Alabama Fans Should Enjoy THis

[OldVol]

UT left 21 points on the field inside the 10 yard line yesterday.

You won't win that game over 1 out of 10 times when that happens.

Just look at the stats on such.

Our trips inside the 10 versus your's, and then look at the stats on how often a team scores with first and goal, then you'll have to conclude that Bama was damned lucky to come away with a win.

They played hard, made some breaks for themselves, and deserved the win simply because we failed to protect the ball, but the honest truth is; we should have won that game.

Give us the same situation 9 more times and we win all 9 of them.

We have far better talent top to bottom and more depth.

We only need to develop a QB for next year and we have 2 in-house who will be just fine.

Enjoy your win Bama.

After next year we'll be saying 10 out of 12.

 

[BamasBack12]

Oh, and yall keep wanting to talk about your streak. Well how's this for a streak...1 out of 1. ROLL TIDE!

 

[tvolsfan]

well see next year. you guys lose a lot.

but celebrate now. no point winning if you cant enjoy it.

 

[GOT TWELVE?]

Good luck developing Qb's.

 

[volbrian]

Good luck in not buying even more players.

 

[GOT TWELVE?]

Obviously Ut's Qb development program is at an all time low, wonder if there are any more Tee Martin$ out there.

 

[volbrian]

Tee Martin NCAA violations=0

Albert Means NCAA violations= 1


We win that battle :biggrin2:

 

[GOT TWELVE?]

How many times has UT been on probation?

 

[volbrian]

I think 2 minor infractions during the Majors era. A couple of lost games for a few players. Thats it as far as I know

No where near the level of 3 Bama infractions against their sports programs in 10 years (and we are talking MAJOR infractions)

sounds like sore grapes to me. you people were picked in the preseason top 5. alabama wasnt even an afterthought. the thing you need to under stand is fumbles, dropped passes, and blown coverages are part of the game.alabama has lost plenty thru the years because of these things.you may have more talent then alabama. but i bet you dont have more heart. there are several teams around the country with more talent. hell, we still dont have a full compliment of scholarship players. but this alabama team never gives up.win or lose .its sad to see all these sore losers over here.it doest matter how you got beat, be it a fumble or a dropped pass , the bottom line is you got beat! so stop whining. oh by the way, tennessee has a very good defence. roll tide

We have a good defense too. That's the problem that I have always had with people holding up the big D and then the white fence. I just knew that masses all over the country would think of that when trying to spell it. :crazy:

We are all admitting that we are a total disappointment and we were overrated. There is an awful lot of smack talking being done by fans of a team that won a game with a last second field goal and a score of 6 to 3. Most Alabama fans have some class and realize that they pulled out a tough fought game at home, and they are extremely relieved by that. I know plenty of Alabama fans that were very worried with 3 minutes to go in that game. It is one thing to win a game, celebrate a victory, but it is another to talk trash over such a "blowout" like what happened yesterday.

:dunno:

This is not directed toward anyone in particular on this post as of now, but I have seen more cocky tide fans today than before the game on Saturday.

i never called it a blowout. it was a very close game that was decided by some key miscues on tennessees part and alabama taking advantage of them. thats what happens in football games.you guys played well but im very proud of alabama never giving up. they showed alot of heart. roll tide!

Bama has little to no chance at a NC and that is what you play for. Look at your plastic game cups if you don't see your arrogance.

Your chances at winning an SEC championship are better since Shockley's injury, the fact that is you can beat either Auburn or LSU, both Auburn and LSU ends up with two SEC losses, you get in by being not in the SEC Champ game due to the fact that you have been SEC horrible, by your own standards, for years.

Any loss will be the end of your NC possibilities, and even if you win out, USC may be a lock.

You have serious offensive line problems, Croyle's gone and the Bama future is relatively suspect.

In short, you will have Auburn to contend with to get out of the SEC, LSU will be better, so this is your best shot.

And your screwed.

 

[Tidefan]

I dont think anyone from the SEC has much chance at a NC..even if they get the chance to play. I dont know if anyone in our conference can beat Southern Cal. And if we were to get lucky and win all our games (but not get the chance to play for a NC) I certainly pray they dont fabricate some sort of mythical championship rings and throw a parade like Auburn did last year. That was just pathetic.

Count me in as one of the fans that was sweating bullets right before UT fumbled (on our 3 yard line). I was sure he was going to score! I was thinking, uh-oh, here we go again.

You can imagine my complete uphoria when we kicked the field goal toward the end. And I can certainly sympathise with the sick feeling in the pit of the stomach when you get so close to winning, only to have victory snatched away.

That was one of the hardest fought games I've ever seen. (The other being the 5 overtime tie between UT and Bama a couple of years ago).

We happened to come out on top this time. It was bound to happen eventually. What will be very interesting will be to see the hard-fought battles between our teams in the years to come!

It'll be fun and everyone should enjoy tailgating and getting plenty of BBQ at the games regardless of the colors they wear!

