Whoever your Tackles are (you will see why on Saturday. I worry about Tyler getting blindsided)

Great answer on the Off tackles... to be different, I'd take a DT.

Whoever is the "best".

did you know...

MSU gets fewer flags per game than Bama?

OT: Last night's Walking Dead was disappointing, I thought.

you are talking about Cyrus Kouandjio...

SO and future top ten draft pick....

our RT tackle is huge but can't play on the left side... good run blocker though.... he's a JR and will be a 1st Rndr after the season.

Did you see the spot Bama got against the Bears?

I'm sure you saw it, and I'm not going to go find it.


Please Tusk, don't embarass yourself about penalties and the Tide.

WD, lots of killing, looks like they are setting the stage...
for more killing.

Yes, but let's see who has more Saturday. I'm glad you brought that point up. Remember that after the game is over!

you are a 5* or 4* at worst, if would be easier to ask who we would keep

banks and russell are the only two on our team I would take over your team at the moment

I did... and the final spot was the most accurate...

of the three... it did look shady as hell, though.

this has been covered, already.

I'd much rather have Bumphis than Russell at this point...

I've not seen enough from Russell to take him over AJ, and the data certainly wouldn't support that move for me.

the data? ...has Russell been handing to heisman contenders or 1st rounders being blocked by elephants?


if Bumphis was in a Nick Saban offense, he would be on the 3rd deep ...he can't block and you are telling me you don't have a 5'9 4.4 guy on the team?

I know all to well... it's gonna go just like this...

bama's second drive of the game... Barrett Jones will get away with a hold leading to a Bama FG...

that "no holding" call will change the "flow of the game" costing MSU a chance at the upset...

final score: Bama 37 MSU 13

DeAndrew White (arguably our best WR) and DeeHart (RB) both went down...

Can he not block at all??? this, I did not know...

It isn't the number - it is when and where those penalties occur that can have a disproportionate impact on the game.

AJ is a complete tool and even Saban would acknowledge that fact.

You can say MSU hasn't been tested but AJ hasn't hardly been touched all season. Everytime he gets hit when running the ball he gets up and cries to the nearest ref like a little *****.

I'd take Russell and his arm any day.

I'll agree AJ is likely a tool... his neck tat says as much...

But you are completely incorrect re: him not being pressured this season.

Please do your homework before you next come into my class.

he cuts a lot, we have been able to run him out of the slot mostly so we don't ask him to block a lot like Saban does with his wideouts...

Did you know Bama gets help when Bama needs help?

Since 1998, Bama has beaten State by 14 or more points, 8 times. State has won or lost by 14 or less, 6 times.

In the 8 games where Alabama won easily, Bama was flagged a total of 54 times compared to State's 51 penalties. Pretty close.

In the 6 games where State either won or played relatively close (lost by 13 or less), Bama was flagged 37 times compared to State's 62 penalties.

So it looks like over the past 14 years when Bama needs help, they get help.

Is it?

Because of that check, Alabama can offer many more varsity sports than MSU can. Y'all do a pretty good job of doing things with it you otherwise wouldn't be able to do.

And if it were truly welfare, we'd get the majority of it. Revenue sharing is part of being a member of a conference. But by all means, go on acting like Alabama funds the rest of the SEC football programs and is the only thing that keeps the scummy, poverty stricken 13 other universities afloat.

Someone hasn't watched much Alabama football this season. That OL has underperformed bigtime in pass blocking relative to what they were supposed to be. Middle of the SEC pack. McCarron has been sacked 15 times compared to Russell's 6 times(and Bray's 3 times).

lighten up buddy... I was joking about "welfare"...

You will admit, however, Bama "gets less than they give" some years, yes?

You joke about it constantly.

And the underlying arrogance that Alabama is the only thing holding the SEC together is just one of the many annoying traits of a Bama fan.

But no, I won't admit that. There are 13 other football teams in the conference. There has to be another team on the field for you to play. Winning on the field doesn't necessarily mean you earned more money. Do you deserve more than UT? Florida? Georgia? South Carolina? Arkansas? Texas A&M? LSU?

Congratulations, you have enormous enrollment and much larger alumni base.

Covering expenses would get into dangerous territory.

Because suddenly, the cost of travelling to your bowl game would double.

I agree 100%... In fact I think Bama & LSU spending...

that much is excessive...

there wouldn't be a dime left if given a blank check...

I think it should be capped at a "reasonable" amount with deference given to distance traveled.

you really didn't expect a serious retort, did you???

I thought you were joking!

dude, I'm a data analyst by trade... you can take any set of data and twist it how you want...

that's amusing.

So you know how stupid your "MSU gets fewer flags per game than Bama" fun fact sounds. Of course the obvious response to that is, "of course, we haven't played Bama yet."
