JACK ALLEN

Know his name?  He's the center for MSU, and called the "lifeblood of the MSU offensive line".

Why wasn't that discussed last night?  I heard a mention once of him being a Rimington finalist.  Why couldn't such a star block Alabama's defense?

• FIRST-TEAM ALL-BIG TEN (COACHES, MEDIA)
• TWO-TIME RIMINGTON TROPHY FINALIST (NATION’S TOP CENTER)

Funniest quote from anyone associated with MSU, Connor Cook (looking up at the jumbotron); "They're f***ing everywhere". I think he stole that quote from Custer. 

He discussed it during the post-game interview too.  Really funny.

When your butt gets torn up as bad as theirs did last night you don't look for excuses or reasons, you look for a 5 gallon bucket of an antibiotic to help heal the wounds.

True.  I haven't gone back to watch the broadcast yet, but only heard him mentioned once last night.  He beat out Kelly for AA Honors.  I'll listen for his name and watch his play when I review the video of the game.  Just odd.

Measuring from what had been labeled as a very good offensive line, that might have been as good as our defensive line has played all year. They totally dominated.

Let's hope they can do it again one more time.

Morning, all.

Morning Chech. Our buddy Jamos is a little under the weather. Prayers to him getting better soon. 

43 degrees here, but IT'S NOT RAINING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Jamos]

Morning all.

Hope everyone is starting the new year off in a good way. I've been struggling with a bug, flu like, but it could be worse.

Bama basketball today but I think I will sit this one out due to this bug that I have. I did read this morning where Hale is expected to play today. CAJ says this team today, Norfolk State, is a very good shooting team and I'm guessing the game could be similar to the Jacksonville State game but I hope not. Maybe Bama learned some things from the JS game.

Have a good day everyone and stay warm.

J, chicken soup and Nyquil. You'll be good as new in no time! 

I sure hope the team plays better today than they did against Jax St. Maybe Hale playing will make a difference. Would love to see Coleman get hot again.

[Chechem]

Hope you feel better soon, J.

You need a big win to set you right!

A giant trophy to Jamos, plus an e-cred, for winning the BOWL PICK-'EM CONTEST.  I never thought anyone could go 18-3, as he started out (maybe better, but I've forgotten).  Just a fun year, and 2 amazing finishes to games last night - WOW!

I fell asleep on the couch with Oregon ahead 31-0. I woke up at 11:00 and discovered they had won. Couldn't believe it! Then watched the rest of WV-ASU. Holy Cow! I liked to have never gone back to sleep. Anyway, a heck of a bowl season for J. Congrats ti him and everyone on the first page, CP, Chech, Red Elephant and Merk. E-cred to all of you! I was sooo close at 15-23.

  Indeed, "so close".

Hope Jamos is feeling better this morning.  I'm off to the gun show again, but will stay in touch as much as possible. 

Lots of recruiting news today.  Bama is atop the Scout rankings, we apparently missed on Ridley #2, and we gained a big commitment yesterday.  Woot.

Good Sunday morning everybody. The 1st time to go and worship for this year. I hope everyone feels a great spirit and the day starts off the greatest year of your life. This may be the year the Lord returns and I pray I will be found innocent before him. RTR!
