I think you nailed it earlier in the week. I mistook Miami for being a good team and that’s been shown to be dead wrong. I bought into the reload mantra but the truth is that’s unfair to those who just left and to those who have replaced them. Even more so, it’s unfair to Coach Saban. We’re Bama fans so our expectations are always high but for us to think the Tide could lose players who were named the Heisman, the Hornung, the Belitnikoff, the Davey O’Brien, the Maxwell, the Doak Walker, the Outland Trophy, the Sporting News Player of the Year and Joe Moore Award winners … not to mention having five unanimous AA’s and another consensus AA plus two other Heisman finalists … and this year’s team NOT take a big step back is ridiculous. The good news is it doesn’t appear there are any elite teams this season. Perhaps this Tide team will find a way to win ugly a bunch but I’m not going to expect them to be anywhere close to last season’s juggernaut going forward.

[QUOTE="Davestwin, post: 1395968, member: 24371"] I think you nailed it earlier in the week. I mistook Miami for being a good team and that’s been shown to be dead wrong. I bought into the reload mantra but the truth is that’s unfair to those who just left and to those who have replaced them. Even more so, it’s unfair to Coach Saban. We’re Bama fans so our expectations are always high but for us to think the Tide could lose players who were named the Heisman, the Hornung, the Belitnikoff, the Davey O’Brien, the Maxwell, the Doak Walker, the Outland Trophy, the Sporting News Player of the Year and Joe Moore Award winners … not to mention having five unanimous AA’s and another consensus AA plus two other Heisman finalists … and this year’s team NOT take a big step back is ridiculous. The good news is it doesn’t appear there are any elite teams this season. Perhaps this Tide team will find a way to win ugly a bunch but I’m not going to expect them to be anywhere close to last season’s juggernaut going forward. [/QUOTE]
