The chaos of tceh, bama and georgia all losing was very good for us. Worst beating for bama since 1998.

Certainly doesn't hurt our chances with recruiting some of the portal players we need.

Won't be surprised if there is a flood of portal entries from bama. That beatdown had to be very demoralizing and DeBoer's seat will be red hot. I also doubt the bama NIL donors will be very generous this year.

Helped destroy the perception by some recruits that if they sign with bama or georgia they are guaranteed to play in a national championship game. Certainly doesn't hurt our chances with recruiting some of the portal players we need.

Bama hasn't been in the national championship game since '21 and didn't make the playoffs two of the last three seasons. If anything this season was an improvement on recent past what with the SEC championship game and playoff win.

That beat down by Indiana is going to leave a mark, though. Actually a huge gash. The saban carry over effect at Bama is officially dead.

I bet the grumps are screaming for DeBoer's head. He continues to make boneheaded calls that Saban wouldn't ever think of calling. Early in the game they went for it on 4th down at their own 37 and were stopped. I believe 3 plays later Indiana scores their first TD of the game. That play opened the flood gates.

Somehow this sounds like siting in jail and laughing when a couple of your buddies get brought in too.

What Indiana has done is impressive, i didnt buy in, didnt think they had the talent to go against the big boys. Was absolutely wrong. Are they a mostly portalled team?

Hooray for moral victories!

We still lost to tu in a game we could have won and missed a shot at a SEC Championship. So how exactly was yesterday good?

I think it is worse than appears from just looking at their record this year. The team looked undisciplined, unfocused, frequently out of position, and poorly coached. As mentioned, some of the in-game calls were atrocious.

Deboer was exposed as being an above average, but not great coach. There's got to be a realization out there in gump-land that regardless of how many 5 stars they buy, they won't be able to buy enough to get to the top again with him at the helm.

They won't fire him for a long time, though, as they will always be in the hunt. They just won't get there. JMHO.

Are all four remaining teams coachs from Sabans tree?

Depends on how you define "Tree". Unlike the otherv three, Lanning never worked directly under Saban. He worked under Kirby Smart at Georgia who worked directly under Saban at Alabama.

yes. Qb is from Cal. You don't have one year turnarounds like tt and Indiana without buying it.

This term has been abused. It no longer means what it means. It is now equal to calling someone racist because they dont like pizza

I dont see Alabama donors short changing the football program anytime soon.

Maybe the math department, but not the football department

"Somehow this sounds like siting in jail and laughing when a couple of your buddies get brought in too."

If at start of year we were notified we would go 11-2 and have a home CFP, 90% of the fans would be very happy, regardless of who the 2 losses were to.

This team outperformed the expectations. If you can't just accept that and stop the *****ing comments then you need a fresh tampon and take two midol.

Most of their transfers are lower level guys. This is about coaching.

In other god news Chabliss might end up at the NFL combines instead of L$U

A chunk of the Ole miss roster if they make a run might never make it to Red Stick
