the only time they faced any real adversity at all this season, they folded like a cheap tent
Thoughts on last nights games and the big one

I think the officiating crew for the game Monday will be from the ACC. I wonder how they compare to SEC' refs and the refs we had in the semi's?
In hindsight it is not true but I believe the overwhelming majority of us did not think we would be where we are now after seeing the Auburn game. I am glad to be wrong.
We always seem to be able to replace talent but this year we had to replace an inordinate amount of leadership from last year. Of all the team's CNS has had, last year's team was special, a lot of guys came back with one purpose and it showed.
This year's team is very talented, but it is young. I never really expected to playing for the NC again, or at least I prepared myself, before the season, that this season may be a little more difficult than past seasons. Not even Alabama wins them all, right?
At this point though, Kirby will have to prove he can beat CNS. If/when he does, hats off to him, until then I expect us to win. This is probably our worst team in years and UGA's best team in years and we already beat them once. We have already won an SEC Championship, I'm old, that is still important to me, secured our spot in the playoff off and in the NC game. I will be disappointed if we lose, no doubt, but this Alabama team, win or lose, has been resilient.
I continue to say this, but this, once again may be one of CNS' better coaching jobs. It is truly incredible what he does year after year. For all the credit he does get, he still rarely wins coach of the year and he could probably win it every year and maybe that is why. They can't give it to him every year so they always give it to someone else.

If you want to count the SECCG where they should have had the intensity, that's three straight.
...and everyone has to slow down on the Cincy results. We took the path of least resistance and it worked almost perfectly. Vanilla on both sides. Pound the ball. Show nothing and move on. Check check check...
Thurston Howell III is a better passer than Jalen. Don’t get me wrong, I love Jalen, but he’s an incredible talent playing out of position just like Tebow…
Now I have to go wash out my mouth…
LOL, Hurts is literally a starting QB in the NFL and was named a 2021 Pro Bowl NFC alternate.Thurston Howell III is a better passer than Jalen. Don’t get me wrong, I love Jalen, but he’s an incredible talent playing out of position just like Tebow…
The comparison of Jalen to Tebow may well be a bannable offense.
Time will tell, brother. To be honest I don’t follow Bama players in the NFL, with the exception of the Grey Ghost, to me Jalen has all the intangibles that you look for; leadership, heart, drive but he’s not a pure passer. With his lower body strength and shiftiness he could be a fantastic RB.
Considering he's one of the 32 best QBs on the planet right now, I'd humbly suggest he's doing just fine at QB...
I will say this again: CNS hired smart and a few others from Valdosta State to join him at LSU. CNS made these people, it’s not the other way around. The way kirby left Alabama by taking pics of the recruiting board is inexcusable. I can’t stand him and all we need to do is invite Gus to stand on the sideline and he’ll roll up in the fetal position. Say what you want about Lane, he refers to CNS as coach. Unlike the poc smart. My HS basketball coach attends church with me, he’ll always be Coach.
They didn't beat us... He better hope that his team is ready. I can see them winning but Kirby thinks nothing went wrong the last time and all they have to do is execute the original game plan better. Good luck with that.
Smokescreen. They'll make some changes.
There will be some tweaks (specifically offensively - until Bama shows they can stop Bowers, they'll feed him) and they'll probably bring some new defensive stunts, but overall it will be the same game plan.
Saw my high school coach after almost 50 years. He was " Coach ", not " Frank ". It was automatic. Can`t imagine anyone doing anything else.
He had Justin Fields.
Kirby has incorporated a few new wrinkles. A new and improved 4th and long fake punt play, plus a few others
