I heard this guy won the rock/paper/scissors contest, so he should be the rock star today.

:lol:

Roll Tide Roll!!

We lost our 14 year old rescue pup this morning.  He was Bear.  Our other rescue, Nicki, already misses him as do Ginger and I.  This will be the first Tide game in 14 seasons where he hasn't been in the room with us.  ROLL TIDE!!!!

 :(  Sorry, buddy.  At least y'all had him for 14 seasons.

:toast4:

Really sorry for your loss, lstephen. Pets are family. The losses hurt.

14 years is a good run.  Y'all gave him a good life.  Thank you for that.    :worship:

Yeah, just think if he'd been with Tennessee fans for 14 years.   :unsure:

Sorry to hear you lost your pooch lstephen.  We lost our 14 year old lab years ago and I still miss her.  Dogs really are best friends.

We lost our Shelties and they were like kids. Sorry for your passing of the friend. RTR!

Coach Saban wants the team to settle down and control the ballgame, especially just before and after halftime.
 :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship:

Good afternoon!  Sorry to hear about the loss of your pet! Ours are getting up there in age - and seem to be slowing down.

RTR

Are we ready to rumble!!!

Roll Tide Roll!

Let us play a fabulous game men. RTR!

Yes, indeed.  Now that Terrie is here it must be time to ROLL TIDE!

Ole Miss won the toss and deferred to the second half.  Bama ball!

GAME TIME!!  ROLL TIDE!!!

 :popcorn2:

Smith!!!

North Carolina already up on Clemson 7-0?  Game just started.   ???

I actually tried to change my pick to NC based on earlier game scores, but I was about a minute too late (9 minutes before kickoff).

Of course, it isn't a question with Bama!  TD!!!

Touchdown Alabama!!!! RTR

Touchdown Tua-to-Devonta for 74 yards!!

Smitty!!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful!!!!!!!

ROLLTIDE!

Anybody know of any team that can stop that slant route with the speed that our receivers have? Me neither.

SHUT UP GARY!!!!!  :pullhair:

OMG!!!!  :o

Waddle, WTH??

Juggled the punt right into an Ole Miss player's hands for a TD.

 :wall: :facepalm:

I HAVE NEVER seen that before. RTR!

Hope it's a muff!

 :popcorn2: :popcorn2:

Excellent.  Can't be advanced.

Ole Miss' ball at the Bama 30.

This little QB is FAST!

tie game. 

If our D can't stop OM, dear God.  :facepalm:

Well..... could someone call the sideline and wake the Defense up please?

Ole Miss QB fakes into the line at the one, then he trots around the left end.

Bama 7  Ole Miss 7

I am bumfuzzled. RTR!

In better news, UVA leads ND 7-0.

 #+

Well, you can't fumble punts without bad things happening.   :dunno:

Well you either pop that QB and make him scared to run or we are in for a rude awakening. RTR!

Rich Rod made the worse decision of his life turning Bama down.  So glad he did!

We need a long drive to rest the defense. RTR!

Jeudy was open for a TD, but was held. 

FLAG!

First down.

Good pass to Ruggs, and another first down.   :clap:

Crap, Ruggs pulled up.

Pulled muscle??

 :( :( :'(

PLEEEEEEEASE let it just be a cramp.  :pray:

Henry is down. RTR!

That looked to be a pulled muscle. RTR!

More bad news.  I've lost Eli on Fun Radio.

 :dunno: :dunno:

He’s still broadcasting on local radio.  You should get him back.  It beats listening to Gary.

Anybody got any news? RTR!

Obviously not a cramp.

Then we go all Jerry Lewis on O. C'mon guys. Pick it up!

I switched to UMP Radio.  It works.  http://www.umpsports.com/

Henry Ruggs is questionable to return. :(

That QB is waaaaay faster than Chris Allen (#4).

 :(

We are getting eat up on denfese. RTR!

Questionable sounds better than it looked.   :-[

They are running a new set; different than we've seen.  We'll adjust.

Way to hold them Defense - now - BLOCK THAT KICK!!

Yep. Good to see him on the bike.

No facemask called against us, so they kick a fg.

Ole Miss 10   Bama 7

I agree! My old heart dropped when he went down.  :pray:

If we score quickly we will lose today. We have to go slow and rest the defense. RTR!

Good to see Henry on the bike. I hope it's nothing bad.

Ok, we held them to a FG and seemed to be figuring out their new set. Time for our O to get serious and roll.

Eli says D is getting direction on sidelines.

DJ Dale is still banged up, so he's not in there as much as usual.
They're exploiting that, plus using a new set.
And their QB is lightning quick.

Robinson breaks 3 tackles for a first down.   #+

First time we've trailed, so looks like Sark wants to power them and settle the team.  Good calls.

 :worship: :worship: :worship:

Robinson again for another first down.

Robinson taking over the game.   #+

Eli said Ruggs still has his helmet.  More good news.

Jeudy across the middle for a 20-yard gain and another first down.

Pounding is good.

Power sweep to Devonta for a first inside the 20.   :clap: :clap: :clap:

Offense seems to be on a roll!!! Let's get 6!!

