There were numerous problems on both sides of the ball last night, but to me the biggest problem of all APPEARS to be something that was a little less tangible: heart. OU seemed to have it, Tide did not. I know, I know, I can't see what is going on in the head of those kids, but I just didn't seem any fire for this game. This was my biggest fear coming into the game. We were more talented than OU, but that is meaningless if your players don't go out and act like they want to be there. The last second loss to the barn I think took all the wind out of this team, and the season was over as soon as that game ended.

Having said that, though, I am still proud of this team, particularly the seniors, who go out the most successful in Bama history. I am also a little steamed that a certain poster on here who I shall not dignify by naming completely gave up and flamed this team and then didn't have the ....fortitude.... to stay around to answer. I don't have a problem with being critical of the team and how they played (goodness knows there was much to criticize last night), but man up and explain critiques and don't act like a coward (though considering some of the other posts that this person has typed recently, I guess I shouldn't be surprised).

I look forward to seeing what adjustments CNS makes in the off season to get us (hopefully) into that top 4 next year.

By the way, considering the state of the basketball team, when does gymnastics start?

Hey cbbama99 I think all is well. OH yea, I hope it wasn't me you describe.  I look forward to all the sports coming up especially Baseball. I just thought of something, does this remind you of when we went against UTAH? Just curious. God Bless our Seniors and may their future be grand. RTR!

The last 2 games there has been something missing that is difficult to put a finger on. Maybe team chemistry, play calling, or just the team trying to live up to #1 expectations all season. I will say that for anyone to put down this team and still suggest they are Bama fans is difficult to understand.We have one of the most honorable,well respected and well coached teams in the nation. For 1 or 2 games to expose the trolls or gameday fans and let them move to their real fanbase :BYE! and Roll Tide!

I'm sure some of our fan-base got nervous and sipped the spirits last night!Sometimes that brings out things we usually wouldn't say, and regret later. I checked in a few times and read the comments last night. But, I chose to get on the treadmill and exercise every time I got nervous. I got 2 hours and 3 minutes on the treadmill last night. That shows I was nervous most of the night! But, still very proud of the the way our team showed character after the game! Roll Tide!

I need a treadmill. 

I HOPE you're right about fans' reasons for their comments.  I don't mind folks stating the obvious when the team's not playing well, but when folks start posting comments that hint they know more than the coaches or attacks on specific players, then I get miffed. 

A forum has these problems; so it happens.  We all go on line to learn more about the team, so inevitably people blow their own horns when their predictions are right (but seldom when wrong).  Nobody wants to hear: "I KNEW ___ WOULD COST US A GAME" and such.  Players go on line too, and it can be hurtful to them.

Still, the forum is worth it when rules are followed.  Thanks to those who keep it clean and welcoming.

well put!

Good morning, all. Sorry I couldn't join in last night but had company in from out of town.

The morning after is tough but, the sun did come up and we all have much to be thankful for.

I have no doubt that our coaches will be evaluating and re-evaluating this game along with how best to move our team forward in 2014.

Finally, congratulations to our seniors and our team for a successful season.

Stating the obvious and what your own eyes see is not an attack. Calling names, threatening, and making outrageous statements about a person's character are an attack. Saying AJ had a bad game is not an attack. Saying Kouandjo had a bad game is an observation & in this case a fact, not an attack. HUGE difference. Questioning why Henry had only 8 carries is not an attack. Asking why we don't have a better kicking game or pass rushing is not an attack, it's a legitimate question, concern, & observation. This is America, isn't it?

I had to go outside a couple of times in the second half   
I'll admit that ...

but I'll still tip my hat to the Tide players and coaching staff
we had a bad night , it happens .

but I still believe we have the BEST players and staff in the WORLD
if we never win another game I am still proud of them all ...


I'm going to miss AJ , Kevin and the others
I hope the new guys can fill those shoes with such class and dignity


to our departing Seniors , "Thanks for the Memories"
there were so many great ones !

see ya'll on Sunday !

ROLL TIDE !



with all due respect to my dear departed Oklahoman step mother
who did a hell of a job trying to raise a dumb kid that wasn't hers

the Sooners are on my list of teams I want to obliterate , ASAP !
