🏈 Holtz effectively called us out...

['65 Cobra]

He pretty much said that we got out-physicalled today. He said something like, "maybe now Alabama will get back to playing like how they played to get here to begin with." I take that to mean physical punishing bullies.

Hey the truth hurts. Our O-line and D-Line got manhandled today. It's not because we don't have the talent to be the bullies - we do. But we got complacent.

Maybe this one loss is the best thing for us. If we were going to lose it's best to lose now and to an East team. But the boys better dang well play with a chip on their shoulders the rest of the way out.

 

[ColoradoTide]

He's right. I kept thinking throughout the game, "Damn, they look like US!"

 

[BigAl]

Heres the way i see this, if we can win out and win the west we'll get another shot at them in Hotlanta, and that's when we really wanna show out then we can still get to the MNC game hopefully with one loss. A one loss Bama will get a lot more respect than a boise state anyday.

 

[BAMA JAMMA]

For once Holtz was right.

 

[AllieBama]

I rarely agree with Holtz, but he's right on this time.

 

[XXL TideFan]

For once Holtz was right.

Blind squirrel meet acorn.

Even a broken clock is correct twice a day.

So true. :rofl:

 

[crimsonclutch]

I hate Lou Holtz almost as much a Fat Phil, but the dirty jerk is right. Now I have to go gargle with gasoline to clean my mouth out after saying that.

 

[PyroNismo2000]

This was our WAKE UP CALL!

hmmm... boise st? you are sadly mistaken. bama's shot at a bcs went right down the tubes today. everyone... including coaches and sports analysis have said all season that if boise st. goes undefeated they will get a shot at the bcs championship game. it's not boise st.'s fault that top teams are scared to play them. mind of fact... im not soo sure bama wouldve won the championship last year if they played boise st. those kids are well coached and now they gotta good defense to match with their high powered offense. i love the sec... and always pull for any sec team that makes it to the top, but.... not this year fellas

FAIL! If any undefeated BCS conference team makes to the NC & a SEC team has one loss & wins the SEC Championship, the Broncos will be bucked even if they are undefeated. Just ask Utah about that. BTW, we haven't heard a peep from Boise either about doing a home & home or a neutral site. Also, to speculate about Boise beating 'Bama last year in the BCS NC is borderline retarded & pointless. Boise got left out of that game for a reason.

 

[TidePride50]

He's right. I kept thinking throughout the game, "Damn, they look like US!"

I even said that out loud during the game when they went on that long TD drive after converting about 4 3rd downs.

 

[Tideboy]

Just run the freakin' ball!!! Enough with the cutsie passing. MASH the damn ball down the field. Our D played like crap, so we need to limit their possesions with long TD drives of our own

I know! Why do we have to act like the team that has to get fancy to win (from the beginning)?! Where was the wildcat today?!

Boise was already jumped by Oregon in the polls so I have to agree with you. An undefeated Boise State will get trumped by a one-loss SEC team. I was among those that thought if Boise won out they'd get their shot simply because of their preseason rank. Since they were already jumped by Oregon, unless Oregon drops a game they shouldn't Boise needs Ohio State to lose to even have a half-assed argument for it.

Bama still has a shot but you guys need Auburn to be undefeated heading into the Iron Bowl. If we get by Arkansas next week and come to Tuscaloosa undefeated we will be ranked no worse than #7 in the country. Bama probably won't drop out of the top ten after today so they won't need much "help". Nebraska or OU will lose a game between now and then at least. If Bama knocks off a highly ranked Auburn team and then goes to Atlanta and knocks off USCjr, who will be highly ranked also--with some help you guys could legitimately have a shot at playing your way back into the BCS.

</p>News Flash Genius-> you cannot guarantee what you cannot back up. TX said the same thing about McCoy. But 'Bama has the rings to show for it. Something USC would know nothing about (you did notice I said rings, plural). I digress

Any one loss SEC Champion will always jump Boise at this point. I don't care if it is for the BCS NC game or BCS bowl; that team will leap Boise. It will happen if the SEC Champion has one loss. You guys had a good game. Enjoy it while you can but don't think using the euphoria of this win will entitle you to make retarded guarantees w/o somebody standing up to them.

 

[RollTideinGA]

I fyou blindly say Arkansas, South Carloina, or Notre Dame will win eventually they will. He's such the obvious homer its sad.

Allie, to hell with Holtz.
