Plus the fluke at the end of the Georgia game, without which I don't believe the goobs have the motivation or intestinal fortitude to even compete with Alabama in the Iron Bowl. That tipped passed against UGA gave them the belief that they could beat anybody. Unfortunately, I think they will probably beat the Seminoles. Hope I'm wrong.
Who Thinks This Year Has Been A Failure ?
- Thread starter Tideflyer
- Start date
What speaks volumes about our program and the expectations of excellence in the air. We were on probation of some sort 70% of the time, 20 years, 1992 to 2012 but still averaged a NC every 5 years. Alabama is a force.
I think it was a kick right in the gut. And we will see how hungry they are to take some pain out on Oklahoma and carry over into next year.
I actually like Mike & Mike...they are both mostly NFL guys, but they do offer some interesting perspective.
I don't live in Alabama any longer...from the outside, I completely understand why people would think that Bama fans see the season was a failure. Did you happen to catch some of the comments and melt down occurring on social media after the Iron Bowl? It sounded like some wanted to run Saban out of town...
No BCS Championship
No SEC Championship
No SEC West Division Championship.
We lost the one game that cost us all three of those team goals.
11 (potentially 12) wins is hardly a failure...but if someone told you in September that we would not accomplish any of the 3 above, you would think the season was a disaster. As it played out, it clearly was not a disaster, but 1 game that sunk the ship. That plays right into Saban's teaching and focus on finishing and focusing on your individual job for every game.
Not a failure in my mind...but I get why some think that...

I don't consider it a failure. 11-1 is never a failure. Missing the NC game isn't really a failure either, despite being so close. But what is really annoying is, being the best, most dominating team in the conference over the last 6yrs and having only 2 SEC Championships to show for it. It just doesn't speak to how great we have been. Going 11-1 and coming away with nothing, not even a division title, is hard to swallow. Then to have a hated rival basically take our place? That is tough. I hope we "burry" Oklahoma by 50. Nothing personal. Just demons.
But next year, next year....
