Final takeaway from the game…Saban has still not figured out how to stop the hurry up Offense. Ole Piss, Aubie take heart. A&M had 630 yards of offense, 464 thru the air. And this offense is still not playing all the blue chips heading into College Station.
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 18:23
Two big differences from last year. First, last year A&M had veterans Spencer Nealy, DeMontre Moore and Sean Porter and they did very well against the Bama run game. Also last year A&M had no turnovers and won the turnover battle. Here they had two costly ones. One in the red zone and one returned for a TD. Bama is too good a team to lose the turnover battle against. That was basically the ball game. Bama leaves College Station with a 49-42 win.
I can live with a close loss…A blowout would have been costly. But A&M’s offense cannot be counted out as Ole Miss found out last year. Still 9 more games to go…and this Bama team has shown some vulnerabilities. Oregon is likely looking forward to a chance at Bama. Oregon fans were calling for Bama when they blew out Tennessee earlier today.
All for today…signing out.
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 18:18
42 points allowed the most allowed by a Saban Alabama team.
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 18:17
Bama recovers the onside kick…that will be the ball game.
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 18:13
Wow…Manziel avoids a sack for a deep ball down inside the five. 22 seconds left.
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 18:13
A&M dinking and dunking down the field but game is essentially over.
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 18:01
Bama at the 10 under 3 minutes..clock a factor
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 17:58
Crap…deep pass over the middle. Bama in scoring position.
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 17:56
Bama trying to pound the ball…A&M defense needs to show up.
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 17:53
Pleas just give Mike Evans the Biletnikoff Award
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 17:51
We may lose today, but this game may get Johnny Manziel the heisman again.
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 17:50
WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOO
Manziel to Evans for a 95 yard TD 7 point game
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 17:45
WOW!!! Yeldon fumbled the ball AGAIN this year. Do I dare believe…A&M forces a turnover on the goal line
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 17:42
Bama gets a free 15 yards from a bull shit rule about a defensive player having to stop after losing his helmet.
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 17:40
Dammit A&M…if you crowd the line you have to stop the run. Yeldon runs for a 1st down.
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 17:31
A&M starts on offense…and a horsecollar by Bama gives them free 15 yards.
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 17:29
Fourth quarter coming up….Here is the gif of the Eli Manning like play by Manziel before he threw his first pick
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 17:15
And TD Bama…the wretched crew of the last few years is back in full force
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 17:09
Could the commentators please stop calling a QB who plays A&M defense “clutch”
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 17:04
TD A&M Manziel to Kennedy..35-21. Defense still has to show up.
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 17:04
Well…A&M is back in the redzone…lets see f they capitalize. They seem to have remembered they have running backs.
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 16:50
Now should I be a masochist and continue blogging or say f*** it?
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 16:48
Double crap…tipped ball returned for a TD. Game over
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 16:46
Maybe not…McCarron misses an open WR and three and out.
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 16:44
Third and long coming up…Bama has A&M right where it wants it.
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 16:44
Bama back on offense..another TD drive coming up.
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 16:37
That game started perfectly…but A&M has not come close to stopping the Bammers since the first drive. Now the floodgates are open and my worst fears are opening up. Could be a long half.
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 16:20
Should be 35-14 Bammers soon unless A&M locates a defense at half time. Brenham is only 30 minutes away…surely Blinn’s defense will not be this bad.
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 16:12
The questionable Bama OL is dominating the A&M DL..Bama gets the ball back after the half so this could be a 3 TD hole before A&M gets on the field on offense. TD Bama
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 16:09
Third down coming up..not that it has mattered since the first drive.
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 16:05
Bama now running the ball down the throat…Snyder needs to adjust.
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 16:02
Bama has started to close off the A&M passing game…have a chance to flip the script and go two TDs up.
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 15:58
Targeting call overturned, but A&M still gets a free 15 yards.
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 15:56
Wow…another bullshit targeting call for they year. Even if it is on a bammer, that should not be targeting. The defender was going for the ball rather than the targeting.
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 15:50
Honeycutt continues his season of sucking misses a tackle and A&M is torched fore a long TD 21-14 Bama
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 15:40
Oh my goodness what the frack was that…Wow!! Manziel gets away from a sure sack…then gets a jumpball down the field for a 45 yard pass to get a 12 yard gain
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 15:35
Aggies need to answer. Start with a run to Malena and a pass to former walk-on Labhart…flag on Bama should get another first down.
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 15:31
DeShazor Everett is being torched by Bama this game
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 15:30
The A&M blitz packages are simply not working. A&M gets torched on a flea flicker 14-14 Bammers.
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 15:23
Wide open..and you guessed it on the right..First down
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 15:22
Two bad passes by McCarron, though A&M has no pressure on him so far.
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 15:20
First A&M punt of the game from midfield…Bammers start at the 20.
