Warm temperatures, 6 pm ESPN game, hostile crowd, and us against the world...

[The OTR]

...mentality and the Hogs still have a snow balls chance to keep this one close. 

Hate to say it. 

59-7 Alabama.  We score 7 only if they put in their second team and only if the jelly sandwiches at halftime work for once in our lives.

Hope all you malcontents and ne'erdowells are happy with this prediction.  I'm sure not.

And for the record...all you guys who think it's a sure thing that we will have a new coach next year need to watch a second half of the season rally for the Hogs.  We're going to play Auburn tougher than most think and we have a decent shot at 6 and 6.  If we go 6 and 6 and get a bowl game there's a good chance CBB is back next year.  And Long will spin this as a rebuilding year, disappointing but we new it would be this way...a few assistant coaches will be fired..."we have a great recruiting class coming in" will be our mantra. 

The only way CBB is fired is if it is in Long's best interest to do so.  Long first and foremost will do anything to save his own job.  He wants to keep him but won't hesitate to fire him if it affects his own job. Long is entrenched, boys. He ain't going anywhere no matter how many times Delta and some of the rest of you post "Fire Jeff Long".

We need to get behind this team for the rest of the season.  We're a bunch of sorry sad sacks and 80% of you seem to be hoping we lose so CBB is more likely to get fired.  I hope we go out and play Alabama tough and get some confidence and then come home and upset Auburn and get on a roll the rest of the season.

[hogcard1964]

I think we play 'em tight until the 4th quarter.

Bama - 42
Hogs - 28

Fire Jeff Long!!

[PharmacistHog]

I dont figure saban is in a big hurry to get bielema out of the SEC. he'll probably take it easy on us and rest his starters and second and third string so we'll probably keep it within three td's.

[Hogarusa]

Those conditions favors the Hogs

Interesting...except he's so angry about A & M last week that he will take it out on us this week.

I really worry about the safety of our players.  It is like putting a decent jr. high team out against a really good high school team.  We have no chance due to their size, speed, and talent. Zero. Their defensive line against our offensive line is the mismatch of the century. We may have negative rushing yards in the first half.

This will probably be the least hostile crowd you've ever seen at Bama. It also may very well be the most passive aggressive you've ever seen too. The 'too bad y'all ain't as good as us' stuff will get old.

Bama's cornerbacks can really hit people.  This is what worries me with the high throws.

The fans have all day to drink and tailgate.  They will be hostile.  People from Alabama are obnoxious by nature. Give them a full day to drink and they will be almost unbearable.

[prattville pig]

we will score a touchdown or a field goal in the first half, we will score a touchdown or a field goal towards the end of the game.  I have no way to predict what Bama will score.

Only way we score in the first half is if we crack open the jelly sandwiches before the game rather than waiting until halftime.

How do we move the ball against them except by some freak play?

I forget in your neighborhood raising one's voice is considered hostile. Bama = Annoying, a-holes... LSU = Hostile, monkey's flinging poo at the damn zoo..!

Maybe they are planning to have one of those special guests who gets to run a td for the first play and we can take the ball from him and score.

a double dose of jelly sandwich and a false sense of hope is created after we play em closer than the experts think. On second thought,  what was I thinking.   Our OL against that D? Eeeeeejjjjkkhhhhhh.  UGLY .

Pretty solid analytics here, PHJ. All things considered to date, can't argue with any of this.

Of course he's talking my language when he's talking jelly sandwiches so I guess he ain't too bad of an old boy.

It's up to Bielema to save his job and it starts with the team's performance against Alabama and then Auburn.  If the team quits, gets embarrassed on national t.v. once again for the remainder of the year then I don't see how he survives.  I don't see how anything short of 6/6 in regular season and a good bowl win will save his job.  Then again, Jeff Long uses a different measuring stick than most fans.

Pillowhead, well unfortunately I couldn't wait for your analysis of this "contest". I had to get some money down before Vegas wouldn't take any more money on the Tide. Just got in under the wire. Thanks anyway.

[Sed76]

Another whipping with the usual sound bytes afterwards. Will be told all the mistakes are correctable. The team is close, just can't overcome bad breaks. Same old same old.

[code red]

I think we play 'em tight until the 4th quarter.

Bama - 42
Hogs - 28

I know we r not a good as Vandy.  28 points is a stretch.  Sabin will be looking to avenge what Mond did last Saturday.  It will be ugly.

[DeltaBoy]

Saban goes up 36-42 points in the first half , 2nd team O comes out and the first team D stays in till the start of the fourth .  Hogs will kick a late field goal to lose 50 -3

That all sounds good but there is no way we kick another fluke field goal.  We've only had five years to find a kicker. We need more time to develop our kicking game.

This is a very astute insight for those looking to fine tune their positions for the score guessing thread. This year's trend is 1 FG made per 5 games so the next one at the earliest should be the LSU game. I tend to favor the over. More specifically, if we utilize Mayan calendar mathematics and assuming no staff changes are made, our next made FG will be a 31 yarder on September 28th, 2019.

Go ahead and explain that one to Delta.

This might do the trick...

Not by a jug full can I opine us making a FG in the next fortnight. To acknowledge the corn on my own hook without peacocking about, I would be knocked into a cocked hat, wallpapered into a good balderdash from the bark juice and John Barleycorn, down from the Virginia quick step after poorly grabbing a root before I saw us making a FG cause it seems to be scarce as hen's teeth before I even set up in robber's row for the Mayan calendar humbug.

Bold prediction:  Hogs will upset Bama this Saturday... for the sole reason that we will have to keep Bielema for another season, and the Football Gods hate us.

Maybe for the first half...we all know what happens in the second half.

I think UCA could come out in Bama's uniforms and hang 45 on us.  I have no idea what we could possibly do to even stay on the field with Bama unless they turn it over 7 times and Saban strokes out before halftime.  With an O-fer-CBB's-tenure when trailing at half, really...all we need to do is watch until halftime, unless we're ahead and then we still have a less than 50% chance in conference. 

I sound like a ne'erdowell don't I?   

[hawgbawb]

Tight until the second quarter. If Bama is supremely overconfident we'll make it a game for a half.  Saban will be livid. don't beat
