Thank you both for adding the date. Let's hope that's the only assignment missed by the Blue Devils this week.

35-31 good guys. Bold? Cut eases up on them in the 2nd half. Yeah, I do bold.

[Acymetric]

Is there a standard place where games are available for replay?

Or delusional?

Or delusional?

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.

Just who is "we" that said that....

[budwom]

just as a reference pt, given the 34 pt spread and 58 o/u, the anticipated score is 46-12...

Hope it’s not two missed PATs. Special teams scare me cause I think all our ACC games will be close.

[CameronBlue]

Or delusional?

You my be right. Cut would never "ease" up on anyone in the 2nd half. Encourages bad habits and he knows there'll be no quit in 'Bama.

I think we cover: we will run and bleed clock, and our D will slow them down a bit.

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!

So we got that going for us. Which is nice.

[Troublemaker]

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.

[mattman91]

I just hope we score a touchdown.

I just hope we score a touchdown.

There you go again....being realistic
