53 You people are as irritating as the sports announcers during a television broadcast...there was a time when the announcer just called the play as it unfolded...now, we're bombarded with all their comments as to what should have been if the play blows up or how great a play is if it unfolds well...after all the wind about this player or that player or what should have been or what will be what's really important is what the final score is...nobody can see the future...just enjoy the game for what it is... ROLL TIDE ! 7655448

52 Every single thread I ever go to wheither it be ESPN or SI.com. There are tons and tons of **** just running alabama's Name and there Honor into the dirt. Like they have actually done something wrong. But as a blinded fan as you all are, you cant see what is really going on. Alabama is not some Iowa team(before last week) that was coming back to win in the last friggin 8 seconds. No, they have found ways to win no matter what. And pardon me, but the LSU win was a stand of strength in the 4th quarter. Because if Bama has to, they will wear you out in the game. No matter what, they win. You know why, because there is more heart in that bama team than anyone else in the country. And yes, they have something to prove. And they have an extremely sour taste in there mouth from last year. And the Crimson Tide is here to stay and they DEFINATELY have something to prove and I feel for the last few remaining teams that have to face them... Nuff said... RTR ! ! ! 7655540

51 **** Vol in alabama ! you lost Auburn ! Nuff Said..... And your kicker couldnt kick through a wet paper bag. So yea, you are definatley gonna have a worse taste in your mouth over Bama... Go infect somebody elses thread.... For the rest of you bama haters... Last week, your almighty Tim Elbow got sacked 4 times against the VERY WORST team in the SEC. What in gods name do you think BAMA is gonna do to Florida's non-passing threat and the very limited rushing attack with oh wait, that same ol' option? gimme a break... Elbow is gonna have more pressure than he has seen all season and they will be ready for that little gay, pitch me off option... Face it Bama haters and Florida fans. Tim Elbow and his offensive attack are very limited this year and Bama's D and twice as strong as last year... So unless you guys can conjure up some more threatening players? Give it up. And for all of the people, (fans) that have gotten beat by bama, let it go until next year.... 7655520

49 Bama looks really good this year. Saban is a great coach (a West Virginia boy, just like the coach--Rich Rodriguez--that Bama tried to lure there before him). I think that Miss. State will give them all they can handle tomorrow, just like I expect Florida to get So. Carolina's best punch, but these two teams are perhaps the second and third best teams in the nation--right after that OTHER Lone Star team this year--Texas CHRISTIAN University! Unfortunately, we won't get a chance to see how that would play out, or see a play OFF! 7655468

28 Ramma Jamma...you and I (and every other college football fan on the planet) know that bama did NOT beat the Vols...the Vols beat the Vols this year. As stated before - this is a fact and cannot be argued, so there is no need for a reply. Face it, bama couldn't even score a single pitiful touchdown! Partially because McElroy's inaccurate little wristed arm couldn't hit the ground with a football if he dropped it out of an airplane - and everyone thought Crompton was bad??? WTF??? How many points has bama even scored this year? Oh yeah - FEWER THAN TENNESSEE. You better thank your lucky stars that bama has a decent defense - because the offense is absolutely pathetic (other than an occasional glimpse of game by Ingram)...are the players still tired??? Hmmmm, if only each team had someone whose responsibility it was to put a quality product on the field... 7627045

48 Not much difference between Crompton and McElroy... Crompton CMP = 156 Att = 264 TYards=1948 CMP%=59.1 YPA = 7.38 RAT=139.75 McElroy CMP = 140 Att = 236 TYards=1721 YPA = 7.29 CMP%=59.3 RAT=132.57 Except this stat: Tennessee's 5-4 (2-3) record vs. Alabama's 9-0 (6-0) record. Individual performers do not win football games. Have you ever pulled your "little wristed arm" out of a bucket of water? The void is immediately filled. Every great football team must respond in kind. Otherwise, a championship will not be won. Admittedly, our teams are in the strongest conference in the nation. Because of that fact, each and every TEAM has to be prepared come game day, or the unexpected could very well happen! RTR 7652802

47 You got to love Kiffen. Everytime he recruits another player, the crime rate in Knoxville goes up. Has to be the first Armed Robbery in a Toyota Prius ever. How long do you think it will be before UT is on probation? If they're taking money by force at 2 am through armed robbery, do you really think they're not taking money that boosters are offering? If they are taking money from boosters, how long do you think these "criminal masterminds" can hide it? I smell probation soon. 7642409

So Saturday, after McElroy threw two touchdown passes in Alabama's 24-15 win against LSU, McElroy got a few things off his chest. He must have wanted to, because his speech began with a reporter's question about receiver Julio Jones.</p> <p>"He's had a lot of pressure on him, too," McElroy said. "I've had to deal with a lot of animosity, a lot of hatred from a lot of different people, some of it undeserved I feel like, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. He's dealt with the same thing. The fact that he was able to make a play [a 73-yard touchdown catch] really made me excited for him and the team."</p> <p>Then someone asked McElroy if he believes he has turned the corner.</p> <p>"I'd like to think so. Every game is its own entity," McElroy said. "You can never say you won't face adversity again, because you will. This is the SEC and you play great teams week in and week out. Is it frustrating to me that people did lose faith in me? Yeah. It really ticks me off.</p> <p>"But I never lost faith in myself, I never lost faith in my teammates, and I never lost faith in what we were able to do offensively. It really made me feel good to go out and silence everybody tonight and obviously get a big victory."</p> <p>McElroy isn't a Heisman contender, and he isn't perfect. Fortunately for Alabama, the Mike Johnson-led offensive line and tailback Mark Ingram can keep the football moving even if McElroy isn't at his best.</p> <p>Will McElroy outduel Tebow in the SEC championship game? Who knows? But McElroy's words - combined with his demonstrated fearlessness on the field - suggest he has the stuff in him to stare down Florida's ferocious defense in the fourth quarter. So keep the faith in McElroy, Bama fans. He has the stones to lead the Tide to a national title.</p> 85561 http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/245/899/thumb/staples_andy2.jpg 34
