Crimson Red Sports

Let's do this thing.  Neither rain, nor hail, nor dark of night...

ROLL TIDE

Looks like the sun is shining.

Roll Tide.

 :popcorn2:

Roll Tide!  I am so fired up right now!!!

 :popcorn2:  Blue sky.  I'll take it.

Roll Tide!!!!!!!! #+ :popcorn2:

The field looks great.

No white-out condition.  Traditional uniforms.

I'm sticking with 49-0.  I just can't bring myself to change it.

If you're looking for exotic uniforms and lack of tradition look elsewhere.  If you are looking for real football keep it right here.

   BLOOM!!!

I see the announcers are fired up too.

Stick to your guns SC. :makemyday:

Roll Tide!!!

Eli Gold on the call of the coin toss.  SEC crew working the game.  Hope they're a good crew.

Call is heads.  Tails.  PSU wins.  They take the football first.  Wow.

Big mistake on their part.  The correct call there would have been "uncle".

I love when our defense silences the crowd on the first drive.

Great coverage after a great and high kick.

Play ball!

Long throw - inc.  Ha ha ha.

lets go D

They had us beat on that pass.  Tighten up boys.  But now they are behind on down and distance.  3 and out coming up.

No pressure.

Let's get some Pass rush

How did we let them convert on 3rd and 7?

Roll Tide from Beijing.....at 3:40 AM.

Roll Tide!

We're learning, but they're holding the ball.

RTR Beijing.

NIce job

Jesse got a great push on that play.

Well, it's obvious that Coach Saban just can't have a D with a pass rush. It must be the schemes he runs, that's the only explanation I can think of.


 >:(

big 3rd down

They miss JoPa on the sideline.  Another TO for PSU. 

Big play coming.  Watch the screen pass.

And it was against that right tackle that just left the game.  :D

We need intensity.

Hang in there friend. I wached the 1973 Alabama/Notre Dame championship game at 1:30 am in Germany. It's worth it.

Roll Tide and an e-cred for getting up so early! :)

D is tired.

Basically, Penn State is dong the opposite of what the Tide is expecting.

Finally stopped them on 3rd down.  Keep on eye on Jesse this game.  He is driving his guy backwards every play.

Afer 5 minutes of game time?    ???

Major league mistake on 4th.  Delay of game (and we're saved).

Mistake was the announcing.

I havent seen JoePa do any coaching.

Just this series. :D

RTR in Beijing

OK boys, 3rd and long.  GET OFF THE FIELD THIS TIME!!!

Good job.  43 yard attempt?

Block that kick

Kick is good.

Okay, boys, now we have a game.  3-0 PSU.

We need 7pts here.

Go Figure - he had to make THIS field goal after missing 2 last game!

I'm thinking that our D is probably a little scared to go over to the sideline....

MSU 34 - 41 Boogs.  3 min to go.

I've watched a lot of football in my 30 years.  I have never seen a team use 3 timeouts on the opening drive.

It looks as if our D are just out of place! RTR!

Hi Terrie.

We're okay.  We adjusted as the game went on.  Their O-tackle hurt an ankle.  Might be big later.

I'm sure they wont need them later.

TR bad man runnin! RTR!

omg

Penn State averaging one point per timeout, on 6 point pace.

Come on guys

We are out of sync bad! RTR!

Ball was tipped.

Good punt; good coverage.

I hope defense adjusts and gets a 3 and out.

   :lol:

#+

I hope our guys get themselves together quickly this hurts my feelings. Like I said maybe a 1pt. game. RTR!

 Nerves, nerves, nerves.

Hey Cocah Hank you see what I see we need that one stand that takes some wind out of them. RTR!

Jesse straight killed that guy.

C'mon, 3 & out!

How in the world did we miss that tackle? Thank you for Holding. RTR!

excellent D

nice

Was the holding on the guy blocking Jesse?  I was waiting for the replay but didn't see it.

