Kentucky special teams making Tennessee's look good by comparison
Two blocked punts and a blocked FG already, and we’re not even to halftime. Yikes.

She was frightened by the violence of Alabama's pregame exercises
Give me Erin Andrews any day … and not just because she’s better looking

I rip my hair out every time our corners give those free completions
because of their 10 yards cushions.
"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."

They do look efficient on Offense
need to keep it close they always seem to go flat in the second half.

is it always the first half good, second half bad for ’Bama?

Pretty much
Started with Georgia. Alabama fans are pissed, and some in the SEC are beginning to call it the “prevent offense.”

Is it just me or does it seem like the crowd is much more energized tonight?
Our team came to play ball, we may not be in the lead yet, but its obvious that we can beat these guys if we just buckle down and get our heads in the game.
