Good luck guys
Best of luck to our SEC brethren – let’s keep this ball rolling and show the nation what the SEC elite can do. Roll Tide. S-E-C.

So what?
Move that hyphen, and the Big Ten would be 61-5. Let’s see the SEC win 3 times per game.

By the way, Iowa owns the SEC
After that shitkicking we gave South Carolina yesterday, that’s 3 wins in the last 4 against your quaint little conference. Go ahead and put us on the schedule, SEC. We double dog dare you.

Even the worst of SEC teams are better than the Big Ten, right?
The point remains: Iowa could only own the South more if its middle name was Tecumseh.

You got us Hawkeye
I guess your 5th best team is better than our 5th best team….but that’s a huge victory for the Big 10. If you could ever beat OSU (aka SEC whipping boy) maybe you could play one of the big boys in a real bowl instead of kicking off before most of America even wakes up on New Year’s Day!

Gator, you don't wake up before noon on any other day...
It was kinda hard for us to beat OSU this year because they weren’t on the schedule. But if you’re going to base your entire conference supremacy argument on a team’s bowl record, you have to admit that, year in and year out, Iowa is much better than your entire conference.

Again my point is
If you play in 4th tier bowls every year, your record in those bowls is….meh…who cares how many Sports Humanitarian Bowl trophies you have in the case??!?!?
by skigator93 on Jan 2, 2009 8:11 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
That would be zero
And, seeing as how we’ve played Florida twice in our “4th-tier bowls,” I suggest you reconsider your argument.
Of course, if my team was 2-4 in its last 6 bowls against the Big Ten, I’d ignore all logic and reason too.

Plan for the second half
Get back to what you do best….run the ball. If you turn into a Big 12 team and pass every play, you have no chance. There is plenty of time – a 14-0 second half wins the game for you. That is Alabama football.

As a Bama fan im not TOTALLY shocked. you lose the best o-lineman in the country, AND his back up, and thats gonna kill your running game. when your running game gets pwnt, it really sucks when 50% of your passing game comes off of the play action.

as evidenced by the fact that we’re on an 11-0 run right now. furthermore it could be 21-17 if tiffin made his kick and whats his head didnt pull a false start. thats on the players, i know theyve been coached better

Cody
will not be a factor in this game simply because Utah doesn’t run the type of plays Cody defends. Using their spread scheme, Utah and Florida actually make a player like Cody a disadvantage for our defense.
We need to keep our focus and not panic. Eleven points is not a terrible deficit. Skigator93 is right. We have not had any success this season passing when the other team expected us to pass. If we drop back and throw it forty times, we will lose.

This game reminds me
of the West Virginia and Georgia Sugar Bowl from a few years back. We look complacent. Like Barry Switzer said, “Alabama looks like they want to be in the Orange Bowl, while Utah looks like they want to be in the Sugar Bowl.”
I was pissed from the very beginning because I thought this was a bad draw for us. Utah had everything to gain, we had everything to lose. Utah could come in with a chip on their shoulder, play the us against the world angle, and pull out all the stops.
The one thing we couldn’t do was make mistakes: starting with Andre’s suspension, we’ve made many.
Look at the bright side. We’re only trailing 21-10. Not an insurmountable deficit, but we need to come out like gangbusters in the second half. Utah has our attention now. We have to play like it’s a 0-0 game and Utah pissed in our corn flakes last year.

If we could make a few tackles and turn the momentum, we could still win. …. but the way they are playing is just like the Shula years where they would quit.

I’ve watched Bama play before this year and Utah is kicking Bama’s ass right now. No team has done this to Bama, not even Florida. The missed tackles are because Utah actually has some guys that can play. Bama’s run game has stunk, which it hasn’t done in a long time. It amazes me no credit can be given to an undefeated Utah team, simply because they wear U-T-A-H on their jerseys.
Julio has dropped passes before, I’ve seen Tiffin miss, JPW has never been great, and yes even Bama’s defense missed some tackles.

jean pierre wilson…. yeah the O-line didn’t give him much help, but that first INT was vintage JPW circa november 2006 and 2007.

i’m gonna give him a bit of credit. he took eight sacks and was pressured all night. nobody ever really expected him to carry this team to victory just not screw it up. tiffin and just about any given person in the secondary cost us as many points as jpw last night.

JPW did have a much much better second half
but that first pick was god awful. at first i thought maybe his target zigged when he shoulda zagged, but after watching the replay, he looked to be throwing the right flat, and just floated it to the safety right over the middle….. tiffins 2 misses were huge, seemed like utah only got one PI penalty on them out of 5 or 6 obvious occurances, and it was a play where they used it to prevent a TD from being caught, we settled for a FG attempt. so that one PI flag didn’t even help us. and yeah the “tackleing” by our secondary would have made moscow ballet company proud.

We’ve been exposed on Offense and Defense the last two games.
OF needs a QB, No Hanks and Alexander, (2) play makers, Smelley at TE, and some time with a new group at O-L.

as disgusted as i am with this result – it was a complete failure at just about every aspect of the game (sans arenas and coffee of course) i still am very proud of this team and what it accomplished. as much as this loss and the one to florida gall, we have to remember we were slated to be an 8 win sec west also ran at best.
our depth problems and youth finally caught up with us at the very end of the season. but this is a group that has shown it’s got the ability and desire to win at the higest levels. i’m not expecting this game to derail that progress.
so, while i’m pretty amazingly miserable right now, i still gotta say Roll Tide and thanks to a team that gave us all an amazing season to remember.
