I would love to buy what you are selling, but he's proven the doubters wrong over and over. This is a bad look for him, but he has the results on the field to tell us to fuck off. I can't wait until that part of the cycle cycles.

I hate to say it but I agree with you. He is getting older though and I am not sure how many more years he can go and stay at the top.

The only reason Alabama lost to Georgia was because they were down their two best WRs to injury. I was at the game in Atlanta and Georgia could not cover those WRs.

Don’t be silly.

The do-over is never close if Bama didn’t have the zebras in their corner. Alabama’s 12th man did everything they could to keep Bama in it.

Let me put it to you this way, that Alabama team that played Monday night in January was not the same team that I saw in Atlanta. Those 2 WRs, in fact, were the only major difference in that game in Atlanta. Georgia was probably a better team otherwise. Stetson Bennett also had kind of a meltdown in 3Q while he was flawless in the Title Game.

Also, true Alabama gets a lot of calls but they are nothing compared to Florida. Florida has won so many close games off bad calls it isn't funny.

Then they lost because they only had two viable receivers on their roster and both were brittle bitches. That’s a them problem. All 3 4th quarter TDs for UGA were scored by freshmen, the go ahead TD by a 3 star true freshman. Next man up don’t bitch

In the NCG alone, Bama’s only TD came off of a bullshit fumble call followed by an even more bullshit roughing the passer call, and that’s not even mentioning the bullshit, drive killing intentional grounding call when George Pickens broke off his route

I don’t want to go there, but UGA schemed an entirely different D in the NCG. We also had some players with the flu in the SECCG. So, sure, losing their WRs mattered, but they should have had replacements, and we played a way better D game in the NC game. We had true freshmen score 2 TDs to go ahead and a RS freshman with the pick 6. Bama needs to have the rest of their players ready to go next year.

I will say this, the Georgia players in the pre-game warmups looked bigger and more talented than Alabama. That kind of surprised me.

When there are two fairly even teams, a rematch typically favors the team that lost the first time.
They can look at film, see what beat them, and make adjustments. The team that won the first game doesn't change what worked the first time.
That is likely why Georgia won the rematch.

Best recruiting class 8 of last 10 years. 2nd best those two years he wasn't best.

He such a douche and the fan base eats it up.

Have you met that fan base?

 

[Mistaken4193]

Nick ain’t lying. I said it all last season and anybody who watched Bama outside of the SEC Championship knows it was. That was our worst Saban team since 07.

Georgia was a much much better team but we had their Kryptonite in Metchie and Williams. They couldn’t handle them in Atlanta and Williams already had 4rec for 65yds in the NCG when he went down. When they went down Georgia was superior to us everywhere else and our 1 matchup that evened the game for us was gone.

Our OL was TERRIBLE and killed us all seasonbecause Doug Marrone is a dumb worthless bitch and it’s not a surprise the only good game our OL played was the SECCG…which was the Only game we called our retired OL coach Joe Pendry in to help.

This team this year is stacked and maybe Sabans best on paper. And we got a new OL Coach, thank fucking God. I will be shocked if we don’t fuck everybody up.

And those same WRs are gone this season.
Bama is screwed

 

[SoonerC]

Well he would have never lost one if they would just make these offenses quit going no huddle. I mean it’s just not fair.

I will say this, the years Alabama tends to win it all is the years you guys are not overwhelming favorites. Every time I have seen Alabama miss out has been years like this one when everyone said Alabama would just cruise to a Championship.

 

[Illustrious Potentate]

And the only reason UGA lost the SECCG was because we were following orders from the commish to help get two SEC teams in the playoffs. Hence the stupid game plan.

Yeah. 2016 was our best team ever(until 2020) and we lost because Jalen Hurts couldn’t fucking throw the football and kept going 3&out and forced our defense to play 100 snaps and they ran out of gas.

Last year Georgia was the best team all season and they rightfully won the National Title.Of Bama’s 3 Natty losses that one easily bothers me the least because we were not a great team so I was just happy to be in that game.

We had so many games we could have lost but didn’t.(Florida,LSU, AuBarn, and Arkansas).Even a 7 win Tennessee played us even until the 4th quarter. All of these games we squeezed out when we got outplayed. Easily Sabans worst team since he turned us around in 2008

You are losing in Austin

I like Sark. I think Sark is really good coach, but Good Lord he is not a good person for willfully leading his players into the Slaughter house September 10

I am not sure about BEST team but the most talented team that I have seen from Tennessee was actually 2001 and not 1998 or 1999. I do think Casey Clausen was a weak point compared to Tee Martin or Peyton Manning but that 2001 team was loaded and many of those players went on to have a great career in the pros. Some of them, were prima donnas though: {Casey Clausen (who I actually met and have an interesting story about) and Kelly Washington being two}.

Erik Ainge was interesting as well because he is one of the most talented QBs to come through Knoxville but it came out later that he was addicted to drugs his entire time in Knoxville and it likely derailed his career. He is a sports talk host in Knoxville now and has mentioned this story several times.