It seems that no matter what, Bama fans can't be accepted on this board without extreme bitterness from some fans. It's funny - you lose and still talk the smack. I came here with the intentions of being a long time poster and a resident Bama fan - I have approached without the smack talk, etc...but apparently Bama fans aren't a welcome bunch here.

Sad really, the unsportsmanlike attitude that some posters seem to have.

Would I have been here after a loss? Most certainly, however coming here after a win is not welcome at all, it seems.

 

[GAVol]

To be honest, I've been pretty happy with the way most are handling the loss. Some people are always going to incapable of showing class; especially on the internet, but overall I think it's been pretty civil.

Give it a day or so. Few vol posters would have been embraced on Bama boards last year at this time. If you remember, the prevailing tide fan attitude was that Bama dominated the game and only lost because of the early fumble return for a TD by UT.

Add to that some smack talk coming from some tide fans this yesterday and today and people are naturally defensive.

If I am one of the posters who offended ya I didnt mean to. Yesterdays game was probably the single most exciting UT/BAMA game I can remember (actually, the 95 game was more exciting, but that was because we both whipped your butts and ended the latest streak).

If UA would have really "beat the hell out of you (us)...", I couldnt have much to say about it. But for some Tide fans to come in here and talk some stupidity, most of us just arent in the mood.

Ok, first of all, your sentences don't make any sense. They all run together and I'd argue with them but I don't know what any of them mean. "In short, you will have Auburn to contend with to get out of the SEC, LSU will be better..." I don't get it. Anyways, at this point Bama is playing for a NC because we are 7-0 and in the top 5. However, we understand that a NC is improbable given the 4 teams ahead of us in the BCS. But remember, we started the season unranked and now we're #5. Worst case scenario, pretty much, is a 9-2 regular season now. Most Bama fans would be more than happy with that considering most people were predicting a 7-4 or possibly 6-5 season. I don't see 9-2 though, I honestly see 10-1 or 11-0. About our future, we don't have serious offensive line problems. We have a VERY young and inexperienced line but they have gotten a lot better than they were in the spring. They were beaten by a UT defensive line that is considered by many to be the best in the nation (or at least they were before the season). Our O-line is getting better and more experienced every game and will be fine. Yes, we lose Brodie next year and that will hurt but we have a few QB's who can come in and get the job done. JP Wilson has tons of potential, Jimmy Barnes was an Army All-American last year and is redshirted this year, and Jimmy Johns is a dual threat QB who is playing TB right now but could go back to QB next season. With an outstanding running game, which we'll have next year with Darby back, and ALL of our receivers back (Prothro should be able to play next year), our offense should be more than fine. You're a UT fan so I'm guessing you don't really know anything about Bama's future. You say that it is relatively suspect, but why? You know Brodie is leaving and a lot of our defense is too, but do you know ANYTHING about our backups?? No, but we Bama fans do and we know how good they are. Plus, we're putting together another very solid recruiting class and we have a great shot at landing the #1 O-lineman in the country from right here in Alabama. Our O-line commits are already stout, adding Andre Smith would make it one of the best ever. So say what you want, throw out comments that have nothing to back them up. But the Bama fans know what direction our program is headed, we're back at full strength as far as scholarships go, but right now we don't even have a full roster because of the last couple of years of sanctions. Yet we're unbeaten and in the top 5. Contrast that with UT who was preseason #3, had about 100 preseason all-americans, and continues to put together amazing recruiting classes but does nothing short of average with the talent, and we Bama fans feel pretty good about our program. 6-3 ROLL TIDE and I'm out. :thefinger:

I think the basic problem is that an Aubie came on the board almost immediately after the game pretending he was a Bama fan trying to make himself feel better by doing a bunch of high school-flamer snide taunting.

Before that, things here had pretty much centered around whether or not to lynch Fulmer, and whether the blue or pastel lialac rope would go better with his eyes.

After the ragging back at the Aubie in the elephant costume got done, the tone changed, and in the face of that some of our true Bama posters wrongly (I hope) assumed that any suggestion that the Tide played less than excellent must be a veiled flame.

Thanks much to the rational Bammers who stepped up to help re-make the psycho-peace which makes this place fun.



That said, because I'm obnoxiously rational (or is that "rationalize my obnoxiousness?") I've got to add that as a member of another board which like this one prides itself on sportsmanship, only all teams (gasf.com), that Bama should be concerned. Just as the TN O showed that it was capable of great play against LSU and that makes the goofiness in all the other games more embarrassing, Bama showed a level of excellence against UF that has to make you wonder why they merely looked good-to-above-average against Ole Miss & TN.

I don't think I read any of the Vol posters here who weren't meaning to make that point- rather than actually criticizing the Tide. When an arch-rival beats you (at least one where, like TN-Bama, it's a fond rather than nasty "hate") you naturally want them to go on an beat everybody else's butt too. When your (O) team is playing as bad as the Vols, you really, really want to live through your rivals. And, as amazing as the Vol D is, that still doesn't really cover why Bama hasn't been hitting on all cylinders since they gutted the gators.....
