The irony of your post is that Bama would be undefeated and number 2 in the country IF they would commit to being the dominant run oriented offense of old, versus this thing yall have going on now.
If you would have lined up, limited turnovers, controlled the clock, and been physical you would have just worn em down and won by 6-10.
Football has not changed, for every pro to going fast there is a con for going fast, for every pro of going slow, there is a con.
The only part of your post that I agree with is the way rules are making the game unbearable. Every game that I watched, both college and pro was a terrible experience......ridiculous number of penalties.

Defense is finally looking up this year and once we get back to Alabama football with our offensive line dominates again, people won't be able to handle us and will look for a new edge.

Better yet, go watch rugby.
Also, I would prefer the players I watch and cheer for be able to have a normal life after football.

Ever heard of the NFL?

gotta get our offensive line back in to shape, but we are on our way. I'm very excited about the end of this season and looking forward to the next couple years having the defense we are used to under Saban

OP is a weirdo but he's right. Football has taken a turn for the worse over the past 5 years. It was fine when these offensive schemes were on the fringe with Mike Leach, etc., but it sucks that it's becoming the norm. What makes football so fun to watch to me is that it's a balance between strategy/innovation and lining up and hitting the other guy in the mouth. How American is that?
Now it's turning into pussy shite in which teams with inferior resources and talent can not only mask it, but dominate teams with superior talent due to the exploitation of an inherent advantage with substitutions. I'm singling out A&M here, but they have no reason to base their philosophy around that because they have the resources to be a badass SEC football program, as douchey as that sounds. And I don't mean that as a troll. It's a shame.

Have you completed your list of excuses for Saturday yet?
Posted on 9/28/15 at 12:31 pm to LarrytheGolfer
Bama fans see the game passing them by and throw a tantrum.

It sounds cool, not douchey.
It's wrong, as given our home state talent the alternative to using our offense is to end up like Texas last year.
But it sounds cool.

I'm glad that we, as a society, will no longer reward obesity.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. The best offense out there is a pro style scheme managed by elite D-1 talent at the skill positions. Only a few teams are able to put that kind of team on the field every year. The teams with fewer resources have taken to the HUNH air raid BECAUSE IT MAKES THEM BETTER FOOTBALL TEAMS. Competition is improved. Upsets are more common.
I swear, some of you are straight up communists. Little teams play a different scheme, start winning games, and you all whine that it's unfair because they won't play 1954 ball with you. Pathetic.
