Speaking of bad photos. I was on the field for the FSU game last year and I have a video of the Enter Sandman entrance. Is it possible for someone to make the video quality better in that video if I were to post it?
Grassy ass. Tough to compete with yours though.
Oh yeah, it was Halloween so...
You guys are killing me...great stuff! "school's in session" is a great tag line too. Or, I like K.Fullers shirt he wore at a camp last year..."you reach, I teach". Go get'um Tone.
Had that little gem hanging on the wall of our Platoon OP in the Kunar, AFG. Can't see the whole thing but ya'll know what it is!
I can't really tell, but what are on the bibs of the crying babies?
Maybe he can kick the ball 80 yards and will be used for touchbacks.
Awesome picture. Here it is just too make it easier for everybody:
I think Exum's silhouette may be an issue. It may be too representative but I took out all logos and just left colors. So maybe... everything else should be fine though.
Agree with that fear. Even with early success we will need to convert with lots of points. We'll need to keep the pressure on all game long. Otherwise it will be like a scrimmage for them. AL is not going to panic unless they are way behind in the 4th (maybe not even then). Need an exceptional effort all game, good bounces, and some good luck.
I would actually buy one of these. We should see if they violate any stupid NCAA rules.
I'm definitely loving the centaur.
Hard to argue with the man himself. I choose a different wording though but still less aggressive, and now with more daycare participants. On the back are two options. Centaur Option and Exum Option. Open to suggestions on the wording and elsewise.
Option 1:
Option 2:
You're a good man, Horse!!
We will get a good idea early. If our defensive line is making tackles, it should be a good day. If you see Bonner making tackles for 4 yard gains early, it could be a very painful day.
Still, and I will discuss this more on the eve of the game, I am much more scared of the Alabama passing game than I am the Alabama running game. Their receiving corps is worlds better than in 2009 (Jones and a bunch of stiffs) and their QB is much better at the same point in their careers than in 2009.
Most SEC teams run a true 3-4 or 4-3. If I remember correctly (and I admittedly don't watch a lot of SEC football outside of the big games), Arkansas and Mississippi State ran variations of the 3-3-5 stack, and South Carolina runs a very different version of the 4-2-5 where the front plays much more like a traditional 4 man front, but they utilize a whip/nickel style free ranging linebacker.
If Alabama can successfully run the ball against the 8 man front, then using it makes the secondary much more vulnerable. The key to using the front is to create impact plays and put the defense behind the sticks. They must shut down the run and then hope to rattle McCarron (who is much better than Greg McElroy) early. Alabama has the receivers to decimate our defense, but a receiver can't hurt you if the QB can't get the ball.
In the past, Foster was content to play coverage and rely on great corners to make plays. Last season, he trusted that strategy, and his corners and safeties were abused early. I think he kicked the can and said "if we are going to get burned anyway, let's improve our odds by beating up the quarterback." We saw a slow transition starting with the Clemson game where the D made good QB's look bad through pressure. By the Rutgers game, the Hokie defense was playing like an F-5 tornado and Gary Nova had no answer.
Pro-Tip to AJ McCarron: Be Gary Nova.
What about "It's nap time"
Flag is on me, guys, I've got this covered. Seth, about to email you.
They were more worried about mischief from the LSU fans.
If Saban follows the pattern from the 2009 game, the backer will be the most important position on the field. In 2009, Alabama ran to the passing strength over and over again (hence Jake Johnson's abnormally high number of tackles and an even larger number of missed tackles.) They will attack Tariq Edwards and he must be able to neutralize his gap and let other players come clean up the mess.
Down votes, really? It's a movie quote reference...Fast Times at Ridgemont High. I still hear the term used within that group... I guess outside use is not allowed?
My apologies if I offended the PC.
