I can understand your sentiment. Tonight showed just what kind of a ticking time-bomb this team was. There were glaring holes along the front seven of the defense which were never fully masked over as the season came along. The middle of the defensive line is and continues to be the Achilles heel of the defense. Recruiting misses are beginning to show because Ivory and Lake just haven't developed into sufficient anchors. Little to zero depth behind them. Stinson is a veteran who has put on weight to play end. Pagan has played better. Allen and Robinson are two bright spots for the future. Tomlinson could be a solid contributor post-recovery, but will it ever be anything more than from the outside as a pass rusher?

This says nothing of the cornerback depth. GOOD GOD. For a unit that is supposedly coached by the head coach himself, it is sorely lacking in nearly ever aspect.

I made the comment in the recruiting thread the other day concerning recruiting misses over the past couple of years, and I stand by my statements. Outstanding play by a few individuals this season has diverted the casual fan's attention anyway from the structural cracks in the defense. Here's to hoping Jackson and M. Smith wake up to provide competition at the cornerback spot in the spring.

I cringe at the thought of who will step in at the linebacker spot next year to hold DePriest's hand.

The very day some of us found out football is a game, a spectator sport. Discussion is allowed. This isn't a re-emerged Third Reich.

I agree with LD. We had scares all season just waiting for when this may happen. I think most UA fans are more frustrated with the potential of this team and it never came out. Not really the loss. It is what it is and whatever happens, happens.

What we know is the SEC will more than likely not be playing for the BCS. AU, USC, or Mizzou, one of those 3 will be in the Sugar Bowl. UA should get a BCS at large and I would think against Clemson, since the Orange gets to pick when FSU plays for the title.

We all want UA to win every year.

We lost to a much less talented one dimensional team. We reserve the right to be pissed off when everything was on the line.

Oh I'm pissed too. That doesn't mean that I wouldn't cheer like a motherfricker if we made it to the BCSNCG.


We need 3 games to make that a possibility. One is on right now.

Why do I feel like we won't be in contention anytime soon? We have Blake Sims next year or maybe Del Rio. This almost feels like the end of the end in the Bama streak. We will still be good, but I don't see us making a title run until at least 2015 or 2016.

My God. I guess all of you forgot the past two seasons. We didn't run the table then either.

We didn't piss it away in the final game either.

This was the iron bowl with everything to play for. I'm tired of seeing the attempted rationalization. No excuse to lose to that team. None.

There is no excuse for losing that game.

It doesn't mean that we wouldn't whip Florida State's arse either.

Three games. Ole Ball Coach is doing his job. JFF is too.

What's the third game? Because even if TAMU and USCe win, we still need either OSU, the fricking Barners, or FSU to lose.

MSU has to beat OSU, and Duke has to beat FSU. We would play the SEC champion. I think we will be #5 tomorrow.

I guess I'm on Duke's bandwagon for this week.
