🏈 Pre-game: Alabama to face UGA in National Title game

[BamaFan334]

They are pretty close if you take the entire seven. Clemson has the edge on the line, UGA on the LB'ers in my opinion.

I think it's clearly Clemson. Georgia has one backer in Roquan Smith that simply changes the game for them. Davin Bellamy is capable and a big boy, but if Roquan is out of the play they are beyond susceptible. Watch the Rose Bowl for instance. Roquan didn't have the best first half. He came out in the second half with his hair on fire, and it changed the tempo. Natrez Patrick is not playing, so I just think you have to give the better front seven to Clemson. Plus their line is so far ahead of Georgia's that it makes it difficult for Georgia's backers to make up ground from a grading perspective if you ask me.

Thanks guys...I was thinking this, but couldn’t tell by watching...maybe we can gash them in the middle like OK did...

Who has the better front 7...Clemson or UGA?

Clemson, by most accounts.

 

[colbyjacks]

Run straight at Smith like we did Jarvis Jones?

I bet @Birdman37 couldn't agree more? I love that this comes from a site called Fresh Take Sports Talk. Definitely a 'fresh take'
.

Do you? You love that? You love that it comes from a website that no one has ever heard of. Does it make you feel good that the brilliant football mind of Brandon Williams validated the QB whisperer's awful opinions? So ironic that the same idiots that were screaming "Saban must play Tua to beat Clemson" are now saying it about Georgia. Sad part is I think someone like you would rather Alabama lose and Jalen play poorly so you feel vindicated.

We did, and Bo dropped it. It was fired in there by Hurts pretty good, but we did try it, and it was open.

Well shoot, I missed it. I was streaming the game and it lagged on that exact play. It picked back up after the play and I heard the announcer saying he threw it 100mph right through Bo's hands. I will probably watch the game again this week and check it out.

Mensi's? Lighten up Francis, I hope Hurts throws for 400 vs Kirby. Doesn't change the fact I also think Tua sees the field better and throws a better ball. I hope there is no reason for Tua to see the field Monday night unless it's to give Jalen a curtain call/victory lap.

And every single person here knows the minute Jalen throws an in-completion you'll be drunk posting "Tua time!"

Someone should start a thread about it. :eyeroll:

What's the projection on crowd for game? I'm guessing 60/40 in favor of GA?

75/25 Georgia is my guess unfortunately. We are spoiled and they are hyped. If our fan base doesn't get energized we may see a slide coming. It impacts recruiting directly

Unfortunately for Bama fans, the newness has worn off a bit. Or maybe we have already hocked everything we owned years ago to join this shindig.

Also hard for us somewhat normal folks to afford $2,500-$3,000 a ticket. I'd pay face value if I had the opportunity, but when you shoot North of $2,000 you're making it about near impossible for common folks to participate, especially if you're married. This game has become a whose who of donors, big inner city "political" money, and corporate bullcrap. My sister just told me she didn't get tickets to the game as a student (Georgia) and that they only gave away 500 tickets! That's just utterly disappointing if you ask me. Students, alumni, and boosters are the largest part of this, and 3/4 of that equation get pushed to the back.

Tickets are down to $1600.

But where at? Who would want to pay that to sit two rows from the roof? I admit I'm spoiled and prefer lower level seating, but I wouldn't pay $1,600 a ticket for nosebleeds either.

I've been to a lot of games and get all the electricity that can't be duplicated elsewhere, but the honest to goodness truth is I have a TV that will let me count the nostril hairs under those helmets. For a guy that has always liked plenty of attention to detail, that's a lot of eye candy to resist.

 

[planomateo]

Above my price range due to travel expenses, but don't forget this RUN won't last forever.

I've been lucky enough to see Alabama beat Texas and LSU. Wished I'd have went to other two, I will probably regret not making this one a priority as well.

 

[UAgrad93]

Sorry to bump my own post...but still curious about this...

Agree with @TerryP . Clemson is superior on the front whereas UGA has the advantage at LB. Makes for a wash I guess when it comes to front 7.

It was another swing route to the left. Jalen did throw a seed out there to him. It really wasn't a wheel route because it wasn't down the field.

StubHub $1360
TicketCity $1312
VividSeats $1326
Ticketmaster $1327
TicketNetwork $1415

These are the cheapest seats that put you on the BAMA side and in the upper deck row 10.
Too rich for my blood! Like @BamaFan334 said, for a couple with a family, you can't get into those numbers. I have a freshman and sophomore in HS and just recently bought a used vehicle for our freshman. I could skirt the travel expenses and even not need a room to go to the game ( I live about 2- 2 1/2 hours from ATL). Jumping on the MARTA and taking it to the stadium wouldn't be an issue BUT damn those ticket prices!!!
