Is there no 2 on that list? Or am I missing something..

Either way I like that we only got one sentence.

I love how little respect Tech is getting in the media. Going to make national #BEATBAMA day even bigger news.

Here is point 2:

I guess they dont remember how close this game was...

A new season...new hope

Yeah, it was closer than the experts thought. They wore us down in the end.

Ryan "MF'ing" Williams... My God, the way he cut the corner on the TD run, made me take notice that he was the man.

Tweedy can run like a dadgum antelope or whatever. I like to use scalded dog. Do antelopes lumber? Cheetah, OK. He runs like a cheetah. He's fast. - Bud Foster

I actually got very little from that article.
'Alabama's very good at football, blah, blah, blah.'

Yeah, I know Holly Anderson is one of the "cool kids" in the CFB blogosphere and that discerning CFB fans simply must read Grantland - what with their footnotes and all - but that was two minutes I'll never get back.

Sure hope our D are better tacklers this time around.

Ok, Alabama is good. So what?

This guy didn't say anything somebody who follows college football at all didn't already know. Just another writer drinking the kool-aid that is going around college football right now.

Just imagine how idiotic articles like this are going to look if we even give them a game on Saturday. I don't even want to know what these idiots will say if we win.

Personally I didn't think ND was that good. There were a lot of better teams that probably deserved to be in that game instead of them. Will bama do the same to VT? I don't think so. They deserve a punch in the mouth to start the season.
