Only at the start when the Gators kept flawlessly connecting passes all the way to a TD.
We get the ball. QB Hurts fumbles the first ball his center tosses back at him. Bama continues to look bad.
The Gators get the ball. There's a play when the Gators QB fails to throw the ball away as if up till now he can do no wrong.
Interception!
Nail biting ends midway of the first quarter. Smooth sailing thus commences.
They call Alabama the Crimson Tide.

You can certainly tell a good story, Dino.
I went to Wayne State University where someone once said that we had a football team, but since no one ever saw a player or a football game, we student just decided that it was a rumor. I did, however, become a fan of college ball when our son went to Purdue. He was there when Drew Breez played. I loved going to the games, and I understand your enthusiasm and loyalty.

🏈They can't go 14-0 without winning the first 13. ✅

Looks like it was a nail biter 54-16.

I've always kinda liked the Gators.
Like Bama winning the SEC Title a lot better.

Go 'Bama roll tide over the gators. Have fun watching:)

Every time they'd turn a TV camera on a sad Auburn fan, me dino would say something like "Aw, poor baby!"
Then I'd laugh.
Don't know why Auburn fans wanted to make me turn into what I am for too many of them running their mouths.
It's not as if their team can actually beat Bama most of the time.

Tide rolls ove Auburn! Can't win them all if you don't win the first dozen.

That will get an Allosaur's heart pounding.
The brawling inmates made one good decision
That day at least they had another day to rehabilitate.

Actually, that's close to what I heard Chucky (on one of his better days) tell an inmate shortly after I fired a warning shot. I saw two both down on the ground Southside officers become endangered by just way too many closing-in inmate spectators while trying to break up a fight.
Those brawling inmates were immediately kinda like, "Yes, sir! Please take me to the shift office, sir!"
That's what I call instant gratification.

Through the prison was heard don't f with tower4 or you might become extinct.

Working with Big Al was great but only lasted about the same two years before Officer Allen transferred to a work release.
That's when the sally port officer post was abolished. Now I was to call for one of the Southside officers. The regulars there proved out to be a whiny pack of shirkers as far as being called to the sally port was concerned.
They also seemed to hide a lot.
It got so bad I transferred off the first shift. On the Second Shift, I filled in when the regular Tower Four officers was gone but that was okay.
When that officer retired, I ran Tower Four until I retired.

Chucky's team is sucky . bama will win unless unlucky , big Al was a relief ,seeing the smile of his teeth, when the tide rolls. Tigers hopes
Buried in holes. Allosaur is a winner , when you have tigers for dinner.Tee hee

Auburn is the Tide's greatest rival I guess for being in the same state. Two days ago I caught an unfriendly frown from some guy in his Auburn colors in a convenience food store because I was wearing a Bama shirt.
In Alabama a "mixed (married) couple" does not pertain to a Catholic and a Protestant (despite there being couples like that) but of a Bama fan and an Auburn fan. I've seen bumper stickers and even specialty license of split college colors.
I married into a family split down the middle like that. Due to such influences when Auburn had Bo Jackson and a winning team, my stepson and daughter wound up as Auburn fans and my (youngest) son is a Bama fan as is his mama, who is now my ex.
Once I had the attitude that it was good if Auburn won as long as they couldn't beat Bama. That's before a prison shift commander decided to make me a near permanent back gate tower officer (with lots of job threatening responsibilities)..
That partnered me up with a near permanent sally port officer who was a raving Auburn Tiger kinda fan. Fortunately for me, this was during the period when Coach Gene Stallings led Bama to the 1992 national championship.
His name was Chuck but let's call him Chucky.
Chucky would never shut the hell up about whatever he thought was wrong about the Alabama football team..
Chucky would do stuff like stroll up to the tower from the dorms and across the Southside grounds, smack his hands together and proclaim, "Alabama has no depth!" (but then Bama would win that Saturday, tee hee).
When an important player was out of action, he approached, saying, "I know what you Alabama fans are saying--Oh, no! Not Antonio.!"
And Alabama won again that Saturday. Tee hee!
When Alabama won the championship, Chucky was so mad that he went into his sitting space beneath the tower stating his hope that the entire Bama team would be wiped out by a bus wreck.
That's when I realized just how sick Chucky was in the head.
Not long after that, Chucky transferred to a new prison opening up in a neighboring county.
What really made that good day better was that Chucky was replaced by a black officer nicknamed "Big AL" after Bama's elephant mascot. Big Al was a bit on the heavy side and a~ta-da!~AN ALABAMA FAN! YAAAAY!
What a relief!
Anyway, now I feel this to the depths of my heart just like my brother Tom, who once said, "A good weekend is when Alabama wins and Auburn loses."
So me dino is really looking forward to seeing Alabama beat Auburn again. That's what usually happens. That's what supposed to happen That's how my world is supposed to spin.

Tide rolls again , next week a tougher foe.

LOL! A win-win after all.

51-3 and 290 electoral votes
Roll tide Roll Trump.

Karenia brevis is the name of Florida red algae it is currently persistent in Southwest Fl.
Kills fish and can irritate lungs from exposure.

It seems to happen every couple of years.

We had a crimson tide in Brevard County, FL a few months ago. It was ... not pretty.

What I'd call a win-win.

Good show blarman.
Thanks for the reports.

Roll tide roll trump!

Wisconsin LOST to Ohio State.

My assessment of Alabama? This is a stifling defense. They've probably got seven guys who will go top five rounds to the NFL. That's downright scary. The offense is pretty pedestrian but gets the job done. All around, it reminds me of the Baltimore Ravens team that took the Superbowl a decade ago: all defense with just enough offense.

Which teams can beat them?

Washington does have a coach that is one of the best in Peterson. That he's been able to turn a Washington team that for more than a decade was the dregs of the PAC-10 (now PAC-12) into the team to beat says much about his coaching ability. His teams consistently over-performed while he was at Boise State (who can forget the Fiesta Bowl against Oklahoma?) They have a good running back at Washington and a decent quarterback to go with an under-rated defense. If they can win at USC, I'd feel comfortable that they wouldn't get blown out by the Tide.

Ohio State? This one is a maybe. Urban Meyer is clearly one of the elite coaches in football, having coached the Utah Utes to a stomping of Alabama then taking the Florida Gators to multiple national championships before doing the same with Ohio State. Ohio State is faster than Alabama - the big question is can they take the pounding. Wisconsin plays a very similar offensive style to Alabama - a down-in-the-trenches, pound-it-out style of offense that defeated the Buckeyes this year. (Alabama coach) Nick Saban has the blueprint right there to beat Meyer. I'm suspecting that venue would matter.

Michigan? I think Michigan has a better defense than Ohio State. Harbaugh is a great coach, but not an elite one like Saban - yet. He may get there this year by taking his team to the Championships. They're playing very well, but I never count the season over until after the rivalry games against the Spartans and the Irish, where anything can happen.

Clemson? Of all the offenses that would challenge the 'Bama D, it would have to be the Tigers. I don't think there is a defense in the nation that keeps Deshaun Watson out of the end zone an entire game. That being said, Clemson plays in a weaker division than any of the other nominees, with the only real challenges coming in Louisville and Florida State. It's also a different style of play in the ACC than the SEC. It would be interesting to see if the faster pace wore out the bigger SEC team or if their speed in the fourth quarter would be enough to compensate for the size mismatches.
