Bama lucky it wasn't even worse loss

[temptn]

Their fans are whining about refs and bad luck, when in reality if not for the interception and fumble they would have been beaten even worse.
We scored 21 in the first quarter, and led by 18 in the second quarter. Vols led most of the game.

Amen to that Bro!

True

My point is, they are saying they lost because of all of the sloppy play, but maybe it was because Tennessee is just the better team.

Tennessee exposed them.

Ask any bammer you see...
Bama has NEVER lost to a better team.

I will say that if Bryce Young had not played it would have been a beat down. I have all respect for him after that game he pulled them out of disaster multiple times. Probably worth 21 points to Bama but I believe if Jason McCullough would have played and been on some of those blitzes he would have got him. He’s that athleticIMO.

LOL

It doesn't really work like that. Turnovers are part of the game too.

Its like saying, 'If they wouldn't have scored so many touchdowns the game would have been a lot closer'.

The sloppy play was forced by the Big Orange!!

Well, don't forget that in the eyes of Bamer fans, amongst other things, we caused their 17 penalties because:

1. We were too loud. We should have been more respectful, really, we should have....
2. Our Defense got off the ball really quickly. Just soooo unfair - we should have slowed down to allow them to pick up our stunts and blitzes
3. Our coaches outcoached their coach. They anticipated better and called the right offensive and defensive plays more often

I'm finished responding or even defending our win. To hell with the whole state of Alabama

We can get use to this if they hated us when we were down they will hate us even more when we up. One thing is for sure it is better to be a hated winner than a hated loser GO BIG ORANGE.

I live in Alabama. All day I've heard about the refs.

I was at the game. Just now finished watching the replay. The only really bad call I saw was the pass interference in the end zone when the receiver pulled our defender to the ground. I think the refs did a pretty good job on the rest of the plays. The call that Bama is butthurt about is the interception called back for pass interference. Even Gary Danielson said the Bama guy "sold it". I was shocked he admitted that, but I actually think he did a good job (Danielson) of stifling his Saban man crush during this game.

They complain about the refs yet conveniently leave out the DPI late in the 3rd quarter that should have been OPI that kept them in the game.

 

[obxvol]

No fumble TD. HH missed a couple of wide open TD’s and receivers ran a couple of bad routes. Could have easily beaten them by 14-21. Been that way all season. No one plays perfect but just zip it Bama turds.

 

[connor]

lol complain all they want they were down 28-10 at one point, if anything we almost choked and they are just pointing fingers at the refs

 

[TnVol!]

Let them whine. They're good at it. I'm ready for another Dixieland Delight.
