who did Texas score all those points on
was it the same calibre defenses as Fla, Tenn, LSU...

suckers said the same thing last year about OU averaging 60 a game and how Fla was going to get lit up.
we saw what happened.
the difference will be the speed and the domination of the line of scrimmage.

Florida last year had Harvin and Murphy at wideout. They had nobody to throw to this year like that. Florida was better last year.

mike are you telling me that Alabama has better players than Texas? I am the biggest SEC homer on this board and I am here to tell you they don't, it is even.

3 schools get SEC caliber talent outside of the SEC. Texas, Oklahoma, and USC.

[HoldEmHook!!]

The only thing that concerns me, and non of the Texas experts brought this up, is Tebow had alot of time to throw the football and we cant give McCoy that kind of time. I feel confident that the Bama coaches will be prepared for that. Bama Rolls by double digits.

I bet all my cookies that Auburn and Tenn would beat the snot outta Texas A&M and Nebraska

I'm telling you that Bamas line will manhandle Texas all day, just as they did Fla.
and yea, I'd say Bama has just as many if not more playmakers as Texas.
McElroy isnt a heisman candidate, he's a role player that knows his role.
I had my doubts about his coming through in big games but he proved Saturday he's got the tools to deliver. Dont think I seen one pass that wasnt on the money Sat.
Ingram will be like a bull in a china closet.

[HoldEmHook!!]

lyon what about the Tennessee and Auburn games that Alabama almost lost? Every team has a few bad games during the year.

Tenn came off a bye week and Bama's Defense the week before played 89 snaps against south carolina, they were exausted, rolando said he didnt get his legs back untill thur before Tenn. Auburn was simply overlooked and it almost cost Bama the game. That mistake will not happen again. Bama was preparing for Fla. the week of UTC. auburn was coming off a BYe week and it was a short week for Bama due to thanksgiving.

[tltaylor89]

Done deal.....100 points? deal?


an ass for putting money on alabama.....are u really this dumb? Florida still had big time athletes all over the place. That was the true championship. Did u watch Texas play real defenses like oklahoma and nebraska? They couldnt do shit....now they have to play the BEST defense that have had a month to prepare for colt mccoy and jordan shipley

Ya Im sure Saban will have a tough time stopping them.

Are you discounting Alabama's defense??? Is that the same Texas team that allowed over 30 points to A&M? I don't think Texas has that great of a defense and that will make the difference in that game. The saying gos tltaylor defense wins championships. Ask the Baltimore Ravens when they had a good defense when they won their Super Bowl a few years back.

Once again you are an idiot...I dont respect anything about Texas or the Big12(2)....But fortunately for me and my bank-roll the Team listens to the coach and not me. I dont have to respect Texas, I dont play a down for Alabama..Coach Saban will not allow Bama to over-look or dis-respect Tex. I am a fan not a player.....

Bunch of people want to lose their moeny

[tltaylor89]

The stats mean nothing until the game is played an honestly Texas has the edge

[Moonpie0954]

Unless u watch the SEC weekend and week out.You may never understand y 90% of the ppl from the southeast dont give Texas much of a chance. The SEC is a different beast.

USC....they are 6th in the pac 10. OU......are you kidding me....and Texas man you are not getting it.....those three teams are very competitive to each other....Not the elite SEC schools.....How do you think your bulldogs will fair in thier bowl game.

[WileOut]

I bet all my cookies that Auburn and Tenn would beat the snot outta Texas A&M and Nebraska

Tenn/Nebraska would be a 10-12 type game. Nebraska has a great defense.

Georgia is playing Texas AM and Georgia beat Auburn. Georgia is only a 7 point fav.

Texas ran into a great defensive team with sometimes limited ability to move the ball. They had a bad game like Florida did in the SEC final. It happens.

The question is what kind of talent does Texas have? Do they have the talent to destroy Alabama? ABSOLUTELY. Does Alabama have the talent to destroy Texas? ABSOLUTELY. Both teams have top notch talent.

I give the coaching edge to Saban. I think Texas will at least cover and maybe win the game.

[HoldEmHook!!]

Holy shit...more from the comedy channel.......you cant make this kind of stuff up

No you are not getting it. Look at the recruiting on www.rivals.com for USC, Oklahoma, Texas, and the SEC schools.

My statement was that there were 3 teams outside the SEC that get SEC quality talent. It is a true statement. I gave a resource that proves my statement right. USC obviously had a down year man. I am talking about every year. What else has USC done lately? They been any good? What about OU?

Do you know what USC did to the elite SEC schools when they played them recently?

I never thought I would see the day that I would be arguing for another conference against the SEC, you obviously don't live in reality. I am a huge SEC fan but live in reality. The SEC is by far and away the best conference talent wise. But USC, Texas, and Oklahoma get SEC quality talent year after year.

Arkansas destroyed TEX AM....Georgia, And Ark. had less than expected years and one beat A&M the other is favored to....Texas got into a shoot out with A&M

The fact you are defending another conference is dumbfounding....

[tltaylor89]

Note jones has caught only 2 td passes the run is predictable and thats all they have without Ingram 3tds are off the board think about it.

[WileOut]

Moonpie up until about 5 days ago my avatar was the Georgia Bulldawg logo. I live in the southeast and have been a bulldawg season ticket holder for 15 years. I watch the SEC teams every week of every year. I know them up and down like the back of my hand. I live in the bible belt.

