Maybe one good thing about the 24 team playoff (which I hate) will be a return to big OOC games since a loss would be less potentially damaging.
1. LSU isn't Georgia. 2. The D line yesterday for Bama was different from the UT game.
Pretty sure you didn't play UGA the week before. That game was so vicious (not dirty) that both teams were crap the next week and both lost.

To be fair, they didn't leave after the third quarter like they usually do.
Here is an idea - have your HC and staff go out and recruit your own players and develop them. That's how you make a team, but it's A lot harder than just throwing money at portal players so Lane won't likely go that way.
One should NEVER make too much over a first game win. Or loss.
For excitement, Lane - there will always be drama. For stability, CBK. For winning football, who knows.

Wow, A thread about refs that doesn't include LSU or the REC.
DeBoer is going to have Robert Downey Jr walk into Vandy's stadium wearing his Iron Man uni. Then we'll look cool like Lane.
That's not in the same universe as the PI no call in our UGA game.

He prolly learned that "posse" crap when he was at USC where celebs were everywhere.
You left out the SEC office being in Birmingham and the REC's mysterious power to control refs.
I think the CFPC sent a pretty strong message that who you play counts, and for better or worse Sankey has us all playing tough schedules. The Big 10 does not like their traditional plan of playing, at most, two hard games a year and no tough out of conference games (Indiana, that is. OSU played Texas). Cignetti does not want to have to face an SEC likes schedule year in and year out.
We lost our center and L guard, the replacement OL was pretty bad. It all depends on who plays, or doesn't, as to which version you get. :cheers:
As a hard core Bama fan, I strongly dislike AU and Tennessee, but LSU is different. Bama - LSU has produced some absolutely great games, and I think the teams respect each other. I think the fans do too, although they rarely admit it on this website. I will deny ever saying this, but I respect LSU football too, and it is a shame they are ending the series.
For Alabama, we were devastated by injuries after the UGA game (center, guard, DB's, DL) and then Ryan got hurt too. The problem was the drop off of the 2's was huge, as you could see vs Tenn. I suspect that good players who would have been our second string are starting somewhere else and getting paid. We just don't have quality depth, I can't speak for the rest of you baws.
Kiffin/LSU are the guy who goes into a bar, throws a punch, and then complains when someone kicks his arse.

1. Alabama 53.8M


People watch Alabama every week for one or more of three reasons:
1. They love us and want to see us win.
2. They hate us and want to see us lose.
3. They understand that you have no freaking idea what you might see when you watch us, it's always a surprise.

Just FYI, the Bama - UGA game averaged 12.2 million viewers with a peak viewership of 14 million. Those are crazy numbers.
Over on the tiger rant they are saying it's what they wanted all along lol.
When you look at the non SEC teams' SOS in the top 25, it tells the story.
