Shocked, but happy that even with four loses we still have a better record than little bro aTm.

Living up to the 2011 and 2012 teams was impossible. Those teams were built on the classes of 2008 and 2009. The classes that immediately followed were great but no where near as good in hindsight.

Yeah, I'm confused why Saban hasn't gotten more heat for his atrocious recruiting from 2010-2012. He didn't recruit a single CB in 2011 yet people wonder why the secondary is garbage. In 2011 and 2012, he signed Ely and Morris as his only QBs. What the hell did he see in either of them? Neither of them had any upside and would have been game managers at best yet. Unsurprisingly, neither of them has done squat which left us with a screwed-up QB situation last year and it likely will be screwed up again this year. What's the point of Saban recruiting 50 RBs and then saying he wants to transition over to a more wide open passing offense? And Saban STILL hasn't found a disruptive edge pass rusher. This team has been a flabby mess over the last couple years.

It's not even worth it with him.

We were 8 points away from playing for another natty (Would have been our 4th in 6 years) We won the best conference in America. We hauled in a top recruiting class. Yet somehow, there is definite cause for concern with the direction the program is heading. If people like him want to live in the negative and whine and cry that we don't win every game by 28, so be it. Bama fans are spoiled, and Bench is a prime example of it.

I rest my case.

Agreed. A Bama fan complaining about the state of the program is hilarious. Any other SEC team would trade for what they have in a heartbeat. Maybe anyone in the country besides OSU.

Gotdamn brother, I haven't seen a Bama fan this dissatisfied since the Dubose run.

It would certainly be a shock to the system. Bama loses two games in "down" years now. Four losses would be looked at as a disaster even though that wouldn't be fair at 9-4.

Sadly it would be an improvement after last season, but mediocre job by Miles.

If LSU loses four games this year, it's because of a repeat performance at QB. In which case, I really don't know what would happen. Minimum CCC would have to be fired. Really just no excuse for a program of LSU's caliber to have the last ranked QB in efficiency.

Oh and HOT seat for Miles. And anger, sadness, and defeat.
