For the first time in years, I heard many experts say that Nicky got out coached this year, especially by Gus. Bama just signed the best recruiting class in history, so when we beat them again, what does that say about Nicky's coaching ability? That's why the heat is really on him to win.

2013's win is considered an outlier or fluke by many. This year's IB will be a much larger statement. To beat Saban consecutively would change the perception of his dominance.

I agree that we need to beat them or at the very least be very competitive with them consistently for people's attitudes to change.

I still don't see how people call this year's win a fluke though. It's not like we were losing when we returned the kick. We were tied and had finally started to move the ball well again and our defense was keeping them out of the endzone, especially when we got to the redzone.

That's because the mighty tahd got beat. The truth is, bama was overrated. They played a soft schedule. They snuck by Miss. St.. After that game I thought our guys had a shot.

I don't know, I actually see several media types saying Saban was flat out couches in the iron bowl.

He was either out coached or it was a fluke, can't really be both. Unless it was a fluke Saban was out coached, which is just stupid. A lot of people I think see that Gus is a better x and O's guy. Nothing fluky about it
