Absolute worst part of the day. I'm afraid we lost 3 key players today. One for the season and two probably for a few weeks at least

That's a good show, one of my favorite, enjoy. Take notes too, with Ebola here now you may need the survival skills.Oh, I plan on taking a week long break from sports radio and tv coverage. Gives me more time to finish watching the Walking Dead on Netflix. Hey..at least we aren't them.
It's never been a rule, just a prank, and, anyway, it applies to boasting about your count...
precisely. This game reminded me so much of last year's Iron Bowl, including a crippling holding call by No. 88 in the final moments. He also was too passive on the final throw -- tight coverage but catchable. Lots of little things got us beat, including the absence of a second half pass rush, and chronic coverage lapses at key moments. Oh yeah, Wallace had the touch of a pick pocket for most of the second half.
earliest loss in a long time. The coaches and players either use it to grow or shut it down now. Their choice. Odd how passive we seemed on the road.
LOL - turn it over to ESPN and watch a team that gives a darn about running ball.
I thought D played well today. Bama is just not great on D this year and I mean from a personel standpoint. I do think the blitz calls were too conservative, but Bama stopped the run without secondary help, which is a good thing. The problem is we just aren't as good on the back end as we have been. For that matter, we aren't as good anywhere on D as we have been. Bama is good, just not great like in the past. And Wallace did make some impressive throws, but that could go back to your point of lack of pressure
I also thought the crippling holding call by the TE hurt. I thought it was a no call but it was called. I think the same thing did happen in the Iron Bowl late. I hope they learn from it!
Gray, I'm not sure what exactly makes someone a sunshine pumper but I'd say it's the doom and gloomers (for lack of a better term) that need to realize that other teams have good players too.
But I do agree with your assessment. We have a lot of work to do, that's for sure. Penalties and turnovers will kill any team and we are no exception. I don't believe we need wholesale change, but we had better learn from this and grow.
That was a typo. I meant "defense." OTOH, there was certainly confusion on offense, as well...
Yes, this was a disappointing loss, they happen... for me going back to the 73 Sugar Bowl to Notre Dame. The game is over and we need to see what lessons we can draw from it, but not let it cause us to lose a second game. The penalties are odd, as we haven't had issues with them like this in a long time.
We need to focus next on Arkansas. We can still accomplish our goals this year as long as we don't distract ourselves with future games or how other teams play.

Ole Miss has to lose 2 SEC games, and we have to win out to get in the SECCG (providing no undefeated SEC West teams)...beating an undefeated barn team elevates us, I think, in the eyes of the committee.
i think drake's injury greatly affected the mindset of the team. they had no fire coming out of the half, then when kelley went down, that was the straw that broke the camels back, or at least that's how it seemed to me.
This is correct. Our forums are not intended for debates with staff over policies and that's clearly stated in the site policies. Particularly in postgame threads after a loss, there's a lot of gloom and doom and, well, overreaction. Also, far too many post after they're further into their cups than they need to be. In those cases, we sometimes suspend to protect the poster from saying too much and getting into trouble...
Whatever happened all game long, we were in the drivers seat at the end. When you are down by 6, enough time on the clock, close enough to smell the endzone, you should be able to get it in. This week we couldn't.
Yep. Drake's injury was damaging to the psyche of the team. Kelley's was more nuts and bolts. The 2nd string center can never live up to the standard of the starter...
