And let's not forget the mighty SEC isn't the NFL-lite juggernaut it pretends to be. This decade, the conference is 26-24 in bowl games. That’s barely over .500. Time to stop treating geography like it's some hidden cheat code for football success.


I find it hilarious people in this thread saying Deboer can’t consistently win in the SEaC, hell he can’t even beat a mediocre ACC team.
FSU could have added another score last Saturday if they wanted. It was not a fluke, it wasn’t a freak occurrence, it was an old fashioned arse whipping.
Throw in the fact he’s 5-5 over the last 10 games. That 41-34 win over Georgia on Milroe’s accidental back shoulder throw to Ryan Williams was looong ago.
Bama has played a lot of shitty football since then.

Scotty this is 2025 and all the teams are different now with different personnel. Judging by last weekend 2025 Bama is not as good as 2024 Bama.

Learned my lesson in 97, I’d never bet on or against a Dubose squad.

I wouldn't be the least surprised. I think the coaching staff plan/play up to competition and simply ignore anything perceived as lesser competition. It actually makes sense looking at last year and FSU. Stupid sense, mind you.

That’s been a tough one to swallow.

In the losses, one thing has felt very obvious. The opponents were going to score whatever number they needed to win. If we had 34, FSU would have scored 35.

I’ll take the bet. Dubose, oops I mean DeBoer, can’t get his teams up to play Vandy or Oklahoma on the road. What makes you think they’ll be ready for UGA in Athens?


The team played well against LSU last year in the toughest away venue in the country. The problem is these players don’t get hyped if it’s not a big-time ranked team.

Upon further review...

Ive watched numerous breakdowns of those who have watched film. The issues Bama has are worse than I initially though. I still do think Bama beats UGA...simply because of matchups this year...but the lack of preparation for this game just doesnt seem to be a one time mistake kinda thing. It seems to be a huge flaw in the fundamental way you coach. I thought Pete Golding was absolute trash...but at least it was a schematic and personnel deficiency and not pure laziness

To those that "accepted" the ban bet...do not ban yourself if Bama wins that game. I will take the season off commenting on this board if they do lose. Yeah a change needs to happen. Womack just is not gonna cut it as a big time SEC coordinator. I think the offense is correctable...but the burden of proof is on them. The FSU game was "put up or shut up" so we are some level past that. Maybe "youve been left for dead, maybe by some miracle you make it out alive"

Wins vs Georgia and LSU arent enough

I'm in and I'm guessing if you're wrong you will leave the board, right?
