Well, unless Corral rises like a phoenix in the second half, his short-lived Heisman campaign is over.

That’s going to be a painful locker room for OM at half time.

With his "Grab your popcorn" smugness during pregame, I'm super-eager to hear his halftime interview

 

[alabama mike]

Whew! I am breathing easier I don’t think any of us thought we would be up 28-0 going into the half.

With his "Grab your popcorn" smugness for the pregame interview, I'm super-eager to hear his halftime interview

He probably won’t talk.

 

[bamatommy]

We get the ball to start the second half!!!

 

[94 Grad]

Damn… busted coverage… glad that was batted down.

 

[bamatommy]

Will Anderson with the sack!

 

[alabama mike]

Yes sir! Sack!

 

[jlabit]

Damn!!! Am I looking at the Bama defense of old?

 

[94 Grad]

Nice way to end the half for sure!!!

He'll get some concession stand popcorn, light on the salt. He'll be salty enough.

 

[bamatommy]

Way to go D!!! The Rebs got SKUNKED in the first half!!!

 

[alabama mike]

CLK not as cocky at the half with his comments.

 

[94 Grad]

So… ya think this D has had this date circled for a bit? Those guys looked mean… keep it up for 60 guys!!!

Sounds like he just finished the last bite of that humble pie that was served up for 24 minutes straight

I have to admit I did not believe it was possible to shut Ole Miss out in a half. After that first drive the defense has settled down and played like a Bama defense. They still have trouble with tackling but they are flying to the ball, disrupting plays, and anticipating what the offense is doing. Drew Sanders is having an incredible game. He deserves a game ball.

 

[bamatommy]

I’m pleasantly surprised that Bama shut out the Reb-sharks in the first half and will get the second half kickoff with a 28-point lead!

 

[Sgt. Lincoln Osiris]

Welp.

I must admit that this is the first game I've actually watched all season thus far. Between extra work hours and weekend warrior projects at home, I haven't had a ton of TV time on Saturdays. Been listening to Eli and JP whilst working.

I had a couple of service calls Thursday in Oxford, and of course, I wore my Bama hat. Some playful ribbing, but for the most part, very classy folks running the property that we manage IT for. There was, coincidentally, a single Bama fan there that heard me talking to the rest of the staff and busted out of her office with her Bama shirt on. Funny exchange as I exclaimed "I KNEW I felt a little Bama love somewhere in this building!".

All in all, good fun. I was very complimentary of Kiffin, because we all know how much of a thorn in our side he's been as an opposing coach. And, he did special things with our offense here when he was on our staff.

I told the guys at this property that I would indeed be watching this game because it was a big game, what with the Kiffin wild card and all. Should be a good game, I said. I foresaw it being close for 3.25 quarters before a couple of key drives would put us out of reach in the last 10 minutes of the contest.

Boy, has our squad exceeded my expectations.

All this said, it's been fun, fellas.

Up 28-0 at the half?

I'm headed back to covering myself in sawdust with my FM tuner on my phone dialed into 95.3.

Roll Tide.

 

[bamatommy]

Corral hasn’t thrown an INT all season. It’s time!

 

[bamatommy]

Like I said earlier, no lead is big enough today. Don’t take your foot off the gas—-or their throat!
