ROLL TIDE

Chance of rain today in Fayetteville (40% at noon), so we'll need to score 28 in the first quarter, then chase the slippery pigs around the mud.

ROLL TIDE!

Here goes another piglet chasing. RTR!

The last time Jamos was at an away game in the rain, I was with him. We witnessed the mass exodus of the Georgia fans 2 minutes into the 3rd quarter. Good times!

I hope he gets to witness it again today in Fayetteville.  :-*

ROLL TIDE!!!

 #+ Ya'll have fun. Hope you have a great game. RTR!

Ready to make the HOGS look bad!  ROLL TIDE

Well 20 minutes till kickoff. I thought Alabama might be on cbs today but I see Fla vs LSU is on there. RTR!

Eli Gold:

"Rain and lightning in the area."

 >:( >:( >:(

Dadgum weather delay!!!!  ROLL TIDE!!!!

Eli:  "Lightning is within 2 miles."

Well Eli is saying the teams are coming out. RTR!

Bama wins the coin toss and takes the ball (receives).


(https://oneclassblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/bama-girls.jpg)

They plan to start the game on time and hope for the best.

ROLL TIDE!

WHAT THE DEVIL IS WITH THE ESPN CAMERAS???!!!

Irv Smith 76 yards for a touchdown!!

(http://www.rolltidebama.com/wallpaper/14.jpg)

Lightning!

First play. Gosh that was great. RTR!

wow - 11 seconds into the game and already 7-0! I like it!
(good morning all!)

Worst camera work ever.  At least they could zoom in so we can see what's happening!!

 >:(

 :wave:  Good to see ya!

This is worse than watching a JP game.

Good pass and first down by Arky.

And no crowd much.  Wow.

Arky middle-screen passes are moving them for first downs.

Anyone see who was hurt?

We can’t see anything.

Too far away to tell.

Good play by Thompson on long pass attempt.

Ugh, injury ........... R Davis.

FUMBLEEEEEEEE....... Bama ball!

Good job defense. RTR!

We need enough about 28 before the rain comes in. RTR!

Eli says Davis is up and walking around.  Hope he's okay.

Too late.  It's raining now.

Cue Ricky.  False start on us.

Great D play there.  #+

We are practicing our penalties again. RTR!

 :o :o :o

Touchdown Ruggs! (Boy we got lucky to recover that fumble!)

Holy moly!  Can you believe the heads up play by Ruggs?!

Irv Smith again, fumble, we run it in...... what??

(https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/6uKRcwOQF_wolUqSvpzRRMOttS0=/0x0:4637x3092/1200x800/filters:focal(1899x913:2639x1653)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/58258947/902782250.jpg.0.jpg)

59 yards on the pass, Ruggs grabs and runs it in for the TD.

Everything Ruggs touches is golden!!   #+ #+

That's a pretty heads up play too. Who is Brad, Merk?  :lol2:

Sometimes it is better to be lucky . . .!  ROLL TIDE!!!

Thank you Lord for the fumble and the TD and now let the rain pour. RTR!

We know where the golden horseshoe landed!

Three plays, two touchdowns.  :gn:

Lol! Fingers slower than my brain.

Can we keep it a while?

http://www.intellicast.com/Local/WxMap.aspx?latitude=34.75&longitude=-92.27&zoomLevel=8&opacity=1&basemap=0014&layers=0039


The rain won't last long only while Arky has the ball. RTR!

Why?  This is more fun!!   :lol:

We have a kicker at least this year if he don't leave. RTR!

Well, it is our turn....

Great play by Diggs. 4th down.

Hope Jamos got to the game on time.

 :popcorn2:

Indeed

Eli just said we have scored today without a 3rd down play. RTR!

I like hearing Rashad calling the game. RTR!

Hurts in.

Two TDs on 3 plays.   #+

jalen is playing a RB. RTR!

HURTS!!  27-yard run.   #+

Harris with a nice run after Jalen's.

So many weapons.  :lol2:

Jalen is running wild. RTR!

Both QBs in there, and it works to perfection.   #+ #+

Eli is so much listening about both QB's on the field at same time. RTR!

Tua back in.  :stars:

Wow come on Irv. RTR!

Jeudy inside the 5 following Bama's first incompletion.

