I don’t think I saw him make a single post in the past two game threads. Pretty interesting.

I said it earlier this week that we just don’t match up with them. It’s like us vs MSU. We are always going to get our arse kicked by Tenneseee w/ very rare exception.

This is correct. I didn’t have the optimism others had before the game started, but was hoping the refs would be a little more focused on calling blatant fouls restricting our movement. UT with this whistle is impossible for us to beat



I try to find optimism before a big game but I have eyes and can parse the information displayed in front of them. This game felt like it was a loss within the first three minutes but I stuck with it until halftime without a change in opinion.

We’re putting up a fight. That’s good to see!

I still don’t trust these refs

I despise when the announcers say something to the extent of, “ Hot start for the Roll Tide in the second half.”

2 handed hold to keep Mallette from getting by the perimeter defense. Just blatant fouls not being called

We can’t win if teams are allowed to play this way against us defensively. Swallowing the whistle is typical when UT plays. It’s just a rock fight.

This is why they are never successful in the NCAA tournament. Called completely different.

Yeah, that's why everyone calling 'Bama "soft" in this thread just has me rolling my eyes.

It's hard to re-train your brain to not play by the rules every other team has to abide by, so it's not like 'Bama can just start playing defense the same way to counter what UT is doing.
