Probably 70/30 with Alabama - Georgia. Still no kickoff time, eh?

It got announced today as an 8pm kick on ABC

There is no way they are going Bama for a 3rd time in 5 weeks....right?

With Bama losing I don't think so.

That's why I said 70/30. I doubt it. But to be fair, the visiting team plays only a small part in the decision where to go. The first Bama game was in Texas and this one would be in Georgia so it's really only one week where they were physically in Tuscaloosa.

One thing people also forget is that some schools and cities are better sports / more accommodating to the logistics of hosting and producing a TV show than others, even if the game would otherwise be the "game of the week." I've heard very positive things about the Clemson production, so that shouldn't be a concern here.

So you're saying that the Clemson bag men are also used for the Game Day crew?

They have had Game Day at Clemson before. Shouldn't be a problem this time.

I would not care if they never did another Bama Game Day. Too many requests of players and coaches when they should be more focused on the game itself and not the requests from the Game Day production staff. Just my opinion.

Seriously, do Bama fans really think anyone is going to feel even the slightest bit of sympathy for them? Why would anyone?

Based on those allegations charging that as robbery is ridiculous. Those facts equate an assault charging it as robbery because they took a case of beer after the fight (with no one seriously hurt) is typical police/prosecution overcharging. Now a deal will be worked out for the guy to plead to misdemeanor assault.

I could watch this on loop over and over again. Dude is the Gronk of tailbacks. It's just not fair.

Or Auburns tackling is garbage.

Well yeah, that too.

 

[ACamp1900]

What the hell was #28 attempting to do there? Surely he wasn't trying to tackle him.

 

[IrishLion]

There was also this guy, who was obviously scared to even try. I wonder what the Auburn coaches though about this when they watched the film:

EDIT: I'd like to find a full-speed replay, because at full-speed it is even more embarrassingly clear how much this guy was trying to not tackle Fournette. He did just enough to make it look like he took a poor angle, but it's clear that he's going half speed and just kind of "ehhhh" sticks his arm out.

That kid wouldn't play the next game for me, possibly for a while. If you are unwilling to hit or take on a challenge, you have no business in my lineup.

 

[Riddickulous]

Hilariously, this is the very same player (Johnathan Ford) who claimed stopping Fournette wouldn't be a problem.

 

[ACamp1900]

It's just a complete lack of want to from the word go, not just the lack of a hit....

 

[IrishLion]

I will be ashamed the day an ND player shows that amount of bitch-assness.

Fournette had a good day against ND in the bowl, but at least the entire defense was still getting after it and piling on him when they could, the old "help is on the way" mantra.

 

[koonja]

Anyone give OSU a chance against Stanford tonight?

Reminds me of this:

It looks like he was attempting to perform a WWE Swinging Neckbreaker, but Fournette hulked up and "no sold" it.

 

[ACamp1900]

I'm shocked a name SEC team is playing a reg season game outside of the South!... That's happened what? Three times in my entire adult life?

Michigan, UCLA, Oregon, Auburn lead list of overrated, underrated teams through Week 4

Not much Notre Dame in there of note, just CJ Prosise included in the "underrated" list.

Had a MSU fan today basically beg for a match up in the playoffs. Specifically cited all the PI calls a few years ago as ruining their season. Thinks we are far below their team.

 

[ACamp1900]

Tell them that until MSU joins a conference they shouldn't be allowed in the playoffs...

Reminds me of a few AP runs. AP had a vintage run this last Sunday.

Eric Weddle (#32) just lays down to avoid getting truck sticked in the open field.

Look at #43...he wants no part of it. Just a weakass attempt at a "tackle."