 #+ #+

I really wonder what DC's around league are thinking? RTR!

TD Jacobs!!!! That was a nice catch by Jeudy to set it up.

God has richly blessed us this year. RTR!

TD Jacobs!! #+ #+

And another touchdown! :). Doesn't look like Arkansas even HAS a defense.

Jacobs for another TD; his 6th of the year.  21-0 Bama.


(https://quarrylanefarms.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/katherine_webb_blowjob.jpg)

TDDDDD. Jacobs. RTR!

When it Rains it Pours on Arky. RTR!

NO KIDDING.  Thank you, Jesus (and Saban).

 #+ #+, RTR!

Biggest excitement of the day Eli is having to change headsets. RTR!

Davis is back in and healthy.

 #+

Rub route gets their receiver wide open.  20 yards.   >:(

Middle screen works again for a first down.   :facepalm:

Good pass on cross inside our 25.

 :tinfoil:

Arky TE open to the 9.

 :popcorn2:

The D got eaten up there. Diggs was beat like a rented mule. The incomplete pass before that was a pick play.

Well.  That’s a first. TD in first quarter against us.  >:(

Touchdown Arky. 

They missed an open guy on the 2nd down, then found him on the 3rd.

Bama 21  Arky 7

Rub routes, picks, screens, and TEs crossing all worked on that drive.

END OF Q1: BAMA 21-7.

(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/5d/33/19/5d331910c5d4a4674253f4352ef0b33f.jpg)

Time to make them pay.

And, time for some defensive adjustments on the sideline.  :4:

Fourth down.  Will Coach Saban go for it?

 :popcorn2: :popcorn2: :popcorn2:

Well things are slowing down a bit. RTR!

Unbelievable.  :facepalm:

dammn -- stuffed.

Can't believe they didn't make it.

Missed block didn't help.

Always go off tackle if it is 4th down. RTR!

Here comes Arky we gonna have to step up. RTR!

Are we human after all?

What is up with our defense today?   :dunno:

Wow, I hope we didn't put to many young guys in to early. RTR!

OMG, long run to the 5........

FUMBLE ON NEXT PLAY!!

OUR BALL!!

:jump:

Whew!!!!

Come on Eli do something. RTR!

Way to go Eli. You duh man. RTR!

It's a good thing they are inflicting themselves with mistakes. That would have been a TD.

Come big "O". RTR!

:lol:

DH great run. RTR!

I think Arky made us mad.

Aight we better knock some skin off their knees now. RTR!

Aight Jerry. RTR!

P-I-S-S-E-D

He was down and that was targeting!!!!

Fumble..... >:( >:(

OMG! RTR!

Hajee you don't win a Heisman fumbling. RTR!

DEFINITELY TARGETING (not called).  

Not sure about the fumble.

 :popcorn2:

Maybe CNS needs to get off the turf and start coaching. RTR!

Everything about this game is weird. Hopefully Saban and staff can get team settled at halftime and put the game away.

Well, they got half of it right.

Our ball (no targeting).  Elbow was down.

WHEW!!

If that wasn't targeting, I've never seen it (since Sunseri left).   :lol2: :lol2:

Thank you Lord. RTR!

Yeah baby!!! Jeudy Jeudy Jeudy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Perfect pass to Jeudy for a TD!!

Bama 28-7

TDDDDDDDDDDDD time to make them PAY! RTR!

Yeah, this is "real boring".

 :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol3: :lol3: :lol3:

Time to start busting up those pick plays.

99-yard drive, with help from the refs.

 :popcorn2: :popcorn2:

Bwaaahaaahaaa!!!! Jalen doing his Kiffin imitation.  :lol:

Great view of Jalen Hurts on the sidelines doing his Kiffin "TD" sign before the pass was thrown.

Man, we're blowing coverages.

OMG, you're scaring me.   :dunno: :dunno:

Good catch. Diggs had good coverage.

And their QB is hot.

Arky in our red zone again.  We need a defense.

 :popcorn2:

I can't see the game but it sounds like we are confused as everything. RTR!

Could we see Tua in the 4th quarter?  :-\

Jump pass by their basketball center for a TD:

Bama 28  Arky 14

Just hope we learn to cover their TEs.  Our D is a mess right now.

 :tinfoil:

The defense looks completely lost.

