Today, in entitled

Kirby, don’t say Erik Evans hasn’t warned you.

I’m feeling remarkably upbeat about today. I think it’s because I have zero expectations for today, and have essentially written off this game since late September (admit it, you did too). But despite some unsteady contests, where the offense shows up one week, and the defense the next, this team has made it to 11-1 and has claimed its division.

There is literally no pressure on the Tide here. But there has been months of disregard, disrespect, and the Tide rightly enters as a rare underdog.

But should they be? Given the schedule that they played vs. that of Georgia? The advanced stats don’t see it that way — and Kirby knows those numbers as well as anyone. For all of the ballyhoo surrounding the ‘Dawgs, and all of the negging of the Crimson Tide, this game is very much a tossup.

That could be why it looks like you couldn’t drive a greased needle up his butt with a tin of Crisco and a sledgehammer.

No pressure, Bulldogs. No pressure.

Yes, the poor ol’ Tide, having faced months of disregard and disrespect.  I mean, just look at the polls and rankings, where Alabama is *** checks notes *** ranked in the top four of all three.  If that isn’t classic bulletin board material, I don’t know what is.

If there is literally no pressure on ‘Bama, that’s only because they’re sure if they play a close game and lose today they’ll still be in the CFP field.  That’s gotta be rough, Erik.
