We Lose!
I frankly disagree. But I am curious. How do you think this team will play? At the end of the season these guys were in the tank. Every second half was torturous to watch (or hear about… stupid ISU game). Then the Buffs got a week off and all of a sudden were a second half team again, scoring 35 straight points against NU thanks in large part to a resurgent defense and special teams.
My prediction? Hawk can coach with the best of them, and Bama won’t be nearly as pumped up for this game as the Buffs. Despite the away game aspect, I think CU puts on an a bit of an offensive show and wins by a touchdown, 35 to 28. Lets see what that running game can do!

If we were in the tank then ‘Bama is buried somewhere beneath the tank. From what I’ve read the seniors have basically quit on Coach Saban. I don’t know if our offense will be explosive, but our D should shut them down. I think we win, or I know we will win if you believe my confidence rating in the pick ‘em pool, but I think it’s a little lower scoring.

Didnt Okie State beat ‘em up last year? Didnt Iowa State barely lose to Bama by a late second field goal in ’02? I bet Saban knows the heat is on, so he will bring the “A” game. Bama’s offense sucks but the game is being played in the South, but most importantly is the “GEE WHIZ” factor for the Buffs. They are just happy to be there, let alone win it. Not good for mental preparedness.
I predict a slow start, with Bama taking a 21 pt. lead, then the Buffs claw back for a last second gasp to win…..a Patrick Williams dropped pass in the endzone. 28-24 Bama

Then of course, we can always watch the Huskers bowl game too!

I like the “enthusiasm” Kid…
Ever think that sarcasm and cynicism can be taken a bit to far?

Based on past results Skye, Thats all. Had he hauled in that TD pass vs. ASU, I might have hope for Patrick. I am sure he is nice guy.Enthusiasm? Didnt you read my glowing comments on the recruits? Don’t get me wrong, this could be a great game, Its coming from behind that I don’t like. Plus the crowd will be 90% pro Bama. However, the underdog mentality may prevail for the Buffs. Mental Preparedness will be key.
