Bama Game Thread: Official Postgame Thread, Bama vs. UGA...

Its hilarious, I have never seen more Mental Gymnastics By opposing fanbases (not just georgia) to try to convince themselves that Alabama is in trouble because of Georgias comeback. We beat the Number Two team in the nation riding a 42 game Regular season undefeated streak with our first year coach in his first conference game. Alabama is literally the only team that has beat georgia in like 3 and half seasons. Does that mean I think we are unbeatable and we don't have things to work on?? Absolutely not. But its so funny because it's almost like they are wishcasting so hard that alabama winning the game against a quality opponent is secondary to whatever "signs" of decline they "see". :ROFLMAO:

People do not want to think that Alabama will still be "Alabama" even with Saban retired. The problem is, and Josh Pate said it, Alabama's athletes were better than UGA's athletes Saturday night. Pate said he stood on the field and watched with his own eyes. He said there is this misconception about UGA that they are at the top of the mountain wrt talent and the best other teams can do is be equal. But he said after watching the game Saturday night, Alabama had better athletes. No one outside of Tuscaloosa, AL wants to hear that, and rightfully so.

I think the game showed two things fairly clearly about Georgia. They are not as good as they have been. They are a step or two off that pace, IMO. However, they do still retain the championship mettle to not quit.

I do not think they are winning the NC this year. I don't think they are winning the SEC either. Playoffs? That depends on how it all works out with whatever committee they are going with. But they should make the field.

You couple this game with Georgia's effort against Kentucky, and it becomes more clear. I think Sark and Texas are going to blow their doors off. I respect Kirby and his staff keeping them determined to continue fighting. Alabama's program is in transition right now and for all the kudos they deserve for coming up with that first half effort, they were not ready for the endurance it requires to completely kill a Georgia. We'll get there again but the staff is still learning how to handle this. Sark and his staff are a different story though and I think his offense has the number of Kirby's defense.

I think they lose to Texas but it won't be a blowout. I think they beat Ucheat.

I don't get to many games and it's almost always a cupcake game when I do so, that may be some of it but, too many people just want to sit there and not have fun. I'm turning 46 in a few weeks so, I'm no young puppy but, there are a lot of older fans who seem to treat the stadium as their couch. They don't even like it when you are standing and cheering, I've had someone ask me to sit down before. I wanted to tell them to leave and watch it on TV but, I hate confrontations, so I didn't. I also kept standing up though.

I have also never been to a big time SEC matchup before, so I have never experienced that kind of crowd. The last and only conference game I have attended was the Prothro over the back catch game vs. Miss. St.

This has been brought up before and I didn't respond, but...
I've been a BAMA fan since '75 when I moved to Florence. I've watched most games, and been to several. My son and I were standing at the fence when Cornbread hit Steve Burlein, in T'town when VU beat a Perkins coached team, in B'ham when Deuce scored the come from behind winner against UT, in Jackson, Ms when MSU won 6-3, in B'ham for the first SEC Championship Game, in Pasadena for the NC game with Texas, in Miami for a playoff game with OK., etc. My point is that I qualify as an avid BAMA fan, and now at 76, I question whether anyone younger has the right to tell me that I should keep my hindquarters out of the stadium.
With that said, I decided a few years ago that I would no longer attend games because the requirements to do so were beyond what I was willing to do, and standing for an entire game was foremost.
I trust all of you will carry the torch forward, while I will be on my sofa where I can scream, cuss, throw things or simply cheer without offending anyone. And Mr. C N, I'm not mad at anyone, but it is personal to me. Enjoy my seat, or the foot space in front of it.
ROLL TIDE!!!

it seems like we were almost as surprised as everyone else at how strongly we started and how weakly georgia started

Once I saw the first few drives I wasn't surprised because it reminded me of what an innovative offense would do to Kirby's defense at Bama from time to time. I had a gut feeling our offense was going to gash his defense. QB's like Milroe are Kirby's worst nightmare and that nightmare came to fruition for them. I just don't understand why more effort wasn't put into second half adjustments when it became obvious UGA made adjustments.

Granted, I get we didn't have the same amount of possessions as the first half, but the possessions we did have we didn't do much of anything to adjust to their adjustments. The only thing I can conclude is they felt like if they just played it safe UGA would run out of time.

One of the expected requirements - in terms of a sort of social contract - for fans attending the game is to actually be part of the game.

Alabama fans have had a reputation for decades - regardless of how avid we each may have considered ourselves to be - for not being real fans because we want to sit on our hands at games.

As a result, Bryant Denny Stadium was not considered a difficult place to play. It may be difficult to beat Alabama but no more difficult than on a neutral field.

As fans attending the game, it's part of our responsibility to make Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium be the opposite of a neutral field; it needs to clearly be our turf with our fans making as much noise and commotion as we can.

We're getting better at that part of things and a few Georgia fans mentioned as much to me this weekend.

However, there are still far too many "fans" in Tide Pride sections who want to sit sheepishly and merely watch the game while not being part of it.

Oh, and there are far, far too many rival fans sitting in Tide Pride sections, too!

The game day experience is being catered to (understandably) the younger and/or the "fanatic" type of fan. It is also being catered to the people with deep pockets, which I will also throw out a "rightfully so" comment as well. Hey, in the NIL era, you need people with deep pockets more than ever.

Though I'll never criticize someone who pays for a ticket to decide to "just sit" in their chair the entire time. I will say that the gameday atmosphere is being catered to other types of fans and if you're okay with that, then great. If not, then it's probably best to stay at home, save some money and watch it on tv.

I've seen some criticizing Milroe for the second-half performance, but I'm not in that camp. I felt the offensive coaches dialed back the aggression and as you said didn't adjust to UGA's adjustments. It almost cost them the game. We all have to remember that the coaching staff is learning to coach in the SEC just like the young players are learning to play. I'm hopeful this will be a lesson learned with out a loss that good SEC teams will go on a run and no lead is safe when playing at the top of the conference.

Glad we won, but why are we centering our entire offense around Milroe, to the point of that the backs are hardly getting any carries? It would've been nice to feed Jam and Justice a whole lot more. That's one of my few complaints at this point. The media keeps trying to say they held our backs to however many yards it was, but it was really because we didn't feed them.
