Iron Bowl, et al

Sorry I have not gotten back to my predictions, nor recap them. I have been fairly busy lately. I was sick, went on a campout, and have been trying to catch up school. I did not do so well on my latest predictions. I picked AU over UGA (but then again I'm biased and can't help it). I predicted UAT over MSU (and would have over LA MONROE!!!). I predicted Ohio St. over Illinois. I missed other games as well. But hey, I said Ohio St. was destined for a loss. I predicted MSU to give UAT a good game- and that they did. I got some of my games right, and in this year, getting over 50% is not real easy. I did have a hunch that La Monroe (La Monroe!!), would give UAT a scare...but a WIN??? You don't know- and that is something I have been saying for a while.

But what about the Iron Bowl?? I am biased, I admit, and I will pick AU. But I do not think that this will be easy, and I will not be surprised if UAT wins. It really depends on a few things: The coaching (could go either way, unpredictable), the quarterbacks (once again, defintely unpredictable), and the turnovers (which is based largely on the unpredictable quarterbacks and coaches. The winner of the turnover game may be the team with the best QB (in terms of least turnovers). And the team with the best QB may be the best coached team for Saturday. UAT could have been Saving (or Saban) up for AU as perhaps they did to UT, but there is a certain amount of talent level that must be present as well which is absolute for all games- and it doesn't take much talent at the level of UAT to beat a team like...say...LA MONROE!! But then again, just a few weeks ago, UAT was on top of their game it seemed. AU started slow, began looking strong, and then kind of went good but dry, and then got whipped against UGA. Could Tubberville had been distracted by TAM offers (if there were any)? He said that "That ain't got nothing to do with it," implying it must have something to do with it, because it doesn't has nothing to do with it.

Anyway, I don't have much time to write these things...so forgive this rambling on, and lack of writing skills. I just wanted to get back before the Iron Bowl game this Saturday. Oh yeah, Happy Thanksgiving!
