My name is Yellow Hammer. I'm a member of the Alabama team site, an Alabama graduate, and die hard Bama football fan. It's getting close to game day, so, I thought I'd stop by and see if you all wanted to ask me ?s about Alabama or Georgia(I have great knowledge of both as I live in Georgia and follow all things SEC), and possibly allow me to ask you all a few ?s about Oklahoma. Anybody interested? Fire away...
Hey guys and gals...
- Thread starter YellowHammer1786
- Start date
Are we going to see more of that SEC speed like we did in the 2014 Sugar and 2017 Sugar?
To be honest with you, Jawja isn't overly fast. They are more power than speed. Oh and just so you guys know, I'll be screaming Boomer Sooner half the day on the 1st!
@iasooner1 any ?s you have? I can tell you one thing...UGA will try to run and make plays on the perimeter to open up the power run and play action pass. If you guys stop the perimeter game on 1st down, and get them in 3rd and long, you will run away with this game. Jake Fromm WILL NOT beat you with his arm like Baker can.
Thanks Hammer...hope you wipe that idiot grin off Dabo's face in Sugar Bowl. I hope the injury factor does not dig in too deep for Bama. The Dawgs are beatable.
Good luck against Clem. Either beat them or pound them real good to get them ready for us to open a can on them after we dispatch GA
The injuries we've had to overcome this season have been insane. We won't have our starting MLB Shaun Deion-Hamilton, our backup MLB Dillon Moses, or our dime back Hootie Jones. Other than that, this will be the healthiest Alabama team to play since our first game against FSU.
This is the healthiest Sooners have been in probably 10 years through the season. We lost our starting CB and starting slot receiver but otherwise major injury free...not to jinx things.
That's good. I can't stand Kirby Smart and UGA, so I'm hoping a healthy Oklahoma will be more than they can handle.
How come you don't like the kirbster? He did 'Bama a great job for a long time. Just curious. And, thanks for stopping by to chat with us.

@YellowHammer1786 Got another question for you. We have heard Alabama fans are very concerned about the OU offense. Any truth to that? Also what about Clemson gives you the most concerns? Are you and your fan base confident? Thanks
He was pretty snake-ey for lack if a better term when leaving Bama. He promised Saban he wouldn't go after any of our assistants or players, and he did both. He also really heavily uses negative recruiting tactics.
Speaking for myself and others, I'd rather play Clemson and UGA any day. If you look at the formula for beating Bama under Saban, Oklahoma is that now. An athletic QB, that moves not to scramble, but to create. A&M had Manzel, Auburn had Cam and Nick Marshall, and Ole Miss played the same game plan. We are confident in our ability to beat Clemson and UGA, but a shootout with Oklahoma isn't where we want to be. Against OU, we would have to sustain long drives, convert 3rd downs, and control the clock and tempo of the game. As far as biggest concern against Clemson, it's their NFL defensive line, followed closely by Hunter Renfroe.
Hey be sure to tell the folks on your VIP board that this thread is here so we can have more people join in the conversation.
After the Sooners win the Rose, I will sit back and root on the Tide. Just like my handle, it will be Okla - Bama playing for the natty. Bama will take the consolation trophy back home. OU will bring the College Football Playoff National Championship Trophy to Norman. Boomer Sooner!
YellowHammer, my kinfolks are telling me that Alabama is healthy again. What say you?
This is the healthiest Bama team the nation will see all year. We will miss Shaun Deion-Hamilton at ILB, but his back up is more talented. Hamilton was our field general though. Also dime safety Hootie Jones is out, but again his back up is an upgrade talent wise, just lacks big game experience. I think this is setting up to be a Bama vs Oklahoma NC.
The kid that's filling in at safety is the son of a friend of mine. Deionte Thompson. Remember that name. Kid is incredible.
Let's hope it's less speed than OU saw in the 2004 Sugar Bowl, 2009 National Title game, and 2013 Cotton Bowl.
Hahahahaha. UGA's MLB is calling himself a pitbull. He says he will be all over Mayfield. Smh.