MSU inside the Boog 10 with 25 secs.  Can tie with a score.

Good job defense but we got to wrap up on the tackles. RTR!

OMG, inch??

MSU is 1st and goal inside the 1 with 18 seconds left.

 :o :o :o

That was a good spot

If THEY HAD A TIME OUT THEY COULD CHALLENGE.

wow what a play. CNS is tricky old goat. RTR!

And then some.

#+

Clock ran out with MSU on the ONE yard line.

stopped.  >:(  :(

MAZE.

PSU is whippin our Oline bad! Great catch. RTR!

Nice pass and catch

Offense got a good play then. RTR!

We need a score but I hope it is 7. RTR!

 #+

 #+ Roll Tide TD

Roll Tide!

TD Williams.  First TD for him since the ONLY pass from the wildcat last year.

OK, it looks like it is going to be 49-3.  :D

MSU gets stopped on about the 2 inch line and time runs out. Amazing. Once again, Auburn wins when it should have lost. They have a defense giving up 36 points a game.

Good tackle by Alex Watkins.

AJ had some close calls on that drive with some of those passes.

I'll take that score :)

defense looks good.

THIS looks like an Alabama D.

Now the forecasted pain has shown up.

That was a Bama tackle. RTR!

Yea they don't tired anymore. ;)

For those who are worried about the tie breaker, PSU has 37 rushing yards.

Well I think I guessed 87 but I can tell you my other teams do not even need the tie-breaker cause I am already broke. rofl, RTR!

Maybe.  But they outplayed MSU in this game.  Anybody (else) pick Boogers in the pool?  MW and ___  ;D

That number will go down when they get behind and have to pass on every down.  :D

Dre is looking good out there.

I would love to see us block a punt one time. RTR!

I liked the last 7:30 better than the first 7:30.

MSU's D was even worse than I had anticipated.

Lacy looks good.

Good blocking on 3rd and one.  FIRST DOWN.

Me too.

Good push on the line this drive.   :clap:

The O-line is blocking better now.  Dont'a must have chewed them out on the sideline again.

TR is a MAN.

I think I figured out what happened to us on that Penn State Drive.  That was Alabama saying "thank you" to all the help Penn State gave us after the tornadoes!

Here we come. RTR!

BLOOM!!! THERE GOES TR!!!!

Way to go 3

Aight! Let's punch it in. RTR!

We should have ran the ball 2 plays in a row.  Now we have to pass again.

MFBATR finally with some with blocking.

What's your call?

I haven't seen AJ throw it, but last year the swing pass to TR or MI was a standard call here.

If we get this score the run for a bit might be on. RTR!

3 pts. ok. RTR!

Welcome Sqwig.  10-3 Good guys.

^^^THIS^^^

3 pts is good. Let's see the D bring the hammer.

What in the world is all those initials by trent's name? I hadn't heard anything about him? RTR!

This is more scoring than I expected this early.  I think we're golden today.

Mostly crude (bad ass...)

I'm calling 3 and out for PSU.

BINGO!! That's exactly what I expect to happen.    :popcorn2:

Sp. teams looking good.

You don't want to know Ricky.

Indeed.  Hi 2.

Jesse almost got him in the backfield that time.

Oh my. I need to pray harder I guess. RTR!

Dre is looking good over there today.

Smokin' D!

3 and out is great! Now we need to score. RTR!

They were talking about our size and weight at LB. I wonder if anybody else has this type of meat in the Middle? RTR!

3 and out.  Now we are in the zone.

Good call on the 3 and out, Coach.

If I told you I'd get banned.

We're ahead 51-43 in rushing yards.

OL needs to shore up

Maybe not now.

That's okay.  No need to put it on AJ in a 3rd and 13.  Good punt.

man what in the world is TR suppose to do when they meet him in the backfield. We better find and O-line. RTR!

Understatement of the year. This is pathetic. When all else fails, throw a 2 yard pass.   :dunno:

What happen to EL. I thought he was gonna get going. RTR!

