I enjoy college football. This weekend the most exciting game to see is A & M versus Alabama.
My heart goes to A & M. But, I think that Alabama has a great team after watching them play Virginia Tech last weekend.
I have to go with Alabama.
So where do the football fans stand on this?

PS: if I cook anything, it will be on the pellet smoker or after the game.

This is like choosing between Satan and Obama (Manziel and Saban in no particular order) :P. I'll choose the lesser of two evils and root for 'Bama. Ugh!

Just joking Ed. I could honestly care less. I am not a fan of either, but I am a fan of the Bear so...

I speak with a fair degree of experience of being an "underdog"...And - that *is* the history of A&M. THere is one thing that you can be assured of: That A&M football is never boring. It can be awesome...or it can be depressing....but it will not be boring :D

Tim please PM your address so I can order your Bama Gear ::)

If both teams are at the top of their game (which I hope is true) it will be Bama. Either way I want Bama. If I were betting I would bet Bama and give A&M 6 points.
This new thing which just surfaced about boosters giving money to players in years past concerns me somewhat. Bama had one on the 2009 team.

You can just bring it to the F.G....And I will bring the chicken suit A&M stuff for you to put on and have your picture taken :D

What a great article showing the deep thoughts that go into the cat and mouse game strategy. This is going to be a barn burner of who wants it the most, who's in the best shape, and who can make the best in-game adjustments. Dee
-
Agreed Dee - gonna be a good one!
I expect it to be a "lights-out" arial attack from A&M and a combination from the Tide - with a ground pounding running game emphasized from Alabama.
-
The one who makes the fewest mistakes wins.

ATM all the way. Not because I have any connection to the school, but I would cheer for Vladamir Putin if he was playing Alabama. ;)
-
Well I am a rabid Alabama fan and I will be pulling for the Tide, but I think this one is too close to bet on. Saban has had a year to get a plan to shut Johnny Football down but Alabama is still weak in the secondary. This is one of the biggest games of the year.
-
I'm looking at this from the other side.
If Bama's of fence can score & the defense plays with the lead A&M is more likely to commit turnovers.
If A& M plays from the lead it may be a long day :o

'Bama sent it's 3 top defensive players ( all linemen?) to the NFL...The replacement starters may be as good - but - we will have to see, as they do not have the same degree of playing time experience - and based on the last game they played - there are definite chinks in that armor ;).....The A&M line is closer to what they had last year - and with more seasoned starters...- I think it will match up pretty good.

This is more fun than debating whether or not to crutch your brisket!

I am going to use my years of football expertise; along with years and years of coaching experience to make my prediction! I gurantee you that if you will follow my advice and have total faith in my system....you too can predict the winner of every game; no matter the sport!!......
-
The team that scores the most points, while committing the fewest mistakes, while paying off the referees to get the calls, with the prettiest cheerleaders WILL win the game!!!! ;) :D ;D :P ::)

I predict BAMA wins 49 -42 Roll Tide!!!!

I would take those odds Gus... :D
Actually - I thought it was a very good game. Hats off to 'Bama.

It was a great game Tee and an extremely high score for an SEC game.
-
Yeah, I was happy with the outcome. When you are No# 6 and you play No# 1 and both teams having incredible offense - it makes for a great game to watch.
-
We committed too many penalties...11! It seems there needs to be some adjustments on this "targeting" penalty. The ejection can be over ruled but not the penalty. That was a bad call against BAMA on that play as well as one illegal procedure. I think the refs will eventually work the bugs out of these new injury-prevention penalties and everything will be all right.
Bama played well offensive wise but the defense didn't. Just the reverse against VA TECH. Hopefully, they will have both sides of the ball hitting on all cylinders from here on out. The LSU game will be a big test. I would like to see the corners do a better job of staying with the receivers. Of course that Evans fellow for A&M would be hard for anyone to cover at 6' 5". If Bama and Oregon meet that will be something to see.

I don't think so. I don't think it was the passing scheme, it was Manziel. As much as I don't think much of him as a person, he is a playmaker. Think of Flutie, Cam, Tebow. They always were explosive and made the "magical" plays when needed. That is what he brings. I don't think Oregon has that magic.
-
Gus, You make a good point. Saban said Manziel reminded him of Doug Flute more than anyone else. You are right that A&M would be nothing, or next to it, compared to what they are without him. Dee