UNC 7 Clemson 7

Tua with the TD!!! Got hit hard in the endzone but bounced back up.

This is what I like is running in for TD's. RTR!

Chechem are we 17? I thought 14. RTR!

Makes you wonder why it's a 15-yard penalty for hitting him after a pass, but after he's in the endzone it's "No PROBLEM".

 >:(

Thanks.

I always give us 10 points if we get the extra point successfully.   :lol2:

Najee stumbles and rumbles well down to the Ole Miss 23.  FIRST DOWN!

Players are dropping like flies.  :(

I always liked the ROACHES simile.   :dunno:

This is why I want us to run the ball as much as possible. RTR!

Clemson trailing UNC 14-7.

Jeudy on a crossing route - INCOMPLETE.

He was run into by the DB, and stumbled, but no flag.  Getting rough out there.  3rd down and 5 coming at the Ole Miss 18.  Timeout.

 :popcorn2:

Ole Miss is way too thin to keep up this pace.

Oh darn.  And I've got Clemson.   :dunno:

Their injured nose guard was 4th string.

Well, maybe.  Another OM guy down.
I don't know how that guy got off the ground and tackled Tua.  He was on the ground.

Can I exhale now?  :unsure:

Field Goal by Bulovas!!

Seems everyone is screwing up today.  Bulovas kicked off OB.

 >:(

Our substitution was slow, and gave OM a free first down.

 >:(

Waddle!  30 yard punt return

Things are starting to get right with the world again.

My computer locked up for a minute.  Everything screwy!

WADDLE FOR A GOOD RETURN: 30 yards!   :clap: :clap:

Robinson is having a good game

Our wildcat with Bolden goes screwy too, and we have to call timeout.

 >:(

He sure is. It's good to see.

Leatherwood downfield on quick pass.  WTH??

 >:(

Too many penalties!

A lot of poise by Tua on that throw.

Tua dodges the blitz and finds Jeudy at the 25.

Ruggs is back in. WOOOT!!!!

Ruggs slow on that failed pass.   :(

Smith in for a TD

SMITTY AGAIN FOR THE TD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Devonta crossing, catches a pass, then along the sidelines to the endzone.  Touchdown!!

Thank you JESUS for showing us Henry back in the game. RTR!

I'd like to add that we still need him completely healthy.  He's not there yet, but looks better than last time he was on the field -- flat out!

Shy Carter down.  :(

We should be able to run the ball now

WE NEED TO GET A DRIVE BEFORE THE HALF!!

Let's add one more TD before the half.

Najee for 11.   #+

Brown back off suspension.  Good run blocker

Ruggs isn't himself.

WOOT.  Thanks for sayin'.

TD. Smith again!

TOUCHDOWN D'vonte Smith!!

Smitty again!!! What a great day for him. WOOOT!!!

Devonta catches a WR screen, then along the sidelines to the endzone.  Touchdown!!

Time to rest Henry. We got this!  :dance:

Sure hope we do, especially if he's got a muscle pull.   :dunno: :dunno:

Ole Miss 3 n out.

Can we score again before half??

Ole Miss was 4 of 5 in third downs in the first quarter.  They are now 4 of 10.

Waddle almost gets away again.  TRIPPED (penalty) by the punter to save the TD.

 :o :o :o

I didn't see the trip on the first look but on the replay I sure did! Great call by the officials (sure don't say that often!)

No, good catch by them.   :clap: :clap:

SMITTY AGAIN!!!!!!! Having the game of his life.

How about two, 2.

We must've tired the OM defense! That along with our offense exploding = great job team!!

Devonta catches another TD.  He has 222 yards on the day! Touchdown!!

I haven't seen hands like that since Ozzie Newsome.

Looks like Smitty won the rock-paper-scissors contest.
 :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

Smitty is good. RTR!

And his hands are as long as my feet.  Check the concrete under Denny Chimes.  His are huge; Kenny Stabler had the smallest.

True.   :worship: :worship: :worship:

Ole Miss gets the ball first in the second half.

Hopefully our D can keep the Rebels down, and we can play some of the young'uns early.  I want to see Taulia play a bit more.

 8)

One of the things I was thinking about at half time is since Greg McElroy every Alabama QB has won at least one NC Ring. RTR!

Yeah. It's obvious that Ruggs needs to sit the 2nd half. Good to see the D playing better since they figured things out. Credit to Plumlee. He's a full blown athlete.

And it's Tua's turn this year!   :clap: :clap:

I wonder what CNS said at halftime on the interview? RTR!

Watch last week's.  Always the same.

 :-X

Hey I am watching on cbs sports site but youtube is playing it live also. RTR!

It was on the radio.  Said we were inconsistent and ragged.  Said we need to settle down.

We're starting slowly.

Two first downs by OM.

 :popcorn2:

That QB is eating us alive. RTR!

He tried to jump over Battle on a 3rd down run, and ended up dropping straight down.  Good athlete.  He gained about 5 yards, and so they punted into the endzone.

