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.

That's

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.

I bet Auburn will give you Chizik.

Oh, and like Mattco said, beating my Gamecocks means you’re at least as good as Vanderbilt.

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.

this is the least prepared Alabama has looked starting a game all year. Do you think they just under estimated utah or do you think that Smith being gone is having a mind effect?

looks very well prepared. 4 weeks kind of gives you a lot of time to look at film.

The sack on Wilson

may have been Andre being gone. I can’t remember, but I think the blitzer got around the LT.

Well, a big part of it is in B'ham and on the sideline with an injury.

We’ve always played great O while we’re ahead. This is something new for us. I’m hopeful that we will show some “pluck and grit” and make this a game we can brag about.

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.

by skigator93 on Jan 2, 2009 8:56 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

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.

Thank you Andre Smith

weve adjusted well as far as play calling offensively

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

defensively we’ve yet to see a whole lot to give me any confidence coming out of half time

by troy145 on Jan 2, 2009 9:02 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

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.

by Bamagrad on Jan 2, 2009 8:59 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

They’ll feed Asiata right and left. Cody will eat that up.

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.

I’m sure Bama will make them, but I don’t think Utah showed everything yet (they didn’t have to) so they will likely still catch us off guard a time or two. We have to dominate to win,.

Julio doesnt typically drop passes like in the first, we dont usually get pegged for multiple false starts, we dont usually give up 6 sacks (weve played better DEs), we dont usually miss 2/3rds of our field goals, we dont usually mismanag the clock, we dont usually miss tackles.

I'm watching the game

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.

Our O-Line isn’t moving their feet. Our playcalls have not been very good. We’ve been playing in the hole from the first quarter on and we don’t have a quarterback who can make enough plays.

If we don’t come out and make spectacular plays in the next five minutes, we’re going to have to live with the shame of losing this game.

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.

why are you attacking us

take that crap elsewhere….i know you are pissed but no reason to attack fellow fans

Dude seriously Bammer?

Why do you have to always try to tell me what to do? You ain’t my daddy and you certainly ain’t my moral compass…

I would appreciate it if you would quit trying to tell me what to do. Seriously.

ummmm

it has happened several times. I am a grown ass man and don’t need you instigating shit with me. I am probably older than you and know what and how to act (with the exception of the iron bowl). You come across with that hypocritical bullshit sometimes, and i know you don’t mean it but you do. Please don’t tell me to settle down. I am airing my frustrations.

I feared something like this as soon as I saw this game announced. Utah came in extremely excited and hungry. We came in with our heads down. Andre’s uncle acted like a moron, our defense looked like it didn’t have a clue.

I F’ing posted that we needed to treat Utah like Auburn. We didn’t.

They talked shit the entire month about how they were going to show us what was up and we still didn’t get fired up.

by Bamagrad on Jan 2, 2009 10:43 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

WTF

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.

DF needs DE pass rusher, ILB, FS, SS, True shut down corner, did I mention a DE pass rusher, and a ture shut down corner. O and a true shut down corner.

oh yeah, you did mention that…. hopefully ol st. nick has the same opinion.

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.

…that’s rediculous. we played terribly tonight and a lot of our flaws were capitalized on by a well prepared utah team. it’s a tough loss but it’s no reason to make a statement like that about this team. we lack depth and it finally showed these last two games. we lack experience and paid for it when the scrutiny got the hardest.

but like we bounced back from the ULM loss we’ll bounce back from this as well. we have a talented team, a great coaching staff and an ardent fanbase. let’s not lose focus of any of that because we feel like shit after this loss.

…12 win team is like saying you’re ugliest playmate of the year. 12 wins, no matter how “bad” the team may be, is an accomplishment. I’d rather be the worst 12 win team in the SEC than the best 9 win team.

yes, we lost this game badly and it sucks like living on a planet of suck orbiting the suck star in the universe of suckitude. but that’s no reason to dismiss everything that has been accomplished this year.

We don't lose this game...

….with our starting O-Line. Having Johnson at LT (after he spent last year doing his best Chris Capps impression at RT) wasn’t going to work out well to begin with, but when you move Drew Davis from RT to LT and have a true freshman at RT, you’re not going to do anything on offense period.
