I think the only thing that only bothers me about that game is that we got another “Too much Bama” ( AKA too much alcohol and less common sense) fan celebrity out of it. But i, and just about every Bama fan could think of about 30 more losses that bothers us more than that one and give sound reasoning for why.That's spot on. They want 2014 to really bother us - and it bothers the hell out of them that it doesn't bother us. Bama fans understand that game and just shrug. There's no doubt in my mind that they believe this game will duplicate that one...
But the thing that is lost in it is that everyone forgets Utah beat us in the Sugar Bowl as well. That is probably a worse loss since it was a BCS buster, it made us 0-2 in BCS games, and it had been 15 years since we had been to NOLA. But no one challenges the fact that we had an emotional hangover going into game vs a highly motivated team in that game.
