So...stop the run on defense...which we struggle to do...and establish the run on offense...which we haven't been able to do (in fact we haven't tried)...those are our keys to victory?

Uh-oh
That's why I said I don't know if I can watch 😆

About 2:15 pm CST Saturday I’ll be hiking through the woods at nearby Tannehill State Park. Around 5 pm, I’m meeting a buddy to catch a few bass from his pond to restock mine. By then, it should be over.

I'd like first half Bama vs UGA to turn up vs whatever came out after halftime of that game and played the last 2 games...they showed they are capable of a very high level...but have so far since that first half managed to limbo under that standard

How many of the people posting that they aren't going to watch this team anymore tuned in during the worst of the worst years post-Stallings and pre-Saban?

I guess another question would be how many of them were Alabama fans during that time period?

I was at UA during the Stallings years and I tuned in to every game I could during the years we were absolutely terrible...even went to the effort to find bars that would play the games before every game was on tv and pretty much knowing that we were going to lose a lot of the games before the ball was even kicked off.

I really don't get the attitude that if we're not smashing everyone to bits and/or the most dominant program in the country year in and year out you're not interested in watching the games.

I mean, to each his own, but I just don't get it.

I think we get an ugly win at Tennessee.

The stadium will be really loud and Tennessee will play their best game of the year.

Tennessee’s leading tackler tore his ACL last game. That’s a huge loss for them. I hate to see any player hurt, regardless of the team. I read he was a senior too.

I would like for the referee crew to be competent and fair. Is that too much to ask?

Bama wins in another nail- biter.

I think it's more so the NIL/Entitlement, xfer portal and just general downgrade that is turning people off. I've about gotten there myself.
No loyalty, no sticking around and proving yourself and earning your spot. Now it's how much you gonna pay and what are you gonna do about getting me more playing time?

Yeah, I'm not skipping Bama games, but my overall interest in the sport has diminished rather significantly.

A couple of things we have to do on defense, pressure Nico and not let him get in a rhythm, if he does and gets hot we are in trouble, slow down Sampson, this guy is big and strong and doesn't go down on contact, on offense we have to establish the run and keep UT off the field and I really don't believe this coaching staff knows how to control the clock because they are so wide open on offense, I really don't know if I can watch this game and I've been a fan for 60+ years and I've never said that before but I think it could get ugly quick RTR
Keep the faith it will be a nail bitter unfortunately. I think that is our new normal. 😰

I was at bama during the Shula years and sabans first season. I’ve been a die hard watch/listen to every game fan my whole life. I really don’t get the I’m done vibes with our fanbase rn. That South Carolina game in the cold rain with our 3rd string string qb was the worst game I’ve ever experienced but I stayed and cheered till I lost my voice. Even at the end when it was just me and like 20 other students we let them hear us going to the tunnel. You either bleed crimson or you’re just visiting. Either way is cool but I’m with you. I’ve seen the worst it can be….wommack can’t hurt me haha

I have a sneaking suspicon that the motivation was not there against UGA (second half), and then against Vandy and USC.
Against Tenn. I suspect the guys will show up motivated and look more like UGA 1st half. At least I hope so.
On the other hand, if they play with the focus and discipline they displayed against Vandy, and Tennessee gets its stuff together, Bama could lose by 50. It really depends on how the lads prepare themselves and focus.
