they went thru the motions this year.......no spark, bad for s.c fans. believe me, they want NO part of this game.

the whole problem with bowl games now, especially the big games. they are so far from the end of the season and there are TO MANY. the kids used to be excited about going, not so anymore. they show up for the free vacation and not the football game. you never know who is going to play football or not? my worry, bama played their national championship game saturday. can they get up and do it again 5 weeks from now? i know you won't see a repeat of last years performance.

i know what you are saying......no way bama doesnt bring it, big time.

i do think this team is on a mission but saturday's effort will be tough to duplicate.

BC stinks.

the last 3 sec games were all hard fought games and florida twice and lsu all went onto to win , should be busniess as usual for the sec conference against the big 12

Alabama wont beat Texas because of the conferences they are in. They have better players and a coach who will be better prepared.

you just HATE the Nicktator :)

I do hate him because he is a phony and a liar. He is the Rick Pitino of football. Simply not good enough to coach on the highest level. But he will have Bama better prepared than Mack "Roll out the balls" brown...

Alabama is a better team than Texas and ol Mack rarely outcoaches anybody.

well he did get Pete Carroll one time...

some guys aren't cut out for the nfl and learn it the hard way. some assistants aren't head coaches and find out the hard way.
here's what the Nicktator is worth to Alabama.

Thats nice but he still isnt a good enough coach when having the same hand dealt as everybody else is like the NFL coaches do with the hard salary cap. Sure a college coach has to recruit and guys like Mack Brown are great at that and are able to hide their shortcomings as a coach.

And Saban still is a liar. Probably become a politician someday.

bs

everything?

just the last line......but I still don't understand all the hate for Saban at this late date. The guy took care of himself...albeit at the expense of the players he recruited.

Mack Brown didn't get the best of Pete Carroll in 2006?

I mean at least Mack knew to put the ball in his best player's hands in crunch time.

NT

didn't take a rocket scientist to put the ball in VY's hands.

He could have simply told the truth. Hell I forgot he lied to LSU. He lied when leaving miami, out and out lied. Not that it wasnt a positive in the long run.

I forgot the lying part.

Hard to believe USC is cheating.:rolleyes:
Pete Carroll is losing control:

losing control? how about lost. now the question is does the ncaa have the guts to hammer usc? they hammer Bama for less. they left nd walk on similar charges to usc's.:wf

It's difficult to win in that division against the Pats.

They are saving face by running the Wildcat gimmick but that doesn't hide the fact that Parcells is trying to put peanuts in a turd right now.
