  1. Just call me Bastian from Neverending Story II because I wish aggy had a heart
  2. Why 2 weeks? Is 3 games too large of a dataset for the aggy supercomputers?
  3. I also like how the "update" from the sideline reporter was like, "Yep, he's on the sideline, and he's wearing a baseball cap...that's all we got."
  4. https://sasafootball.com/speaker/kevin-mar/ What an interesting coincidence.
  5. We also don't play them this year
  6. The good news is they can't give us this crew every game, right?
  7. The correct shitty reference was to either Led Zeppelin or the American naval officer
  8. Sure, just give me your password. You can trust me
  9. Does the average aggy even believe in plate tectonics?
  10. Yeah, but he prefers the number 2 spot
  11. I thought knowing the answer to that question was your job, you fucking bottom feeder
  12. It'd be quite the twist if Petrino were to be the bad influence to get Jimbo fired for cause
  13. Based on how they played Miami, I'd say most of their commits in the last few cycles have been soft commits
  14. You just know someone makes a killing selling maroon carpet in BCS
  15. The routes on this play aren't as interesting as the personnel and alignment. Texas comes out in 11 personnel and Bama matches with nickel (I think. I can't tell who the boundary underneath defender is). Texas aligns with Sanders wide left, Baxter wide right with Worthy near him, and Mitchell and Whittington in the left and right slots respectively. I'm not 100% sure what Bama's coverage is, but it's some form of 3 deep pattern match. It's not pure man because the only two corners align over Sanders and Baxter. The mike spies Ewers, while the will and sam reroute (not jam) deep routes before passing them off to the secondary and covering underneath. Because Mitchell doesn't go deep, the will covers underneath Sanders, and the boundary safety #6 looks for a potential deep crosser from the field. The star is manned on Worthy, and the corners and FS have deep thirds. Because of this, there's a soft spot between the sam and FS that Whittington settles in. Why did this play work? Because we were in 11 personnel and it was still 2nd down, Bama didn't want to get out of nickel, and because of the respect they had for Worthy and Mitchell, they played safeties over the top of them. Could they have just played cover 1 with the star on Whittington? I suppose, but then all four receiving threats (Baxter wasn't really a threat) would have single coverage (the same would be true if they played quarters with the FS manning Whittington deep), and Sanders would be covered by a safety. By going with this coverage, they gained some form of double coverage on three of the threats, but the cost was a huge soft spot in the zone for Whittington. Also aligning in man would pull a linebacker out to Baxter, lightening the box and making a motion/jet sweep tough to defend.
  16. I guess the ags don't realize that trading coaches ain't like trading slaves

  18. It might be an underrated aspect of this game that Sark has a history of coaching against Kevin Steele and knew what to expect from when Sark was at Bama and Steele was at Auburn.
  19. I went to LSU@Bama about a decade ago, and I've been to multiple Iron Bowls at Auburn. Bama is more glamorous and has better tailgating, but Iron Bowls at Auburn are fucking awesome
  20. It's Luke 17:21, "...the kingdom of God is within you". I'm not a Biblical scholar, but given that Leo Tolstoy wrote a book with that title, which influenced Mahatma Gandhi, I suspect it's the Christian version of "be the change you wish to see in the world." At least, that's how I interpret it. It's my favorite verse
