Any team that plays an aggressive zone defense and has mediocre offensive telent will beat Bama handily. Bama has some athletes that create scoring opportunities against man-to-man D, but they were clueless against the zone.



We've been seeing aggressive zone defenses all year, albeit not for an entire game like AU employed last night. We had an off night shooting the basketball. It happens.

We do struggle against the zone at times, but we also have success against it at times.

My mother, lol, turned around and told the old guy, "If honoring a 4 loss team because they knocked Alabama out of NC is all you barners have to do, you really need to find another sport to get behind because thats just pathetic."

What did ole Mom have to say about killing 100 year old trees because bammer choked away their chance to knock Auburn out of the NC.
I bet mom is real proud of the "Updyke Nation".

As for the officiating, they didn't call a 'bad game' they just called it 'loose'. As Alabama gets ready for the NCAA's that's not the worst thing in the world.

You can have all of the scouting reports and film/video of every team,but the wildcard is how will the game be played. Alabama could get a favorable draw/match-up but be assigned officials who all but swallow their whistles. You need to prepare for that, which includes Grant making sure Green doesn't let his emotions get too carried away.

What? There were whistles everytime down the floor. How many free throws did Bama have? Wasn't it close to 40?

My mother agreed with me that it was a despicable act but that its shelf life us up and people need to shut up about it because our state has become the laughing stock of the rest of the country.... again.

The point had nothing to do with trees and choking away a chance to knock yall out of a NC.

Would have we been happy if we had kept you out of Glendale? Absolutely. Would you have heard a single person in that stadium talking about honoring a team for it? Absolutely not.

Nice attempt at a deflection though. You aubs are getting pretty good at that.

No, you all would have been naming your children Julio, Trent, Nick or Saban. Never mind, you are doing that anyway.

Dont act like Auburn fans arent just as retarded about their love of football as we are. It just makes you look more hypocritical. But as stated, not the issue. Another nice attempt at a deflection though.

To be fair, I think the mother stopped him from naming anyone Ally Bama, but I am going to pretend she exists anyway.

Your issue was "You barners just try too hard to screw over alabama so you can take credit for it. It's really quite sad." I was trying to show how you bammers act in the same situation.

But we dont, our retardedness, as pointed out by WDE, is much different. And we are talking about Auburn right now, not Bama.


EDIT: Wait a minute, did I just deflect? Godamnit im hanging around with you Aubs too much.

For full disclosure purposes, my daughter's middle name is Aubrey, but we named her that because that is where me and my wife met...not because of the football team.

Yes. AU had 4 players foul it. Is it really necessary for one team to foul that much?

We can agree on this. It was really, really....... REALLY bad. I'm glad I didnt get to watch it cause just hearing about how bad it was is bad enough.
