We'll get to see just how good Chizik is.

We all saw what Saban could do on year 2 with a #1 recruiting class and a year's worth of his philosophies sinking in....

Next year, we'll get to see how far Chizik can get.

Wagers on their record?

<brief OP because i'm at work>

Next year will be much of the same as this year...hopefully with cutting out some of the bad losses, like UK and UGA that happend this year. the year after will be the truth teller. But by then malzhan will likely have departed so there just seem to be too many factors for me to speculate right now.

Either way, its better than 2 seasons ago.

Not a fair comparison. Alabama had a solid foundation of young players that Shula recruited who were becoming stars by Saban's second year.

Next year we have a senior heavy team.

Including 4 SR on the Oline and Dline, 2 SR LBers,and poss 3 Sr in the secondary. Our Oline will have overe 114 combined starts, even with a new RT.

If Newton is as good as advertised, then we will win at least 10 game and the Iron Bowl will be for the west.

actually i did... but, like i said, i'm at work. i really didn't think much except for "HA, now we'll see how good this Chiz is after his first year and his first recruiting class.

but yeah, discuss the differences between the last shula classes and the last Tub classes if you want too. that's fine.

That's a good possibility. More than likely a Thursday Night Game, on the road. I could see them losing that game.

Wait wait wait...This seems way too familiar to the talk right before the La Tech game last year.

Off the bat, You had a pretty good LT and JPW was a senior qb that had an outstanding year.


I get that Saban did a terrific job, but to say AU needs to go undefeated in year 2 (reg season) or it means Chiz is not a great coach is folly.


Acknowledged: Saban has proven to be a great coach. Chiz is unproven. But, this year's record, as it relates to Saban year 2 at Bama, will not be the determining factor in whether Chiz is or not.

End our 3 game win streak I think not.

They coudln't block an inept Dline, allowed our inept Offense to score at will, worse play calling than Crowton, and havn't beat Miles in 3 years.

Well we've hear over and over again from the Aubies how Chiz had a better record than Saban did his first year at Bama and that it somehow meant Chiz is as good or better than Saban.

That is why you will hear Bama fans say that.

We where at a disatvantage. We had Chris Todd at qb. When that sack fumble happened the game was over. You broke his confidence with that and it was done. Plus some of those shitty calls by the ref, like the personal foul on Ethridge for a completely legal play.
