And what were you in High School. The lower who got beat up and crammed in a locker?


I was a three sport athlete when I was in HS. But I knew it didn't mean shite when I went to College. I learned a long time ago, nobody gives a shite what you did in HS or what college football team you rooted for. And those who live vicariously thru those College Football Teams are the saddest people of all. The ones that think their superior to another person based on the team they root for are the ones that are fun to frick with. Most of the time I do not think they believe the crap they say, but you have to when dealing with Alabama Fans.

I didn't say he was, but they wouldn't have won it without him. McElroy and Bama won after McCoy was injured, even then it was a close game.


Who are you referring when u say he, Ingram or mccaron? Although bama teams rely on running back they always had depth so they never had to rely on one. If one got injured they had the depth to replace a rb with another that includes their heisman running backs. Could you say the same for those other teams with their qbs. Look at what happened to FSU this past season when their qb went down, so did their season. That could have easily happened to auburn in 2010, FSU in 2013 and Clemson in 2017.

The 2011 team was won on the back of the defense as opposed to mccaron’s talent. Similarly 2012 had lots of returns from offense and defense and that made a bigger impact than just one sole player.

Also if u are saying one injury to Texas is why we won then the same argument can be made in the last iron bowl when bama was banged up on defense. Again not one injury but multiple injuries in one position.

Injuries play a part in football. I have no doubt Alabama's injuries affected them against Auburn. In the same vein being healthy was a benefit against uga.

Auburn was a good team this year, but didn't have the depth to overcome the injuries we sustained. We've had years when we lucked up on the injury bug and years like 2017.
