I know none of us on here are big fans of Verne and Gary, but after listening to TIm Brando for the past three plus hours, I would take Verne over him any day.

Eli Gold...

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

Well, guys my three kids and I lost our soccer games. Now I'm nervous about this game. I hope I'm not bad luck today... :-[

Morning all!  :coffee1:  Ready to get this thing started!

The way I see it, you all sacrificed the 3 games to ensure a win tonight. 
THANKS!  Roll Tide!
:toast4:

Good morning.  Have a winning day!   :wave:

That's exactly right! :lol:

Well, yeah! Oh, I wasn't suggesting that I actually LISTEN to Verne. I will have Eli and Phil on instead.

All my stuff is done - so Bama will win :)  I have confidence in Bama!!

Last year the wife left the apartment in the fourth quarter because I was getting so frustrated.  I hope we have things well in hand by that time this year.

Pre-game radio show:

Coach Saban said Bradley Sylve was still injured.  Said they'd have to evaluate him at game time.

 :popcorn2:

Terrie, you and phil can settle and enjoy this one.   :worship:
I think we'll handle LSU, albeit a battle.  Enjoy the ride tonight! 

I do have the sense that we're going to win big tonight, but LSU's offense is just good enough and our defense just injured enough to make this interesting.

LSU is a worthy opponent.  But our guys are ready to show the nation that we're champions (back-to-back reigning CHAMPIONS).

Here we go!

Light rain falling at BDS.

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

Settled into my chair and have my game face on ROLL TIDE everybody! Time to dominate and make LSU Azz quit!

LSU deferred.  We receive!

ENJOY IT, EVERYBODY!

Roll Tide!

Here we Go!

RoooooooOOOOOOOOLLLLLL TIDE ROLL!!!

Nice start YELDON.

Let's go Defense! Pick 6 would be nice... :popcorn2:

Pick 6??

 :popcorn2: :popcorn2: :popcorn2:

C'mon DEFENSE!!!!

THANK YOU LANDON COLLINS!!!!!!

Thank goodness!

WOOHOO!!!! Way to go DEFENSE!!

DODGED A BULLET
:jump:  :jump:

Maybe that scare was a wake-up call.  On two plays in that drive I saw at least 1 of our players looking at the sideline and pointing, not paying attention, when LSU snapped the ball.

What a play by Patrick!!  #+

:fingernail chewing:

Not liking the start to this game.

A SACK!!!!  WOOOOTTTT!!!!

The ball is bouncing Bama's way.   #+

Let's do something with it now.

We need to take advantage of these gifts LSU has given us.

Well, at least we got three points.. <sigh> 

FG is better than nothing, but the offense has got to find their rhythm.

We need touchdowns but three will do... :popcorn2:

Clearly, Christion turned the wrong way.  Otherwise, TD!

Both teams are playing nervous.  Bama receivers making route mistakes, AJ also had a few errant throws early.

If our boys will settle down they'll run away with this game.

LSU outplaying us.  >:(

Call your cardiologist.  It looks like we're in for a game.

I really thought this was going to be the year we didn't underperform against LSU. Guess I was wrong.

Ugh, 7-3.

Well, that was easy.  Hope we settle down.

 >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

We're good.  Just need to adjust.  We're playing 2-deep safeties.  They may have to help with the run game.  Have faith!    :unsure:

Lot of game left. We'll get this thing going.  :popcorn2:

OOOOOOOJJJJJJJJJJJ!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now we're cooking!  #+

Roll Tide! Let's get  a stop D!

BAMA 10-7

:jump:

OJ is going to be a beast!

Everybody's been waiting for OJ Howard to have a breakout game. 

IT'S HERE!

^
Bump!

Get a stop D!!!!! :deadhorse:

(http://m5.paperblog.com/i/51/510392/alabama-cheerleaders-had-plenty-of-reason-to--L-8c0vYI.jpeg)

That's better!

OJ, Mosley, Patrick, Collins

Players are stepping up

CJ Mosley is a star.
 :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship:

Good job D! Now let's get 6 on this drive!

Cooper!!!!!!!!!!

