🏈 GAME THREAD Louisville Cardinals vs Alabama Crimson Tide

[XXL TideFan]

Can't believe that we even think of kicking down that deep, up that much.

 

[94 Grad]

Pick 6

[Tidestalker]

Youngsters gonna get some good experience on D tonight... Youngsters on O aren't cause of all the TD returns lol

 

[XXL TideFan]

Keep playing 3rd qb if not playing Tua

 

[planomateo]

21 penalties in this game, Louisville 11 @ 93yds, Alabama 10 @ 111yds.

4 hour game, unacceptable.

 

[94 Grad]

Anyone listening to Eli? JPW and Rashad both are doing a good job considering it's their first game.

I listened to the whole thing. They both did PHENOMENALLY. Especially for their 1st live game ever.

JPW's timing with Eli was nearly flawless. Like a seasoned color analyst.

Yes it was long but maybe it was the penalties that added to the time. You think? The game itself was 3:35 long. The game was balance wasn't it? 17-26 297 yards 42 rushing 230 yards total of 527 total of the game? I guess not all of us are going to be happy with either! It a win and now to those nasty Arkansan St.

Fun fact: during the pregame show when Chris was intro'ing Rashad, it was revealed that Rashad is also a strength/conditioning intern, so he's able to help coach the guys up during the week as well.

Eli also did a great job tossing to them during huddles/breaks in action, subtly coaching them along. At one point when Jalen was in, JPW bragged on Jalen for recognizing Cover 2 after UL faked a blitz during the cadence then backing out into zone look before the snap, leaving favorable numbers for a run. After the play Eli tossed to Rashad asking "for those new to the broadcast or may not know, what is a Cover 2, Rashad?"

And Rashad NAILED it, providing a little color himself, in about 8 seconds before the next snap.

I was impressed with those 2, to say the least.

I only listened to them for about 10 mins. Seemed like they both handled it well, perhaps a little long in their commentary, but to be expected early in their journey.

I'll be listening to them more in October once marching band competitions get underway. The delay between tv and radio is tough to deal with, I'm on HD antenna/internet and haven't bothered looking for a way to sync them. Previously with a DVR it was pretty easy.

@Sgt. Lincoln Osiris, Thought about you last night...you at work, listening. I'm on the deck with the volume muted. I'm thinking I listened to just over a quarter, maybe a little more.

 

[TerryP]

I consider a sad state of affairs when I choose to unfollow the Tuscaloosa News Twitter feed for a game day.

Letting Hunter run tidesports' twitter account is a terrible idea.

Is he serious? A troll? You be the judge...but, here's his prediction for the game last night. He posts under Brad Bohannon on this site.

And so...

It begins.

(as if it hadn't already with the preseason Heisman hype, this action still pic sends that hype thermonuclear)

 

[Sgt. Lincoln Osiris]

K, so we hardly ever see the halftime band shows on TV (not that I would've seen it anyway, considering I was stuck to just radio)

That said, THIS is epic...
