  • I'm not assuming Texas beats Washington, but if the Horns do manage to win that game, then I'd rather play Michigan for the sole reason that Texas has already played Alabama. Plus, beating Washin

Michigan pass rush is legit, but I also think Sark would easily out-scheme their DC and have folks running wide open all night.

Crazy this is going to be a 3 point game at half. Feels so much more lopsided than that. 

Yep.  Mich pressing all the right buttons for a 3 point lead.  Tenuous and could change quick. Saban seems to be a competent HC.  
 

2nd half will be interesting.

That was his dog interviewing Harbaugh?

Bama is lucky to be down 3

Then again they can't continue to give up 99th percentile Havoc, can they???

Bama is fortunate.  we'll see what Saban can do.  

Michigan has figured out they don't really have a response to delayed blitz.  They have to trust Milroe or bring on a screen/short game.

The dude who won it had a better season....shouldn't be a lifetime achievement award.

I concur, but Reicard is the second best in CFB...after Bert.

Man, if Michigan rushes us like this, it's quick slants to J Whitt for 8 yards all damned night until he breaks one.

 

hahaha, our coaches don't even know how to spell slant much less call a slant play. I fuckin' wish.

Alright—about time to head out to find a bar here in West Hollywood.  I saw the boy march this morning in the Tournament of Roses Parade and got plenty of comments on my Longhorns sweater—quick observation: the Tournament of Roses people all speak very fondly of Texas’s trips out here.

But fun time is over—time to get down to business. Fuck Washington. And while we’re at it, fuck Alabama and fuck Michigan, too.

Bama just got they ass kicked for the entire half and are down three and get the ball first.  Maybe keep the RB in the backfield for pass protection next half?

He has his own plane baked into the contract.  That dog goes everywhere.

Saban is the Emperor of halftime adjustments for a reason. Alabama is still very much the favourite here.

Bama is lucky as fuck to be at a three point game right now

Not really sure what Michigan can do much better in the second half. Gotta be an uneasy feeling kicking off to Alabama only up 3 after dominating the first half. Going to be interesting to see what Saban does with the offense.

In fairness, I already have a gummy on board.  Just trying to decide what to pair it with.

Alabama should try to run the play where they don’t get sacked. Simple fix.

Honestly thought the Bama player held his leg out there a little longer than normal.

Good no-call.

Not

If you would have told me that Bama would have only 96 yards and 5 sacks on Milroe at the half I'd have believed they were getting blown out by three scores.

I don’t think he waits until halftime to make adjustments.

You've got a mind for football. Do you know how to recruit? Sark could use you

I'm not sure I would say that.  It's hard for even Saban to overcome getting beat in the trenches.

All I know is that the media narrative has been that Milroe grew over the season and they are not the same team Texas beat, but I beg to differ.  They look exactly as I remember them.

Hard to block two guys when you are just one guy.

Fuck, he could have blocked one guy. He just watched them go by.

Why in the fuck do these referees wear such tight shirts? 

Well.....they used to fit looser until the roids kicked in.

I guess all that Milroe is a different QB today than compared to when Texas played them bullshit that Bama/SEC fans were spewing to try to get Bama in ahead of Texas if push came to shove was just a load of bullshit.  Their O-line, QB play, and WR are exactly who we thought they were.

Im going to question your police work here lou. No team with an offensive line getting as thoroughly worked as Bama's is a favorite. 

Alabama only legitimately ran the ball 12 times in that first half (and a few of those could have been scrambles that actually gained yards, I just subtracted the 5 sacks from their total rushses)....that would seem to be the first thing to change.

Bama O-line is hot garbage

Let’s check in on Danny kanell

 

He’s not wrong about the second part

Hey, did y'all know we played Washington in the Alamo bowl last year and lost 27-20? All the talking heads have mentioned it on every channel 100 times. I guess they don't know Texas got better after having a frosh O-line and a frosh QB and no RB'S?

But why bring logic into this?

Edited by Spider2YBanana

This game is making me way more nervous about our game tonight. I'm confident we handle both these teams if we make it in. NC game in Houston. This is a golden opportunity.

If the options are dumping the CFP committee or Danny Kanell on a desert island forever I'm picking Danny.