Is halftime going to be long enough to make all the adjustments that we need?  :lol2:

I have to give AR credit. They have a great game plan so far that's confusing the heck out of our D.  Hopefully, we can make some adjustments at halftime. If not, every team we play going forward will be taking note of their O plan.

Best news:

BAMA HAS THE BALL.

Start the stop watch, and don't look away.

 :popcorn2:

It's the Damien show now.

Damien runs thrice for 2 first downs

Waddle with his first catch.

Waddle inside the red zone on a pass.

Man, Tua has a quick release on the ball.

Waddle first and goal.

Time to stop running Tua and run these RB's. RTR!

TD Damien!!!!!

There we go!  Beautiful drive.  :-*

Aight let's pound it down there throat. RTR!

Tua limping.

Waddle another catch inside the 5, and Damien runs it in for a TD!!

(https://cdn.capperspicks.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/2018-Alabama-Crimson-Tide-Predictions-NCAA-Football-Gambling-Odds.jpg)

Bama 34-14

And miss the XP.  :wall:

Gosh did I pick Arky 14 points. I am sorry. RTR!

Well there is gonna be so much work at the half. Golly. RTR!

 :wall: :wall: :wall:

Come on Eli. Get the defense fired up. RTR!

I picked 13................. :-[

I had 10.  So, we're wrong, eh??

3 and out, WOOOT!!!!!

We finally stopped a screen pass.

Punt to Waddle.............  shank.   :wall:

Let's hope we're not TOO wrong.....

Stopwatch time.......

TD Jeudy = 60 yards!!

12 seconds

(https://78.media.tumblr.com/8c8b8635372e6b90efcc55edb60e33c3/tumblr_p1pmqnROrH1vilnh6o1_500.jpg)

Wow!! Jeudy is quick as lightning.
 #+ #+

Well shoot we need to let our defense rest. RTR!

I was just about to post that we needed to score before the half, because Arky gets the second half kickoff. I'm too slow for Jeudy, just like the Arky defenders.  :lol2:

We can't catch the pass and tackle the guy too.   :dunno: :dunno:

Well come on defense. RTR!

Arky center is injured.

 :popcorn2:

40 seconds left in the half.  Arky is punting to Waddle.

How stupid are the Arky coaches??

 :popcorn2:

Fair catch.   >:( >:(

Think we’ll see Tua start in the 3rd. Not quite time to sit him out.

Well done review booth. RTR!

HALFTIME: BAMA 41  ARKY 14
463 yards in first half.

(https://78.media.tumblr.com/1d5f10021b457a212357279f5dc697b0/tumblr_onpektTVat1qje60uo1_500.jpg)

Tua with 333 yards passing & 3 & TD's.



 :stars:

Well we have a whole half to go so we will probably see 98 points this game. RTR!

Stats:

Tua 10/12 for 334 yards.

Damien 67 yards

Jeudy 4/135

Irv Smith 2/123

First downs: 15 Bama 10 Arky

Total yards: 463 to 236

3rd downs: Bama 0 for 1

BEST STAT:

Tua has 3 TDs and only 2 incompletions.   :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

#+ #+ #+

This may be the game that SC gets his 98. Unfortunately, that would mean Arky would have at least 70.  :lol2:

I hope they figure out what is confusing our defense. RTR!

Well, 98-0 would be horrid rat poison.

I'm thinking it's either Greg McElroy's announcing on TV or Eli Gold on the radio.

 :dunno:

I'd like to see that kind of rat poison some day, just for SC's sake.  :popcorn2:

They needc to kick the bad one off. RTR!

Arky loses 2 yards on first play.

 :popcorn2:

Had him sacked, and let him escape.

 >:(

SLIDING????? He wasn't sliding. These officials suck.

WHAT THE CRAP??  TARGETING??

HE WASN'T SLIDING.   >:( >:(

They corrected it, but why call it?

What in the world is ghoing on. RTR!

Ok, they got it right and reversed it.

Thank you video review. RTR!

Bama stops them on 4th down.  WOOT!!

 #+ #+

Buggs with the stop!!! WOOOT!!! Bama ball.

Nice defensive series there. Seem to be tightening up.

Well done defense. Ya'll are doing better. RTR!

Just in: these refs suck.