You are right, the SEC is the best conference. But Texas is just as good as any SEC team, any year. If you don't believe me then look up their recruiting records on rivals.

[WileOut]

The fact you are defending another conference is dumbfounding....

What conference am I defending other than the SEC? I am defending 3 TEAMS (not their conference), what other conference am I denfending other than the SEC? Are you sober? I said THE SEC IS THE BEST CONFERENCE HANDS DOWN. But there are 3 teams that get SEC quality talent. Alabama is playing one for the national championship.

[Moonpie0954]

I was talking to TlTaylor89.

[WileOut]

I was talking to TlTaylor89.

And I was talking to you

I am just not believing these people who refuse to believe any talent exists outside the SEC. I can't believe I have to even say what I am saying, I thought everyone knew East Texas was a hotbed for football talent.

[tltaylor89]

Alabama will get exposed if you stop Ingram then you stop the whole show.Julio cannot do sh it to damn slow they should have him a TE Kick away from Arenas tackle well and dont jump the route to try and intercept Texas wins 21-10

[Vince Lombardi]

I'd like some of that Bama +7 also. I'm a Texas fan but they don't have it this year. They have been very lucky as well as playing a VERY soft schedule. TCU would beat Texas by 10+ and so will Bama.

[HoldEmHook!!]

Note jones has caught only 2 td passes the run is predictable and thats all they have without Ingram 3tds are off the board think about it.

well this proves it, you cant fix stupid.....McElroy threw for a touchdown and had 220 yards passing. we didnt even try most of the fourth we ran out the clock....Our defense is not spectacular, its smash-mouth...our Defense is awesome.......

[tltaylor89]

I live in Alabama and I watch all the Sec games I know how tough its is but it wasnt that tough this year atleast if you had all the good players.That is what happens in every conference each year they get all the good recruits and run the table each year .

[tltaylor89]

Alabama is starving for another championship so they got desperate and tried to buy 1 remember that everytime Alabama meet with a coach it was "Breaking News " come on you were better off with (Shula) ROFL

yes I am sober...but are you high, read your post "I never thought i would be Arguing for another conference" What the ? you cant even remember what you said. Texas will get beat. Make sure you come back to this sight to admit your mistakes.....see you then...Goodnight

[Moonpie0954]

I never said anything about Texas not having talent. Were is TCU and Boise St. on rivals yet they woop ass every year. So that settles that but what im saying is Texas cant matchup with Bama in anything they might have a slight edge in passing but once Bama gets the run going playaction will be open all day.

[tltaylor89]

We will see my friends

[Irish Lumberjack]

Stop Ingram! first of all thats a tall task in it's self, and also Ingram might not even be the best tailback on the team! Bama's D is too good and they can wear down the Texas D when on Off.

[Chi_archie]

should Texas even be in this game? the refs gave them their win vs Nebraska didn't they?

[tltaylor89]

I would have rather saw TCU go pull a Utah on Alabama ass

[Moonpie0954]

TCU would probably give Bama a tougher time

[Ralphie1412]

Funny stuff.

Just look how South Carolina beat up clemson, and GT lost to Georgia.....Two teams that played in the ACC championship lost to middle of the pack SEC teams. The top tier teams in the SEC is like the minor leagues to the NFL.

I watched Texas all year come out flat against teams like UCF and Wyoming. Then when push came to shove they couldnt do dick against Oklahoma in the cotton bowl offensively for MOST of the game. Bradford looked sharp when he came out, they only won that game because Landry Jones couldnt do anything. Oklahoma knocked colt on his ass every play if they didnt get the sack. What do you think Texas will do when Arenas and McClain shoot off the side on a double blitz? What are they going to do when Jordan Shipley gets shut down by Arenas?

McElroy has all the confidence in the world now. Even if he doesnt show up, they will run the ball down their throat. Texas was better last year and didnt get into the National Championship and then won in a close game to a subpar Ohio St. squad.

Texas is so out of their league in this game its not even funny. The REAL championship was last saturday, Florida #1 v. Bama #2.....Florida at number 5 just shows what a joke this whole system is.

[2daBank]

not only does bama play in the much stronger conference the big 12 was seriously down this year i mean the only other team that was worth a damn was okla and they lost there starting qb and season pretty early yet still gave tex all they wanted. then lets look at nebraske a team that if wasnt mentally challenged on offense would have won that gm easy and the only reason neb was playing in the big 12 champ. gm was because the big 12 north was absolutely pitiful this year. look back at tex out of conf. schedule they played no1 and hardly covered a spread against those shit teams. tex backers how da hell do you think there sorry wrs create any space against bamas secondary? sure tex run d is ranked high but have they played any1 with a running gm ranked in the top 50? i could go on and on but tex is basically in this gm because they got shafted last year now they get to see it wouldnt have mattered they'll get beat down like okla did last year

[BadNina]

Wile, I get what you are saying in regards to the recruiting stats. But that is a lot like NFL draft picks. Just cause a player is listed high doesn't mean the performance is there. Shoot, look at Cory Reamer on Bama's defense. Nick Saban said coming in that he didn't think Reamer would ever play. But the kid worked hard and now he is a started. Look at all the walk ons. Some of those highly touted recruits end up not being able to deal with the academics. That said, I expect it to be a hard hitting, exciting game.

TLTaylor, just admit that you are a Barner. Your jealousy is showing. You said the exact same things last week. All you are doing is copying/pasting your comments and changing Florida to Texas.

[Chi_archie]

great points neener


look at USC
