Been to R &R?

Nope. I honestly don't remember the last time I bought a cigar. Would imagine it was over 10 years ago. But I know this week is good business for them, because most everyone else always buys them.

Please update BYU-WSU this week.

We all may want to look at the Washington St. game since the coach and several assistants was fired due to not getting the Covid vaccine.

I hear you. You just never know how a team will respond to one of these situations. My chances of picking that game right likely decrease!!

I’m taking my son out to see Arizona State next weekend and Washington State is the opponent. Randomly… we saw them play Michigan State in San Diego in a bowl game back at Christmas in 2017. They stayed in our hotel too. Some kind of weird connection with the Cougs…

Not a bettor but to me that line way too high. Team is playing way below potential and exponentially below expectations. Some things need to be corrected....always liked what Coach Bryant said when asked about poor play and was there dissension on the team and he replied, if there's not, there's going to be and I will be the one causing it.

What’s Going To Happen​

Bama has won 14 straight going back to 2006, and the 12-10 victory in 2009 was the only close battle. At least this year’s Tennessee team seems like it has more ammunition to bring.

Just how sharply focused is Alabama? It got everything back to normal against Mississippi State, and it was almost flawless early on against Ole Miss to put the game away with a 35-0 start.

Can Tennessee withstand the early punch? No, and it’ll cause a whole slew of problems.

The Vols will score enough to at least make the Tide keep pushing, but the interceptions and turnovers will come – Bama leads the SEC in turnover margin – just as the running game takes over full-time.

I picked it 38-20. Fiutak gives one of ut's FGs to Bama. Point total is the same.

Where's our score thread, @alabama mike ? You okay, buddy?

I'd like to see us play Hendon Hooker just to have a guy push our defense a little. He's quietly having a good season and putting up some yards. I want us challenged from here on out, not just facing inept teams. I am pretty sure he won't be playing though after being carried off the field against Ole Miss, and I haven't seen the injury reports, but maybe he can heal up.

He's practiced in some capacity all week, apparently took #1 reps on Wednesday

Bama 51-17

Heard a UT media guy in an interview today say Hooker is cleared to play, but won't be 100%. Basically said it's a bone bruise and it could limit him quite a bit.

I don't bet real money either. I see you are new to the site. First, welcome! Second, we have a sportsbook at the top of the page where games are listed with odds. You start out with $750,000 of "monopoly money" to begin with and you can "bet" on the games. Give it a try, its all in fun. Again, welcome and I look forward to reading some of your posts.

Bama 42-28. I still want a 75-0 Bama beatdown of the Viles but the Viles are surprisingly better than they have been, especially on offense.

Yes, I am fine. Its a full moon part of this week and stupid is rampant in school.

CNS indicated the players have practiced well all week

Hendon Hooker may not play this weekend.

Hooker is expected to start tomorrow

 

[Davestwin]

I agree with everything except Fulmer should occupy the top spot … and the next nine as well.
