🏈 The Good, The Bad and The Ugly vs. FSU

[BamaFan334]

The money isn't going to magically appear because he losses more games. The very last thing Byrne is going to spend funds on is a buyout that large that squeezes and strains other areas of the AD, collective/NIL, and fundraising. For better or worse, his approach to everything begins and ends in terms of what is most financially responsible for the athletic department.

I feel those two things are directly intertwined. Anyone that thinks people will continue to pour money into a losing product are gonna be sorely disappointed when it doesn't happen.

I personally feel today lost a lot of support and nothing short of a 10-2 season is gonna restore any trust.

Texas lost due to Arch looking like complete shit, but their defense looked amazing. We didn't look good in any aspect of the game. I can take a loss as a #1 team if we struggle in an area. I cannot respect a loss to an un-ranked team and getting your ass handed to you and looking lost in every aspect of the game while doing it.

 

[BamaFan334]

He has a freshman QB on the roster now that IMO will be better than Penix was.

How much ass kissing and $$$ to get him to stay?

 

[JoseyWalesTheOutlaw]

The ass kissing is the reason we find ourselves in this current position. F Um.

 

[Krimson]

What specifically?

9000 mentions of a new coach, meltdowns of Auburn proportions, just read most of the replies.

The first drive was good, Bernard played a good game, qb play was better than the majority of the last 2 years

Bad, thought the run game plan went away too soon. Should've tried field goals on a couple of those 4th downs. Too many deep throws when the offensive line was having trouble. Penalties.

Ugly was the defense and being manhandled by an ACC team, not sure if that's strength and conditioning or intestinal fortitude. Didn't want Wommack when he was hired and he sure hasn't changed my mind, he's been inconsistent everywhere.

 

[Crimson&WhiteGecko]

The Good- The opening drive was absolutely fantastic. Or shall I say the SCRIPTED opening drive was brilliant. Simpson did a hell of a job for his first start in THAT stadium with that revamped team. I think he handled it as well as we could have asked considering those cirmstances.

The Bad- As of today...... the DL is miserable. Keenan was a loss for sure but it can't ALL be about his absence. Wommack has an uphill battle to impress me at this point. I was desperate to see something better. I was gravely disappointed.

When is my head coach going to start coaching guys during the game. This ShulaLostLookIntoTheStands is for the birds. If you look lost, you can bet your players feel the same.

We should have kicked the field goal. PERIOD. Quit this act of desperation 4th down attempts. Get points. Grind out the game to put your team in a position to win & the odds are the OTHER team will mess up after wearing down.

The UGLY- Either FSU is THE turnaround story of the this season or 'Bama is actually soft despite the hard offseason & fall camp (sarcasm). They WERE PHYSICAL & 'Bama didn't match it. The REAL Ugly is that I have yet to see a Deboer team match the physicality of any team that gets after them. It's hard for me to feel good about state of the football program when other (unranked teams) are bitch slapping 'Bama==> READ THAT AGAIN!!!

Enough talk. Enough patting each other on the back. Enough 'believing in this team'.

Show me. Otherwise STFU

The last time we caught a beat down in a season opener was 2000 against UCLA and we proceeded to go 3-8.

Lol, we'll get the money up for it.

Nope not going to happen.

 

[UAgrad93]

Good- opening drive! 16 plays 75 yards 8+ minutes and some “take your lunch money” runs.
Bad- we then proceeded to play like the bunch that went out to Norman last year.
Ugly- after taking their lunch money that opening drive, FSU proceeded to take it back PLUS 1000% interest!!
I held out hope when it was 24-17 and it looked like we had them at 3rd and 9 with a stop by Domani Jackson, but lo and behold, James Smith has to come in late like a WWE wrestler from the top rope with a flying elbow drop.

Good - I'll echo that the opening drive was a good one. Bernard played well. A couple of the backs looked good when they had the opportunity. All things considered...Simpson played as well as could be expected.

Bad - Coaching...

Ugly - They put of a stat line, I believe towards the end of the 3rd quarter, 55 yards rushing on the first drive and they had a total of 57 yards rushing at the time. The offensive play calling for most of the game did nothing to help Simpson out. Then again, not getting him valuable experience last year when the starter was stinking it up didn't do him, or the team any favors for this year either.

UNDISCIPLINED!!!!

 

[Secondand26]

Does anyone know if Womack was interviewed after the game?

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Does anyone know if Womack was interviewed after the game?

I haven't seen, but I doubt it. He and Grubb will speak to the media on Monday.

 

[Secondand26]

I haven't seen, but I doubt it. He and Grubb will speak to the media on Monday.

That’s too bad ( that he will still be there on Monday lol)

 

[PurlJam]

Good - Tickets will be easy to come by.

Bad- stepping foot on that field with that game plan, if you can call it that.

Ugly- Will be determined by how long we’ll have to put up with this shit.

 

[Kamikazi18627]

We’ve lost to 4 unranked teams since Debra took over.



Yes I know I spelled his name Debra. We play like girls.

 

[TideatMileHigh]

Guys I'm serious... in the early 2000s I watched WWE relentlessly. I might have to do it again now...

 

[Secondand26]

We looked like a team that expected to show up & win. Big difference between expecting to win (because you’ve put in the work) & expecting the other team to just lay down.
What’s concerning to me is the fact that I didn’t see that fire or holding each other accountable by players or staff,

 

[sean]

That would be 2000 vs UCLA, after winning SEC championship the year before. 4-7 got DuBose fired.

Thanks for the correction. I guess I'd put that one out of my mind...same as I want to do with this one.

 

[JoseyWalesTheOutlaw]

Ten Bears called me a few moments ago and even he is pissed. His take is Bama will have a new DC in 2026.

I concur with his assessment. We're trying to make chicken salad out of chicken shit as of tonight. We need men to stop the run and all we have is the specialty positions on defense trying to out scheme them. Lawson and Jefferson are not SEC starters.
