Saban has Covid.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Saban link.

 

[SoxJox]

Probably got it from that damn duck.

 

[j-man]

this a-st game is good oh i am about 5 minutes from the studium

 

[canderson]

I've seen more than one reputable Alabama journalist say Saban will be on the sidelines tomorrow. WTF?

Well he certainly wants to

Maybe they meant sidelined

But I'm for all for giving Covid to his players. Well not really, but you know what I mean

Anyone watching SMU-Tulane?

 

[canderson]

Anyone watching SMU-Tulane?

Yup. Fun game - go Shane!

 

[canderson]

Doink from 57 yards to win it. OT we go.

 

[mauf]

Yup. Fun game - go Shane!

Too bad he couldn’t pick up 5 yards on 1st or 2nd down. I think the kicker gots that one from 52 — those extra yards make the accuracy so much tougher, even if you’ve got the leg to get it there.

 

[mauf]

SMU wins in spite of their long snapper. (Bad snap there, and also on the attempt in the final minute of regulation.)

 

[canderson]

Saban is coachin. Had 3 negative tests.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Mullen tests positive
Karma.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Woo pig sooie!

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

This is one of the worst defenses Alabama has had in the Saban era. No better time than now for Kirby and Georgia to finally win a big one against them.

I agree with this. Alabama is gettable.

 

[luckiestman]

Like I said two weeks ago, NOLES are back

 

[Ale Xander]

Go Georgia!

 

[Ale Xander]

Hella start

Edit: nope

Kinda bummed they didn't move this to 3:30 after UF LSU postponement. (To not go against Game 7, and minorly BC VT and ABC game)

Edit 2: yup

Edit 3: All sorts of TO's

 

[JokersWildJIMED]

Biggest game of the year and they don’t have any good camera angles. Unreal

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Well that isn't good

 

[mauf]

This pandemic is really driving home the cognitive dissonance of being a bleeding-heart liberal who roots for Bama.

Genuinely curious--I get the bleeding-heart liberal part, but why do you room for the Tide?

 

[Ale Xander]

camerawork is atrocious

John Hannah?

 

[canderson]

Woo pig sooie!

Piggy was one of the worst P5 teams of the past decade last season. They were worse than horrible.

The turnaround is something else. They should be 3-1.

My dad’s an alum. So I’ve been a fan since the tail end of the Bear era (iow, as long as I can remember).

That's legit.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Georgia has to run the ball

 

[mauf]

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen anyone make a worse decision on a football field than the Bama CB did there. WTF??

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

What the hell is happening in the UNC/FSU game? How is it happening?

 

[luckiestman]

What the hell is happening in the UNC/FSU game? How is it happening?

I told you two weeks ago man. This Jordan Travis at QB with Mike Norvell coaching him is no joke. As soon as Blackman hit the bench it’s like my ass got in a time machine to the 90s.

I don’t know if our D can hold up. I expect UNC to make a run in the second half.

Edit: FSU already screwed up to start the second half. Some ridiculous penalties.

 

[canderson]

The Fightin’ Macks are trying to make a comeback.

 

[luckiestman]

The Fightin’ Macks are trying to make a comeback.

As soon as our oline guy slapped someone for a personal foul when we were first and goal I knew we were in for some shit.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Oh, Georgia. You never fail to disappoint.

 

[luckiestman]

Yay, every QB I root for has a separated shoulder. WTF???

 

[absintheofmalaise]

The turnaround has been great and totally unexpected.

 

[nolasoxfan]

The views of the fans in the stands at the Fla. State - UNC game is fucking frightening. Honestly, what the fuck is wrong with people in this country?

 

[luckiestman]

GARNET & GOLD

I mean, they made the decision to live in Tallahassee, right? I'd be OK with doing all I could to get a potentially fatal illness if I was in that predicament.

I watched a bit of the Alabama - UGa game. It is cute when 'Bama lets the Dawgs hang around for a bit.

Michigan students issued a stay-in-place order for 2 weeks amid spiking COVID-19 cases. They are (well, were) scheduled to play in Minnesota Saturday to kick off the Big 10 season.

Edit: Athletes exempted. Good job, Michigan - way to set an example!

If I'm a student, I try to walk on the cross country or crew or golf or tennis team pronto.

Club athletes exempted too? EDIT nope, just varsity.
