Running preseason 2010 college football thread

Cool. Gotcha. Thanks. Were you ever? I must have been mistaken because of a discussion on here years ago.

 

Yes, I was. For about 10 years. Got out before they kicked me out.

 

Alabama, with all those big, skilled-in-technique and battle-tested linemen, has to be considered the favorite to win it all. They've lost very little from the title team of 2009.
That said, the '09 team did indeed find themselves almost losing to Tennessee in the closing seconds.
The season, like all the others, will be unpredictable.

 

Four Bama starters on defense went in the first two rounds of the draft, plus Arenas was an exceptional return man, so I'd say they lost more than a little. That said, Lord Saban's squad is still probably the team to beat.

 

Bama lost 3/4 of the secondary and the kicking game is entirely unproven. If the true freshman punter coming in can't deliver, there is nobdy else who could even cover first down yardage with a punt.

 

Who needs a punter? [/florida-era steve spurrier]

 

But Mandel is right. It's pretty Machivellian move by Nutt. But can you blame him?

 

Another football season while not living in Alabama. Life is fucking good!!

 

haha. They're there, too. We saw it with our own two eyes.

 

Alabama starts at #1.

I'm a homer, sure, but I do think Mizzou's gonna sneak up on some people, start 5-0, and finish about 9-3 and go to the Holiday Bowl.
