^11^ alabama @ ^16^ Tennessee - The Third Saturday in October

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Are the cigars a Smoky/Great Smoky Mountains thing? If so, I get it, but there is nothing quite so eye-rollingly bougie as 20-year-olds lighting up a stogie in a golf-shirt. 🀣

GG, Vols. Y'all are uglying your way to a good year.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Saturday_in_October#Victory_cigars

In the 1950s, Jim Goostree, the head athletic trainer for Alabama, began another tradition as he began handing out cigars following a victory over the Volunteers.[10] Both teams continued the tradition for some time, though kept it secret due to NCAA rules concerning extra benefits and tobacco products. Alabama publicly restarted the tradition in 2005, though as a result, self-reported an NCAA violation.[11] Every year since 2007, the winner of the Alabama–Tennessee game knowingly violates the NCAA rule and reports the violation in honor of tradition.[12]

Edit: lmao they've already updated the 2024 results

Ahh, there we go. I should have known that an eye-rollingly bougie CFB tradition would have started at Bama. 🀣

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

Bama's defense is the softer of the two and tends to give up yards and points. I don't know why Vol's O just hasn't gotten untracked here.

Third Saturday in October make a field goal challenge - difficulty: Impossible

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

LETS FUCKING GO, YOUR LITTLE PISSBABY ANTI TEMPO BULLSHIT CAN'T STOP THE HEUP TRAIN BABYEEEEEEEEEE

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Not sure I disagree with Bama having gone for this. You need a three and out either way, it's just that you're likely down 7 instead of 4 if you pull it off. OT/2pt is arguably a small price to pay for one more play where you control your destiny.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hadn't really thought about it that way, but you're honestly right. I guess I'm still hoping that we break one and make it an 11 point game

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Interception is close enough? LOL

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Dog we better spend literally the entire off week doing nothing but throwing full speed bombs

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I STILL DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THE WHOLE STATE OF ALABAMA

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Is this the ugliest top 15 matchup of all time?

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

You forgot SEC games from 10 years ago, or the Big10 from not long ago? Running and defense all day games? Yea.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah but those were low scoring by design, this is just...

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah Pearce got away with one there

Agreed. Close to the end of the game so it has some influence, but there is still enough time on the clock that Alabama still gets another drive as we are seeing now

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I like aggressive play calling, but that was BONKERS

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

THAT WAS FUCKING SHORT

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

Milroe's design runs just don't work. I don't know why they keep running it. It's always telegraphed.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

LET'S FUCKING GO BOYS I NEVER DOUBTED YOU

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I was just thinking it was about time for Milroe to make a red zone mistake, lol

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

Milroe is about 4 years away from being a good passer.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I say go for it Josh, 2 yards for the ballgame
