Visiting various Bama forums I've noticed a lot of apathy regarding the loss to OU. Some folks seem to be tossing it off as a meaningless game and understandable after the IB loss.
Not me, I think it was a very important game and here's why.
It was against another elite program and we needed the W to square the all-time series.
The Big Mouth Bob thing.
A missed opportunity to pad our narrow lead over USC for the most bowl wins ever.
It means that we still have to worry about complacency. I thought that we might be past that considering that our roster is fully stocked with blue chip talent and any less than your best could mean loss of PT to someone hungry for your job.
Finally..........Pride. In a BCS bowl and on the national stage, it should be all you need to represent the program better.
