BamaGrad03 0 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Could you handicap bama hawaii and bama arkansas for me? Im curious your thoughts (honest not flame city) on those two. If youve been reading Arkansas practice reports, youll see why I think Bama will be favored in that one. How do you think those two games turn out?

WAR-MATT 2 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Not Galen but would like to add my 2 cents. I think Bama rolls both and takes down UF again. I think Bama loses to . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otterinbham 0 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I personally think Hawaii is a trap game for Alabama, moreso than Arkansas. Alabama was decimated by graduation, both on defense and in offensive skill positions. Add an opponent that can put points on the board and Shula's unproven ability to get a team ready by the first game of the season (Yeah, I know. CTT struggles in that department, too ), and you could have a defeat on your hands. And if Alabama loses to Hawaii, it's anybody's guess how the rest of the season will go. If Alabama does well against the Warriors, then probably you will beat everybody up to Tennesssee. I'm not totally convinced that the Vols are back, but Cutcliffe will be a far better offensive coordinator than last year's bozo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWK 0 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 They will beat Hawaii by 7 points, and they will beat Arkansas by 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GalensGhost 0 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I'm in a meeting and don't have time for the full bore analysis. I do think Alabama beats Hawaii. Arkansas doesn't impress me. I would think Alabama wins both. I'm not as sold on Bama as some of the lunatics I run into are. I don't see them rolling into Florida 6-0 and blowing out the Gators on the way to NC #428, but I don't think it's a stretch to see them win 8 or 9. The schedule is pretty soft. The games I think Alabama could lose are: Tennessee, LSU, Florida and Auburn. The rest I tend to think they'll win. Given that luck is fickle, 2-2 would be a nice split on those but I can't figure out who the two would be. Tennessee will be much improved.

WAR-MATT 2 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I see the top three in west all beating the Gators this year. Pellini, Muschamp and Kines are all to good of cordinators to let Urban's gimmicky offense beat them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Hawaii is the same as Northern Illinois because they both beat uat, which is the same as ole miss. Do try and keep up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleDrill 178 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 On a totally unrelated side note... I hung out some with wardmiller and the band director from U of Hawaii at wardmiller's lake house this summer. Very cool guy, and he absolutely LOVES Auburn. Just puts a new spin on the whole "Beatdown Coming" thing. You may now resume your previous conversations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tigrinum Major Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 1999- La Tech (we also won the SEC title that year) Don't forget 1997. And that this (LA Tech) is a program that has never beaten: Barksdale AFB Birmingham Southern Delaware Fort Benning Hardin-Simmons Missouri State Montana State Pacific Saint Edward's Shreveport YMCA Stetson Tulane Vanderbilt Western Michigan Wyoming or Xavier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinCrimson 61 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 The point? Yes, we've lost some games we shouldn't have... but still, bringing up the fact that LT has never beaten Xavier has nothing to do with anything. Funny how some can talk out of both sides of their mouth. We're not allowed to talk about the 1925 Rose Bowl because it's "in the past" but it's a-ok to pull up LTU's games from freaking 1915? Give me a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me a break. "Not allowed"? There you go with the hyperbole again. If you weren't "allowed" to talk about those things, you would have been banned by now. Show me an instance of me jumping an Alabama's fan case about bringing up the past. You might find me making fun of some, but to say you are "not allowed" to do that is assuming facts not in evidence. You have every right to be proud of that 1925 Rose Bowl. But it has exactly nothing to do with what will occur this year. Just as the 1997 LA Tech game will. Just as 2003 Auburn has nothing to do with 2006 Auburn, save a few players that ae common to both teams. Be proud of your history. Don't expect us to bow down to the same.

wardamneagle 0 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Not Galen but would like to add my 2 cents. I think Bama rolls both and takes down UF again. I think Bama loses to . I think UAT beats UH, but definitely doesn't roll... 31 - 28 UAT, on another last second FG. No way UAT beats UF in the swamp. If, and a big IF, Bammer wins on one of those four games it'll be against UT. UF will have revenge on their side for last year's game, plus it'll be in the swamp, one of the toughest stadiums to play in and Jessica Parker Wilson will basically CUM has learned his lesson on the gimmicky spread offense, he won't make the same mistakes twice, if he does he should be fired on the spot for stupidity. UT should be better, but they've got allot of question marks on that team, from personnell to staff. If UT starts out strong against Cal, then UAT may not win any of the four, plus they lose to Arky. UAT welcome to 7-5 and cograts on your trip to Shreveport in 06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaGrad03 0 Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 Yeah, you guys can laugh and point about losing to la tech all you want. We lost to them in 99 and beat Auburn IN auburn. And went on to win the SEC title. After beating UF twice that year. So if La Tech beat us...and we beat you IN auburn...how bad does that make you suck? Hawaii beat us the same year NIU did. When we were 4-7 and didnt have our head coach for spring practices. Hawaii went 9-5 that season. NIU went 10-2 and also beat Iowa State AND Maryland that season. So spare me please.
