We get our asses kicked by Ole Miss, deserved to lose against Arkansas, and yet post-game we still have senior leadership making statements like that. This team is entitled as hell.

Agree. I was also shocked at Saban's press conference after the game. He wasn't critical like he normally is and said he was proud of the team's effort.

just curious, but after which game?

Saban is very critical most times, but when the team seems down / demoralized and when he knows they are going to have a lot of people coming down hard on them he usually picks that time to show the team a lot of public support.

I was a student under the dead days of Shula so I get how great we have had it lately. But I would rather watch a team with average talent play its heart out than watch a bunch of entitled 5 stars ruin a program with a "when is the draft" attitude.

You've been there and done that as far as watching less talented teams scrap their way to 5-7, then. If you'd rather watch that, go root for fricking Tennessee. That was a SEC road victory against a hungry team learning to win. We held them to their season low in damn near everything. Bama has a long way to go, but I myself ain't gonnna shite on the team for winning a hard fought game.

Quit bitching and complaining and let the season play out. What happens will happen. Whether we win out or lose 3 more games.

Alabama is not a bad team, just not as good as some of the Bama teams of the past 6 years, especially on the offensive line. It has nothing to do with not playing hard.

I'm not sure why you'd be shocked. I think he realizes that there are some serious issues on the team and is trying a different tack.

I realize that everyone likes to characterize him as a completely unfeeling, soulless tyrant, but come on.

Lack of proper respect for the worthy opponent has infected the Bama football culture for years now. It's institutional hubris. It's completely permeated everything now.

Humility is good in highly competitive environments. Exhibit it now,collect dividends later. It's a reset point.

This team will never recover from this streak of shitty play until we face the reality that we are currently a mid-level SEC team and to beat anyone we will have to play our best game and want it more. We need an underdog mentality since that is what we should be against aTm, MSU, and Auburn.


Yep! Too much talent, too many experienced coaches to play this badly. This is nearly an identical staff to ones we have won previous titles with.

Good point. I'm not saying he's completely unfeeling or anything like that. Just was shocked that he was as positive as he was.

I hear ya. It's a different look for him, for sure. Without claiming to "know what's going on in Nick's mind," I'd guess that he realized that going about things as he normally has isn't going to work this time.

I know what was going through his mind.

"If I get Kirby to burn his body, there should be no evidence. Monte won't miss him very much and his brother Chris won't come looking for him."

MFing this. The 2011 team was the last badass team we had. 2012 less so. And so on, and so on...

History says it won't happen. I could see us slipping up against Auburn and State against y'all.

Iv'e been around here a long time now. I'm not a Bench alter. Not that you will believe me either way.

A real fan can call it like it is. A bad fan is praising everyone during a win and can't be heard from again when we are losing. At least I am here to eat my crow and admit it when we are not that great.
