Amazing. Just amazing that we pulled that out.@CecilHurt: After Alabama scored to go ahead with 12:36 remaining, they somehow kept a one-point lead without the offense recording another first down.

nothing lasts forever, and since saban's not going to be here for 25 years like bryant was, it's not likely we're going to see a resurgence of what we saw the last 5 years anytime soon.this is absolutely correct, but is the plague of all success. happens to all teams in all sports that have continued success. it's how you deal with it that sets apart the true greats.
If that is true, I just have to wonder, why is that the kind of team we've got?Saban was letting us know back in January when he said something about treating it like starting all over in 2007 because that is the kind of team we've got.
Six short weeks ago, the college football world thought TAMU was going to destroy everybody in the SEC. Things can change people. This season is far from over. Get behind this team.
Exactly. We can win out. Will just need a little help for the final four.Six short weeks ago, the college football world thought TAMU was going to destroy everybody in the SEC. Things can change people. This season is far from over. Get behind this team.
Product of some of our own success. We recruit well, but believe it or not, it is not easy to reload. We lose some great players to the NFL, those that are left are the ones that didn't quite pan out (4th and 5th yr seniors not quite good enough to make the NFL), young players, and a couple of stars. Ask LSU, they'll tell you all about itIf that is true, I just have to wonder, why is that the kind of team we've got?
We might be down, we might be out, we might be rebuilding, but I don't think CNS is done.nothing lasts forever, and since saban's not going to be here for 25 years like bryant was, it's not likely we're going to see a resurgence of what we saw the last 5 years anytime soon.
bryant won 3 titles in his first 7 years and then went 7 more years before his 4th, and in between there were a couple of 6-5 seasons and a fair amount of mediocrity.
the likelihood that we're going to bounce back and be a juggernaut in the remainder of saban's tenure is not too great.
isn't this where great coaching is supposed to come into play?Product of some of our own success. We recruit well, but believe it or not, it is not easy to reload.

Bringing in Coker tonight would probably have caused a loss. However, there is no hiding the fact that our offensive problems revolve around the QB position. ARK tonight decided that they were going to practically ignore the QB and send their safeties and sometimes even corners. Our OL didn't play terribly tonight. They just were trying to block too many with too few. That never is pretty. They did a good job of taking away Blake's short stuff and they simply disrespected his ability to throw long. It paid off for them big time, even if it didn't win the game. Starting next week, Blake will have to prove himself all over again as a long-ball passer. We'll get more feedback from the people who could attend, but I find it hard to believe that we had no receivers open at all downfield. It'll be interesting to hear what they saw. On defense, I said it during the game thread. We just look a step slow and big for the direction the game has moved. It'll be interesting to see what the coaches can do with this team...Bringing in Coker would have made no difference imo. Our problems are more fundamental than that.

But you have to post it to Youtube.IF we struggle on offense again next week, I promise you, I'll jump off the cliff and support Florida Gator.

i didn't say he's done, but how long does anyone think he's sticking around...another 3 or 4 years?We might be down, we might be out, we might be rebuilding, but I don't think CNS is done.