BTW, these refs suck.  The forward gain was right at the line, not half a yard past.  But we stopped them anyhow.

But, THESE REFS SUCK!!

One of these days I am going to be able to afford cable tv and I will watch the games and be happy. RTR!

Where's my stopwatch??

 :popcorn2: :popcorn2:

Chechem I guess I just cheer you. lol, RTR!

Awww shoot we don't need "X" injured. RTR!

Damien for 20.

Damien inside the 10, to the 7, for a first.

Sounds like the holes are so big I could run through them. RTR!

Come on half yard. RTR!

That's a TD folks.

Touchdown Alabama on 4th down!!  Damien over the top!

Refs missed it again.

(https://usatcfn.files.wordpress.com/2018/01/usatsi_10512589-2.jpg?w=1000&h=600&crop=1)

That's gonna be a TD.

 8)

Man they held us on the goal line. RTR!

Anybody not wearing stripes saw it.   :dunno:

My pick was 48-13. We can stop scoring now.  :lol2:

Man Arky was standing tall though. We gotta get better. RTR!

NOPE

Yes sir. I think we are a minute behind TV. RTR!

Well I picked 52-14 but I don't think that will win at all. Both teams will score more. RTR!

Damien has 111 yards rushing.

 :worship: :worship:

Bama 48       Arky 14

I believe this is one of the full best O-lines we have in a long time. RTR!

No.  One team will score more.  You choose.

If I choose it is Alabama. RTR!

15 yards for patting the QBs helmet.   >:(

Practicing our penalties.

Well come on defense. RTR!

Arky trying to run out the clock......

D stepping up when they have to in the 2nd half.

Well. AR has a kicker.  :dunno:

Field goal for Arky:

Bama 48    Arky 17

Jalen's turn??

 :popcorn2:

Well we are done on my picks and score pick. Guess I can prepare for tomorrow. RTR!

Greg Mc calling for roughing passer call against Buggs.  The QB rolled left, out of the pocket.

 :dunno: :dunno: :dunno:

We'll need to ask hscoach about that one.

Good luck.  Hope the parishioners stay awake.   :unsure: :unsure:

I picked 49-17. Ain't gonna be enough.

:hat off to 2:

J-A-L-E-N is in at QB

 :popcorn2: :popcorn2:

Nice cheer for Jalen coming in.  #+

Prolly as much about protecting TUA as praise for Jalen.   #+

Jalen right on the money in a tight window.  #+

Good pass to Waddle of 17 yds for another first.

Devonta Smith catch on a screen to the 10-yard line.

D Smith with another as the 3rd quarter ends. Looks again like Tua isn't going to make the 4th quarter again.

Texas gashing Okla 38-24.   ??? ???

We need to power this TD in to pass 50 again.

 :popcorn2:

I didn't figure that one.  ???

Missed on the TD pass attempt.  FIELD GOAL??  Can we do that??

 :popcorn2:

Great pass. RTR!

Well there goes my 52. RTR!

GOOD.  Bama leads 51-17.  WOOT!

Arky is catching up in first downs: 17 to our 20.

Make it 18.

Well they are going to score again? RTR!

I knew how to fix Okla so Texas would win. I picked Okla. RTR!

Me too.  They were doomed.   :lol2:

 :lol2: That may happen a lot with this D, cuz you don't get credit for first downs when you score. That would give us 8 more.

Addendum: I looked it up.  You do get credit for a first down if the TD is 10 yards or more, etc.  CHECH

 >:( >:(  Bastids

20-19 in first downs now.

 :popcorn2:

TD pass for Arky.

Bama 58   Arky 24

 :yawn:

Arky got a first down for the TD (by ESPN).   :dunno: :dunno:

Tied 20-20 now.

Wow! They've got a monsoon in Columbia in the Mizzou-SC game.

USCe has a huge comeback against Mizzou in the pouring rain.  They lead 31-23

Did they need rain there?   :-[

Najee gets a long run.

 #+ #+

I am not sure who is picked in the USCe game? RTR!

We've got some new linemen in.

Mac Jones now in at QB.

We just busted 60!   #+

Robinson TD!!! 65-24.  :o

Robinson rushes into the endzone for another TD: 

Bama 65 - 24.

Wow - 65 points.... Roll Tide!!

TDDDDDDDDD hey hey. RTR!

