Obviously, click bait title. I always like the tide, but the team this year just doesn't wow me like others years. I like the defense, but Rees offense is like a plain white cracker with no salt... Seems like a confusing constant struggle every week. The o line, the Qb, the freaking center that can't snap it.. like, what is their personality?

Just curious to hear your thoughts.

It all starts with this.

Clean up the snaps and the offense is pretty damn good.

I love every team, but one of the main reasons I love this team is because even though they're a bit dysfunctional in some areas, they absolutely never quit. Even when things aren't going well, they still play hard, they still give great effort, and they really seem to be trying to learn from their mistakes.

In the past, we've had guys on the team who would quit or constantly loaf, but so far, these guys are still playing hard, even when things don't go their way.

I like our kicker and punter, which means they’ll suck tomorrow.

I like this team because the defense and special teams are awesome. It's also fun to watch them grow and improve week to week.

I dislike this team because I had zero expectations and they sometimes fail to even live up to that!

The defense looks to be for real so that alone makes me like this team a lot.

Offense is still a work in progress, but the good news is that they look totally capable. We have playmakers. The last two weeks have shown improvement, which is about all we can ask for at this point.

We've had similar offenses that have come into their own at whatever point in the season. We've just been spoiled the last several years with elite QBs. As long as they just stayed focused and continue to get better, then we'll accomplish something this season.

We dominated for so long in a way that really hasn't been seen before in the SEC, but things are different these days for a number of reasons, but its actually pretty normal for us to have several tough games in the SEC.

Honestly, I think we were due for a rebuilding year and it's been fun watching them come together. We need this group to reestablish culture and so far they have been clearly moving in that direction.

I find not feeling we have to win the NC a bit of a change and it's welcome as long as it is temporary. If this team makes the playoffs I'll be even more stoked than normal. Winning it all would be insane and would feel like 09 again.

I love this team because I think that they have been humbled.

The fans have basically said the oline is fat and slow.

The qb is too dumb to play correctly

The oc is incompetent.

So they are down (but not out). And what we have here is a Rocky three type situation.

And I can just feel it. It's a serious team trying to just find a way until everything falls onto place.

They are rising to the occasion. That's my feeling.

I love our team. I think they have mojo and despite shortfalls still work hard.

Tomorrow will tell the tale.

I think a double digit win on the road in that environment propels us to the playoffs. I think Texas is probably the most complete the country and they caught us while we were figuring it out.

I love our defense. I think this is the best CB duo Saban has ever had at Bama. Just need the offense to keep improving and take care of the football. I want to see some explosive plays and killer instinct tomorrow on the offensive side of the ball. frick em in the neck and keep at it

I love this team.
As said above, they play hard every play and never give up.
They got a chip on their shoulder and have something to prove.
I'm starting to get the 2009 vibe from this team. They are just building every week....getting a little better.
