People saying McElroy doesn't like Bama are insane.

He literally won a national championship as the starting QB.

Just because he's not Roll Tide Willy screaming about how Bama is going to kick arse doesn't mean he's not a fan. He's got a job that requires him to sometimes be critical, and that's fine.

It's like family. Do I agree with all the decisions made by my family? No. Do I criticize them sometimes? Yes. Am I still intensely loyal to them even in times that I am unhappy with them? Yes.

That's how logical, loyal fans act. The love is there at all times. Doesn't mean it's sunshine and roses everyday.

This, plus he called Shank and apologized directly. He admitted that he was emotional and said some stupid things.

The funny thing is is that people on here will rail on our players, coaches, team, program, etc. without thinking twice. But when McElroy has an opinion that might not be pro-Tide, people want to act like he hates Bama.

If you've ever listened to him and Cubelic's show in the morning then you'd know that the dude is a Bammer through and through.

I agree. I listen to him and Cublic driving to work every day. Gmac has been about as positive about Ala football as anyone lately. And at the start of the coaching search, Gmac said there were 4 candidates, but only one was being seriously considered, and that was the one we hired. Gmac said Alabama would not pay the 30 million buy out for Lanning. He said Alabama could not out bid Texas for their coach, so he was eliminated, and he said for some reason Ala fans dont want the fsu coach, and that does matter in a coaching search. He said from day one, the Washington coach was the target. This morning he went on and on about how big the Williams commitment was. Cole Cublic is the one that you can hardly tell is an auburn fan--most of the time.

Huge difference between not being Roll Tide willy and being anti-Alabama at EVERY turn. Absolutely no reason to go after Taylor other than he was triggered by someone defending Alabama.

Take him off the pre-game highlight montage NOW. Benedict Arnold was a highly respected officer before he did what he did.
