Good lord, man, how many times has this happened to you? Just a bullshit attempt at gaslighting. Fucking dumb.
-
I can tell you guys that the Georgia fans are not fans at all of Texas. I was reading a thread earlier on their 247 site it is glorious how much they hate Texas. A bunch of them are admitting to their board, sheepishly, it appears, that they're going to be rooting for Ohio State and against a fellow SEC team for the first time in their lives. Others are simply wishing for a meteor to strike the Horseshoe at about 12:05pm (their time) tomorrow. Imagine how those imbeciles are going to behave when Texas starts beating them.

Just as I typed that, Yea Alabama reports that Roberts has been cleared for FSU. The mods on 247 are saying he'd play only in an emergency. Either way, he's not retiring as some had worried on their boards.

Alabama enters the season with 3 critical, upperclassmen starters out for extended periods of time. Jaeden Roberts (OG) has been in concussion protocol for over 3 weeks and is not expected to play tomorrow. He has a history of concussions, hence the duration on this protocol, and there are rumors on the Bama sites that he may be done. Tim Keenan (DT) had tightrope surgery this week on his ankle and is expected to miss 3-6 weeks. Jam Miller (RB) broke his collarbone and is out through at least the next few weeks. I think they've been underestimating recovery time on this injury. Alabama plays @FSU, ULM, Wisconsin, BYE, @ Georgia (9/27). All three players are potential All SEC or better players with NFL potential. All three players are at risk of missing every game through Georgia.

I've talked a little about what some folks who've been to the practices think we're going to see tomorrow. Sarkisian has the personnel in the RB room to go with 21 a lot. He likes the shit he can do in that scheme, we've seen this before. They also think Shannon can block in-line, which isn't nothing. Can Shannon block effectively? I need to see it to believe it, but playing him for that is no different than playing a guy who has never caught a pass in a game instead of him. Breaking character on this for a second, but rationally, if Wingo, Moore and Endries are your top 3 targets, and the collection of playable RBs is your 4th target, how important is the 3rd WR going to be for this particular game plan? I'm not saying McJaggerson won't play or won't be targeted. I'm sure we'll see some of that. I also don't think folks are being very critical in their thinking on this heading into tomorrow because it's a lot more fun to imagine one of Alan Jackson's bastard sons long-striding down the field for a whiteboy party in the end zone.

You don't think Josh Cameron and Bryson Washington have home run power? Cameron caught for 14.5 ypc and 10 TDs last year while Washington averaged 5.9 ypcarry with 12 TDs and averaged 10 ypcatch and an additional TD. Those are great numbers in my view.

What in the hell is "bird week"?

Something that I haven't heard anyone note is that Aranda was the DC at LSU in 2016 during Freeze's last year at Ole Miss. They went into halftime tied. Aranda and LSU shut Ole Miss out in the second half for the win. Held them to 94 total yards in the last 2 quarters and 50 of those yards were in garbage time as the game was ending. Long time ago, so probably doesn't matter. Probably.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!! You actually had a chance to make a decent post and then you add in that ridiculous bullshit. I wish you cheered for anyone else at this point. Why is Michael Taaffe hurling Jaggy at the football?

You guys come on here and claim no one cared about Texas not playing ATM. That's myopic bullshit. We didn't care about playing them, sure. Nationally, it came up in commentary multiple times every year. Conversationally with other CFB fans, it would get asked about and mentioned. You can spare me the "no one watched it nationally when it was being played!" pleas, too. Once the game was gone, it was lamented by CFB fans. I never wanted it renewed, but now I'm glad it is back. Mostly because I feel pretty sure Texas will continue to win more than 2/3s of the time. So you thought this thread needed those scores posted? That it? We needed to see that? Cool, cool, cool.
