re: Bama fans....please be honest...no troll

Certainly does not feel worse than the loss to Ole Miss (either year).

LSU is a very good team and we lost my 5.

Ole Miss was a shitty team, so those losses hurt my pride more.

No, it feels like you had your best offense in at least a decade and still needed a fumble, interception, and special teams error to pull off a five-point victory.

Not saying that Bama beat themselves because LSU played a major factor in the nervousness that lead to the miscues and LSU did score 46 points all on their own, but this was no humiliating beat down like the Clemson loss.

If the roles were reversed, I don't think I'd be crowing as much as y'all are, but I understand why you are.

Well yeah, there is no such thing as an unstoppable offense. That's why you have defense. There's always a counter to exploit a team's weakness. With Auburn, it's their d line. That d line played good enough to get Coach O to go up to them after the game and freak the frick out in excitement for how well they played.

Ed "Rosy Finch Boyz" Orgeron are making better staff hires

I know it's easy to fall into the trap of making fun of Ed Orgeron, but let's not pretend the guy hasn't been involved with great programs. Miami in the 80's, USC in the 2000's, made a stop with the Saints, we all know about Ole Miss and Tennessee, etc. The guy knows a thing or two about coaching. His mentors are Jimmy Johnson and Pete Carroll. I'd say that's good company to have in the mentor column.

With recruiting, he personally recruited and put together those USC teams in the early to mid 2000's. He's responsible for getting talent at Ole Miss and Tennessee. The guy is a "recruit whisperer". That's what he's best known for. He has that thing that draws recruits in.

I'm not gonna sit here and try to one up Nick Saban with Ed Orgeron. But I will adamantly go toe to toe with anybody who looks at Ed Orgeron as simply a dumb lucky coonass who doesn't know shite - and tell you how ignorant you really are if you think that. Look at Wikipedia page and his experience/resume.

The old "har har you have a dumb coonass who can't talk right" shtick is beyond old. Ed Orgeron is finally showing the world what he can do, and I'm so fricking happy for him that he is.

For the most part, I've enjoyed the Bama fans on here getting real and giving honest replies. We don't expect you to be shaking in your boots about LSU. But I wouldn't go around thinking that LSU is gonna lay down and die and that this year was a fluke. It's no fluke, buddy. Bama may very well win a few more titles with Saban. But guess what, LSU is right fricking there too - minus the anitquated bullshite that Les Miles left us with that set us back for almost a decade.

It was a repeat of the entire year. Play 2 solid downs on defense and give up a play on third and long. Over and over again. Someone would blow an assignment or not fill a gap or something.

The tackling was terrible. We got 5 sacks but it easily could have been 7 or 8, we let the QB slip out of there when we should have had him.

Cover that running back and we win the game. Plain and simple. That and the QB runs. Goes back to ILB play that's been lacking all year. The WR's didn't kill us, those plays did.
