    Yes, I am a Bama fan.  Yes, I will be at game.  Yes, I have played Bama a lot this year.  No, I will not play Bama is I can win money on TX.

     I have had a tough run during bowl season and laid off today waiting on games that I feel are better plays.  LOVE Florida at -12.5 and have already played it rather heavy along with FSU +2.5.  Put both of them in a teaser and think these are best plays left on the board.  A few things I will let you know and any input will be welcomed.

    - Bama has a "second" teamer who got into a little trouble that has not been in media....FACT.  Should not affect game yet could if there is a "key" injury.

    - Saban has this team focused yet seems like practice has been off this week.  He held a "scrimmage" this week under the radar to try and avoid let down like he did last year.

    -Saban hired the Pacific Institute to help deal with the mental side of the game 3 year sago.  The major focus has been on helping the players deal with "success" this year after SECCG.

    - TX will focus in Ingram like Auburn did.  Will affect game.  I see Ingram rushing for 100+ yet will carry ball 20+ times.  Bama has won the time of possesion "game" this year.  Texas is good against the rush and this will be difficult.

    - Brown is playing the under dog role and liking it.  Advantage TX.  Saban is having to deal with this.  TX has been here before Bama has not.

    - Bama D will play TX like they did UF....keeping McCoy in the pocket and not rushing past him.  Tebow only had one big run and Bama DBs covered the Rec.  Look for the same.

    - Special Teams...well, I think this could go either way.

    Bottom line....I still see Bama winning but not covering the number at this point.  NOT a play for me...yet.  GL

    I will be at the game as well, been to 11 of the 13 games this season. Really would like to know who got in trouble, I havent heard anything significant. I think Greg will be the reason we will this game, hes just a winner. Not sure about giving 5 points though, but who knows. Nobody thought we'd kick Florida's ass like we did.

    Call me crazy but I think something that is helping Bama right now is everything that is going on in sports.... What is the media talking about right now, and what have they been talking about for a few weeks?? Not Bama and Texas... From Tiger, to all the coaching changes, to now Urban and just the past few days Leech from TT...Past Championship games have been talked about weeks leading up to the game, hell if someone didn't know the game was being played, they might not know until next week.. The Bama media has not really been talking about it at all... It has been real quite around here and one reason for that is everyone is scared Saban will freak out on them for pumping his players chest when there is still work to be done.. If Texas beats Bama it will be because they was better....This will be the most focused Bama team to date this year in what should be a hard faught battle... IMO though the team that wins this game covers ATS...

    The number is already down to 4 at -105 juice at some books.. It is coming down..

    koko...some of the "stuff" in media has helped.  Saban made it real clear in first presser that media needed to back the fuck off about playing for National Championship game.  He refers to it as "next" game.  Team is staying 1 hr away from Rose Bowl and will practice at CC field.  I think he is going old school on the team and would hope they get re-focused once they get to Cali.

    Alpha, agree with you. I am a devout Alabama fan for a long long time and have been cheering them on towards the national championship.

    But their dominance against Florida in the SEC hampionship game and Texas' "lucky" squeak by nebraska and the low opening numbers then jumping up with Alabama plays, and Engram winning Heisman scare me. I'm going to lay off this game and cheer for my Tides. Hope they win, don't really care if they don't cover. And I feel they won't. Just hope they don't lose outright.

    Take this from a Homer:

    1. When has Mack Brown ever been legit at coaching?

    -For the fact they are throwing the ball at the end against Nebraska which should have cost them the game?....Lets get past that though...



    2. When has Mack Brown "been there" before?...Vince Young won that NC on his own...That wasn't Brown!!!

    3.Colt is Great.   Shipley is as well.  Alabama has the tools to stop this...

    - Texas has no run game PERIOD! this year!

    Finally the best question of all:

    When has this so called great Texas defense been challenged this year by a well balanced offense?

    Never!  Not one time this year...OU was a clusterfcuk team and the game was still close...Neutral Site...Big time rival game.

    Texas struggled with Wyoming on the road, Colorado -in Austin, and Baylor til halftime...

    Granted Texas is a 2nd half team this year, but if they sink early forget it...

    Then as of late they get expose by TAMU?...Are you kidding me?

    Then follow with a circus game against Nebraska?...Pathetic.

    They don't deserve to even be here in this spot right now.

    Alabama has too many playmakers on offense...something this Texas defense hasn't seen all year!

    Florida D which I think is better than UT got smashed.

    Forget the Heisman jinx on this one:
