Wade Christopher.  Remember this name.

Why wasn't Wade Christopher able to win a starting spot?  What's wrong with him?

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

The coaches were afraid he would already be in jail for killing a QB.  Can't risk that before the Iron Bowl, ya know.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

What hard hitting walk-on provides this hits?

What university provided you with this grammar skills?

PS.  I hate that you"re right about the walk-on situation.

"So I want everybody to think here for a second, how much does this game mean to you? 'Cause if it means something to you, you can't stand still. You understand? You play fast! You play strong! You go out there and dominate the man you're playing against, and you make his ass quit! That's our trademark! That's our M.O.... as a team! That's what people know us as!" ~ Nick Saban

I think Saban should hold a contest for the frats in Tuscaloosa.  Winner gets to play offense in the Iron Bowl for the entire 2nd quarter. 

I also like the way Birmingham is handling this thread.  All part of my diabolical plan. 

I'm sending letters and emails to all of the Alabama players asking them if they think Saban should rest the starters for the Iron Bowl.  I'll then send pictures of our walk-ons with their high school stats/measurements. 

Hey, the bigger the head, the faster it goes limp.  Or something like that.

..I wouldn't be here talking about whether or not to play my starters, I'd be out in my Bentley Continental GT trying to find a better looking wife than Terry, and figuring how I could get more money from ND.

We weren't sure about last season.  We honestly thought Tuberville would pull a Tuberville and win the game. 

This season, we couldn't beat your team if Ingram played center and Tiffin played nose tackle.  In fact, I think Saban should take a trip to Costa Rica for Thanksgiving.  He needs a week off, don't ya think?

Last season, there was no doubt AU would lose. Losing your OC halfway through the season, and seeing the chaos thereafter, only sealed the deal. In some ways, this year's AU team shows some of the same characteristics. However, at least AU has things "intact", compared to last season. Everything is headed in one direction. They actually have an offense.....well, somewhat. Here are some interesting stats:

Auburn has given up an average of 169.7 rushing yards per game, but 190.7 rushing yards per game in SEC play.

Auburn's offense has averaged 48.75 points to nonconference opponents, while only scoring an average of 25.6 ppg in SEC play.

Alabama is averaging 225.6 rushing yards per game on the season. In SEC play, that number is 195.1 rushing yards per game.

Alabama has surrendered an average of 9.9 ppg to opponents on the season, and 9.1 ppg to SEC teams.

We have faced a better offense than AU's against Arkansas, and shut it down. The best defense AU has faced was ranked #19th in the country, and AU won. But then again, they lost against the #28, #32, #54, and #95 ranked defenses. The best offense AU has won against was against Ole Miss, who is ranked #42 in total offense. Alabama is ranked #30 in total offense. Last season, Alabama's offense was ranked as #52, and the defense was ranked #3 in the country.

I think this game comes down to matchups. And I honestly can't see any advantages for AU there. The closest AU comes here is at RB. Overall, I think Alabama has the better backfield with an Ingram/Richardson tandom.

You mean 12 days. Don't say 2 weeks, Chizad will freak out.

As I said a few days ago, that is the only thing that gives me an uneasy feeling. I don't like that he has 12 DAYSSSSSS of prep time. Frankly, I'm not worried about prep time for the AU defense. Its not like we do anything all that fancy on offense that you need two weeks to prep for. But then again, his offense hasn't been able to overcome a team like Kentucky. His offense is fairly simplistic in itself as well. Its like I've been saying since he was hired; A good, disciplined defense can defeat his offense. Did you see the LSU game?
