Well guys, we've said "We want Bama!" before, and here they are.
Let's take em.
<devildeac> anyone playing drinking games by now?
7:49:36<Wander> drink every qb run?
7:49:38<loran16> umm, drink every time asack rushes?
7:49:38<wolfybeard> @devildeac: drink when Asack runs a keeper
7:49:39 PM<CB&B> any time zack runs, drink
Carolina Delenda Est
Is there a standard place where games are available for replay?
i'm as hopeful as the next, but the odds of this game being close are quite long. If I had to guess, I'd say it's more likely than not it's less of a game than our last attempt.
That said, I'd watch all the same, were I not to be on a plane.
This is like early season basketball games. if alabama is not winning by a significant margin, something will have to have gone very wrongly for them. We seem to be pretty banged up already...I'm not sure I can bring myself to hope for much more than no further injuries.
It sounds defeatist, but there's also a reason I don't enter into the Chopin piano contest.
April 1
just as a reference pt, given the 34 pt spread and 58 o/u, the anticipated score is 46-12...

I was in grad school at Va Tech in the late 60s. Alabama was scheduled to come to Blacksburg, and my wife and I went -- the only football game we ever saw there. Bama won, but by a small amount. The best part was the scoreboard -- when Tech scored, there was a stylized turkey which ran across the top which went "gobble, gobble." I suspect that doesn't happen any more!
Duke is not the biggest underdog in the ACC this week
CU(-36)/GT
ND(-20.5)/Lville
Syr (-18)/Liberty
NCSU (-16.5)/ECU
FSU (-5.5)/Boise ST
VT (-4)/BC
WFU (-3.5)/Utah ST
UVA (-2.5)/Pitt
-----------------------
Pitt (+2.5)/UVA
BC (+4)/VT
Mia (+7)/UF
UNC (+9.5)/SoCar
Lville (+20.5)/ND
Duke (+35)/Alabama
GT (+36)/CU
Let's get after it.
At the same time, if the postgame injury report isn't too bad, that's not a "win" but would be pretty nice.
I just hope we score a touchdown.
