Tide gets ready for Kentucky...

Bama gets ready for improving Kentucky...



Kentucky almost pulled a stunner over SC

       Don't overlook the fact that Kentucky almost pulled off a major upset down the home stretch over South Carolina.  The Wildcats ripped the Gamecocks wide open in fourth quarter by scoring three key touchdowns. So you have to wonder - will that fourth quarter team show up against the Tide? Kentucky is not a very good football team. They are an SEC football team who will be playing at home this weekend. There are no pit stops in the SEC.  Don't expect the Wildcats to turn into kittens just because it is Alabama who is coming to town. A win over the #1 team in American would make the Wildcat season, and launch a rebuilding program onto the fast track. Very few coaches even have had a modicum of success at Kentucky. The football program has always played second violin to Wildcat basketball. A lot of loyal Kentucky fans call the football team the mildcats and not the wildcats. Alabama needs to remember that time worn phrase - 'on any given Sunday'.  Well, actually that should be Saturday. Upsets are fairly common in the SEC, and the Tide is not immune. If I'm a Kentucky fan I would not hold my breath however.

 

Big whup, LOL...

          Now that Auburn beat Ole Miss 30-22 the "we're back" lingo has started up from the Auburn fans.  Big whup is what I say. Who doesn't beat both of the Mississippi schools? I think Auburn is better than last season, but Ole Miss is woefully overrated. Ole Miss beat Texas. That's their signature win. Only Bo knows. Mississippi State has beaten has beaten Troy. That's their big win of the year. No reason to bash Auburn for the sake of bashing Auburn, but I want to see them beat someone who actually matters. The Tigers big win? How about Washington State?  Think that one over.

 

 

         I personally believe that Ole Miss was so beat up and demoralized after 'Bama pounding them silly the AU game was going to tough for them. How many times did the option work against the Ole Miss defense? The answer was everytime the quarterback kept the ball. Ole Miss made no adjustments to defend the quarterback. Kudos to Auburn for continuing to exploit a major coaching gaff by the Rebel staff. If I had to guess it looks like the Tigers are going to win at least six games. I am really looking forward to the AU-TAM game. I wonder what the over/under for plays run in that game will be on game day?
