Dood...are you just trying to take the heat off for a while with some football talk? ;-))
I'll post my thoughts.... * First....Can we get back on track for MSU....sure. We may be sluggish at first, but I think the team made a statement in the UT game that we are not going to lay down and take it with Vaseline! I think the running game wins us this one due to the rest our team will have had. ** Second....We need this win against MSU for momentum....not really. If we cannot be ready for them they will definitely beat a hole in our chest! I think even with a loss to MSU you will see a fighting team against LSU & AU. IMO. *** Third....Should we beat LSU if the Barn goes to Atlanta.....HECK YES!!! You beat anyone you can with a season like this one! Heck, I do not expect to see us lay down the rest of the year!....ONE MORE THING....I think we beat the Barn this year. (keep this in your mind) **** Fourth....injuries, Avalos, Croyle playing time.....I think Brodie will start and I don't see Brandon getting time unless either a big lead or big deficit. If it is the latter we may not see him until near the end. *****Lastly....loss of WB, can we replace?......not replace, but we will go on as we did against UT. Our running game has been good when we have keyed on it. This should not be different against MSU. One player won't hurt on the offense or defense unless it is BC. The defense will run around acting like they are playing while MSU gets some yardage, but our offense should be able to control the game on the ground and pick their spots in the air. I think Bama wins this one 24-13.

With this recent loss, I figure the number of football-related posts for the next two weeks will hover around 1-2 per day. If (notice the word) we beat Misery State, how does that lift our team? Or does it? Kinda like beating USM, it's a birth-right to beat the Bullfrogs. But can the team get back up for a road game after this loss? We need to win this game to give us a little bit of momentum heading into the LSU week. Course, LSU has an open date prior to that game. That sucks. LSU will be rested and we're still nursing injuries. Hypothetical question: If we knew that beating LSU would send the Barn to ATL, would we want the win? Or do we (secretly) want to lose and keep the Barn at home? Speaking of injuries.....does Shula let BA play some against Misery State? If we get ahead enough (or behind enough), does BA come in to get some game experience? I would hope he would. How big of a loss is Wesley Britt? Can he be replaced without much trouble? ______________________________________________________ RollTideFan - The University of Alabama Athletics Discussion List "Welcome to RollTideFan! Wear a cup!"
