I hope some of you had to much to drink.

I’m a fan because I enjoy the game and it’s entertainment. I post here because I enjoy it and it’s entertaining.

This team is attempting a 3 peat as SECChamps and trying to make the CFP championship game for the third year in a row, and hopefully winning 2 out of 3.

I knew the WR corps was going to be a problem unless someone really stepped up, which they failed to do today.

I was more optimistic with the OL, but they were not very good today either.

I knew Texas was much better than most on here believed, and a Vegas point spread doesn’t mean a thing other than setting a differential that will get half the ignorant public masses to bet on one team and the other half on the other team.

I thought we would win by 7-9 points, but we have no deep threat so far. Bond dropped a pass that hit him right in the hands and Prentiss made a mistake on a route that caused the pass to be behind him. Both would have been big first downs. Those are correctable.

Last year, I think Saban did one of his better coaching jobs by winning the SEC and making the playoff with that OL and the injuries we had. I’m optimistic that he can get us there yet again.

I disagree totally that a loss is what we needed. Sometimes you can grow more by overcoming in a situation like today. Sometimes maybe a loss is, but just because fans spend hours upon hours on message boards obsessing about a sport doesn’t mean they know which situation will cause a team to grow the most.

The thread started from a perspective that Saban is fading.

Has he lost a step? Probably, he’s 70. But he’s still better than almost every coach out there.

I agree with George, the concerning thing is it did feel like Florida or LSU from last year, but I will enjoy the drama of how another college football season unfolds watching the best who has ever done it coach Alabama.

Saban is not above criticism, but the sky screaming in this thread which followed a divisive OP implying that Saban was now Paterno or Bowden at the end of their tenures makes some of you look like what fans of other SEC teams call Bammers.