Here we go with Tua and Smitty!   #+

OM punts. Time to put this away and let the others play.

I am afraid that QB as good as he is will play a dirt defense that will put him out. RTR!

First time I've seen the Jeudy 'dead leg' in a while.  :lol2:

Jeudy gets 20 on a pass and run.  WOOT!

 #+

We need another TD real quick and let them other teamers play. RTR!

We have 82 yards in penalties, Ricky.

 :-X

Najee to their 40 and another first.

SMITTY AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!! INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tua to Devonta AGAIN.  That's 5 today!  RECORDS FALL WITH THAT!

 :lol: :lol: :lol:

I agree!   :clap: :clap:

Fantastic!  Time to rest the starters and give the backups Some much needed playing time.

I know my brother BUT there is NO WAY to stop penalties on an Alabama football team. RTR!

Except OM is driving.  If they score, put that wish on hold.

 :(

OM drives right down the field and gets a TD.  Bummer.

Shane Lee just got his meal punched. RTR!

Pretty funny only on FB at the moment:

https://www.facebook.com/SECNetwork/videos/239944446911521/

There is some offences out there drooling to get our defence with the way we are playing today. RTR!

The defense needs more work.  Keep them in the game.  Our backups can score on these guys.

Diggs returns the short kickoff all over the pacle, reverses field, and gets outside to the OM 39.

 #+

If you got points for hitting the upright we would lead the Nation.

Bulovas hits the upright on a 39-yd field goal attempt.

 :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:

We had 4th and 5.  For heavens sake, Tua could throw to Jamos for that many yards!!

 >:( >:(

You don't suppose they do that on purpose, eh?   :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

They bragged on the kicker and he hit the upright. Any time you brag on a player they make mistakes. RTR!

Jamos could throw to Tua.  :D

If CNS can not recruit a real kicker he needs to hire somebody that can find one and bring him here. Auburn GA Tenn even has a FG kicker. RTR!

Blocked punt  TD

BLOCKED PUNT FOR THE TD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Help him get between the uprights. RTYR!

Ricky, did you miss your meds?

We have the nation's #1 kicker, but he was hurt last week.  He'll be back asap.

I wonder if we can play defence like this the rest of the way. RTR!

Yes sir Chechem I am hurting sitting to long but we need a healed kicker. RTR!

Sorry, buddy.   :-*

That #47 didn't even try. RTR!

Fourth and 2 coming at our 37.  They call timeout.

Plumlee has been running circles around our linemen this series.  Expect a blitz to force him into the middle.

 :popcorn2: :popcorn2:

Ball over on downs!

They throw deep one-on-one, but miss connections.  OUR BALL!

 #+ #+ #+

Our D seems to be taking the rest of the game off.

OM is running right up the middle at us now, and our little LBs aren't there to plug the holes.

It's been a while since I've seen teams run on us like they are, particularly up the middle.

END OF 3RD QUARTER

I wonder if our LB's in the middle have got tired from the heat? RTR!

I'm thinking our D will work on that for the next 2 weeks.  Eh?   :lol2:

I hope our defence plays with a little more tackling. We aren't tackling at all up the middle. RTR!

Actually we haven't missed tackles in the middle.

We haven't touched them.   :lol2:

Pitiful defence. RTR!

4th and 7 for Ole Miss now.............

They get a TD pass over our man coverage.   :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:

McKinney got beaten by Mingo, plus we got a penalty for smacking the QB in the face after the throw.

 >:( >:( >:(

Okay, who gets to play QB this series?

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

Thank God we have a prolific offense.  :stop:

Well it is to hot to sit here anymore and watch the defence get pounded. Ya'll have a Blessed day. RTR!

Take care preacher.

WE'll miss your input.   :wave: :wave:

It will give the defense something to work on, and they'll get an ear full.  :wave:

Smitty when asked what it's like to have passes thrown to him from someone like Tua:

"It's a blessin'"  :worship:

Good game.  Always fun to watch the Tide.

Good time for a bye week.  Plenty to work on.

Has anybody heard of Henry? RTR!

Saban’s Press conference should be any time.  I’ll let you know if I hear anything.

Hip pointer.  Should be fine.

Good news.

And good time for a bye week.

I was in the stadium again this week, but not able to see much of the game. Obviously Tua and Smith had big days. I know Ole Miss’ first TD came after a fumbled punt return, how’d they get 24 more points? Was the D really that bad?

Yes.

There were chicken sandwich wrappers all over the field, and the D was slipping on them.   ;)

They got 3 points two years ago, 7 last year and then this whopping total. The defense has to get real tough before we visit the loneliest village on the plains. 

:lol:
One of the primary issues was our nose guard got beaten all day.  DJ Dale played injured, but he played.  The coaches seemed to have tried substitutions, but that led to confusion too.  The LBs faced a new offensive set during the first quarter (including 2 TEs in the backfield at times), which they finally adjusted to.  And the Ole Miss QB was lightning fast, getting outside numerous times by outracing linemen and LBs.  The guy is a talent!

The fans were just getting things ready for the chain gang crew/ garbage collectors when they come to town on the 19th.
