CA's First Annual Iron Bowl Thread

[rizzle]

dan'l,

The floor is yours...

[theycallmedan'lboone]

Suicide watch down in T-town for all the kids that won't get to see an NC.

[rizzle]

You know, I've seen us beat Auburn many times. But something tells me this beating that we are about to lay down on you is going to be just a little sweeter.
:bx

[Tombstone]

Roll tide!!!!!!! 48-13

[theycallmedan'lboone]

Auburn actually plays in the fourth Quarter, Alabama doesn't big turn over ties game/gets Auburn back in it. Alabama's offense has a chance to win it. Auburns D says NO.

[rizzle]

7 days and counting dan'l. That's bout the only 7 you're gonna see this year.
Except for when we go up 7-0 early.
:ss

[theycallmedan'lboone]

there he is ladies and Gentleman, the Alabama fan who can COUNT!:D

[Rockestone]

Alabama will not lose to Auburn this year....for a change.:r

[theycallmedan'lboone]

you've got 7 days left.

[rizzle]

What a great week in store for the Alabama Family.

[TripleF]

Who is this Dan'l guy, RIZ, and why didn't he come to the herf?

Go TidE!!!

[theycallmedan'lboone]

must not have been invited...

6 days and counting... Rizzle, obviously there will be a wager placed. It must be settled by Wednesday by noon, as I probable won't have access often.. 6 days til your team meets its demise.

[theycallmedan'lboone]

5 days...

[rizzle]

Who is this Dan'l guy, RIZ, and why didn't he come to the herf?

Go TidE!!!
He's a poor, misguided, lost soul who has somehow chosen Auburn as his college team du Jour. I'm trying to help him recognize his shortcomings and atone for his sins but so far he is resisting. Seems to be a soccer fan, which is apropos considering the point output of their offense.
:ss

Don't know why he didn't come down for the herf.

So rizzle, as this is the biggest game in the country, hows about we up the ante? 10 cigars?

[rizzle]

I can appreciate a confident man. 10'er it is.

[theycallmedan'lboone]

I still haven't established if it's confidence or delusions but... what the hell.

Brother... I hate to burst that little "Nobody cares about Alabama but folks from Alabama" bubble... but there is a game in Tallahassee this weekend that may mean something.

I hope Auburn has fun playing around with the Tide before we whip that A!!!!

Thread jack done!!!

[auburnfan1980]

Gator, I'm afraid we're gonna take a lil bit 'o hype away from your game with Bama after their NC hopes are dashed. Let's see...it's been 2,563 DAYS since Bama last beat Auburn, and I dunno about you guys...but I could go for another 365! WDE! :ss

[rizzle]

You sit tight there Gator, you'll get yours next week. Heck, Diddy might give you a little bit this week. I think FSU might be a little better than Ole Miss. :r

What's the over/under on fights in that game anyway? Think you guys can at least make it to kickoff this year without a fight?

Just watch out for the Bama fan's with guns. Some of them get a little crazy after a whole day of moonshine and football. Other than that, you'll be fine.

Jason,

As much as I dislike Auburn... if you guys beat Bama this week it will take it up about 10 notches. You guys always seem to find a way to stick a knife in our hearts!!

You sit tight there Gator, you'll get yours next week. Heck, Diddy might give you a little bit this week. I think FSU might be a little better than Ole Miss. :r

Rizzle,

I can't wait until next week... but you are right... the Half A** U game scares me. It will make their whole farkin year to beat us.

I sure wouldn't bet against a fight!!! I would love to see one of our guys run out there any pull that spear right out of the ground and stick Chief Osceola's right in the a**.

[theycallmedan'lboone]

*sigh* can't you florida fans go make your own thread?

Rizzle. You sir are down to 3 days... I expect a phone call concession...

[rizzle]

You know us Bammers don't have phones. How bout I send a carrier pigeon?
:ss

[theycallmedan'lboone]

HAHA! it might get shot...:cb

No vested interest in the game, but I know Rizzle's love for all that is Tide...

Tomorrow, it shall be decided. Who is the team from the great state of Alabama with bragging rights? Alabama will go on to play for the SEC Championship, good for them. But you gotta get through us to have a hope of your NC. Good luck. You'll need it.

