BAMA on it's way to another National Championship
 
Football is finally here!

And I'm sure all of you know that Bama will be repeating as National Champions
this year. If you're unsure, just watch how they pound that pretend team from
Penn State tonight on ESPN.

Say it with me...
ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!

You need to post a picture of you in it!


JWS - Kentucky who?

Duke are you ready???

Forecast calls for PAIN.

ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!

I like the Over in Alabama/Duke, which is currently at 58.

Alabama is favored by 24- which is a lot for any team, on the road, versus another team that has shown they can put up points. Shouldn't be a problem, but it will be interesting to see how Ingram looks on Saturday.

But, yeah, play the over.

Teaser bets are for succers... but you could tease the Alabama point spread down
and raise the over. With a healthy Ingram there will be plenty of the running game
from Bama. So the total might not be as high as that. Plus Bama has class and they
usually don't run the score up.

Bama 34 Duke 3.

Alabama may have class, but Nick Saban doesn't.

(58 points at halftime. I still got it :thumbsup: )

You got your points by halftime!

And believe it or not I agree with
you about Saban. I didn't like him
with the Dolphins. But he knows how
to win at the college level.

LukeA is buying everyone a round.

Sooooo,

Did Alabama sweep them off their feet?

I can't believe there are other bama fans here. I have lots of cool memorabilia from work, I have been one of their 2 team eye doctors for 5 years now.

This thread will not die.

Why don't they just go ahead and hand us
the National Championship Trophy???

It is ours...

Nikolaj 09-24-2010 09:58 PM

Learning. American sports and I. Not acquainted. Nor were Czech sports and I. I can't remember if there were any sports in Prague. I don't remember any.
So, Bamas is the Alabama football team? The Alabama Bamas? Is that right?*
I'm not kidding.
Have heard of The Dallas Cowboys. Maybe one or two others.
So The Alabama Bamas are having a good year, then? I'm happy for them, and for those of you in this thread!

*no, that can't be right. What's the name of the Alabama football team?

OK, I would take that advice, it sounds informed! Play the over.
Can one also play 'the under'? Play 'the sideways'?
Does the 'over' have anything to do with being in overtime?
My GUESS is that 'playing the over' might mean betting on the team who is not favored and have been 'given points' in their odds to win the game?
No?
Well, obviously I need to lay low if at all in this thread, though maybe I can learn a little bit before I turn 100. "Play the over".... what the hail does that mean??
And yes, after this 2nd message here, I will lurk and leave it to those of you who know what each other is talking about, I promise.

The over, if you bet it you would be betting that the teams combined
score would go over a certain amount set by sweet guys called bookies, or
odds-makers.

Parlay or Teasers is a bet on the total score of both teams and taking
the over or under and then picking a team that has to win by
a certain amount of points set by odds-makers. Note that picking the favored
team you have to lay points. Picking the underdog (not the cartoon) you
recieve points. And since you are really making two bets, you get to tease
the bet by a few points on the total and the getting/giving points line.

Don't forget to figure in the Juice.

And even though I feel I'm being set-up...
Bama is just short for Alabama and
many people just call the football team Bama.
But if you're a yankee you are required to use
the following words at all times when referring
to the greatest college football team of all time.
And those words are...
The Alabama Crimson Tide or
The Crimson Tide Of Alabama.

The way Alabama played they'll be lucky to win the SEC West.

iamnotafraid 09-26-2010 03:18 AM

Was the outcome ever really in doubt?
The #10 pigs put up a good fight, but
it wasn't enough to beat the best team
in the land.

Did the little piggys squeal all the way
home? Well, at least they didn't have
far to go.

"Bama" is just the shortened "Southern" version of "Alabama". The school's nickname is "The Crimson Tide".

The difference this year is that the Huskers WIN their "hiccup" game. And, with UCLA handing the 'Horns, their "rump roast"...look for BIG RED to take, not just the North Division, but the entire Big 12 championship.

i love the way you think:thumbsup:~

I think I'll buy a pair of alligator shoes, size 12 please.
Hunting season begins this Saturday and I can't wait.

Gator meat is so sweet.

Florida never had a chance.

For some reason I crave chicken.

People forget that Saban was a Cajun,
lived by himself in the swamp,
hunted alligators for a living,
he'd just knock 'em in the head with a stump...

Tonight's big game is upon us

GO DOLPHINS!!!

Bayou Bengels you've got to be joking.
This thread is about the National Championship.
And like I said, we're on our way.

iamnotafraid 10-09-2010 02:12 AM

In just a few hours the chicken plucking begins.

Say it with me...

ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!

estranged4life 10-09-2010 03:15 PM

The Tide better wake up...
 
they're currently down 14-3 near the end of the first quarter to the Gamecocks...

Edit: Make it 21-3 in the second quarter

estranged4life 10-09-2010 04:31 PM

That safety...
 
due to the SC QB had to be one of the DUMBEST plays I have seen in years. Gee, just down the ball at the 3 yard line, don't knock it out of the endzone...

If Bama comes back they have the SC QB to thank.

SC 28 Bama 21...Bama is hanging in there.

estranged4life 10-09-2010 05:55 PM

Well...
 
Bama went down...and got beat. It's going to be harder to defend that Championship now.

Um... I guess tonight I'll eat crow instead of chicken.

But don't count us out for the National Championship.

my ONLY consolation is, i root for the gamecocks for college baseball, they won it this year~ but still...

Musicman408 10-10-2010 07:56 AM

Didn't want to say it earlier- but I knew Alabama was NOT going to go undefeated this year, and they're unlikely to win the whole thing...... Although I do have some bias against Bama.... :laugh:

LukeA 10-10-2010 08:59 AM

Tough break. I had South Carolina covering, but not winning.

Oregon or Boise will falter down the stretch, so Alabama just needs to stay strong.
