Roll Tide!

Thank you Jesus for answered prayer! RTR!

                                              REDEMPTION



                                               JALEN HURTS

 :worship: :worship: :worship:

Saban is 16-0 against former coaches.

Where Legends Are Made

This is a story straight out of Hollywood. Hurts relieved as QB in Championship game, ends up as back-up QB the next season, then enters game in 4th quarter of SEC Championship & scores the winning touchdown. What a story!!

I love that video.  It is time to add some more footage.

My phone is blowing up with texts from Jamos, 2, NALT, etc.
You guys are loads of fun!

 :-*

Saban on radio just said "Georgia was the better team today, and deserves to be in the playoff."

 :worship: :worship: :worship:

My Georgia friend said, "We cut off the snake's head, and another snake bit us."

 :lol: :lol:

:clap:

Agreed.

The committee is going to catch hell now.

What an epic comeback. I am so happy for Jalen Hurts, words cannot express it. And Josh Jacobs getting the MVP as sick as he was, is absolutely awesome.

I just hope that Tua can heal before the playoffs, and Jalen can get a bigger role as well.

Roll Tide, my friends!!!!!

And Terrell Lewis could be back too.  
#+ #+ #+

True dat!  :dance:

I was surprised at the passes Jalen threw.  First pass along the sidelines and I thought he lobbed it.  We've become accustomed to Tua's zip on the ball; Jalen was accurate, but the ball took a while to get there.

 :lol2:

Posted on Woolly.  NICE, eh?

Sounds like the Pain Train was rolling through...  #+ #+ #+

Kirk Herbstreit just gave his top 4:

1.  Alabama
2.  Clemson
3.  Georgia
4.  Notre Dame

I like it, and I think it is accurate.  We will see what they do tomorrow, but if it comes out like that expect 8 teams next year.

:clap:

I am not sure ND belongs in that bunch but how about UCF? RTR!

UCF is a joke.  I thought about ND as well, but there really is no one I can think of to put ahead of them.

E-cred! I watched that over and over again.  #+

It was posted on YouTube and copied to Woolly:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjq0fCGWZfU

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNGepRN7kjM

I can name at least 12 SEC teams that would beat UCF right now...

I'm 70 and have watched a LOT of college football.  I thought the NC game in January was the best game I'd ever seen.  I was wrong.  Tonight's SEC Championship game was, for many reasons, the best.  And not JUST because of the Jalen Hurts story!

I'm right there with you in age, and I agree it was a great game.
But FAR from complete by Bama.  We just didn't play well, but found a way to win.
Much like last year, the ball bounced our way at critical times!

I'm just happy to be riding this wave of victories.  Never thought we'd attain this level.
:toast4:

ED Zachary!! I agree with both of you.

when they ask JH what he was thinking about going in the game when Tua went down

"I put it in Gods hands"

 :worship: :worship: :worship:

da#@ onions  :lol2:

man o man what a game  :clap:

so many winners ...

Indeedy doo.
Okay, buddy, let's go fishing.   :lol2:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtskmrOzuY0

This is great!   :worship: :worship:

Alabama & Georgia’s last two matchups included 290 plays.  Bama led for only 9 of them (3%), but won both games.

 :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

Wow! Interesting. Georgia fan soul crushers; both of them.

Kirby Smart (about the fake punt):

"We had that play ready, were supposed to snap the ball fast, our receiver was uncovered, but we waited so long to snap the ball that Alabama covered the receiver.  It was there early, but we didn't get the ball snapped."

LSU GIRL is back!!   :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

"Josh Jacobs played sick, on empty stomach needing 2 IVs and won MVP"

https://www.al.com/alabamafootball/2018/12/alabamas-josh-jacobs-played-sick-on-empty-stomach-needing-2-ivs-and-won-mvp.html#incart_river_index

Jacobs was sick enough that he had not eaten since 6 p.m. Friday when he forced down a bowl of soup.

On an empty stomach, he ran for 83 yards on eight attempts and two touchdowns. The only source of nourishment, Jacobs said, came in the form of IVs. He got fluids before the game and at halftime.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nl_C9DCE0o

So you try a fake punt, 4th and 11 at midfield, where Bama only needed a FG to take the lead?  Georgia fans must be livid.   :lol2:

North Dakota State also is 12-0.  Why not put them in the playoffs too.   :lol:

Tua, Jalen, and John Parker Wilson entered yesterday t-2nd in Alabama history with 47 career TDs. Tua broke the tie with his TD pass to Jalen Waddle. Then Jalen Hurts tied him again with his TD pass to Jerry Jeudy.

 #+ #+ #+

These kids are fabulous young men and players. RTR!

Whatever happened to our first quarter play, even first half?  We used to blow opponents out before halftime.  If we go back to a fast start, we'll roll over anybody.

I mentioned it earlier in the season that teams weren't checking our receivers at the LOS. Teams figured that out and started being physical with our small (albeit fast) receivers. Georgia was very physical with our receivers and it created problems for us, most of the game.
