It's the sunshine pumpers here. If they can call me an eeyore, I can for sure call them a sunshine pumper. It's all good.
Tough loss but we'll get over it

It's human nature to complain. Bama just lost to Vanderbilt. Complaining about Bama losing to Vandy should not surprise anyone.
Best to just avoid labeling fellow fans altogether. We all want the same things.
I agree but it should not surprise anyone that if you are called something, you will return the favor.
I'm a sunshine pumper...Sunshine lol.
It's harmless in a vacuum, but it's not. What we see, the $$ voices also see, and it's no way they're going to be okay with being beat up and dragged up and down the field 4 yards at a time by Vandy.
It's one thing if it were just one game, but these long drives have become the norm and the run defense is certainly an issue.
I'm actually a fan of this staff for sure, but I will never fall for the idea that the roster on defense can't adapt to what's needed, especially in the front 7, especially against the run or pressuring the QB. I'm incredibly frustrated that he didn't adapt against the 10 plays that Vandy ran the whole game, but of course he has the chance to turn it all around and there's no excuse not to.
I mean, I don't hate anyone but, no.
I will say this: This is not a team laden with Saban recruits. Need people be reminded about all the recruits that left in the portal and the staff having to scramble to get players thru the portal? That ,in no way, diminishes this loss, though.
We were unsound a lot defensively last night. I will rewatch tonight when I get over myself. But it appeared on several plays we were outnumbered and every trick play the ran they converted.
I hope the DC calls CNS in to share with him how to handle QB option, shovel passes, and obvious sprint out situations on 3rd in long with a 5’10 QB. SMH
The defensive scheme is bad. No adjustment makes this d staff atrocious at this point. The d didn’t even try to throw the many wrinkles or pressures which is crazy the way the game went with them being dominated. The scheme has not worked that’s on coaches. If they don’t have the right type of player for what they want to do then don’t force it and the coaches should adjust to who we have. Then add in some bad play from players that don’t help but it’s pretty much all on coaches at this point.
Note—- I’m not saying a 4-2 is bad wheni day scheme just the way we have done it and coached it and lack of imagination with attacking is bad.

that's how i approached last year after the texas loss and it was the most i've enjoyed a season in a while.
I am generally a sunshine pumper, but based on what I have seen I wouldn't be surprised if we lose 3-4 more games this year. The defense has trouble stopping a sneeze and at key moments plays with the intensity of a snail. The offense plays great at times but is inconsistent. I am not sold on either of our coordinators. Maybe, DeBoer is a football genius. I guess we have to wait and see. I believe So. Carolina, Mizzou, Tenn, LSU, Okie, and even the Barn are better than Vanderbilt.
It's not those complaining - I get that. It's those who are already writing off this season, the staff, etc.
It's an over-reaction to a bad day on the field. This team literally has every championship goal that had before game one still available to them.
