This team will get it turned around, don't you worry. This is just a slight hiccup like we thought it would be before the season started. Once all this talent gets on track it's going to be something special. So get your licks in while you can

I wish I felt as optimistic as you do, but I see no light at the end of the tunnel at all right now.

apparently people's sarcasm meter is on bye week

definitely gay

what are the good things? Speedy Noil, Myles Garrett when he tries, and our locker room?

Thought I'd post here to make it less gay

"We've never been licked!"

Jackie said it first,.. I agree that we will be awesome. Adversity builds champions.

Just as appropriate then as it is now. Hang tight and never quit

Between Fran and Sherm and now this debacle. If adversity builds champions. We should go undefeated for about 8 years.

By the way, this saying is stupid. Some teams suck. They suck forever. They do not get stronger because they suck. See Prairie View and their what 65 losses in a row? How strong did they get?

They did bounce back and for a brief, brief period of time ran roughshod through their conference when they got the right coach.

He bailed quickly, but still; they turned it around.

When I was in school back in the '80's, Jackie sherrill said the same thing. That tough sob backed up his talk and sure enough we started kicking the crap out of the old swc foes after a couple of years.

Just pounding them on the ground and through the air. The foundation of the wrecking crew.

The good ol days.

Said every year since 1939.....SMH

So lame. This is as bad as wait til next year.

Not saying we won't turn it around but this is more than a slight hiccup.

Was fortunate enough to visit with Jeremiah Castille before the game for a while. Jeremiah is Alabama's chaplain for the team. Awesome dude and he played for Bryant, went on to the NFL and has two sons that played in the NFL- currently works with Saban. I asked him if he sees any similarities between Bryant and Saban and he said the main one was that Saban works those kids so hard in practice. More interested in the character development than anything. He said he never lets up, doesn't matter who they're playing and has high expectations and doesn't let anyone slide- including his coaches. He knows Sumlin and likes him alot. He said that in his opinion A&M will rise up once we learn that we can't ever take a week off in the SEC. He said it's just a natural learning process and it takes some time but we have to go through this process to get there. In his opinion Alabama doesn't come close in facilities, proximity resources of talent as Texas A&M. Nothing earth shattering I know, just thought I'd share with ya'll that he predicts we will rise up.

That's good bull

Remember when Fran made the Jackie throwback "get your licks in" quote in 2003? Texags ate that **** up.

Op ....love you brah......but get a cat! We sucked beyond sucking Saturday!

I'm sure Auburn will get a few licks in....and maybe even take a bite or two.

Translation of opening post:


"Wait 'till next year!"

My dad was an Ag, so between 18 years watching him suffer before I signed up, and the 30 years since I was there, I've heard it about a million times.

I still have faith and I think Sumlin is the right guy, but he needs to stop talking about how good the team is and prove it. It's looking more and more like it really was Johnny's team.

ANd just so it doesn't look like i am blaming it ALL on Sumlin, where is the player leadership on this team? The QB is a freshman, so why aren't seniors or juniors stepping up and LEADING?

I've watched this team struggle to find it's identity for decades now, and they still seem to be searching.

Ha I like how you qualified this with the word "slight". As if calling a 59-0 loss a hiccup was a tad too harsh...
