Respect for the players (both teams) and the stadium.

Class by not looking like a bunch of lowbrow jerks.

Smoke your cigars outside and after the game.

I also remember riding elephants at Butler Field and elephants in the homecoming parade.

ROLL TIDE!

GO BAMA!

I agree.

This did not look like the same team that played UK.

I continue be frustrated by the lack of an inside game.

This is something that has seemed to persist through coaching changes.

They were missing layups and 3 foot jump shots.

Also, inconsistent 3-point shooting seems to be another historical trend.

Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports that the deal is worth $3 million guaranteed for one season, with incentives that could bring it up to $5.5 million.

I thought that was the case.

A quarter century.

Wow.

If BAMA continues their level of play from the SEC tournament into the NIT they should do well.


One caveat:

Free throws.

Got to make free throws.

That 6 1/2 minute scoring drought in the second half and missing free throws down the stretch sunk the boat against UK.

I am even more confident in this team now.

The Ark v. UK game was a game in name only.

 

BAMA is not going to lose.

BAMA is about to win their first SEC Tournament Championship.

In how many years?

Was Hobbs still coaching? 

Has it been multiple decades?

Saban going back to the Michigan State days for an OC pick.

17 years NFL experience.  More good news.

I am most excited that he has been the TE coach for the past three years.

I love those double tight end sets.  BOOM!

Nevermind the bald guy.

Roll Tide!

The "spread" is not the "hurry up no huddle" offense.

In this modern era of football they seem to have become synonymous with one another.

Incorrectly so.

I can have 4 or 5 WRs and let the clock rundown to 2 or 3 seconds before every snap and give my defense plenty of rest.  If your receivers are bigger, stronger, and faster than their defender they are usually going to win. No matter how fast, or slow, you snap the ball.

The hurry up when employed as a fulltime offense is usually done to give an inferior offense an advantage against a superior defense.

However, the run needs the pass and the pass needs the run no matter the scheme.

Coach Bryant also said, "When you pass the ball three things can happen and only one of them is good."

I also agree that one less three-and-out would have secured the game, or the one drive that stalled and resulted in a field goal being a TD instead.  But, whatever.

Truthfully, with a freshman QB BAMA was lucky to be playing in the game at all.

Bring on Chip Kelly!

This is true.  There is a balance between power and the spread.


Allowing 21 pts in the fourth quarter cost BAMA the Clemson game.


BAMA rushed for over 200yds and averaged more than 6yds/carry.

The loss of Scarborough during the game cannot be understated and placed all the pressure on Hurts.

Also, Eddie Jackson's absence  made the elevation of the uphill grade that much more steep.


BAMA's passing game was most certainly anemic.

Clemson rushed for less than 100yds and threw for over 400yds.

Very "spread-like" offensive totals and scheme that beat BAMA.

I do believe that the behind the scenes coaching meltdown/implosion/ soap opera had a lot to do with the poor offensive performance in both games.


Coach Bryant said, "You lose one game for every freshman you play."

By his measure BAMA was lucky to have made it to the NC game.

He knew a little about football.


So, why do you not want 3 more SEC and 1 more National Championships?

Yeah, who wants 3 more SEC and 1 more National Championship?

Chip Kelly.
