****Bama vs. LSU Postgame Thread****

[Bluegrasstide]

I think we needed a win like that (OT, on the road, loud stadium). I am tickled to death that Blake was able to step up when it counted. With that said, I don't know how many more of those I can take. Cannot wait to travel to Ttown next week for the Miss. State game. I am assuming it will be a 3:30, I mean 2:30 CT kickoff.

Press conference is good. I won't nitpick this game. Great ending and we won on the road. Let Saban handle it. He already mentioned we didn't play our best game.

So much for the naysayers.

Game thread was ugly.

 

[DocCrimson]

Ho Ho Ho! Four in a row!

Don't say that too loud or Jameis Winston might hear you and get the wrong idea. You don't want him breaking into your house!

We have the best coach in football!

Head coach

Did we play like crap the entire game, we sure did, but, you have to give The Swamp Kittens credit, they're D is really good & shut our offense down..But..Our Boys dug deep & did what they needed to do to get the win..The kinda win only a Nationial Championship type team can win..And that's exactly what this Alabama team is & that's a National Championship caliber typ team..The was a "Gut Check" win & our Boys answered the call..I've never been as proud as I am of this team..

Did y'all see the end of the game when Coach Smart & Kiffin hugged..That was one of the coolest thing I've seen in a longgggg time & it proves that Kiffin is a welcomed part of this team & has a great relationship with all the other coaches..It was awesome seeing Coach Kiffin celebrating like we just won the National Championship..Kiffin has found his home in TTown..

He was saying that he didn't hear the whistle, and it was kind of a weird play and they were kind of picking random times to blow the whistle. Bad play on his part, but with how deafening it was in the stadium I can get him not hearing the whistle.

Agreed - and it didn't help that the officials waited so long to blow the play dead. I was worried that LSU was going to rip the ball out of there.

Y'all remember that comment about Blake's legacy? Well, he won - so nobody is going to remember what a terrible game he actually had. Legacies are strange, but his is on the line again next week.

I kind of wonder if he was called for the hit in the back.

Game thread was ugly.

As usual, when I got overwhelmed with anxiety, I stopped reading/posting. I don't think I'm a fair-weather fan, but I am a fair-weather poster it seems.

 

[selmaborntidefan]

It's kind of funny to watch us WIN the way Auburn does on the same day Auburn invented a new way of losing.

 

[92tide]

i had forgotten how fun it is to listen to eli after a big win, especially a close one

And for those who didn't read the game thread:

 

[colbysullivan]

I still can't believe it. This one doesn't seem to have the same feeling as 2012. I was completely over the moon when Yeldon scored on the screen. This game though, I'm just happy we won.

 

[Loam]

I laugh at other teams fans who say that was "bad offense" in that game. Same thing back in that 9-6 game. These other conferences don't play defense like we do. 16 players on defense from that 9-6 game were drafted into the NFL that year. I'm sure its more of the same this season.

Clueless Big 12 fans saying it was a snooze fest and bad offense all around LOL. Big 12 isn't exactly known for good defensive play.

Roll Tide.

 

[TideMom2Boys]

You know we have our main stars like Cooper, Blake and Yeldon.


But I am so happy for the guys like Deandrew White and Griffith and Jones. They helped us win that game at the end.

 

[RollinTider1335]

How many pass interferences were called on the corn dogs???

 

[rgw]

We really got outworked for the majority of the game but they didn't quit and made all the plays down the last minute + OT.


I'm really REALLY proud of that because it says a lot about the character of the player but the overall gameplan on offense was pretty dang bad.

 

[selmaborntidefan]

And btw - I don't wanna hear jack about that pass interference at the end.

If they would have called the one in the first quarter where the guy was holding White's hand back - and the other one - there wouldn't have even been an OT anyway.

I was pulling for AU today. I wanted both teams to be 11-1 when we faced each other. Makes the IB much more fun.

Wash your mouth out
