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

SEC CHAMPIONSHIP COMIC!

Sorry I haven't posted in, like, FOREVER, but health issues have me VERY limited! Here, for your enjoyment, is my FIRST comic about the SEC Championship Game between the Georgia Bulldogs and THE UNIVERSITY of ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE.

ROLL TIDE!

SOOEY, PIG..!! TIDE ROLLS INTO FAYETTEVILLE TO SLAUGHTER HAWGS!!

Well, the Arkansas Razorbacks lost last week to an unranked Louisiana-Monroe, dropping out of the Top25 and KILLING BAMA's power rankings. ESPN Gameday was scheduled to broadcast from Fayetteville, but Arkansas ruined their opportunity to be the center of the 'College Football Universe'. Tyler Wilson will mercifully be held out to save him another beating.

Prediction: ALABAMA 35, Arkansas 14

auburn 28, ULM 27.... plainsmen/war-eagles/tigers get lucky. It would be great if they lost, as it would put Louisiana-Monroe 2-0 and in first place in the SEC West. The TIDE needs cow college to win for our strength-o-schedule ratings.

tennessee 31, Florida 24.... I hate orange, but we need the Viles to win for OUR power rankings. I think they just might be a little more explosive than the seemingly plodding gators.

South Carolina 28, UAB 10..... meh... spurrier... who cares anymore.....
LSU 31, Idaho 10...... Mmmmmm..... taters...... Corndogs should handle them easily..
Georgia 45, Florida Atlantic 24..... Bulldogs secondary exposed, but they still win easily
Vanderbilt 28, Presbyterian 10.... meh
I hope Mississippi State can beat Troy, and that Ole Miss can get by Texas, but I'm afraid to make those two picks. I don't know enough about Missouri or Texas A&M yet to predict those.
I just hope they ALL win their out-of-conference match-ups.

ROLL TIDE!

 ROLL TIDE! THE University of ALABAMA Crimson Tide, as expected, plowed through Vanderbilt last night 34-0 in a game that Nick Saban and I agree should have been MUCH more lopsided. Quarterback A.J. McCarron (from Mobile) had a career night- passing for 237 yards, running back Trent Richardson (from Pensacola) again rushed for over 100 yards, and the Tide defense punished the Commodores in the second half to eventually pull away. BAMA is 6-0 (3-0 SEC), and has Ole Miss, Tennessee, and then an open date before the looming showdown with LSU. THAT's gonna be a goody!

Now-WTH is up with the cow college?? auburn now has "war eagle tramp-stamps" on their uniform pants!

I saw it last night during the plainsmen-tigers-wareagles-or whatever's loss to Arkansas. Had to hunt a pic, but here it is, found on a cow college link HERE

TIDE Swamps, Stomps Gators; Moves To #2

The University of ALABAMA just clobbered the Florida Gators 38-10 down in Gainesville last night in a battle of ranked SEC unbeatens. The Tide started slow & tentative, giving up a long pass play for a spectacular touchdown on the first play from scrimmage, sending the home crowd into a frenzy.
 It was all downhill for the Gators from there, as BAMA pounded, punished and pulverized them in just about every way imaginable. For the third week in a row, the starting quarterback was mercifully pulled in order to minimize injury. In this case, however, he returned when the backup was also knocked out of the game.
 Courtney Upshaw pounded the quarterback, then literally added insult to injury two plays later by taking an interception back for a touchdown. Trent Richardson, as usual, was a beast.

The dominant performance over a previously-unbeaten Florida team leap-frogged The TIDE over the Oklahoma Sooners to the No. 2 spot in the AP Poll.

MMMmmmm......! Tide Devours Hogs!

 Big Al makes his way home with the spoils of the day after the UNIVERSITY of ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE butchered the Arkansas Razorbacks 38-14 yesterday in an SEC showdown in Tuscaloosa.
The Alabama Defense was stifling, and the offense put on a workman-like pounding to serve notice to the rest of the SEC West. Looks like the REAL Championship will be November 5th in Tuscaloosa's Bryant-Denny Stadium.
ROLL TIDE!

ONLY....

41 Days 'Til KICKOFF...!!!

RTR!

GREAT New ESPN Commercial

ROLL TIDE!

IRON BOWL Prediction Coming.....!

I will posting my pick for tomorrow's upcoming epic struggle in T-Town a little later this evening, after everyone has enjoyed their Thanksgiving feast.

JARED ELLIS, Grand Bay Tigers WIN CHAMPIONSHIP IN OT!!

ALBA- The Grand Bay Tigers won the "9 & 10 Yr-Old" Championship Saturday with a 20-12 Over-time victory over the previously-unbeaten MOWA Chiefs. The Tigers defeated a Chiefs team that hadn't lost a game in over two years!

Here the teams meet to shake hands after a hard-fought, nail-biting battle:

The team poses with their trophies below:

Great Trick-or-Treaters!

The NEW BAMA TWINS, Cole and Wade Ellis, both dressed as "BIG AL" for Halloween this past weekend. In the above picture, they are seated in the wagon, eating fistfuls of Tootsie-Roll Pops.

Though the shape of the ears and their diminutive height cause them to resemble mice (specifically Jerry from Tom&Jerry), the trunk and colors signify that they ARE, in fact, a very little herd of elephants.

They were having their way with some candy like The TIDE will have their way with LSU this weekend.

ROLL TIDE!