It seems the OL is hoping another run like the ARKY game a couple of years back.

Jesse batted it down.

Dre having a good game. Not good about Upshaw.

Upshaw hurt - out.

that's a fumble

I could tell that from here.

It will be overturned.

What's wrong with upshaw?

Good lick. Our ball! RTR!

Definite fumble.

FUMBLE!!!!

Boy Uncle Nick will go crazy. RTR!

Ref: He's knee was down. :joker1:

good job Kevin. RTR!

Good catch Norwood

ECU up on VT 7-0 late in the first half.

I agree with Blackledge.

UGA 3 USCe 0

Great short pass for first.

Blackledge does not suck nearly as much as many broadcasters.

Play action is helping out now. RTR!

The short passing to TR is working great, and can take the place of running the ball if need be.  That will actually loosen up the running lanes later.

First and goal.

Now pound the ball in this time.

a lot of TR on that drive.

Let's score again boys

 #+ whoop whoop Roll Tide!

BIG drive after the fumble.  Give it to the D.

Tough, tough football game. RTR!

That's not even close. TD

(http://www.3sib.com/sandbox/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/richardson.jpg)

Hey I love all you floks and before I forget it! Happy 9/11 with Pride! God Bless!

Well we need a fumble and 3 pts. before halftime. RTR!

 17-3 WOOOOOOOT!

I told you the running lanes were about to open up.  :D

 #+ Trent

There is going to be a lot of hard work in this one. RTR!

Now we need to come out in the 2nd half and... say it with me... FINISH

FINISH! rtr!

UGA 6-0

OL looked great on TR's TD.

I missed the Coach interviews on radio and TV.  Anybody?  Anything of substance?

FINISH

Nothing notable from Saban.

Not posting or reading during live action because I'm about 5 minutes behind.

Do you get the TV broadcast?

Understand.  Glad to have you here.  Coffee in a big cup??

On TV he talked about the fake punt.  He said he thought the offense was sputtering and that we needed to do something to change the momentum of the game.  He said the back missed the whole but we got lucky.

Well, while we're are waiting... You guys remember when Crimson Red Sports was pink? Those were the days. Thanks for getting this jumpstarted SC. :clap: #+

Upshaw has a hip pointer.  At least it's not a knee or ankle sprain again.

Thanks.

Streaming from a website.  Two years ago I had a Slingbox but it broke at the beginning of last season and I haven't been home since.  Hopefully I'll be able to replace it this summer and be set for next year.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v111/ruskigbuss/emoticons/happy65.gif)

Yes, laughing.

(http://smileys.emoticonsonly.com/emoticons/l/lol-1074.gif)

Good deal

Starting with an Indonesian instant cappuccino.  Will move to the real stuff a little later.

(http://www.crimsonredsports.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=2.0;attach=2;image)

Thank heavens.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v111/ruskigbuss/emoticons/happy23.gif)

I'm drinking ice water.  Odd, eh?

It looks like PSU has 49 yards rushing right now.

  :clap:

 ??? I'm not. :D

I'm banking on them getting some useless runs late in the game, after we're so far ahead the game is decided.  At least that was my thinking when I guessed 129 yards (sigh).

Radio interview with CNS paraphrased:

Penn State came out with stuff we hadn't practiced for in first drive, defense had to adjust.  Shows their maturity that they were able to do that and hold them to a field goal.

Great summary.  Thanks much.  E-cred for the help. *

I'm interested in how we're going to start the 2nd half on offense. Maybe a long pass?    ???

The O-line has actually done a great job in pass blocking so far this year.

I taking shots of Maker's Mark!! ;D

Looks like you were right.  Wasn't open.

Yikes, Crisp.

Bad snap on the punt.  Lucky to get 34 yards and no return.

Not a good start.

Nico is needed for us to shut them down.

way to go Lester

Not an interception.  Close, but looked like it bounced. 

