Proud of Bama

I know that Bama did not play very good at all yesterday. The coach said we didn't play with much passion and emotion and neither he, nor, I could understand that. Yet with the bad start, the defensive breakdowns, the lack of our usual power running game, and Auburn's early success, the team persevered. We took Auburn's best shot, emotionally, defensively, offensively, all on the road. The 'Barn pulled out all the stops, the '89 team on the field before the game, the trick plays, the 14 point lead, yet we continued on. This team didn't win because of better talent or even more depth, this team won because of character and heart. This is the stuff champions are made of. It reminded me of the way we played when Bear was coach or when Gene was coach and Barker would lead us on clutch drives to win games. Often we (Bama fans) complained about close games and not being flashy, and then we went through the Dubose through Shula years, and I am proud of this team for being a team and persevering and coming out on top. I have more confidence that we can beat Florida than I did a year ago, but no matter the outcome I am proud of this team.

I am proud

of this team too. And to be honest if we had lost it would have hurt more than any loss in a long time.

However, to beat UF we will need an effort and a game plan that is superior to any we have seen to date. Think UGA or Auburn last year.

I hate the NCAA more than UT & AU combined. At least with UT & AU you got a fighting chance.

Proud, too......

Whatever comes next, I am also proud of this team. And I like the fact that you reminded us that winning with heart, close—dominating, or whatever—beats the ever-lovin’ shit out of losing under incompetent coaches.

I am with 5026, we need a a plan that brings us out rolling at 15:00 in Q1. This slow start stuff is all fine and good when you lock yur oponent into a defensive struggle, and then we pull our Q2-3 surge out. But yesterday’s game exposed the dangers of that style.

You can't win. You can't break even. You can't get out of the game.