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 15:19
A pass interference call on Evans has A&M backed up at 3rd and 26..
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 15:14
Great play by Evans to come back on 3rd and 2 big play by A&M to get to mid field
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 15:12
Gah..Brandon Williams bobbles it out at the two on the kickoff. Manziel starts backed up.
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 15:10
Bama had some thing going on the right side of the field…Will be interesting to see if A&M adjusts
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 15:08
TD Bama..14-7 on the right sideline…Satan back in business
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 15:07
Bammers have something going here…4 straight first downs…in FG range
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 15:06
Bama slowly passing the ball down the sidelines…trying to calm the offense down
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 15:03
So far there has been no Ricky Seal Jones in the game..that will be a deadly mismatch
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 15:03
Bama was oddly conservative in the last drive…I expect they will throw downfield more this time. Last year they had an INT on the second drive.
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 15:01
Malena for a TD Aggies strike again…WHOOOP!!!! Bertolet gets another XP 14-0 Aggies
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 14:59
A&M starts with good field position.two quick runs by Johnny and another quick pass to Evans…A&M at the goal line
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 14:54
Bama goes 3 and out like last year…very oddly conservative set of playcalls
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 14:53
The Bama OL with two false starts in a row…Kyle Field is rocking
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 14:51
Now moment of truth for the Aggie defense. Good special teams tackle to bring down Christian Jones.
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 14:48
A&M starts with a Johnny run and a deep pass to Evans…..and back with another jumball to Evans..Aggies exploiting height advantage…and Johnny with a TD to Cam Clear in the first Aggie reception for the Juco TE…WHOOOOPPPPP!!! Aggies 7-0
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 14:43
And we are off…Johnny Football on the field.
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 14:39
A&M wins the toss….and to receive…butterflys rising fast.
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 14:36
Aha…a live feed on the internet. We may be in business.
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 14:35
Dammit…CBS in Baltimore still showing Pitt-NMSU….Grrrrr….
Sat, 14 Sep 2013 14:27
The A&M-Bama rematch is finally here…nervous butterflies are setting in. Nick Satan has an impressive record in revenge matches. Texas A&M in the last 20 years has a painful record of wilting in the spotlight. Time will tell whether Coach Sumlin and Johnny Football have changed the legacy of underachievement in College Station. A&M’s defense is finally at full strength with all the suspended players back. Bama’s offense was lousy against Virginia Tech’s stout defense.
CBS is still showing the Pitt blowout, hopefully they will move the game over when it is time.
Time for some football.
Sat, 10 Nov 2012 18:23
For the last time this night SCOOOOOOOOOBBYY DOOOOOOOOOO For those who are wondering what this is about see here. Need to party.
Sat, 10 Nov 2012 17:47
Beautiful deep pass by Manziel to Swope…and Then TD A&M to Malcom Kennedy..A&M goes for the kill
Sat, 10 Nov 2012 17:28
3 & out Bama after 3 passes and 1 completion…am puzzled why they are not pounding the ball. Johnny Football time.
Sat, 10 Nov 2012 17:21
Crap…A&M relies on Bertolet…and he somehow makes it….still up 6. Now defense has to step up.
Sat, 10 Nov 2012 17:16
A&M trying to pick on Fulton using the bigger Evans…but he finally breaks one up. False start forces 3rd and 9 but Johnny Football runs for the 1st down (favorable spot). A&M at the 10 after a quick run by Malena….A&M heads into the 4th knocking on the door and still somehow up 3…Do I dare believe?
Sat, 10 Nov 2012 17:12
A bit stunned to see Bama’s D wearing down before A&M. Need some Trey Williams speed here to take advantage.
Sat, 10 Nov 2012 17:11
Substitution confusion for Bama forced to take a time out. They are subbing along with A&M to slow the pace down, but have to think that all that running will tire them down.
Sat, 10 Nov 2012 17:10
A&m moving the ball this drive…three physical catches by Evans on this drive. Swopes has been silent for a while…and there is a short screen to him on cue.
Sat, 10 Nov 2012 17:01
A&M is selling out to stop the run…Bama forced to go for FG…and barely in. 3 point game.
Sat, 10 Nov 2012 16:59
That will hurt…huge conversion by Bama on third down to the RB…A&M defense on its heels.
Sat, 10 Nov 2012 16:50
WTF…referee made the tackle there…nice to see they call holding on at least one team.
Sat, 10 Nov 2012 16:48
Ticky tack call by refs…the same geniuses who missed the hold call on the last play.
Sat, 10 Nov 2012 16:44
Bama is going to just pound the rock here….not sure why Bama has not used more play action here….nice defense by A&M…3rd down…there should have been a hold call on that play…3 and out Bama
Sat, 10 Nov 2012 16:39
A&M gets the ball to start the half. One thing I am very happy about Sumlin is that they are not scared by Alabama’s defense.
