Your best win is against AU. Don't act like y'all have been through a gauntlet. Kentucky put 31 and UAB put 34 on that D.

It's not Death Valley or anything but you get a bunch of drunk Ole Miss fans at night, it gets pretty rowdy.

I'm sure it is

what I'm saying is that bama doesn't have issues winning on the road though. at least in recent past.

Again, they usually beat LSU @ LSU

People forget we had 400 yards on the Miss. Defense.

Kiff not running the ball more hurt us, we were slicing through their defense running the ball.

A fumbled kickoff that gave them 7 didn't help either.

I never bought in to Ole Miss, the basically played a cup cake schedule save the Bama game, besides LSU.

I see Auburn winning by 17.

After the drive where you ran to the left about 8 times, we made adjustments and you couldn't run it anymore. Kiffin had to look elsewhere.

Well, Bama has only played 1 ranked team this year and they lost.

The only other team bama has played that even has a winning record is West Virginia and that one was close.

Sorta seems to me the one good team was a loss and the only other teams bama played with a pulse nearly beat them as well (Arky and WVU).

ETA: Correction. Appears WVU snuck into the top 25 yesterday. Probably won't last long considering they play a decent TCU team this week, but bama can be proud of their win against a currently ranked team I suppose. It has been a while since bama beat a ranked team, almost a year now.

gotta play the game like you mean it. cant just show up and go through the motions. cant play sloppy. thats why games arent won on paper.


Explains it all right there. Bama usually brings it every week, but ALL teams make mistakes. Some cost more than others, but no one is invincible (even if ESPN says otherwise).

Melting at 7-1? Come on, bro. You must not be familiar with OM football.

Exactly. And teams struggling with leadership commit more penalties and turnovers when the stress is turned up. Alabama and LSU are trending up.

you should try to find some of my pre season posts where I was having to convince OM fans that they'd field a good team this year. I predicted them to win the west in one thread.

I'm making an observation that OM didn't look like a top 10 team on Saturday, and that Alabama, IMO, is much better than them.


You've been making anti-OM observations all season.

I'm not doing research on your posts - you are a hater just admit it.

Simple answer: We forced turnovers. Our offense got in a rhythm running tempo and Alabama couldn't stop it.


Correct on the first part. Not quite so much the second.

The OM offensive stats for both the LSU and Bama games were pretty similar - 327 total yards against Bama and 313 against LSU. Ditto for the defensive side. Your defense gave up 396 to Bama and 403 to LSU.

Turnovers, special teams frickups, and the Kelly injury created opportunities for OM against Bama and they stepped up and grabbed them. LSU gave you the same opportunities but this time you let them sail right on by.

Now don't ask me about the Arky game. That was just an all around shiatshow.

Do you really have a hard time with facts or are you just going to repeat untrue statements thinking that if you say them enough people will believe them?

Neither of these statements are true.

LSU fans act like they waxed Ole Miss. The final score was 10-7. Ole Miss screwed up taking it to overtime.

In similar fashion, Ole Miss fans act like they killed Bama. If Bama hadn't thrown that last interception in the end zone, OM would have lost by 1 point.

I think these are three evenly matched teams. Home field can have a little to say in the outcome. I hope that is not the case in two weeks at LSU.
