24 Hours Left...

This life long Bama fan and his teenage daughter ( who I have raised to bleed crimson) will not move in about 24 hours. I have one thing to say ( lord know I want to get this right. Don’t want a few fellow Bama fans with their panties in a bunch like in another thread because of a joke!),and that is…….

ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!

1. IS IN YOUR SIGHT.

Good luck guys. Let’s kick those kitty’s in the mouth!!

But it’s the biggest game for this year. Always remember, and never forget, this is a Golden Age for Alabama Football. Appreciate it, enjoy it, wallow in it. It won’t last forever. Roll, Mighty Crimson Tide, Roll. And Thank You.

for Vegas

NOLA time haha

50:1

Do not let the LSU special teams stand out!

And also that we are not rusty from the layoff, particularly on defense and OL.

“That’s my No. 1,” Cochran said.

Nick, the last time you were in the national championship game against Texas, you did a fake punt on the first series. Was that a predesigned play or a Les Miles moment or what that was?

SABAN: To be honest with you, it was probably a mistake, because it didn’t work. But the way we went into that game, because they used to uncover the gunners a lot on the punt and nobody would run out and cover him. Sort of daring you to throw the ball to the guy.

Well, we actually made Julio Jones the gunner into the boundary so we could throw the ball to him. And he got hurt on the play before that punt, and we had a freshman who has turned out to be a pretty good player in the meantime, Dre Kirkpatrick, who was in there, and he didn’t really run the pass pattern.

So even though it was probably ill-advised, it was automatic to do that the first time they did it, so they wouldn’t do it anymore.

And it didn’t work. So it was a bad deal all the way around. But sometimes when you do things like that, the players see you being aggressive and maybe it’s not as bad as you think.

When I was here at LSU and we played Tennessee in the first [SEC] championship game, I think it was in 2001, and they were No. 1 or 2 in the country going to go play in the national championship game, we got behind 14-7 and we were on the 29-yard line with fourth and an inch. I mean an inch.

Now, they had [Albert] Haynesworth and some big guys playing in the middle. So I said we’re going to go for it on our own 29-yard line on fourth and an inch. And we got stuffed. And we sacked them and they kicked a field goal and they got ahead 17-7.

And for the next five minutes of the game I was like in la-la land, like, Why did you do that? That’s the dumbest thing you’ve ever done. My wife even told me: That’s the dumbest call I’ve seen you make since you’ve been a head coach.

But we were walking off the field after the game, the seniors came up and said: ‘You know, Coach, that was the most important thing you did in the game is when you went for it on fourth down.’

I said: ‘Really?’ They said: ‘Yeah, because when you did that, we really thought we could win. You were being aggressive and you were trying to win, and we were aggressive after that and we ended up winning the game 31-20.’

So even sometimes the dumbest things you do, you never know how people are going to respond to them. And that was one of the dumb ones, and throwing that pass against Texas last year was one of the dumb ones, too. There’s many more in between, incidentally. (Laughter).

Where is it?

Said the team’s last “real” practice on Saturday was “special”

There were reports of Jordan Jefferson at Harrahs and other places in NOLA.

23 straight hours of coverage!!!

I am loving the fact that tebow is making all these analysts look stupid.

Now I lay me down 2 sleep. I pray LSU will soon meet defeat. & if I should die before I wake, make the crystal ball Bama’s 2 take. #RollTide

can’t take this.

And I’m surprised how well McCarron played overall in the game minus the interception. He made some smart moves not throwing the ball and protecting it. Especially since we’ve seen this LSU swift defense has made other teams regret their bad decisions. So, I guess I’m saying AJ had a realistic idea of how quick and athletic the defense he was playing against.

is the first player to have a td taken back because of taunting

LSU goes nothing but speed option

In the mess afterward I forgot how much better we played than them. Just oddball garbage every time we got momentum. They gotta be scared.
Well that took 90 seconds. 19 hours 20 minutes to go.

See you in about 19 hours.

Izzy Gould from the Tuscaloosa Bureau of al.com newspapers ran into Updyke in the throng of fans Sunday night.

Updyke, who said he is tired of his 15 minutes of fame, was a popular destination for fans Sunday night. Many fans stopped him begging for autographs and photos while he was strolling up and down Bourbon Street this evening.

Updyke also said that has been approached by several people to write a book about him. Clay Travis has been pushing him the hardest to write the book, Updyke said.

Updyke believes he has a ticket to the BCS National Championship Game Monday night.

It’s hard to believe we never got another attempt with 23 minutes left in the game.

One question, brong the horn that connects to the car battery, or leave it?

Lucky it wasn’t a pick 6.

I do think it was the right call in today’s game.

ouch, just a freaking disaster

is mainly disputed by bama hater’s? This includes our own conference, we are as hated as it comes

LSU coach Les Miles was asked Sunday if he was aware of talk that star cornerback Tyrann Mathieu has been looking up the names of mothers of Alabama players for trash-talk purposes.

“That would be news to me,” Miles said.

If it’s true, Miles does not approve.

“Gamemanship is one thing,” he said. “I think that might be a touch much.”

I think those boys are a little too cocky! They need to act like they have been there before. Thats OK…..When the TIDE comes in and ROLLS those little kitty’s out of town, they will know everyone of their momma’s names! They will be printed on their ass as Bame plows them down all night!

DAMN……. At work at 4AM est time and I can’t stand it already!!! This day will drag by. I work with a LSU dude that has started texting me already!!!

Can’t remember when I was this excited about a game….wait….it was two years ago!!!!!! We know how that turned out!!!!!!!

ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!!!

Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer

At around midnight my time I hope the sound I hear is……." LSU……we just beat the hell out of you"!!!!!!!

of our steamroller elephant.

call me superstitious but i miss the little guy…

Funny story: I work with a guy that is a life long LSU fan here in NC. He was down there over the 1st, and was at the Sugar Bowl. Sent me a text pic of some cool Bama beeds (yes…had a set of the LSU one too). He told me he got me those beeds so I could give them to my daughter. I sent him a text back saying….‘If you had to show your tits to get these you can keep them! I don’t want that picture in my mind when I looked at the beeds". He assured me today when he gave them to me that he bought them…….I am a little uneasy about that….HAHAHA

The Dark Lord is smiling while Loopy Les looks all serious. Are they trading personalities?

Funny….he is a lot more relaxed than I remember in 2009. Is it his confidence that his guys are ready? Is it his comfort because he knows this team so well?

All I know is her in NC its almost 7 hours until kickoff. I am done with work at 2 eastern. That means……time to start getting the stuff set up for tonight! these past 5+,years with Saban bring back memories of the 70’s and the early 90’s for this Bama fan. I hope I never loose this feeling. Good luck to the Crimson and White tonight! I hope and think that around 12 midnight Bama can change that logo helmet that has the #13 on it to #14!!!!! its a great time to be a fan!