Sat, 10 Nov 2012 16:18
A&M takes the knee goes into the half up six…Shades of LSU…A&M up early byt Bama coming back. A&M gets the ball to start the half. New thread here.
Sat, 10 Nov 2012 16:03
And the wretched crew is back…did not think A&M’s defense would hold up, but this is too early.
Sat, 10 Nov 2012 16:00
A TD by Bama and they are right back in this game…enough time for them to pound the ball down the field.
Sat, 10 Nov 2012 15:50
A&M starts deep after a penalty on the return. Bama crowd alive after the TD.
Sat, 10 Nov 2012 15:44
Bama knocking on the door…and there is the physical TD. Bama run game finally alive.
Sat, 10 Nov 2012 15:42
Bad tackling by A&M…Bama going to go on 4th and 4…and they get a favorable spot from the refs..first down.
Sat, 10 Nov 2012 15:40
Bama has essentially abandoned the pass…seems to be working this drive…play action coming soon.
Sat, 10 Nov 2012 15:39
Bama finally converts its first 3rd down. Fast start by A&M but this game is not over yet. Bama can still run the ball at an undersized A&M…I think they score here.
Sat, 10 Nov 2012 15:33
The fast A&M start is why Saban was bitching about the no huddle. Bama’s complicated defense struggles when they cannot get calls in.
Sat, 10 Nov 2012 15:27
Wait knee was down…so Bama gets a break….refs trying to held Bama…that was a TD
Sat, 10 Nov 2012 15:24
There goes Johnny Football on the ground…..1st down A&M. The Sumlin offense is the first A&M team in the last year that gets the screen play working….and once again Manziel turns a sack to positive yards…Another quick pass and A&M back in red zone…Now A&M is getting the run up the middle going….some really bad tackling by Bama defense….TD A&M 21-0..Dang!!!!
Sat, 10 Nov 2012 15:15
Two quick passes out of the open back. Cannot forget the run game. Bama forced to call time out.
Sat, 10 Nov 2012 15:13
10 years ago Texas A&M upset a #1 team behind the heroics of a Freshman QB…and Kevin Sumlin was OC back then…
Sat, 10 Nov 2012 15:06
How the heck did he do that…TD pass by Johnny Football after almost fumbling the ball…Scoooby Dooooooo 14-0 Ags
Sat, 10 Nov 2012 15:04
Great fake option pass…Aggies in the red zone. Michael needs to stop carrying the ball loose…and stop dancing around.
Sat, 10 Nov 2012 15:00
And there is the Bama rushing game…should set up the play action nicely….A&M gets McCarron’s first INT of the year. Aggies here to play.
Sat, 10 Nov 2012 14:54
TD A&M 10th game this season A&M scores first….and Bertolet gets the XP (Whew) 7-0 Ags
Sat, 10 Nov 2012 14:52
And there is why Manziel is dangerous..gashes Bama up the middle. A&M in the redzone.
Sat, 10 Nov 2012 14:51
A&M offensive coordinator Kingsbury starting the damn QB draw again….I don’t like this…yet facemask foul on Bama
Sat, 10 Nov 2012 14:49
Bama on offense. Tide probably wants to make a statement against an undersized A&M DL….but so far so good. 3rd and 8 coming up….Whew…3 & out…Johnny Football time coming up.
Sat, 10 Nov 2012 14:46
Game time is almost here. Have to admit I am very nervous. Way too much hype building around a team that still has a lot to prove. Johnny Football mania is building up, but the kid has a lot to prove. Nick Satan is the best coach in the business and has had a week to prepare and deflate A&M. The Tide OL will look to wear out A&M.
“[N]o religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.” Article VI of the United States Constitution
The text of the constitution does not help with the realities of Republican Party politics today, as Alabama Republican gubernatorial candidate Bradley Byrne found out. In a desperate kowtow to the faithful and to stop attacks by his opponents, Mr. Byrne clarified the following “heretical” quote: “”I believe there are parts of the Bible that are meant to be literally true and parts that are not.”
Also submitting to the wrath of the faithful was grocery chain Piggly Wiggly, which felt the backlash from anonymous Internet posters like the following quote in the article linked above: “”Just got a call from a person at my Church letting me know about this. My family will not be shopping at Ragland Piggly Wiggly stores anymore or anything else they own…. I don’t shop at places that think it is OK to stand next to people who don’t believe the Bible is all true.”
As noted earlier, this is another example of the just how far the theocrats control the conservative movement and the Republican Party. This does not happen merely in Alabama. For all the complaints about the assault on Christianity by people like Britt Hume, can you even imagine the furore if a President today emulated John Quincy Adams and took his oath of office on a book of American laws?
The theology is suspect too. See previous post on the three kings of the nativity here as an example.