He tried to sell it after first looking sheepish.

We just haven't looked in sync except for that last drive in the first half. Part of that is the Penn State D, but our running game has stunk.

 :dunno:

The officials ain't got one right all day. RTR!

INTERCEPTION THIS TIME!!!!

Good interception. RTR!

Well, maybe.

I'll repeat, way to go Lester maybe I'm right this time :)

They are going to say that one hit the ground too. RTR!

I think we win round 2 on the review.

That one bounced off something, either the ground or off the body.

It is time to drive and let the defense rest. I hope! RTR!

I think they got both reviews right.

Why in the world don't we fake to TR and play action my Lord. RTR!

3 and out is going to wear our defense down. RTR!

31 yard punt this time.  >:(

AGAIN, we need intensity!

USCe 7 - 6 UGA

Our defense has to win another it looks like. RTR!

There will be more O-line questions after this one.

Upshaw is back in.  WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT.

We're going to INT one.

4 passes in a row that we nearly intercepted.

It looks like PSU has abandoned the run.  Now their rushing yards will start to go down.  4 almost interceptions in a row.

Upshaw back.

We have slipum on aure fangers. RTR!

Fantastic coverage by Will Lowery.  Make that 5.

I'm getting very uneasy about this team. We couldn't run against Kent State and now Penn State. Plus, we still want to throw 2 yard passes. This is a recipe for disaster.


 :think:

maze! :clap:

BLOOM!!! SUNSERI

What a block!!!!!!!!!!!

The running lanes will open up when they are convinced AJ is going to eat them alive in the passing game.

Vinnie Sunseri!!!!!

Vinnie is a whammie man! RTR!

(http://blog.al.com/tide-source/2009/08/large_Maze%20TD%20vs.%20Ole%20Miss.jpg)

Maze looking good AGAIN this week.

I was wondering who that was flying thru the air.   #+

Right, Preacher, and MANY PEOPLE questioned his scholarship, saying it was a waste.  Many people.

It's a bird... it's a plane... no it is SunseriMan!!!

I hope he's 100%. We need him.

I'm glad to see Norwood having a good game. Hopefully, he wil continue with his play.

A penalty is not what we want. We need 7 pts. RTR!

What has happen to EL? RTR!

Williams has GREAT hands!!!

Norwood making some big catches today.

Outstanding catch by TE Williams. We need to throw to him more.

Bump for SunseriMan.  I think that is what we need to call him from now own.

:what:  Why are we not ramming the ball down their throats instead of passing again.  It is only a foot to go.

Don't understand the FG. Even if we fail on 4th, they got 99 1/2 yds to go.

CNS has too much respect for JoPa

I think we need to pass to the TE more since he's almost always covered by a LB. This will make teams (especially LB's) be a little more on their heels and help our running game.


 :popcorn2:

I know CNS wanted the points and I would never question him, but seems to me we could have gotten those 2 feet or so. Even if we didn't, we have them penned back at their goalline, with out defense playing lights out. But I ain't a coach and ain't smart enough to be one, so there.

I think TR got in actually on 2nd down after watching the replay.

Man we need a stop now so our Offense can get 7 pts. if it is at all possible. RTR!

That was a nice catch.

PSU is killin themself in passing. RTR!

"The Samurai"!

Barron INT

Mark Barronnnnnnnnnnn! RTR!

Lost my Bama radio.  Jox doesn't work either.  Sigh.

Mark Barron!!! They can't take that one back.

The Red Barron!

Roll Tide!!!!

Nice run EL

3&8

Well we are not letting our defense rest any. RTR!

FOURTH QUARTER

(http://marshallramsey.com/wp-content/uploads/Four.jpg)

My mind whispers tradition. My soul screams pride. My veins bleed CRIMSON. My heart pumps TIDE. ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!

From my daughter MMM!

