Game Thread 2015 Sugar Bowl: (1) Alabama vs. (4) Ohio State, Jan 1st @ 8:30p ET, ESPN (civilized thread)

Miss state vs Ga Tech will be a good game.

That will be an ok one, but nothing close to the TCU game or any game Thursday from the New Year 6. And really, why do they have that TCU game at the 12:30 slot? It's the game that most people would watch if in prime time.

Miss state vs Ga Tech will be a good game.

If Miss St. is anywhere near as good as advertised, it should be as much of a lay-up as Arizona- Boise St.
No offense to GTech, but ACC is looking even softer than I thought so far, and the option loses a lot of its advantage with all that time in bowl season to prep for it.

I really am looking forward to Auburn/Bucky and Minny/Mizzou on Thursday as well. Trucker U vs the Fighting Rich-Rods gives me a bit of a chubby also.

That hype video has me ready to run through a wall, yet again!

The video crew has just been absolutely killing it this year.

Saban said today that Yeldon would be used in a "fill in" roll.

Sounds like both Saban and Meyer are playing cat and mouse with Yeldon and Wilson. :-)

Yeldon didn't get many carries against Mizzou, but it's possible that he's playing around a bit.

Time for me to make a prediction about this game.




It will not kick off at 8:30.

At least 15 minutes of Maroon5 and other random espn bullshit...

I know Bama is a between the tackle kind of running team but if Yeldon can't play much is that is going to limit Bama's ability to get to the edges in the running game?

IMO a lot. The reason that Henry is so effective Is he's fresh when he spells Yeldon but something tells me Henry wouldn't be quite as effective in the 4th if he too has been playing all game (especially considering he hasn't done that since HS 2 years ago).

I know everyone will say "I hope he's good to go because I want Bama's best" fuck that man give me any advantage we can get lol... I'm positive he will play personally but it's just how much and how effective will he be?

Jones is very quick. I don't know how he is compared to Yeldon in other aspects but he's pretty fast

It is an absolute crime that I have to work today. Nothing will be accomplished on Sugar Bowl Eve other than gearing up for the game. Also, I need to make an alcohol run today and work is cramping my style. It cannot be helped if I don't answer my phone because I'm browsing game content.

Also, this happened to Saban:

 

[Wham]

All I have to say is that it is going to take a monumental job to stop them defensively. Unfortunately, we will be catching them as they peak. Too many weapons. Hoping for success pressuring the QB with 4, success with man defense, ball control.
