****Bama vs. The Barn - PostGame Thread****

[92tide]

The game was not well played or well coached. The two are not mutually exclusive. Bottom line, it was a bad day to have a bad game. Tomorrow morning CNS will be back to the grind focusing on the next task which I suspect will be recruiting and planning for next season. Yes there is still a bowl game to be played, but the focus will now be on preparation for 2014. The loss hurts, but things must be kept in perspective.

well, three of the last four national championships is pretty sweet

On the bright side my "15" hat will be good for another year.

Lol. Now that is a glass half full outlook.

 

[CrimsonProf]

I imagine this will only heat up the "Retiring Saban" rumors.

Also, for anyone rooting for *U to win the title to represt the SEC it does not help us to watch them win a title. They sure wouldn't be pulling for us if we had won.

I'll pull for any other SEC team in the off-season. Never, ever Auburn. They certainly would never pull for us.

Yup..And I hope he recruits us a FG kicker that can kick long & short FG's..LOL

I would like a more wide open offense. More wide runs not so much up the middle.

 

[spray004]

It's like 2011 lsu all over again. Maybe the cards will fall in place. Someone should bottle all the auburn luck and take it to.vegas

 

[TrampLineman]

If it helps, we are West Division co-champions.
Alabama and Auburn are each 7-1 in SEC play, with Auburn owning the tie-breaker.

1992, 1993, 1994, 1996, 1999, 2002*, 2008, 2009, 2012, 2013*
* Did not represent the West in the SEC CG.

I will NEVER claim the West if we don't go to Atlanta. We are not champions of ANYTHING after tonight.

True..I dunno man..All I'm saying is the game was there for us to win & auburn simply outplayed us..And yeah they out-coached us too..The loss sucks no doubt..

It sucks! Still love where we are heading though. This team should be out for blood next year!

Luck or not, it still smells like a cow pasture.

Here's a word about out BCS situation. 2007 LSU Tigers. It can happen.

 

[Crimson Draw]

Getting every team's best effort is wearisome. Can't we be #1 and have a team fail to execute instead of overexecute? Just every once in a while?I'm calling it a night for me. Roll Tide, everyone.

 

[hoopscoach]

This a long shot, but there is a fairly realistic scenario that puts Bama in BCS title game...
Texas A&M beats Missouri tonight
Missouri Beats Auburn next week
Michigan State beats Ohio State next week.
We probably stay in top 5 after this loss. Just a matter of Bama vs Ok State in that scenario

BCS Championship is FSU vs Bama in that scenario

 

[WMack4Bama]

I've taken about an hour to think about it.

This is the worst loss I've experienced as an Alabama fan. Just......man.....

I'm checking out for a while so I won't have to wallow in it.

 

[We_are_Bama]

I really do think that the SEC's streak of titles is over. The barn's one loss to LSU will be all the ammo they need to make it a Florida State-OSU title game.

 

[TideMan09]

I would like a more wide open offense. More wide runs not so much up the middle.

I would love to see that happen as well, but, as long as Coach Saban is here..We will run this offense I have a feeling & I'm good with that seeing how it's won us 3 NC's..

 

[bamaman65]

A game this important who do you blame for a team being so flat?

 

[Gallowglas]

Getting every team's best effort is wearisome. Can't we be #1 and have a team fail to execute instead of overexecute? Just every once in a while?

Amen to that one. I've said the same thing.

 

[CullmanTide]

I must say, with regard to going for it instead of a FG, I have grimaced many times at being too conservative... Now I get it. I do not fault him, though. Special Teams left 9 on the field and we should be able to get a yard.

You win and lose as a team, coaches included.

 

[Bamabus Collins]

No way - it is a net negative for Alabama if Auburn plays for a BSCNC. It hurts us in recruiting, image, etc.

Couldn't agree more. What is unbelievable is how they went from being so bad last year to winning the West this year. I sat at the Arkansas game and heard our fans cheering for them to beat Texas A&M just because of Johnny Manziel. Obviously, they couldn't see what was coming and what it helped set us up for today. The only national titles I want to see in the state are the ones won by the University of Alabama. The farther down au is, the better.

I believe you're 100% correct..No way a 1 loss SEC team jumps Ohio St..I just don't see it happening..
