Kickoff is less than 20 minutes away and I’m picking Alabama to beat Texas 24-13. An Alabama victory would give the SEC it’s fourth straight national championship.
I’ll share a few thoughts as the game unfolds. I’ll be interested to read your take on the game .
Let’s start here. I just don’t think Texas is going to be able to block Alabama’s defensive front well enough to give quarterback Colt McCoy any room to operate. Am I wrong?

Yeah, Porty Potty, the Texas receiver pushed the Alabama player’s hand with his chest? What game are you watching?
I was watching the game where the Texas receiver pushed the Alabama player before the Alabama player pushed the Texas player.

It’s just a shame you can’t spell, Truth. The word is QUIET, not QUITE. I don’t guess I should expect a mutt to know anything about grammar or spelling though.

Of the NC Bama games that I can remember. The trouncing of Miami, the goal line stand (Barry Krauss) against PSU, this one reeks to high heaven. Fast forward 10 months, the SEC is just itching to get to this exposed team.

In order to defeat Texas, Bama needed a Texan to lead them.

Denver, just how did the mutts have anything to do with Bama winning? As old and bitter as your rivalry with the Tide is, I really can’t understand why you would want them to win.

Too bad the Tide doesn’t play the mutts next year. It would be UGLY. Then we would see how happy they are that they won their 18th (I think) national championship.
