If we win, we will move up in the rankings. There's a good chance we will be #1 in a few weeks--if Auburn loses a game or two. That will motivate the Bama fans.

Gotta love a ref refusing to admit he's wrong when it was an obvious 3... Flagler gets a 2 instead ..

Hopefully they'll review that. It was an obvious 3.
Ravich said they changed it, so that's good.

Thamba just got ****ing rocked... Ref yet again chokes on a whistle refusing to give Bama a single foul.

The scrum earlier had a tackle and pull down to get the ball that weren't called either.

No excuse for not being in position for rebounds. They have had a LOT of 2nd chance opportunities bc they are sending every player to the boards. Need some transition buckets.

So far, horrible ball handling, out hustled at every opportunity, turnovers on an insane scale, and refs that don't want to call Alabama for anything when even the TV guys are like "wow"... that tells you a lot.

Akinjo's 2 shots I've seen have both been short, wonder if that might be a residual issue with the tailbone/leg stuff.

That second collapse to the baseline was a great play.
