What happened at Oklahoma? They are not good and beat us soundly. I don’t get it.

Why did the '90s Bulls ever lose a game? They were always the better team, right?

Because it's basketball. Way greater upset potential then football, especially on the road. And sometimes you just have bad shooting games. If you ever played competitively, you definitely understand. Combine the fact that we have some young players and key positions, and you're going to lose at least one road game that you shouldn't. That's why there hasn't been an undefeated national champion in decades.

There’s talk we’re getting one in Huntsville soon so I should be able to contribute.

I wish we could see a little more Pringle instead of Gurley.

What’s crazy is I think Gurley has played better this year than last when he was getting a lot more minutes. He’s playing well and it’s hard to find minutes for him because this team is so deep.

Pringle has had a good couple games. I'm also glad to see him getting more minutes. But because we are so deep, expect to see the rotation vary depending on our matchups.

---

I thought he was playing great earlier in the year, leading up to a few 20-minute games, and then suddenly he went through like a month of only seeing like 1-5 minutes.

At first I figured he was banged up a little bit because he sometimes wears a device that looks like a lower back stimulator during timeouts, but the way he's looked on the court, you have to wonder if he's just been in the doghouse for whatever reason.

When I was stuck working in bum frick Eastman, GA, i ended up eating Mexican food 12 out of 14 days in a row. Sometimes twice a day. But there was no other options besides shitty fast food. One thing I can say for certain, is no matter how high quality the Mexican food is (and they surprisingly had some really great Mexican food there), it definitely takes a toll. And good authentic Mexican food is some of my favorite cuisine. But damn, it'll get to you. So that arena better get built.

I have been going into each matchup lately with absolute inner pessimism. The reminder of what we were before Oats consistently creeping back in...I’ve already accepted that going into Tennessee after being crowned the new no. 1 is going to equal a loss. Especially how desperate the Vols are.

Hopefully that “expect the worst and hope for the best” mindset pays off again and we get the W.

Tbh I do really feel like we should win this game easily. Mizzou went in there and dominated for most of the game. Auburn was one shot away. Bama hasn’t allowed 70 pts in SEC play. If we continue that trend we’ll win in Knoxville.

This is a massive game regardless how comfortably in both teams are. We can’t let Tenn knock off another no. 1 Alabama team in Knoxville.

Almost been in tears over this number 1 ranking because of how far we've come...Bama literally had one foot in the grave just a few years ago but my gosh look how the TIDE has turned.

Just Amazing!

Congratulations to the Coaching Staff, the team, and all the FANS (New & Longtime)

We all need to enjoy this season!!
