Safety or no safety. Tomato or toma'to makes no difference. Alabama got it handed to them last night. 3rd string QB and the yardage is all you need to know. They were physically beaten and they are lucky it wasn't a two or three TD defeat.

I hate OSU but not as much as Bama but OSU fans have been telling Campfire stories for years and now they are less fantasy than year before. Alabama has been embarrassed their last two bowl games.

Agree, I hate them both.. but I am very Glad that Bama got beat.. could not stand the thought of them winning another NC.

I saw a great tweet last night that said:

Rooting for Bama just because they are in the SEC is like Rooting for the Devil just because he is in the Bible.

Gave me a good laugh :)

As I have seen on VN before, If you are expected to win, one call should never have been a determining factor. If you have to add "momentum" of the play in, you are just grasping.

Yeah, he didn't run back behind the goal line, he was tackled beyond the line.... Like at the 3 or wherever they spotted it and was forced back into the endzone. Bammers have no grounds to cry about that call, because it was correct.

My rib eye must've closed my judgement, either way they lost! Which was great.

This thread was about the similarities between the posts between our two fan bases after a loss more then anything else..

Why does this get moved and threads like "The SEC has lost its crown" do not?

I really do not understand the difference.. I wish we could get some type of explanation when something like this happens.

End of the day Alabama gave up 28 unanswered points. Alabama has an outstanding team but Urbie has brought tOSU back up and he has them believing. I still think they will get smoked by Oregon though.

So just being curious to see how bad the Bammers Meltdown was going. I went and checked a couple of their boards.

The jist of their posts were first the excuses.

They call they think should have been a safety.. where the refs called forward progress was stopped. They say he was running backwards so it was BS that they didn't give them the safety which would have deflated OSU confidence and changed the game..

At the end of the game. Refs were standing over the ball and letting clock time run out. which cost them time and forced the hail mary instead of having enough time for a couple more plays in which they would have at least tied it up if not won because no way OSU would have stopped Henry from running in a two point conversion.

There were a few more excuses going around but not as prevalent as these two..

And then the Moral victory that their team at least did not give up and kept fighting until the last second of the game.

This I find funny because many on here pick on anyone saying something good after a loss. Saying Moral victories are for vandy fans.

Guess even when you have the number 1 ranked team in the country and have been dominating the CFB landscape for the past decade.. after a loss all fans will try to find some type of moral victory.

It is not just for vandy fans.. or the sunshine pumpers... everyone does it.

And then of course they have their own Nega's... saying that the football they have known and loved is now dead, Saban is finished and will never win another NC, So they need to start looking at who the next best coach is going to be and figure out a way to get him to be a Bammer.

It is funny.. all fan base's are the same. No matter if they are on top of the heap or on the bottom. They all have sunshine pumpers.. they all have Negative posters..

In the end we are all just fans no matter which colors we wear and we all go through the same things no matter what our final records might be.

Except we don't kill other VOL fans when we lose.

It would have been a safety in the SEC for Alabama. Not for the team they were playing. They just weren't spotted that favorable call in this game that they have become so reliant on to win close games.

Not sure what the purpose of the OP is. Yes, some of the Bama fans can be annoying, and don't even get me started about Saban.

With that said, its unrealistic to expect a team to win out every year, it doesn't matter how many 5-stars they get and how much they pay their coaches.

I think Bama pulled out quite a few this year that they shouldn't have but that is the making of a good team sometimes. When I see Bama passing as much as they did this year, whether or not its successful makes me smile... as to me they are slowly just becoming another team. Nothing would please me more than seeing Lamo over there again next year.

I thought it was a tough game, they kept it close... I thought the play-calling doomed them.

If those were SEC refs bet you would have seen a safety though, I didn't even think it was close but I know how it goes.
