🏈 Sugar Bowl Thread: OU vs Bama 8:30 EST ... Roll Tide Roll!!!

[BadAllergies]

one last chance to fail......and it was a big one....

gotta throw the ball

Good season.

 

[RollllTide!]

Now I know the New Orleans Sugar Bowl Mojo is working to stop us from being in another sugar bowl. We just have to make sure in the future that we do not end up in the sugar bowl ever again. It is bad Karma

Tell me again how this will not be like 2008 and Utah all over again?

 

[RollllTide!]

The Oakies from Muscogie are drinking moonshine tonight.

 

[ElephantStomp]

Can't allow 7 sacks and turn the ball over 4 times and win against a mediocre team much less a good one

 

[bamafan9201]

Cyrus to return next gear? After this game, I've heard a few people say he'll be late 1st to early 2nd now with such an issue with speed rushers.

 

[planomateo]

Hell of a game OU. I still hate you.

For the record... I was not stupid enough to say that or think that... just as I was not stupid enough to think Auburn would be walk in the park.

As someone said, 11-2 is nothing to be ashamed of. However, it sucks to lose like we did, making some red-shirt Freshman look like a superstar and against the HUNH crap again. Two games in a row. We've got to figure out something on that. We're going to start seeing that every week until we prove we can fix it. Ah well, I'll feel better tomorrow. Just PO'd right now.

I was looking at this page and heard that AJ hugged stoopes. I would like to have seen that.

 

[planomateo]

more importantly, Roll Tide.

serious question: has Saban peaked? ...and no, I'm not saying I want to get rid of him

 

[It Takes Eleven]

Well, that was uninspiring. Plenty of things to improve upon in the off season, beginning with ball control and O line play. Four TOs leading to 28 points and 7 sacks will lose most games. Henry is coming into his own. Our defensive backs will be reliant upon this season's recruiting class. We will be strong up the middle, but will need Vinnie fully recovered to lead and make calls. A new QB will be even more reliant on line play and a run game. Next year will be exciting and good test of Saban's coaching ability.

Roll Tide everybody.

RTR,

Tim

I heard this in the media over and over again.

I really don't think so. We are weakest in the secondary, and I think he'll take that personally in the off season. That, and getting our O line in gear.

That would be me. :icon_lol:

Yeah we're all feeling it. And I think we can forget that "reload" propaganda for 2014 season. After these past two weeks and some real questionable quarters in the regular season, Bama needs to hoisted into the air, her engine removed and given a significant "re-build".

Laughing at this.

5 turnovers, missed FG, Nussemeir goes away from the run, multiple sacks....What a terrible game. 11-2 is nothing to be a shamed of, but all we're going to remember for the rest of the off-season is how Alabama lost those last two game. This game was pathetic. I think this maybe the first game since that loss to the Gamecocks that we were truly outplayed.

Thank you to the Seniors, sorry it went out badly. Good luck.

 

[bamafan9201]

I feel bad for the team for this loss, but let's face it, this might have been a much needed reality check for the young guns. We're not as good as we should be, OU was far from perfect and beat us soundly tonight. If I were on the team, I'd take this as an insult and spend the next 8 months or so locked in a gym.

 

[ColoradoTide]

Laughing at this.

I'm guessing this is the last time Nick Saban asks Lane Kiffin to evaluate his offense.

OR teaches an opposing coach how to run his defense as he did w/ stoops last year
