True but there was plenty time and the gap did get closed. I don't know. Saban&co. know a lot more than me. But with Yeldon and Lacy and that OL...run it, imo.


I can think of a few different scenarios about why he didn't do this, but all involve thinking ahead and making decisions on potential rather than the actual reality of the way the game was going. It was infuriating to watch.

Like when a girl dates a guy who is really smart and has lots of money making schemes but who is still living in his parents' basement.

You can't date for potential, and you can't coach for potential. Each way, you run a huge risk of ending up with a loser.

The real question everyone should be asking is "How big of a come apart will the SEC or better yet Bama haters have when everything falls into place and suddenly Bama is in the title game in Miami?"

Yay! Another thread of Saban analysis done by a run of the mill LSU fan.

We sure need more of those...

This wasn't that bad of a loss for my psyche, in terms of losses. We have a good coach, we've got good players for the next few years, we've won BCS Championships, and I get to throw away my good luck outfit and forge another one that is cuter and more fun.

And I don't date on potential. Prove it or lose it baby.

If UA wins ATL and 2 of 3 undefeated s lose, I wouldn't think anyone. Same for UGA if they win.

In all seriousness, Bama's D is built different. They are very good, but not as quick as LSU/Fla. I think Oregon would put 40 on Bama this year. No flame or dis on Bama.


Yep. Said all along Bama didn't match up well against the hurry up spread offense. Oregon would've been the one team I think in the top 3 that would've given Bama fits had they made it to Miami.

4. Refusing to follow the offensive blueprint to beat A&M. Pound the ball, milk the clock and keep it away from JFF.


kind of surprised he went pass heavy. Didnt make a ton of sense IMO.
Be patient and wait for the 4th...

Dammit. No-nonsense and football aficionado. Can you knock down a Michelob by day and Chardonnay by night?

Truth. But it also gets players to take personal aggressive responsibility for dominating their man.

Question? If Freeze is truly joining in on the Process and bringing Sabanology to OM ... Does that mean we get even more left over Recruits?

a) to bring us back to the thread....

b) A man that rock the Cupid Shuffle is a man worth grabbing. I will ALWAYS find my way to the dance floor if there is a dance floor on the premises. My only thing is that I will NEVER be in the universal group of women on every dance floor that all dance together because they have no men to dance with.
