His biography says "Bear Bryant was a terrible coach."

So tell me what it takes to be a great defense. Since #1 in nearly every category isn't good enough for your expert eyes. I'll hang up and listen.


Clearly statistically you were a good def, but you werent close to as good as your even your 2005 def.

Fawxie is actually half right. We need to just own up and say they beat us, straight up, on our home field.

The other half of that coin is that A&M fans need to grow up and stop trying to call that game a "blow out" and "arse whipping" and all the other insecure characterizations. A&M won. They deserved to win. They almost let us take it back.


I honestly haven't seen any A&M fan say it was a "blow out" or an "arse whipping". I think we were the better team that day, but it was a hard fought game.

Please be trolling, because you can't be that stupid.

I agree to stop calling it a blowout unless it is in direct response to y'all not owning up to it.

doesn't change my point. we had a legit chance to win that game.



"legit chance to win" =/= "giving the game away".

I'll certainly acknowledge that you had an opportunity to win, but we took that game. You didn't give it to us.

You obviously haven't been here that long because some of your brethren act like it was a blow out and say we have no shot this year...could be trolling...but it has been said multiple times.

Somehow that shiny crystal football eases any concerns I had about that so-so defense



Thanks for this. Now had you had to go to UGA , UF or had USC at home , do you think this so-so defense would've coughed up another loss?


Look this run Bama is on, IMO is top 5 run ALLTIME , but to act like you have this run because of being just a better program is stupid. Your on this run because of luck.

I definitely have. Usually in direct response to straight up gumpin, but sometimes it is unwarranted.

I guess the average gump can be excused for thinking we should have won when we had Aggie on its goal line prepared to punch in the go ahead score....you were held to nine points for 3 quarters....

Aggie made the plays to win the game and no one is taking that away from you.....crystal ball is still in Tuscaloosa so I will take it and we will see what happens in September....and I like our chances.

Bama's 2005 def was the shite. You just had zero offense which put that def on its heels.

Luck is part of the game.....but Bama is not here based on luck...it's because they field an elite team each year.

This one is even better. Luck has produced a 68-13 record since 2007 (39-9 in the SEC). Three SEC West titles, two SEC titles, and three national titles. Numerous award winners, All-Americans, and NFL draft picks among many other accomplishments. That's a whole like of luck. Glad we have it.

Trolling is one thing.

If someone was serious when they made that claim... well, they were wrong.

That was a smoke and mirrors team, both offensively and defensively. Some solid players that went on to have good NFL careers, but absolutely no depth. They don't top any unit Nick Saban has fielded at Alabama, sans the 2007 version.
