Can’t base anything on last season. Every season things change.

Could be one of the following: A&M, Auburn, LSU, and dare I say... Tennessee.


Never know, South Carolina might sneak up on them. I’m just staying I believe that Clemson has showed everyone that bama can bleed. Clemson gave us all the blueprint. They are not untouchable. Things will change. Bama had a damn good 2018 SEC run, but I don’t see it being that dominant in 2019. I expect Saban to go back to power running. Less deep shots.

But that was last season. Can't base anything on last season's loss to Clemson. Right?

Yea I guess that’s a good point. All I’m saying is you better expect that game to effect the way teams see bama.

Most of the time especially with LSU, bama has the game won before they even take the field. It’s a mental thing. I saw something Monday night that I’ve never seen with them. They looked very bad. They looked very un-extraordinary. Just saying.

Clemson wasn’t the favorite claiming to be the greatest team of all time last year. And Clemson still lost by almost half of what y’all did this year.

See the difference?

Hopefully it’s to LSU & A&M. Leaving that final game of the year a meaningful winner takes all game.

I member when Shula beat Saban something like 31-0.

Didn’t he turn LSU around pretty quickly?

You are confused with your mom - she was reclining at my place last night. She says you are an idiot.

Alabama was really good this year, but even Alabama fans will tell you that there were plenty of times this season where there was some very un-Saban type moments. Arkansas game, Citadel tie a the half, defensive issues. If Tua wasn't the QB Alabama probably would have lost 3 games this year.

If Tua stays healthy, Bama will have another good year. Something tells me Saban will try to revert somewhat more back to a power offensive team. It helps their season doesn't really start until October 12th.

I seriously doubt that. They have the top ranked class coming in. The key is if he can attract good coaches.

We can all hope, but I doubt we have seen the last.

So the 29 point shutout at home isn't a program changing beatdown? Strange logic.

Have you seen Bama's schedule, would is going to beat them twice? LSU has zero chance.

This is a poor attempt at a burn, but I’ll play along.

My mom is 85 and ailing.
However, my dad has been dead 12 years, so I’m sure she was ready for some action.

I hope y’all enjoyed yourselves, and I apologize that she probably shite all over your matress and sheets.

Can agree with that. Probably one of the worst 14-win teams in quite some time.

The problems were on defense. Alabama has lost 15 DEFENSIVE players to the last two NFL drafts plus another undrafted guy who is a starting rookie corner (Levi Wallace). May "only" lose 3-4 to NFL on defense this year.

The top 6 DBs from last years team were gone and then the top corner this year had a season ending injury early on (along with a couple other season ending injuries in the front 7).

For the first time in a long time Alabama was very inexperienced and thin on defense and that was matched with a first year defensive coordinator who frankly didn't seem ready and was a big drop off from Kirby/Pruitt.

Will this be the new norm for Bama's defense or was this just the valley in the defensive cycle due to the combo of unprecedented 2 year NFL attrition + coaching turnover + injury all on one side of the ball? We will see in 2019.
