re: Alabama football needs a cold, hard slap in the face (AL.com)

You’re proving his point. It’s everyone else’s fault.

Which is it? Alabama always claims it beats itself, aka saying it's their fault always or it's everyone else's fault?

I love that Alabama fans think they are entitled to positive coverage from local news.

Might have more weight if it made sense.

Thank You William for spreading the truth.

I get threatened with bans when I say anything negative about the bammers.

10-4 over and out.

I'm simply sharing a legitimate article. And I'm not writing the stuff. The #1 publication in Alabama is writing it. An actual news source.

While other fans scrub LSU's Twitter account for silly pictures.

I don’t expect them to be mouth pieces. I expect them to praise when it’s necessary and scold when it is needed. But this is the only drivel Goodman puts out. The Paul finebaum and Kevin scarbinsky school of journalism.

You don't get it.

It's always something or someone else. Internal or external, it's always something Alabama did. It's no leadership or no focus or the game plan or preparation.

No. You just aren't as good as Clemson.

After 8 years maybe Loseranna State will give that slap?

Then again maybe just another billboard.

I'm a competitor and I do the exact same things in my competitions.

I maintain a list of things that need to be done so that I can improve. I examine and watch over the replays of the matches and I make notes of faults and errors that were made that contributed to the loss or success.

I do not maintain a list of those who do things better than me, or are better than me. I don't make notes when the opponent did something great that I had no control over.

And if you ask me what happened in the match, then I'll talk about those faults and the need to improve them.

Guess what? Everyone else who has success does the exact same thing. The people who don't usually fade away as losers - for obvious reasons.

So I for one am happy that Saban identified the problems correctly, and then went to work to fix those things.

And you're upset because you want to keep celebrating the last game and reality is only a month and a half a way.

Alabama does not have as easy a path to the playoffs as Clemson, but it isn't tough either. Georgia and Clemson laid out a blueprint on how to go to battle with Alabama. I am sure Alabama will be Alabama and do their thing and the fans will be fans that we love to hate. It is why college football is the best.

Miss St defense gave Clemson good material.

Since Clemson played the #100 SoS last year, nobody ever provided material against Clemson.

So that's all true to an extent.

But that's just the way shite goes. Alabama had access to the same information and shouldn't have been surprised that Clemson exploited those weaknesses. Coaching failure.

See.......

This is when Nick Saban and Alabama are genuinely dangerous.

They go on a tear for two years, and everybody thinks they're the greatest team ever and then they drop one nobody sees coming. To Utah, Auburn has done it to them a couple of times, OSU, Clemson, whoever.

Then people something like 'they're overrated' or 'they need a slap in the face' and they just start tearing people apart, and it's rinse and repeat on this process.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised to see them just run through everybody this season. This article comes from an Alabama website? I wouldn't be surprised to see it come from a fanboy who noticed this pattern as well and is trying to give them some bulletin board material.
