		<description>I just work with Maddux on this blog, and I write in other places, too. 

Don&#039;t worry too much about my issues with the Tide. Over the course of the year I&#039;ll likely make fans of most teams mad at some point - it goes with the territory. 

And yes, I think Nick Saban is the worst kind of scum, but I&#039;d have basically the same opinion of this team whether he was there or not. I really admire Mark Richt, yet I have been very hard on his team all year.

Thanks for reading my stuff.</description>

		<description>T.O:

Now you show up on another website blasting the Tide.  What&#039;s up with that, and why another site?  Are you an independent writer or do you have something to actually do with Maddux?  

If you personally don&#039;t like Nick Saban, just admit it.</description>

		<description>Kentucky only hit 3 big plays the whole game. I agree with Alabama&#039;s passing game.  It looks like we only looked at Julio and no where else.  That will change with the bye week.  

The penalties were a bit ridiculous, and the CBS television time outs were out of hand.  I don&#039;t know what can be done about that, but it seemed like every time there was a change of possession they went to a long commercial break.  I thought ESPN time outs were long, they don&#039;t even compare to CBS.  It breaks any momentum you might have.

The game started a 2:30 PM and went past 6:00 PM without overtime.  I know television drives college football, but the fans at the game are getting screwed.  I think it is about time the fans get a break in the cost of going to the games.  If they are getting so much money from television why can&#039;t the fans get some sort of discount ticketing?  You throw in the price of gas, concessions (I have gotten where I don&#039;t buy anything), and tailgating it is a very expensive day.  Just had to get that off my chest.</description>

		<description>Al,

I agree that Alabama was generally better overall. My concern still stands, though. Coming in, I thought that Bama should have been significantly better. The penalties and the lack of a passing game were, in large part, because Kentucy looked Alabama in the eye and didn&#039;t blink. Since Alabama got out to the huge lead against Georgia they haven&#039;t had the swagger they had to get out to that lead in the first place, and that&#039;s a concern. I give Kentucky credit for making that happen. As for the other side of the ball, I think that UK was able to pass more than they should have been able to, and were able to get yards when they needed them. I expected much more from the Tide, and I give Kentucky credit for that.</description>

		<description>I can agree with your last statement that Alabama will not  finish in the top 5, but to make that assumption based on Kentucky setting the tone on both sides of the ball is just not true.  Here comes my crimson colored glasses, but that is what makes college football so much fun.

Rushing totals   UK- 35 yards
                       UA- 282 yards

Passing totals   UK- 241 yards
                      UA- 106 yards

Total yards       UK- 276 yards
                      UA- 388 yards

Time of Poss    UK- 24:14 minutes
                      UA- 35:45 minutes

You throw in two missed field goals, 92 yards of penalties, and 2 lost fumbles you get a close score.

Where is the domination on both sides of the ball?</description>
