Exactly! We were an average at best team that year. I cannot stand FSU, almost as much as Florida State. Us losing to them that year hurt. I hope we are on a string of national titles and they are just another team that we beat down on the way to another!
2007 was more saban than anything. To be honest CNS won us 3 key games. The Arkansas game he decided to kick a late fg when it everyone else wanted to go for it 4th and long, the ole miss game he forced the refs to look at a crucial call that ultimately determined the game, and Tennessee he decided to go über aggressive instead of playing a conservative back and forth game with a more talented vols team. The fact we won 7 games that year is an accomplishment in itself. We had way more egos and a lot less talent that year than about any other in recent history. To be frank I think mustin might be the least talented linebacker to start for CNS these past 9 years but he is one of my favorites just because he didn't have an ego on a team full of them and he just wanted to play football. Him, javy,and rolando were probably the best players on that team. IMOActually Bama was pretty good until the LSU game. Saban's soft spot for LSU was still there in 2007 and no one will ever convince me that he didn't lose the team during and after that game.
Look at the game before and the game after LSU. Beat a 10-4 ut team 41-17 before and then lost to an 8-5 MSU team 12-17 after. And then look at the game after MSU.
I have a different view. IMO, that was one of the greatest coaching jobs against all odds I've ever seen from a Bama team, including Coach Bryant's years. Bama didn't have 3 players who could start for that phenomenally talented NC LSU team. And Bama came within a 4th and 4 stop with 2 or 3 min left of winning that game and the Western Division representation. And Bama dominated MSU the next week until the 14 point swing on the last play of the 1st half. That's when Bama fell apart. Until that point, that was one of the great coaching jobs in Bama history. Bama was playing with 3 walk-ons starting on defense - in the SEC!!! Vandy has probably never done that.Actually Bama was pretty good until the LSU game. Saban's soft spot for LSU was still there in 2007 and no one will ever convince me that he didn't lose the team during and after that game.

Wow. Haven't thought about him in a while. Watching that 2007 team was frustrating and disappointing in a lot of ways, but it wasn't because of Darren Mustin. Looks like he's an assistant S&C coach with Army.
I wouldn't group all of them this way, but they were by far the trashiest fans I've ever seen at a game. UGA in 2007 is a close second.
Well when you hear horror stories about Florida and Miami fans you would most likely have to think fsu is no different. Florida under Meyer and spurrier were the worst I've been around. But I have met good uf fans outside of gameday.
Lol It's is. Babysitting and trying to type this seemingly not good.
