Is it really true that someone threw a brick through Bill Curry’s window after a loss ?

The lack of physicality and fundementals from the front 7 is inexcusable. That FSU offense is completely re tooled, new oline, new qb, new coordinator. That was the first time they have ever played together in a game. And they ran it right down our throats. I dont remember them throwing the ball more than 4 times the entire second half.

And they weren’t that far off. We lost 4 games and were seconds away from losing a fifth against South Carolina.

It absolutely is true. It was against Ole Miss in 1988 and Alabama had the game in hand despite the QB’s going 0-11 passing that day. That’s right, 0 yards passing. Alabama gave up 2 TD’s in the final 46 seconds of the game and lost 22-12 despite being ahead 12-0 in the 3rd. And if I remember correctly, it was homecoming.

The selfish, boneheaded penalty by James Smith was the breaking point. As bad as we had played up to that point, we had them stopped and then he decided to make a mistake that ended up costing us the game. If Keenan weren’t out with injury I would suspend Smith for that play. This team has no discipline. No accountability.

It absolutely is true.


I've read that the glass indicated the window was broken from the inside. Don't know if that's true or not.

As crappy as we'd played, there was a glimmer of hope until that. Inexcusable for that type of BS.

I wouldn't dress him out next game. Play a walk on if you have to. Probably get better effort anyway.

I think it is. While it was initially blamed on the fans, the rumor was it was actually a staff member who threw the brick from the inside.

At least we didn't throw generational wealth at Curry to leave.

When that billion dollar stadium is half full by mid season, something will happen.

Curry threw the brick himself.

Bobby Bowden wanted the job but Joab Thomas wanted Curry.

How much value did Ryan Williams add to Bama yesterday with his performance?

What does it tell you they had to send a DB to get pressure?

It’s wild. Just don’t get how this guy can’t figure out a package to combat it. If they’re getting 5 yards a carry and you’re in dime on 3rd and 2, I’m not sure what you’re fricking expecting them to do besides run it


Yeah 3 and long, Bama has 8 DBs in and they run a reverse for a TD

"Lethargic" is exactly the right word for the defense yesterday. Not that I think it actually happened but it was to the point where I actually thought, did all these guys smoke weed in the locker room before they ran on the field?

I don't remember the last time I saw our defense jogging to the play or just flat out standing back and watching so often. It was absurd. I can deal with guys trying their best and getting beat, but so much of yesterday was just not even giving effort.

People keep talking about the front 7, I don't think the secondary was very good at all. Got blistered by a squirrel, people were open, and Bray couldn't tackle. He was one of my biggest disappointments

Pure FR on Squirrel early in the game was a boneheaded decision.
