Def was PI, but surprised it was called at that point.
Can see Saban at Press Conference if the Tide loses - "I think for safety's sake of the higher ranked teams, bowl games with two teams wearing red should be held at the home stadium of the higher ranked team."
Yep, but is never called. You don't let a game be decided by a penalty bad form and shifty officiating crew.
AJ, you dropped that one right in the Lumber Yard buddy. Roll Tide Roll.
The game was lost when Alabama would not commit to the run in the mid-late 3rd and early 4th quarter. AJ McCarron is not going to win you a football game. I am amazed at how dumb some of these coaches are during a game.
Defense is deceased in the college game. I miss QB sacks.
They should have played their big back the whole game. Playing Yeldon has killed them this year. His 5 fumbles have really hurt them. It's just like what Todd Blackledge said, you have to go to the guy with the hot hand. He only got 8 rushes but had 100 yards. He was killing them. He reminds me a lot of Anthony Dixon. Big back hard to bring down and can run.
You get it. It's what I was calling for the whole game. EVERY TIME he touched the ball, something good happened.Quote:

Fellas, it looked to me like "the Dark Lord" and "heir apparent" got bitch slapped by the Stoops boys, from a coaching standpoint..... and did y'all see the "red headed jumping idiot"? He was still jumping around holding up four when it was apparent Bama was gonna lose...
So now everybody can question, how good was bama really this season. How good was our showing verse them? Or were they just over rated most of the year? That is why you root for your conference, now our game against them isn't as impressive.
Um, get what you think you are saying, but I am not losing sleep over how even the most dedicated media types interpret one of our losses. They don't care about "good" losses for 7-6 teams. For the record I hoped Bama would win for some in my family. I will never cheer for Auburn, ever.Quote:

As a Dawg living in Alabama, there is no one who enjoys seeing Bama fans sslapped down a notch or two on the arrogance scale, but I also have to agree with those who say that having top SEC teams win NC's and bowl games helps the entire conference. A rising tide (no pun intended) raises all boats. Face it- there are alot of recruits throughout the country who understand that the SEC is the best conference and who want to play for the best or, at the least, against the best. There are alot of players in the SEC right now who would have loved to be offered by the Bama's and LSU's but are instead playing for the MSU's, OM's, SC's, Arky's, etc. because they recognize the superiority of the conference and want to be part of a program competing at the highest level. We're not going to get many players that Bama really wants, but we can get alot of good players who wanted Bama but who Bama just didn't have room for. So I'm for all SEC schools (except TSUN) when playing OOC because I'm convinced it serves to enrichen the talent pool for all conference schools. JMO.