My mind whispers tradition. My soul screams pride. My veins bleed CRIMSON. My heart pumps TIDE. ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!
.

Okay, got my radio back (had to reboot).  Ready to ROLL again.

Our RBs seem to have one man tied directly to them and he goes or stays wherever they are. RTR!

TR has 75 yards right now.  He had just a hair over 50 at half time.  He is on pace for 100 if he gets the ball some in the 4th.  I said before the game that if TR got 100 the O-line would have to play much better than last week.

Virginia Tech 10  East Carolina 10 (start of 4th quarter).

Yes! Please!

... and they have.

ROLL TIDE DICK COFFEE!!!

Yes, they have.

What?  You dipping your beak too?

Well, I seem to be current with ya'll now.

I'm guessing you have your TV on mute.  :D

How about a 13 minute drive to run the clock out so I can take a nap before church?

I think Cody Mandell needs some extra practice this week.

Well it is time to show what we got. RTR!

That would mean either the planet stopped turning, you've been on a jet, or we've had a whale of an earthquake.

Has he kicked one farther than 35 yards today?

+8 for TR.

Nice pass to Smelley.

Okay, let's rephrase.  My broadcast appears to be current with the live broadcast.

+5 for TR about 89 total right now.

Officer, I only had four.

Okay, Marshall.  Here comes the big boot.

Well, PSU D gets their hands up.

For someone touted as a Hisman candidate, a 100 yards rushing is not going to cut it, not to mention the game against Kent State. Saying they (o-line) played better than lst week is not saying much. We have to be able to run to beat Arkansas. I'm really bothered by the run attack.

 :shake:

Too many passes batted down at the line today.

FM 94.5 out of B'ham is real close to being right on with the DirecTV broadcast.

I totally agree! RTR!

This one was for 40 yards (but returned for 14).

When I was having trouble finding a video stream I tried their internet stream but it was silent.

Bad call

Penalty on THAT hit??  Come on ref !!!!!!!!  >:( >:(

He touched him but didn't slow him down or knock him off course.  Shouldn't have been a flag.

SEC refs suck like a'burn!

Roll Tide

Way to go D!!

NOW it its time for the TR show.

:popcorn2:

(http://people.rit.edu/~kds4870/425/pictures/fork.jpg)

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT.

Getting ready to stick a fork in this Penn State team.  Tell me when.

Uh-oh, fum-ble!!!  Two times for Dre today.

Well we need a long drive to wear out the clock. Cause our Defense has -played hard today. RTR!

USCe over dawgs 14-13 at half.

Time for the Lacy show now.  Here we go.

EL is our future at RB. He goes crazy. RTR!

How does the O-line look now, boys?

Lacy appears to be better than Richardson based on the first two games.

Run blocking has been okay, pass blocking needs some work.

Lacy ... WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

Mabe we need to start Lacy.   :o

TR TD Roll Tide! #+

 :P, go TR. RTR!

(http://people.rit.edu/~kds4870/425/pictures/fork.jpg)

That TD should empty the seats.  Get ready with the Rammer Jammer.

101 for TR now, plus a bunch for EL.

Didn't say TR has been bad.  They make a pretty potent combo for sure!!

Really?  I thought pass blocking has been OK.  Only got to AJ one time that I can remember, and he still got the pass off.

If I am going to lose this game I want all the points we can get and get EL a 100 yds. RTR!

I'll wait for hscoaches notes. Then I'll decide. :D

Still 6 minutes to go too.  We will get the ball back with some more chances to ram it down their throat.

I saw them pick up the blitz nicely several times.

Just felt like he's been a little hurried and had too many passes batted by linemen.  They haven't been bad, but I think there's room for improvement.

Why are you going to lose?  You didn't pick PSU did you?

I took PSU and points.

There were a lot of batted passes, but I think most of those were not the O-lines fault.  The guy was supposed to be running free so they could throw to the RB behind him, AJ just didn't get the ball over/around them.

