Lewis Gizzard: Clemson is Auburn with a lake.

Dear 8lb, 9oz tiny, perfect, football-inventing baby Jesus in the manger.

Ohmyyou Ohmyyou Ohmyyou!!! I just can’t believe it! Though as a Christian what with the whole miracles thing, I’m not sure why not… It’s FOOTBALL SEASON, Jesus!!! Today our long-loved and impatiently-awaited Bulldogs take on the Tigers (which I hear are really just glorified house cats) from some remote redneck land in South Carolina. I know you said we should love our neighbors and stuff, baby Jesus, but REALLY!

Oh man (made in your image), Jesus! Do you remember that time I almost went to Clemson? Thank you for showing me the light and seeing to it that I couldn’t find a bar for miles while I was touring their campus. And all of that orange. Barf. Honestly, Jesus. Orange is sort of like your one big mistake. (Well, that and Tim Tebow, but I get that you guys have a thing.) I can’t think of a single good thing having to do with orange. Just think - Florida, Tennessee, Auburn, and now these yahoos. GROSS!

Jesus, I reckon I don’t know much about folks outside the Gloryland of the SEC. I mean, why would I? But from what I understand, second only to the dumb-dumbs plowing their way through school at Auburn, all the not so bright ones found their way to Clemson. I mean, they didn’t even name their own mascot, Jesus! And their stadium is named after a place ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COUNTRY. I know you have your own special plan in place for them, little lord, but I sincerely pray that includes getting their hineys whooped by Georgia today! The only thing they really have going for them is that they hate Spurrier, too. But, it was your command that we hate Satan, so I hardly think they should get points for that.

Football season is an amazing time to be a Georgia Bulldog, tiny savior. Thank you for our beautiful campus, for lovely girls and handsome boys in their Saturday best, for fall afternoons at Sanford Stadium, for the chill bumps every Georgia fan feels when we hear that old bell ringing. Thank you for Coach Richt and all of our players. And for our mostly crime-free, uninteresting off-season. Hallelujah! And finally Jesus, thank you, (and this one might just be from me, but I feel like I represent a good number of Georgia fans so I feel ok saying it) for Jack Daniels.

Bless over our boys today, lord let. May they have quick feet, sure hands and the strength of, well, Bulldogs! Please keep everyone safe from injury, even those stupid Tigers, and Jesus, if you could, remind us today why college football is the best darn thing on Earth.

In your sweet, soft, Southern-thrill-lovin’ name we pray.

Amen.

AND GO DAWGS!

Before anyone arrogantly claims God can't beat us @roe tied (remember the Titanic). Statements like that are made before a fall.

The task will be big enough without bringing that type of burden on us.

[RoeTied]

I think someone once said something similar about God Himself not being able to sink the Titanic.

We're doomed.

 

[bcracker]

We're doomed.

No, you are.

 

[bamaledge]

One could argue that either Notre dumb or Luisvull was their toughest game as the scores indicate and based on that and the thread with the matchup stats, we should win this game. But the game is not played on paper. Clemsum is a good team and we definitely need to bring our a game.

 

[TerryP]

Oklahoma, who didn't bring their "A" game it appeared to me.

To me, it looked like the same team that beat Baylor, and Okie State, and TCU ... 'twas what it was.

 

[TiderNAL]

At the level Alabama is playing at currently, there is not a single college football team that even kind of scares me.

 

[RollllTide!]

We are not scared. Another battle, another day. The close games Klemsum played was Noter Dumb, UNC, and NC State but they got a lot of points scored on them. As a matter of fact all teams scored 280 points on them this year. I believe we are better than Noter Dumb. The total points scored on BAMA this year if I have added it correctly was 187. Other teams have come closer to beating them. ND, UNC, & NC had a chance to win the game. I feel good about our opportunity to beat the tar out of them. They are Allbarn with a lake. Just don't bring God statements into the mix. If you want to hear God laugh, just tell him your concrete plans. I will pray for his forgiveness and thank him for our success this year. Also Thank him for Henry.

I know this doesn't mean a hill of bean, but the last time Clemson beat Bama? I don't think anyone here was even a gleam in your daddy eye!

Put it this way my grandmother was 7 and her future husband was 5. I was all most ,my dad was born in 1910. But of the six kids him and my mother had, I was the last. 12-3 records so far.

Never realized people would get so worked up over a saying. It's been used many a times in articles as a way to say "this team is playing lights out".

Page 1 chart only shows the key stats.

Here are the full offense, defense, and STs stats matchups.

 

[Che Boludo]

In an odd write-up that writes up a tough match-up for both sides and covers 5 key storyline expected this week, CFB News ends the article with a 37-14 Bama win.

Alabama vs. Clemson: National Championship Early Storylines, Prediction

With only a week to prep for a very talented offense with real wpns at QB, RB, and some good WRs, I'd be extremely surprised to hold Clemson to 14.

In the bcs era with one month to prep, sure, but holding them to 14 with 7-11 days of real Clemson focus would be an amazing defensive feat IMO (but maybe that's why we have 2 x DCs at the moment)

I think 21-24 pts is a more likely low end and 28-31 pts is the high end for Clemson. Leaving me thinking Bama needs 32+ to win.

I'm going to say 34-24 Bama.

On a side note... Lower level endzone ticket to the NC game, $550. Mantheyve gotten high. That's face cost. My buddies got their email that they have 4 from Clemson. They asked me if I was interested in the 4th. If not they are going to turn it back in to the school.

I saw this on another site from the last time Clemson essentially played for a NC.


The price of football has certainly gone up

[Rolltide24]

Wow. If they have received 10x more on Bama, shouldn't the spread widen?