The Drake is averaging about 10 yards per carry.

And Coooooooooper

And The Drake and Yeldon

I think we are about to punch them in the mouth right here.

AJ now holds Alabama passing record.

 :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Doing what we want now.  #+

... and AJ.

NORWOOD TD, but injured.

"Just wind"  Eli says.

I hope Norwood is ok!  Maybe he just got the wind knocked out of him.

TD!!!!!!!!!!

And Big Game Norwood!!

Everyone feeling better?? :)  I have had absolute faith in this team. We just start slow!

Nice adjustment by Alabama's DEFENSE and OFFENSE.

Kudos, boys!  :toast4:

For yardage or completions?

Me too.  Long way to go, but looking great now!   :-*

Great catch by Norwood. Big TD there. Now don't let off the gas, let's beat them into submission.

Errbody happy happy happy!

Great coaching on our side. Kudos!! #+

ricky is on the leaderboard, but he picked against Bama like he always does.  He might be regretting that now. 

LOL!  Beckham just saw Landon Collins coming, so he decided not to bring that out.

Glad we are kicking it deep. No returns.

"Step on heir necks so the 2's can play".

Lets go D!!!!

We've got a game again!

Got to start getting pressure on mettenburger.

If, IF we win THIS game, we better be ready for Mississippi State! >:(

No if's here. We will win this. Maybe not by a large margin, though.  Our coaches and guys will step up to the level needed.

The big "whew" play of the first half!

Thanks, Zack.

Right in the...  er.... stomach.  Nice call Gary.

Yeah, he's been limping ever since!   :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

This is not starting off very well......

CJ on the losing end of a freak play.   >:( >:(

Well we have to pull this one out on the last play again. LSU may lose to others but they play us tough no matter. Our defense has work to do. RTR!

Golden horseshoe back with LSU!

:lol2: :clap:

Time for OJ, CJ, Cyko, and AJ to drive for a TD!

Well we held them to a FG.  Tie Game. 

Correction.  This pick might put ricky over the top.

:lol:  I don't need another woman in my life!!!

... and TJ!

I can't believe we're still trying to run kickoffs back.  Net -20 yards so far.  Maybe we'll break one.

 All things considered we're lucky to be tied right now.

Blocking was inside tackle; TJ went outside.   >:(

We can run the ball as long as we don't broadcast we're going to run.

Mettenberger is lucky that CJ has dropped 2 interceptions too.   ;)

WOW!!! Gary called that one.

Rain is making footing difficult!

he got something right tonight LOL  Great Call though

COOOOOOOOOOOOPER!   :worship: :worship:

Great catch by Cooper! Bama is on the move!

Brothers K with the blocks.

Going to have to slap my husband if he doesn't shut up about Yeldon not being "on" tonight!! lol
Great run TJ!

TD Yeldon!!!  What a drive!

TOUCHDOWN ALABAMA!!! <muttering> and my husband says he isn't on tonight....

(http://www.totalprosports.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/3-alabama-cheerleaders-1-420x410.jpg)

All smiles again!

(http://s3.amazonaws.com/br-cdn/temp_images/2013/11/10/2013-11-0918_04_15.gif)

Finally found OJ's TD!

It's about time for Mettenberger to throw a pick.  I'm calling it for sometime on this drive.

(http://gamedayr.com/wp-content/slideshow/2012/10/sec-cheerleaders-crimson-tide-edition/full/girls-alabama-570x359.jpg)

VT 42-24 over Miami.  Almost end of game!

Good call.   :pray:

My picks are in the crapper.  :-[

That was huge for many reasons. Now I'll take a pick-6 please.

Eli's call on the punt:

"Shank-apotamus!"

(http://cdn.bleacherreport.net/images_root/slides/photos/000/481/795/IMG_0189_display_image.jpg?1288726882)

Happy again!

 :lol:  I wish the radio broadcast was in sync with the TV broadcast so I could listen to him instead of Gary and Verne.

END OF 3: Bama 24 - 17.

:jump:  :jump:  :jump:

LOL I like the new Hardee's commercial  ;D

Norwood with a 1st down!