Tsk Tsk Tsk... you worry warts.  :D

hey SC you know I did, rofl. RTR!

Baron brought the wood on the QB.  I am glad his head didn't stay in that helmet when it went rolling across the turf.

 :lol: :lol: :clap: I always poick wrong just look at my sheet pick the other way. RTR! RTR!

I've watched a lot of football over the years.  This win was big.

1.  We have a very young QB.
2.  We have limited receivers.
3.  PSU has waited for a chance to get even all year; their team is better this year.
4.  They were fired up and ready.
5.  We shut them down.  Big time.  We haven't done that at another team's stadium in a while.  Not for 83 years against a Big 10 team.

 :what: :kickme:

^^^THIS^^^

Maybe they look better on TV than on my blurry, choppy, cropped internet stream.     :(

Man I look at all this stuff we got some College Football educated folks. RTR!

THIS is not FINISHING!!!

Well they scored a TD on our "D". RTR!

They are going to get their QB killed if they don't say uncle pretty soon.  They still have their conference season to play.

Agreed.  The offense has been solid.  Unspectacular, but solid with a new QB making his first road start and a new, shorthanded receiving corps.  

Defense has been great.  They adjusted well after the rough start.  

I think we've got a great team this year.

One more TD and my points will be tieed oh yeaaa. RTR!

I like getting some practice recovering the onside kick.  That will come in handy when we play the barn.

Well shoot my words left the box.  :lol: RTR!

I know you aren't rooting for PSU to get another TD now so you can get the pick right are you?

I was (of course) thinking of their kicks against us too. 

Can we save SIMS at QB? 

 :lol:, I was SC but we gotta win. I think EL is gonna be a better RB this year if givben the chance. I wonder what his average is? Alabamerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! RTR!

Man, I'm glad Nick Saban is our coach!

That's not being a team player Ricky...  :lol:

Good, solid win. Defense great again, need to get the running game going a little more, though TR looked better this week.

Maybe.  He is a year behind AJ, so he might stick around.

Enjoyed it boys (and Terrie).  Thanks.

One more tune up game before SEC play. I am expecting better play on the OL, but I never saw AJM take any big hits. Kicking game is still an issue but coverage has been excellent.

PSU is down 10-4 against the Tide but 11-3 if you correct the game Bama was cheated.  The biggest round of aplause from the 107,000 crowd was when Bolden managed to get up after getting nailed on their last drive (LOL). They suck and we have a NC to win.

ROLL TIDE ROLL! :-*

Sim's dad is the one that is pushing for more playing time for him. I wouldn't be surprised at anything if AJ gets all of the playing time.

He needs to get used to the speed of the college game, especially in the SEC.  Maybe he can try again next year.

If he is thinking of transferring he needs to say so now so we can quit wasting reps on him. BTW, I am on the record as a AJM defender since last fall.

Run blocking is not lookng good.

I hope he doesn't transfere. He is just not as good at this time. If he wants to sit and play, then he will get his chance to shine. Maybe a NC ring.

Pass blocking is ok, but the SEC play is gonna be tougher. The Running game has got to improve big time or LSU, Arkie, Tenn. Auburn will give us fits. Our defense is great all around. We do however have to get tougher for SEC play, the afore mentioned teams are going to be a offense to deal with in play.
Our kicking game is pitiful. Cade use to in high School kick it out of the endzone starting at the 40 or 45 yd. line is not good. We sure need more than Cody type punt when we play the big guys. I am afriad if we played a Boise St. today we would have had problems. Gosh, I love my team but what I just described scares me the rest of the year. Please, remember last year and when we lost our first game we looked mediocre. I north Texas will tell us a lot more of what we need to know. BAMA wins, BAMA wins! RTR!

He is only one play away from being the starting QB but his dad may not see it that way.

Yes, and that is not necessarily an injury to AJ.  1 boneheaded throw and a good spanking will sit him on the bench and give Sims a chance.
