You have to use the voice of your typical Finebaum caller. It's "Raw Tahd". It's also the most annoying sound in the world. With apologies to "Dumb And Dumber".

And I couldn't cheer for the Gumps even if they were playing the North Koreans.

Alabama is conflicted on sending a child predator to congress over a decent human being that happens to not be a republican. Not a chance anyone should cheer for this state to be happy.

lets root for the alabummers to win the championship! Ok, i cant believe i just said that :sick: But hear me out a bit.

I get those of you who are pissed about our new head coach, remaining with the alabummers through the playoffs. You question his loyalty to us, especially since his background is as a homer for bama. And i know this year its different too because of early recruiting.

But i think you are looking at this all wrong, especially for the longer term.

First, no matter what, recruiting this year is going to be tough. You have the haslams and our corrupt, inept administration to thank for that. That said, pruitt has been the #1 recruiter in the country for multiple years, so if anyone can turn it around, he can. You can say, its not as easy as recruiting at fsu, ga or bummer but pruitt was #1 recruiter at all 3 programs. I think i will trust him just a bit. Also, dont you think recruits he contacts are going to want to talk to a guy who is (was just) in the playoffs? Talk about street cred.

Second, i think it helps with recruiting longer term because guys know that he would not leave them in the lurch. I think that he is willing to stay and not just dart off to his next gig says a lot to the guys who will want to play for him (and their parents).

Last, over the near term, the younger guys coming up will look at how many rings this guy has won. You can say "but he was not hc" all you want but kids are going to see rings. Sadly, we are not even in a bowl game and whether bamma wins another nc or not will not have a major difference on their program. But you cant tell me that pruitt having another nc ring (even from bamma) wont help with his recruiting over the next 2-3 years as we build our program. Guys will listen because they know he is a winner, not just full of slogans.

In 2-3 years perhaps we can be competing for our own nc rings and his record elsewhere will matter much less. But for now, i think it does and why i will root for bama to win this - surely moreso than ga who we do not need to get any stronger, clemson too for that matter. Okies are the only ones who are far enough away to recruit well away from our wheelhouse.

I want our new coach to be in the best position to build us into a monster that will destroy his old team. And to do that, for now, for this one day, i can hope they win a shutout.

I’m picking a higher closer scored game. 38-30 Clemson. Will it be close to that or lower?? All depends on which Bama shows up. The one that got ran up and down the field at Auburn or the one that came out on all cylinders against high school teams (FCS). A lot on here want a Bama NC because it helps our recruiting but I can’t stand the thought of yet another bammer title reign....Saban ain’t getting younger. He has maybe 1 or 2 title runs left after this season and he’s probably done....soon they will start having 2 maybe 3 loss seasons; if it gets to that point the pressure for him to resign will start amping up...

Being that Pruitt has, for the most part, put together one of the best recruiting staffs in the country, if he can win 7-8 games next year, I believe the floodgates will open as far as future talent is concerned. That would be a good showing, development wise, especially if our current players have a noticeable turnaround on the field. A 7-8 win season next season would be a big win for the long term

I couldn’t care less who wins. I’d love to see Alabama put up some defensive points. Like a safety or two would be ideal.

Can we at least wait till he signs a class or two before saying they are the best recruiting staff in America?

Still hoping Coach Pruitt wins today. Wish there was a way he could win and still bama lose. Hoping for GA to lose today too.

At least I am hopeful we will be getting some positive coverage on our program whenever they talk about Alabubba Defense. Go Pruitt!

They will mention it once, if even that many times.

They are going to talk about ALABAMA. You guys are freaking delusional if you think UT is going to get any significant publicity today.

*EDIT*

Yea, I got on my flame retardant suit. I want them to win Bamma 3, OK - 0. Major Defensive game. Cant see why all of you are Clemson fans. :bammer:
