Yeah, and I just noticed that both Marshall and Wilson are second string now and Smith is third string coming off their suspensions...no "or" involved. Urban making them work to earn back their first-string status...

This is a fantastic move. It is made possible by the extreme level of talent available. This game will be unwatchable if you aren't an OSU fan.

Damn good to see you still around. Even if I was begrudgingly rooting for them, thanks for smacking around the cheeseheads. Never gets old for me.

I see that Saban and Kiffin are borrowing some pistol looks from Herman and others. How long until Saban is forced to run the hurry up no huddle?

P. S. I agree with fungo. It wanted me to type dingo, which I almost left there as a suitable replacement.

He won't run a HUNH because it is too stressful on his defense. But, Bama doesn't huddle any more, and in fact, they use cards to call plays now. Saban is quietly making changes that we never thought he would just four years ago. He got a little bit behind on the trends for a while. We will see how well the changes work. I think they will work fine, but I still don't see Bama getting through the schedule with less than 2 losses. Even MTSU may be a test with their offense.


Hawaii is an interesting team. I can never tell if they are going to play reasonably well or crap the bed. I don't think it matters against a team like OSU though.

Been watching Hawaii football for about a decade and a half. They almost always play like shit on the road, especially east of the Mississippi. Good example is when they had a home/away with Sparty in 2004/2005. In the 2004 game, Sparty went up something like 21-0 or 21-3 in the first quarter only to fade due to the travel and time difference (kickoff was around midnight EST) along with Hawaii's punt returner Chad Owens going fucking ballistic. The next year, Sparty stomped them 42-14 in East Lansing when Sparty was a 5-6 team.

Hawaii last season went 1-5 on the road (only win was at San Jose State) and finished 4-9 overall, and they are going to The Shoe to face potentially one of Ohio State's greatest teams ever. One word: Medieval.

Glad you stuck around, g-money. This is odd, however, because I was just about to post about Hawaii being the new Island of Alabama.

I want to see our guys play as if there's an SEC monkey to get off their backs this weekend. None of this "we're going to breeze through them!" mentality.

I would rather have them thinking that Hawaii is the last team in our way before the National Championship. Go for the jugular!

Stay hungry, my friends. And by friends, I mean the diabolical-Bosa-demon inside all of you.
