I don't think expectations are the problem. We are going to lose games. I think the issue is with how these losses are coming. We seem to have a pattern of playing poorly in close games. For the past year or so the team plays consistently tight. Guys don't seem to be having fun, and we have 0 swagger. It's not like that's even paying off in terms of not making mistakes. This year in particular is the sloppiest we've looked in years. Florida wasn't really any better in terms of not making mistakes. They just sucked too much to take advantage of all the penalties and turnovers.

so how should losses "come"? Losses happen. They arent fun no matter how you slice it. Losses do not happen often for Alabama football. but THEY DO HAPPEN. The season isnt over, and we will win many more games this season.

i think its good that we lost to a good team early in the season. its losing the iron bowl or seccg that kills us.

we can certainly win out, but we do need the rebs to lose a couple games to avoid the dreaded tie breaker scenario. hell, if we win out and dont go to the seccg we probably still go to the 4man.

my biggest disappointment yesterday was oj. he played like crap. got penalties, dropped passes and let a 5'9 cb beat him for a game winner in the end zone.

wanna get better on the year? id start with oj howard.
