PLAYOFFS!! Sugar Bowl Comic! Prediction!

Well, here we are on the eve of a Sugar Bowl of historic proportions, as ALABAMA prepares to face off against OHIO State in a first-ever 'play-in' to a bona fide National Championship College Football Game.
The top-ranked, one-loss TIDE will clash with the 4th-ranked, one-loss Buckeyes in prime time-- the second playoff game of the day following the Oregon-Florida State Rose Bowl contest.

BRENTOONS BAMA Gameday Cover: BIG AL Nutcracker  prepares to crack open a Buckeye

   Urban Meyer brings a confident Buckeye squad into New Orleans with an underachieving chip on their shoulders to prove they belong. With a third-string quarterback and a string of victories against unimpressive foes, State wants desperately  to prove they belong in the Final Four.
 Coach Saban only has to remind his team of the importance of this game, the repercussions, and the total embarrassment from last season's Sugar Bowl loss to Oklahoma for motivation. The TIDE wants to rightly make history by advancing to the Championship Game, and will be focused on Ohio State Thursday night.

PREDICTION: 
ALABAMA 35, Ohio State 21

SEC Championship: More Tigers

Here we are again!
ALABAMA is in another SEC Championship Game, this time against the over-achieving Missouri Tigers.
Prediction: PAIN.

ALABAMA 35, Mizzou 17

ROLL TIDE!

IRON BOWL 2014

No more "Got a second...?".
That ship has sailed.
An entire year has passed, and 'the Big One' is upon us again. It's time for The IRON BOWL, the annual gridiron tilt between The UNIVERSITY of ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE and those other guys from across the state, the Auburn Tigers. ALABAMA has had a year to relive that last-second miracle, and you can bet they won't let anything like THAT happen again. As usual, here is my "GameDay Comic" and prediction of the outcome.

THE TIDE will be ready, and won't let any trick plays, bad bounces, or lucky breaks keep them from playing in the SEC Championship Game and the first-ever COLLEGE FOOTBALL DIVISION-1 PLAYOFF.

Prediction:

ALABAMA 35 Auburn 14

BAMA-Mississippi State 2014

OKAY, then! It's not very often that there's a TOP-5 matchup in which The TIDE isn't the higher ranked team. It DOES happen, however. It's just unusual that it's MISSISSIPPI STATE that is The #1 Team.
Let's just let that sink in a minute, shall we...?

The Mississippi State Bulldogs, ALABAMA'S closest neighbor in the SEC is sitting atop the national college football rankings. The undefeated State is playing solid, mistake-free football and winning consistently. Although that IS a bit unusual, it's actually a GOOD thing for The TIDE. You see, it will bode better for ALABAMA the more highly-ranked teams we defeat. Not to take anything away from MSU, but BAMA has been on the biggest of big stages before. Numerous times. (The only thing that scares me is that Corso picked The TIDE to win, but I think we can overcome that ugly mojo...!)

I believe Coach Saban will have the men pumped, primed and ready to assume their rightful place in the top spot. If they can win this one, get by the cowpies/plainsmen/war-eagles/tigers or whatever and win the SEC Championship Game, their chances look pretty good.

GAMEDAY PREDICTION:

ALABAMA 31, MSU 20

BIG AL: GATOR Style...!

The UNIVERSITY of ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE overcame some early miscues to come alive and bury the Florida Gators in a nationally-televised (cbs) matchup, 45-21. BIG AL looked so snazzy after he skinned the pesky Gators and made an outfit out of the hide, SECQ Magazine put him on the cover!

My Prediction...?  PAIN!

SEC Network Debuts

Well, they've talked about it for years.

 Today's the 'big day', the day that ESPN has hyped since its conception. The money machine that is The Southeastern Conference now has its own cable network, like the Big10 and the PAC10 before it.

 Modus Operandi: Get SEC fans used to watching, then move it to another cable channel package and charge more. Ho-hum. Channel 727 on Comcast Digital in Mobile.
ROLL TIDE ANYWAY!