[auburnfan1980]

I have a good feeling about this one....today was an awesome day, check this out:

1.) woke up and ran my a$$ off with two pounds of sweet potato casserole in my belly
2.) got to see my lovely 3-month old niece and make her laugh
3.) took my brother to The Briary in Birmingham (which is less than a mile from his place) and smoked Oliva Series V's, LFD DL 700s, and brought back the NEW CAO Lx2!!! (Reviews on the way tomorrow night!)
4.) drove back to Florence in time to see the film, Australia with a great friend, and I highly recommend seeing it!
5.) found out my old school will be playing for their second consecutive class 3A state football championship.

Yep....this was a good day and I have a GREAT feeling about tomorrow, boys! WDE!!!

Checkmate. (and thats without going through my facebook friends list ):fu:fu

[TideRoll]

Oh, the smack talk. Well, there's going to be plenty of that for the next year any way you slice it.

Here is why Alabama will win and probably dominate this game:

I'll start by mentioning Bear Bryant, because Auburn fans think we do too much already even though we don't really talk about him all that much these days. Coach Bryant used to talk about a team playing together, with "one heartbeat." Alabama is doing exactly that: they believe in what Saban is doing, they have great chemistry, they're moving together in one direction. Contrast that with the discord that has been happening this year with our Lee County friends.

Second, there is that old coaches saying that you need to stop the run, establish the run and limit mistakes. The second reason Alabama is going to win this one is that our offensive and defensive lines are superior and we will win the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. Burns might slip out while ad-libbing once or twice, but Auburn is not going to beat Alabama by making it up as they go along.

That is two thirds of the old winning formula. Which brings us to the third reason we will win the game. We've got a senior quarterback who has done a good job of directing the offense and limiting mistakes this year.

Then there is coaching. Alabama has finally stopped playing around with favored sons, unstable hucksters and good time Charlies. Auburn has feasted while we've been playing musical coaching chairs, but that song has stopped.

Did I mention that opposing teams have only been inside our Red Zone six times this year?

Reasons Auburn might surprise us:

Rain can change the complexion of a football game. Turnovers occur more often, and that ball can bounce funny ways. Some of the forecasts I've seen indicate most of the rain is going to be before the game, but it could still have an impact.

Auburn players might have enough pride left to pull together for this game, though we will see if Alabama should get up a couple of scores early on them. This is still the Iron Bowl and almost anything can happen in these things. This is their bowl game on the line, and their shot at redemption for a sub-par year. They don't need any extra motivation than simply playing Alabama, but they have it anyway.

Odd turn of QB-ing. Should John Parker Wilson suddenly return to his Mississippi State form of last year and Cody Burns and his supporting cast turn all-world on us, the game could get interesting.

Special teams mistakes early. If Javier Arenas gets fumbly on an early punt or two, it could make the game much closer than it could be. Of course, the corollary is that if he should get hot, it could get ugly in a hurry the other way.

If there are any Auburn fans who want to wager on this one, I'll put a fiver up to make it interesting.

[rizzle]

Good synopsis TideRoll. I don't see us changing our gameplan at all from what we have seen week to week. I think Auburn's pride will keep them close through the first half but I feel we take over the game early in the third. As Steadman Shealy said, it's time for the streak to end.

I like our chances to dominate today.

dan'l, it's time to pay the piper brother...let's get it on.

[kdog]

WAR DAMN EAGLE!!!! I better not miss any of the game because of Georgia v GT. Go Tigers

[kdog]

Dan'l, She Is FINE!!!!!! We grow em well in Auburn

[theycallmedan'lboone]

My Synopsis:
1) block for your FG kicker, because this one, apparently can kick...
2) don't turn down an INT
3) don't fumble the ball
4) don't keep your d on the field for 50 minutes of the game
5) don't fumble the ball
6) don't fumble the ball
7) Maybe this is just me, I don't give a damn if you're losing 550-0, have some testicular fortitude, go for it. This game, IMHO got Tuberville fired, he showed ZERO heart, didn't get after his players, EXACTLY the opposite of Saban. The Bama punter shanked a kick, when the score was lots to nothing, and he still chewed that boys ass off. Auburn's O needs some serious work. I think the trickle affect is what made the D look sloppy. Apparently when you play 55 minutes of a football game, you get tired...

Alabama played very well. Enjoy your win.
Auburn played like they had all season. What would anyone other than a delusional Tiger fan expect ;-) War Eagle. We'll see you next year... but for now. I need your address sir.