One more TD might put the nail in the coffin. RTR!

Bama's entire O-line was 2nd string.  Nice to see them open a hole at the goalline.

 #+

Somebody wake up the punter. It's time to pack the bus.

What, a vampire coffin??   :lol2:

Man, Saban will not be happy about that run back.  :o

There goes the 65-point rat poison.

Looooooooooong kick return for Arky to our 20.   >:( >:(

Eyabi Anoma, true freshman, is in.  He's going to be an incredible pass rusher by the end of this year.

Arky has whipped us in all stages of the game. I am just practicing for CNS. All the run back, QB ran us to death. RTR!

Come on water boy tighten up on defense. RTR!

You sound just like him.

 :unsure:

Has Arkansas even had a penalty today?  :dunno:

Well why don't ref just give them a TD. So, now CNS can really fuss. RTR!

Gassers for the D next week.  :-X

Arky scores again.  Bama 65  Arky 31

Anybody predict 31 for Arky??

 :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol3:

Wow Eli said he pile drives in for a TD. RTR!

FINAL SCORE: BAMA 65  ARKY 31

405 yards and 31 points. Arky did take it to us. RTR!

Not even in my nightmares.  :lol2:

And got their asses beaten.

NO WORD ON INJURIES, BUT NONE OBVIOUS.

 #+ #+ #+ #+

Lord ty for a good win. Help all injuries to heal and penalties to go away. RTR!

Lucky for us, we don't need a kicker, punter or defense right now.

ROLL TIDE!!!  Bring on Mizzou!

I've got to hand it to Arky and head coach Chad Morris. They had a great offensive game plan that gave us fits on D. He was the OC at Clemson and did a great job there, plus took an SMU team that's been dead since the 80's and made them respectable. I think he is a good hire. BB left him with very little and it will take him at least 2-3 years to make them competitive.

Having said that, our D has a long way to go. This D is not a plug and play like years past. All these kids are raw and apparently, slower to develop. The talent is there, though, but the O is definitely going to have to carry us this year.

Oh, and our O is pretty good.

Yes sir our O-line is lot better then I even suspected they could be. RTR!

Very good analysis.   #+


I have to thank Chad Morris for exposing our defense before we face a better team.  Maybe those guys will work harder now.  I see the reasoning behind Saban's comments about defensive players who left early and would be playing this year.

I don't think BB left the cupboard bare, he just stocked it with beef when Morris prefers deer.

Our offense is definitely the best ever under Saban.

Our defense is definitely the worst ever under Saban, with the exception of Season 1.

 :lol: :lol: :lol: Quote of the day. E-cred!

The hogs couldn't score a touchdown on Auburn's defense.

Clearly the Boogs are better than us.   :-[

Tua up to 75% pass completions for the season.

 :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship:

Until they come into T-town.  No defense can cool off our offense.

:toast4:

RAT POISON

Best news from this game:

Arky is better than most thought, and they'll knock off a few SEC teams yet.

A&M too.

Fla too.

 :tinfoil: :tinfoil: :tinfoil:

true ... the hoggs have seemed a little better every week 

they just got hit by a Crimson Tsunami today ...  :lol2:

(http://www.woollyal.com/core/images/smilies/bigal.gif)

One thing is for sure the Arkies played better against our "D" than anybody so far. RTR!

Their QB was hot passing today.
They had multiple turnovers in the earlier games; played like crap.
They may have turned the corner.  Their coach needed a moral victory.

SEASON STATS FOR TUA:

18 Touchdowns Passing

ONLY 25 Incompletions

0 Interceptions

 :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship:

Need clarification from hscoach:

During the second half the Arky QB rolled out, started to run, then threw a pass just as Buggs tackled him.

Buggs was penalized for "Roughing the Passer".  

The passer was out of the pocket, but when I looked it up it seems the rule wording is about the QB being in a "Passing Posture"; no mention of the pocket.

WTH??  Should Buggs have been penalized?  I'm guessing not, because these refs sucked.

 :-X

We are indeed, witnessing something very special here. How great would it be if he were to continue this type of performance against the stiffer competition?  :popcorn2:

I think it would be great.I will say this Fla brought lsu back down to earth. RTR!

Some of those 25 are drops.  :popcorn2:
