I don't even feel bad

[bamaga]

Seriously? Georgia fans? Please tell me what exactly Georgia fans can rub our noses in.

I'll wait.

You obviously don’t know Georgia fans.

You obviously don’t know Georgia fans.

I'll see that and raise you.....

I moved to Knoxville in 1997.

Top that.

This just shows you how hard it is to go undefeated in today’s game. All these great Saban teams and only 1 undefeated season. From now on we need to make sure and lose 1 regular season game to get it out of the way early.


Anyway, tough night for Bama nation. Can’t wait to watch an angry Bama team next year!


Time for baseball season! Roll Tide Roll and Chop On!

I feel bad for the players. Wish they could have scored in the second half. Close so many times it seemed like.

I feel bad for the fans who traveled to California to watch our players lay down on the job. No, I just don't feel sorry for our players who did this to themselves. If we had lost on a trick play or a pick play I would have some sympathy but not a team who let themselves be dominated.

At least we got to beat Oklahoma for the first time this Century

I think that was one of the two problems we had playing Clemson. We played Georgia, Oklahoma and Clemson in consecutive weeks and we were just beat up.

I don’t get the pseudo-moral judgments. It’s sports. Sometimes you just get beaten. It happens to everybody. Now it has happened to us.

Sized up in the secondary - exposed by OK, stripped bare by Clemps. Painful to watch, numbing to reflect over, but that was yesterday...

It will be interesting to see how the various issues are addressed in the off season....... starting with recruiting the last pieces of the class

 

[Redwood Forrest]

It helps to read ITAT and the like. Not ONE WORD about the FIX, THE REC, THE ESPN AND CFP COMMITTE BIAS. No, not one word. :conf3:

 

[CoachJeff]

I feel much worse than in 2016. That game could have gone either way. Yesterday Bama was beaten every which way at every position and on the sideline too. Saban suffered a loss unlike any he has ever had at Alabama in the most important game.

This wasn’t of those “We’ll get ‘em next time” games. This was a paradigm shifting game.

Great game Bama fans. Both teams will be back in New Orleans next year and i'll be looking forward to it.

 

[JBama_in_PCOLA]

I feel awful. While it is great to win the SEC and a bowl. Bama plays for championships and we didn't get this one.

 

[leroyBAMA]

Same for me. I do hate the way we lost but you have to Clemson and Dabo credit. They beat the best and they beat us but good. RTR!

 

[TAKEPRIDE22]

I'm only disappointed in the way we lost...other than that, it was a great year. (an elephant never forgets!!)

 

[tidenative]

I’m mad and I’m not settling. This game could’ve been won. Sorry, but dog gone it, way too many uncharacteristic mistakes and lots of them. This loss hurt more because we should have won, period.

 

[westide]

Seriously. A record of 14-1 is something I can live with, and if we had to lose, there are many teams I would hate to lose to more than Clemson. We have nothing whatsoever to be ashamed of.

That's all.

Winning 14 games is something to be happy about, but if you don't feel bad about a 44-16 beat down you might want to check your pulse.

 

[CHATTBRIT]

Yes, Clemson spanked us last night -- clear and simple they were way better. We knew their D was awesome but I did not realize how good Ross was. The whole Clemson team was "ON" last night and I congratulate them for the win. Doesn't mean I like it, but they were far better than the Tide on the night.

 

[TiderinAZ]

Disappointed we lost, wish the team had played better, but I do think they overachieved this year. This was a young, inexperienced team, dealing with injuries at key positions, and many new coaches.

There is also a lot of pressure on 18-20 year olds to “go undefeated”, “win championships “, week in and year after year. This level of winning isn’t sustainable.

Glad the pressure will be on Clemson next year.

Proud of all the young men who represented the University of Alabama football program well.
Still wearing my Bama t-shirt today. Roll Tide forever!

Don't forget that we lost our best/most experienced corner early on and had to start a true freshman most of the year. I think/hope our secondary will be much improved next year...

This game reminds me a lot of the 1972 Orange Bowl—a NC was on the line but we just got ran out of the stadium by the better team that night. The intersection of those two things doesn’t happen very often.
