I will give you the UGA beatdown but please Samford? Tune-up game for bama, that was always gonna be what it was.
Yes I expected to play the way we did Saturday, why wouldn't you? Our offense was great in every game we played except for the UGA game (and maybe K-State). As a former teacher you should know that one "outlier" does not equal the norm. We were far more likely to be good than we were bad.
I don't think you read my posts well enough if you think I hated this game because we were competitive and not blown out. The issue here is what Kaos said - I'm tired of Alabama. I'm over it. I'm over this whole conference and league.
They say to be the best you have to beat the best, and they also say that some losses can break a program.
Teams have beaten Alabama, but they don't die. Alabama beats teams that crumble and fire their coaches. They beat really good teams that are staring at a rebuilding year.
But year after year, we're constantly watching the Bama parade and it takes outliers like a kick 6 to knock them out of orbit, which usually doesn't anyway. Hell, if the playoff started last year, Alabama would have been in it.
That team is 13 points away from having competed in and probably won 5 going on 6 national championships and with all the allegations that fizzle into pixie dust, I'm over it.