OK it is now or never. Our defense ain't holding us and our defense ain't holding them. Let's go ALABAMA. RTR!

Bad spot.  Yeldon got it.

Thanks to Yeldon!  :lol2: :lol2:

Have faith, Preacher!   :lol2: :lol2:

I'm having more FAITH in that O-line of ours now!

O Yes, I am pouring every drop of faith I have on them. rofl, RTR!

It's the Yeldon Show!

Touchdown ALABAMA!

(http://lubbockonline.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/superphoto/10821223.jpg)

ALABAMA 31 - 17

Love ya, Preacher!   :worship: :worship:

TD!!!  Now if the defense will make a good stop or two and the offense doesn't make any major mistakes, this thing will be in the bag.

Yeldon at 113 yards (magical numbers for the WINNER of this series!).

Looks like TX and WV are going to OT.  Tied with 16 seconds left.

:fingernails:

Get ready for the Mettenburger show.  :popcorn2: :popcorn2:

Not good.

Beckham is sooooooooooo good.

Mosley knocks it down!

:jump:

Missing Sunseri on special teams.

Defense tightens up.  4th and 13.  LSU going for it, timeout barely.

        :lol: :lol:

What's the over/under on how many times we throw the ball the rest of the game?

9 minutes to go. 
Their kick returns have been their only play this half!
If we don't score another TD, they have no chance to move the ball.

(http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5137/5584267190_a0c2a4865f_z.jpg)

Looking good!

Can't believe they reversed that penalty!  Cheap shot.

Now we pound them!

You watching, Aubs?   :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

Gary said a FG would put the game away.  I'll take it!  (score picked 35-14)

OK PENALTY THAT TIME!!

Run clock.....

Yeldon to the 6!

Ready for VICTORY

Texas scores a TD in the first OT.  Here's hoping for a push.

Group hug (back by popular demand).

For you, Leroy!

Shut up Gary!  RBs are going to lower their helmets.  I should know.

Say good night Gracie! RTR!!!

TX intercepts WV in the end zone.  TX wins by 7.

SACK

Wow! Our D is looking AWESOME!!   RTR

Great win and what a performance on both sides of the ball!

Finebaum was right.  He said, "Bama wins by 3 TDs".   :dunno: :dunno:

FIFY

(image didn't show)

:toast4:

RTR!!!

Loved LOVED the AJ/Coach hug!! The respect those two have for each other is amazing!

Wow! That's as animated as I've ever seen CNS! Jumped into AJ's arms. A very specials moment.  #+  #+

Roll Tide ROLL!

Ladies and gents, thank you for an enjoyable evening.

No way I can sleep now.  Maybe I'll join phil for a full day!

Looking at the stats, Bama won this game with rushing, time of possession, 4th down conversions, and turnovers.  Especially rushing.  Bama had 193 yards, LSU had 43 (numbers include sacks).  Turnovers:  LSU 2 Bama 0. 

What a dominating 2nd half.  ROOOOOOOLL TIIIIDE!!!

This will shut up some folks in the media.

LSU had -16 yards rushing in 2nd half!

I'm surprised that Mettenberger was able to drag himself off the field after that last series. Not one, not two, but three straight sacks. My guess is his OL will be buying their own food this week.

Maybe AJ will donate it for a good cause..because we smoked that butt

Proud of the adjustments we made and how our boys responded in the second half!]

Roll Tide!

There's a certain strength coach at Alabama who deserves a LOT of credit!

During interview on ESPN after the game, Coach Saban said AJ was injured against Tennessee and didn't throw during practice until Wednesday of this week.

CNS said it was a rotator-cuff strain.   :o

Maybe we should go on LSU fan sites and say, "Our QB can beat your QB with one rotator cuff tied behind his back.

 :lol:

^^^THIS^^^ I was worried at hafltime because I knew LSU got the ball first in the second half and I didn't know if Bama could keep LSU from scoring and possibly taking the lead. A job well done by our coaches in the second half and the will to win by our players. #+

Landry and Beckham owned us in the first half. What a great job the staff and players did in the 2nd half.
