Because I love this team. They weren’t the best but they played hard and fought and overcame all obstacles.

It hurts

Its not for me. We made it further than I thought we would.

I thought we'd blow Michigan out but once I saw how the first half went I knew we were in trouble. But it prepared me for the possibility we may lose.

Same here.
Was never a huge fan of this team except for the SEC champ game, and were lucky to win IB. Just not a very good team, but hey SEC Champs right?

The painful part is that they got us all bought in to simply revert back to what we hated in the first few weeks of the season. Offensive line sucks, play calling sucks, get a chance to kick a field goal and seal the game; QB decides to fumble, he also sucks. On the last drive they had in the game, our defense literally played gutless out there. We are in year 6-7 of building a defense with an attitude that calls game for us. I haven’t gotten mad at a game all year, tonight I’m pretty pissed.

This team was awful to watch. I'm just glad it's finally over and more damage wasn't done

Milroe was badly exposed tonight.

He needs to put some major work in the offseason or we need to have a legit open competition again.

That was a god awful performance.

It’s not all on him. It never is all on the QB. But he was pretty bad.

Same. It was a fun year.

I felt like we'd adjust in the 2nd half and we did. We didn't drive the field late for a TD when it meant the most, but then they did. I felt like we were in trouble then.

They made championship plays in championship moments. We didn't.

This team overachieved. The fact we were one stop from playing for a natty is amazing. We won the SEC. Undefeated SEC season.
Having said that it is clear Rees needs to go and our center should never see the field again. He is a huge reason we lost tonight. Just terrible at game 14 he showed zero improvement thru the year.

Has nothing on the 2016 loss to clemsom.

That football team was full of some of the best guys to ever come through and to lose on the last play thatvwas an illegal pick play made me sick.

This team is not very good, and had to get lucky to make the playoff.

No stars. No super elite RB, WR, or QB. The offense and OC was painful tocwatch all season. Glad its a new team next year

"I was not a fan of the team until they won."


Bama has so many bandwagon fans. I'm super proud of this team for what they accomplished.

We have came so far since Auburn used to own us and the future looked bleak AF.

This is a 3 out of 10 loss for me. Now the Ed Scissum fumble game... that was a 10.

I’m an alumnus bud, and I can be a super fan of my team, while not blindly loving its team makeup. Some of us can differentiate between loyalty and blind fandom, sorry if you can’t, but that’s not my problem, that’s your problem.

What?! How old are you? GTFO here. “Own us”? K bro.

I hate that we lost to a team that 100% cheated all season. The way ESPN tried after the final play to make the head coach getting suspended twice for cheating into something positive and honorable made me sick.

shite, not even close man. This team over achieved big time. As far as I'm concerned everything after Atlanta was just a bonus.

A very un-elite Alabama team won the conference and made it to the playoff. There's nothing at all painful about this loss. In fact, this is the sorta loss you make peace with.
