Alabama looked solid but what’s up with all of the showboating?

I’ve never seen Alabama dancing around and running up to the crowd, etc after a TD while up 40 points

I’m not knocking it but it was odd seeing this. It’s clear Nick Saban did not allow that shite but the new coach does.

It reminded me of watching an old school Miami game from back in the day

Alabama looked pretty damn lethal on offense - yup, Western Kentucky but BAMA looked very solid to me.

Let's see how that works out.

Different coach, different standards. Saban was a strict disciplinarian who believed the "fun" was in "the winning." Kalen DeBoer lets his guys cut loose during the game and showboat a little more. There's no right or wrong way to do it so long as the results remain similar.

It's up to the coach how he wants his players to behave.

Nick Saban had his way. DeBoer has his.

Alabama was criticized that Saban was too old school and stodgy at times.

Now Alabama is too loose.

Which should it be?

Maybe DeBoer will listen to you. We'll see.

I’m not knocking it at all. It looked like the players were loose as a goose and were all just having a blast out there. I just never saw that with a Nick Saban team

I remember Norwood doing a flip after a TD against Pedo State in 2010. He didn't play for the rest of the season.

It’s something I’ve rarely seen from my team in the last 2 decades, i guess it’s something I’ll have to get used to because it looks like CKD has no problem with it.

I remember a lot of this shite from the Sugar Bowl in 1993:

I'm more partial to the one from the year before where he is chewing McCarron's arse out after a poor performance on third down against Mississippi State. Chewed his arse out as they walked to the sideline and then smacked him on the arse as he finished up.

Don’t get all the hate of Milroe by people. Most dangerous player in the conference.

Alabama players have always run to the fans after scoring. Also allmof the photographers are in the endzone so the kids always pose there for pics. This is a part of their life and everything they do is captured for memories players have photographers assigned to them to capture their moments on film.

As long as the coaches make it plain that as long as they don’t get a 15 yd penalty it will be tolerated. A non sportsman like penalty and you will run gassers at practice Tuesday.
If you watched last nite LSU got 15 yds for a hotdog shooting a shotgun at a usc player after he made a td. Very unnecessary.

No LSU fan is happy about that stupid shite.

If Kelly had any balls, that kid is puking right now.
