Just curious as to the feel and thoughts y'all have for the most hyped game of the season.

From a BAMA fan: I liked Johnny M. through the Heisman race. I liked him until I realized he is a spoiled brat with serious issues. I am glad to see A&M doing well... I hope JM's behavior doesn't bite A&M in the end.

It is really cool to see this game the weekend after Bear's 100th Birthday (September 11).

I <think> BAMA is going to win, but it would not be a big surprise if A&M won. I'm hoping VT's defense is better than advertised, and with how poorly A&M's defense has performed in the first two games, look to see BAMA's offense rebound. BAMA's defense is much better than A&M's other two opponents.

My News & Advance "U Pick Em" prediction (coincidentally) happens to be the same as Phil Steele's.

BAMA 34, A&M 20

What say you?

Someone will forfeit this game 5 years from now.

[RubberMallet]

its 36 hours from being played and its already been analyzed to the hilt. i already dont' care.

[Sly Fox]

Is it possible for both teams to lose? No? Then let's have a scoreless tie.

A and M wins......because they already dodged their NCAA violation and Bama will have to 'vacate' all wins for the last 25 years That way ND can say they were National Champs last year! See, it's all a Papal conspiracy.

everybody hates Johnny football and I know he is a jerk, but I can't help but cheer for the guy just so people get ticked off haha

Play. Of. The. Year. He just put himself back in the Heisman race. He is much more subdued this game which I credit to Sumlin. I bet they had a come to Jesus meeting and Sumlin wasn't afraid to bench him.

You were saying?

Off to see the Flames.

It was still the play of the year. I don't think his 95 yd T'D pass beat it. But he didnt do anything to hurt his repeat chances.

[thepostman]

He also doesn't play defense. Terrible defense most of the day by A&M

Yeah A and M run defense is atrocious. Although he did almost have a good tackle after his 2 nd Int

[alabama24]

Best player on the field was AJ. The guy is ridiculously clutch. If Yeldon doesn't fumble at the 1 yard line we are talking about how Bama blew A&M out right now.

Interesting take. I think AJ will do better in the draft than JM.

Two weeks ago my BAMA bretheren were weeping and nashing teeth: BAMA ain't got no offense. This week I'm sure it'll be BAMA ain't got no defense.

Thankfully the team has a little time to gel now before another serious test... Although the Ole Miss game is suddenly looking more interesting.
