Title: Where does this Alabama team finish in the Big 12 (toughest league in CFB)
Post by: pissclams on December 04, 2022, 06:05:02 PM
I don’t think Alabama football is on television much but I was able to find some available game replays on ESPN+.  This is a very average team in every aspect of the game, on both sides of the ball.   :blank:  :blank:

They went 6-2 in a below average Southeastern Conference.  B12 much stronger conference top to bottom and plays every other conference opponent, schedule not helped by weak division schedules.  Wish we had bye weeks against ATM or Vandy on our schedule  :lol:

They lost to a piece of crap Louisiana Technical University that we motorboated in our bowl game last year  :lol:

If in the B12, I say they finish 3-6 in B12 play tied for 7th with KU/OU/WVU.

We should be looking forward to another NYE yawner against a downgraded SEC league member.

SEC =  :'bye cruel world:

Honestly I don’t know they have enough offensive firepower to win 3 games in the big 12 but you have always been a fair critic so I will defer to you on that.

In this hypothetical, are they the 11th team and playing 10 conference games? I initially think 4-6 but factoring that they’re not used to that strength of schedule 3-7 more likely.

I just looked at a map to see where Tuscaloosa even is. Middle of nowhere! I could imagine they’d have the talent to hang with Lubbock, Waco or Ames, but that’s about it.

Rumor is that their quarterback is afraid to play us. He saw what Duggan looked like at the end of the game and he's going to sit out game out.

I think you guys are being a bit too negative here. It’s true that Alabama couldn’t even win their division in the South Athletic Conference, but what a lot of people forget is that they DID beat a Big 12 opponent this year.

That’s obviously way different than the grind of playing in the Big 12 week after week, but Texas is no slouch. I’d put Alabama as solidly in the top half of the Big 12. Maybe as high as #4 this season.

i think we could swap them for Iowa State and no one would ever know the difference.

both schools have very similar stadiums too and anyone who says they could tell the difference between ames and tuscaloosa is lying

texas didn’t have their best player available for that game

Alabama's best win this season was Texas who didn't even make the Big12 championship game presented by Dr Pepper....that's all you need to know about the barners.

If it’s how they’d fare in mold aggie’s wading boots, I might say 2-7. I was counting isu as one of bama’s sure wins.

3rd place in the Big 12 if the ball bounces in their favor all season long.

Do they even have a defense?  Arkansas scored 27 against them and Auburn scored 26?   :lol: :lol: (ftp://:lol: :lol:).  I mean how many would Tech and KU score against that garbage team?

Initially got excited for a showdown with the Blazers. Then found out it’s the other Alabama school we’re playing. Only letdown on an otherwise pleasant weekend :rolleyes:

They would probably beat WVU since Saben is from Western Virginia, maybe get a win against the scrappy Cyclones in a close game, otherwise I can't find a win for Crimson

I have been reading about these guys and there are some things I can't make heads or tails of. Supposedly they are the crimson tide (whatever tf that means) but their mascot is an elephant. Elephants are gray, not crimson. Is the idea that they are a gang of carnies, traveling around with the circus? I guess maybe that makes sense. We are going to beat their carnie asses.

If memory serves the crimson has something to do with some like mold or fungus or bacteria or whatever that grows in the water. Weird thing to be proud to be a FEMA superfund site but really explains a lot about their poor health and limited brain activity

So what is up with the elephant?

It’s common in waters near poor/inadequate agricultural practices. Naturally these hayseeds celebrate the phenomenon and the massive loss of aquatic life gets them super jacked.

Guys, please be serious. This is the legendary ALABAMA FOOTBALL we are playing.

Unfortunately, this feels a lot like Michael Jordan with the Wizards. Hakeem Olajuwon with the Raptors. Emmitt Smith with the Cardinals.

It’ll be fun to see them for nostalgia purposes, but really it’s just kinda sad. Saban is clearly on the down slide of his career.

If Saban could stay sober, I think he would have given West Virginia a run for their money as who gets to lord over ISU in the rankings this year.

I really think that's a 6-3 B12 team (assuming they get the injured KU QB that played most of the conference season).  Crunching some numbers of common opponents and common opponent's opponents, I have us as barely a TD favorite.  That means if we eff around and give up a big play, they'll be in the game.  The bottom line: Bama is pretty good and I hope our boys will give them some respect in the Sugar Bowl, despite our disappointment in missing the playoffs.

Didn't they finish the season against a pathetic Auburn team, and FCS Austin Peay?  They probably feel pretty jacked right now after steam rolling a couple of patsies.

Is the agriculture terrorist and bama mascot Harvey Updyke still roaming the phone lines of the south’s finest lawn and garden call in show hosted by Paul Finebaum?

Seems like since he decided to poison a tree, Bama has really failed to meet expectations.

In KU’s worst day of the last 2 decades, they aren’t losing because of crap like the kick six
