“We aren’t going out like this, not letting everyone be right about us” slams helmet “from this point on no body is getting by us it’s over for them” yelling the entire time.

This was immediately followed by a few guys chiming in (Landon, Coop, even D Henry) and getting everyone on board.

The story was a little hard to follow but I think the game did two things, enraged tj yeldon to look like his old self while simultaneously becoming a huge leader.

Made the team want to win everything despite everyone.



I got this from TSWSNBN who got it from Al

Don't know if it will do any good, but I'll take it. Play angry if that is what it takes to focus and cut out the bullshite penalties, turnovers, and other mistakes.

At least that will stop the "players don't care" theme that has been picking up steam.

I'd rather Landon Collins lead with his play and not with his mouth. He was very poor.

TJ Yeldon


He gets 30 carries on Saturday afternoon and we are still undefeated.

Good to hear. Thought TJ had a whale of a game and was our best player on the field.

This is good for the team. These guys need to realize that not all hope is lost. We can still play for a championship. Season is far from over

I really think this team is missing a leaders presence. Maybe this will help fill that void.

This is the type of game that will do WONDERS for us, or it will break us. The real truth is when we're up against the ropes again how we respond.

I wish he would fight a little harder on those 3rd downs where he always seems to come up inches short.

This is great considering TJ has never really been one of the more vocal guys on the team.

I saw somewhere Jalston Fowler said the bye week practices were poor.

gtfo

I'm also tired of hearing about how our players don't want it and dont care. Its really easy for fans to sit on their arse and say that.

Our players played their asses off on Saturday, and to say otherwise is dumb.

Only one feel didn't give a total effort was OJ.

I just can't wait till we bounce back and prove all these naysayers wrong.

^^1000000% this. It pisses me off how some of our own fans throw our players under the bus by calling them "spoiled" "lazy" "unmotivated" and "only playing at Bama so they can get to the NFL." These boys dedicate their own well being to put on a great game for us. I know people here have a friend who works in the Athletic Department, or knows so-and-so who's close to Saban, but the truth is that NONE of us really know what goes on in that locker room, or on that practice field, so enough with these preconceived assumptions about the players.

Alabama is still one of the best teams in the country. There are several teams that can beat Alabama, but by the same token there isn't one team in the country that Alabama can't beat. If we were to run the table and win the 4th NC in the last 6 years, it might actually be the sweetest of them all, just for the "what the frick, I thought they were done?" reactions from across the country.

That's the saddest part. The rest of the country doesn't even think we're done.

It is mainly terrible Alabama fans who have given up and abandoned supporting their own team who have pushed this narrative.

It is embarrassing how spineless our fans can be. How quick they will turn against their own team. Every intelligent poster on this forum knew it would be nearly impossible to go undefeated. So why is the fallout like we just lost to Auburn last year?

It's disgraceful.

This. I think I saw earlier where we are still favored to win the West over everyone excluding Auburn.

Honestly, I've read your posts, and you aren't exactly helping the situation with your attacks on people who have a different opinion than you. Sometimes people need to be able to vent without you seeming to take it personally, attacking and questioning their fanhood (at best) and accusing them of having sinister or even racist motives (at worst).

Not surprising. Alabama will probably be favored in every game from here on out still. Sucks that we now need help from someone to beat Ole Miss, possibly twice.
