Due to a losing streak of more than 3, the write up for the Playstation game will not appear. Instead we open up the mailbag again to answer your questions. As they did with South Carolina, the Hogs kept it close with Bama. Alabama 24 Arkansas 21.
Only one question this week as apathy is trending towards Johnelle Smith standards.
"You're the best arm chair quarterback I've seen, I bet at some point in your life you said Peyton Manning was no good. Why do you think Austin is better than Brandon?"
Thanks for the softball. I don't think I've ever said Peyton was no good, but yes, I do have a history of cussing him. He was a Tennessee Volunteer, why wouldn't I cuss him?? Why is Austin better? Because he can't be any worse. With this season all but over, there is no reason not to get him some experience. Don't give me the redshirt business. If he's going to redshirt, does that mean he is the primary backup next year and starts as a Sophomore?? Cmon Maaaaan! Let's face it, he needs to get in the game.....and Brandon must have naked pictures of Jen.
So the Hogs are trying to find every way possible not to feel sorry for themselves and must now travel to Tuscaloser, Alabama, home of the double wide trailer, the crow bar, and Beefy Bama girls.
Let's not forget that while the state of Alabama is the most confused redneck state in the nation, their footbawl team is awfully damn good. So good that they've created a statue of a coach who is no less still alive, but is coaching their team! The Beefy Bama girls turn into grown men on the football field and are an absolute dominating force in the world of college football. But Coach Bielema told the team, "you don't get on the plane if you don't have the attitude to go win the football game tomorrow." Here's hoping the plane doesn't take off in an illegal formation.
Brandon Allen put in a full week of practice for the first time since injuring his shoulder and the full gameplan was practiced full speed all week long. While that will make a slight difference in timing and performance, it is still a crucial aspect for receivers to actually CATCH the football. It may also be helpful if a few of the receivers grew hands on their butts since that's where most balls are thrown to them. The full week of practice should help that cause, but the true question will be "How will Allen respond when he realizes the beating he took in his first career start last year wasn't just a bad dream?" Nick Satan will be throwing the kitchen sink at the poor kid every play. It will be the defensive version of Spurrier last week. Arkansas' offensive line will get a "man test" this week.
There's only one thing to look forward to this week and that's hoping they show Katherine Webb on tv. A road game to the football mecca with a team that has little to no chance, means the visiting Arkansas crowd will be little to none. The good thing that comes from that is Webb will be easy to spot and the other Bama girls will have plenty of room to sit.
6:00pm on ESPN. You can decorate the mantle, heat up the cheese dip, and yell at the TV, but don't forget to hide the women and the children. It's a Bama beat down this week folks.
