Alabama Game Thead brought to you by GED.gov

I see why ole miss gives them such trouble. Pass plays have been there all day. We just don't have a QB or receiving crew that can capitalize. A good passing team would have 14-21 points on Bama right now. It'd be a shootout.

I thought you guys were gonna chill today!?!?! We had zero chance to win this game. Sure, I hate that Fitz is choking today and our defense has looked terrible, but I knew it would be bad. Don't let this game get you all worked up!!!!

Bullshit on Ole Miss. I think we have a great chance there especially if we beat Arkansas.

If we play defense like we are today, that's getting hit in the mouth and trying to arm tackle them we will not beat Arkansas.

Cooper Bateman would be a pretty big step down. They'd still be very, very good, but there's a reason why Bateman was 3rd string to start the year

Barnett should have started for them this year. Starting Hurts makes them have some glaring weaknesses on offense that LSU was able to exploit. I think Auburn will also exploit those same weaknesses as well. He is not a pocket passer and if you can make him one dimensional like that you shut Alabama's offense down.

We're fine. They are holding on EVERY PLAY. I challenge you to watch nothing but their OL the rest of this game. We're not going to win anyway. Ole Miss will not get all these noncalls.

This game 10-7 or 10-0 without help from the refs and I'm not one to make such excuses.

Notice I didn't say 10-3 lol. No chance of that.

I realize that they have been stocked the last few years with 4 and 5* players by cheating, but UNM shows no fear when playing bama and has either beaten them or came close the last 4 or so years. This lack of fear and belief that they can not only compete but win extends to their players and coaches. Under Mullen, we never even compete against bama, soon to be 8 years and counting. ULM always has that feeling and effort against us also and we will lose #3 in a row against them under Mullen even with Kelly gone. P.S. bama ball carriers must run 3.8 forties as Bryant can't catch them with his 4.2 speed. Ha!

Ole Miss getting Bama early in the year helps a lot. If they were playing them today, even with Kelly, it would be 30-10 at the half and 62-24 final. Ole Miss would score but only an Ole Miss fan would think they would be competitive with Bama right now.

I'm tired of Bama, cheering for Michigan or Ohio State to wreck them

To be fair, Fitz is getting better about this. He still does it much to often.

He isn't getting better about it at all he is just throwing the ball more accurately. The refusal to stop deciding where he's going pre snap is alive and well. He is refusing the coaching right now. I like Fitz, he's a tough kid, he is super fast and he has a great arm thus why I am so frustrated with him right now because he keeps refusing to listen to the coaching. He's got tons of work to do this off-season. Can we get him one of those virtual reality QB things so he can just watch and read plays for 6 straight months. Please

Sure but I think the holding not called every play will be called on Arkansas thus negating some of the plays you see so far this first half.

Jackie said that you had to be good enough to beat the refs and the other team, we aren't, apparently against many teams this year, (see USA, BYU, and KY, and these games were lost on many plays not made throughout the games, not just the last play).

[Coach007]

Personally very happy that we are seeing major sparks playing a lot of a younger guys. Play calling is on...etc. I look forward to next year!

I think Ole Miss does some things in the way they practice that allows them to operate against Bama. OM runs the hurry up offense, but it's not the actual hurry up offense that get's to Bama, it playing a team that can execute & operate when the game speeds up & chaos ensues, that gets to Bama.

Bama makes you play faster than your normal comfort zone is. It's like a hitter that usually faces 88 mph pitchers going up against a 95 mph pitcher. It's not that the kid can't hit 95 or that he's not talented enough to do so, it's that he never faces it & isn't adjusted to the speed.

Ole Miss practices & plays a style of football that allows them to adjust to 95 mph FBs very quickly. Mullen will have to change the way he practices throughout the year if he wants to ever beat Bama. You must develop a team that is comfortable playing fast

30-0 and now they call a penalty

Quote, "i just want to see some effort from my guys this half", Dan Mullen. Pitiful.

What's he saying?

[Apoplectic]

So Mullen recognizes we're not playing with effort. Unbelievable and he's the damn head coach and does nothing about it

[Apoplectic]

What's he saying?

Calling out effortless D by name

[Goldendawg]

State battle cry my whole life, we'll be better next year. What about today and this year?

Anderson was off sides. No call
