Bama Game Thread: Official Postgame Thread - Bama @ Vandy...

We will get over this.

Nah, we should fire everyone and focus on basketball, this season is over.

 

[JDCrimson]

Yes, and I remember the Pancake Posse snapping the football and Tyler Watts wasnt even in position to receive the snap. The absolute low point of Alabama football.

We all lived through those years. I was at the Southern Miss game where they shut us out on our own field. At least Vandy is an SEC team. Next week will determine how the rest of our season goes.

I was listening to the post game show on the radio on my way home from work tonight. I don't know who it was that kept listing excuse after excuse for why we lost the game. It was we lost a 1st round edge and then we lost a 2nd round edge. We lost a lot to the portal. We have all new coaches. It's a different scheme. And on and on....
And I kept replying after each excuse out loud to no one, but it's Vandy!!!

It's not like it was LSU or UT or Texas. Or even arkansas or kentucky or south carolina. It was Vandy. This is a tough loss to swallow. Got our rear ends handed to us.

exactly - it's VANDY. any other team in the SEC you could imagine a slip up against, but VANDY. Sorry, but no. Even the coaches should be running extra sprints for this nonsense.

There literally is nothing worse than Dubose years, the whole 2000 season was the low point of Alabama football. This is probably the best Vandy team in 15 years. We will get over this.

Honestly you have the pick of 97 LaTech, 99 LaTech, 2000 USM, or 2000 UCF. Then Shula’s loss to Northern Illinois.

Heck i still maintain the 2007 Miss St was worse than this.

 

[B1GTide]

Sigh, can we get Saban to come out of retirement to coach this defense?

 

[Methylred]

Just making a point it's what was said last year. But we bounced back and went on to win the SEC. That was my point.

Fair enough. And we may indeed do it again this year. But we’ve got a much deeper hole to dig out of.

Or ULM in 2007

Dubose sucked. I didn't like him as an assistant, and really didn't like what I knew about him as an HC, but the level of talent we have amassed on the team now so far exceeds anything Dubose ever had, even when he was cheating to try to get them in.

Even with that disparity in talent, guess what, Dubose NEVER LOST TO VANDY! Not once!

 

[B1GTide]

Good night, yall. Roll Tide!

 

[PA Tide Fan]

Exactly. Bama has a strong likelyhood to make the playoffs with a 10-2 record.

This is correct. What it does do is eliminate us if we have 3 losses, and I do think the #12 team will have 3 losses. Had we lost to UGA, UT and LSU (where I thought the 3 losses may come) we'd still get in with 3 losses if a 3 loss team was chosen but not now.

This all connects back to Saban and his standard I guess. We've lived that life and now we come crashing back to earth. Sure, we're spoiled. But, when you're used to the best, this is pretty bitter pill.

I threw my fit a short while after DeBoer got hired and there was a bit of an exodus of 5 star players and I realized what Saban built wasn't going to be there anymore. Now it just is what it is, but it still doesn't feel anything like that miserable period between Stalling and Saban.

The #12 team will almost assuredly be the G5 champ. We were likely out with 3 losses regardless of who we lost to.

But he lost to LaTech… twice

 

[CrimsonNagus]

DeBoer has now accomplished one thing Saban never did, he lost to Vandy. Saban was 5-0 against Vandy. Shoot, Shula never lost to them either, he was 1-0. Congrats Coach!

 

[gtgilbert]

really though LaTech > Vandy. The SEC label only goes so far.

 

[Bamaparrotheads]

I'm only 42, but would y'all consider this loss worse than the loss to Memphis St. In 1987 or the NIU loss in 2003?

I think it's worse than either of those. The 87 and 03 teams didn't have nearly the talent that this team has (plus that NIU team was pretty good).
I would compare it more to the 80 MSU game. Also, this one brings to mind the 21-0 shutout to USM as far as embarrassing losses go. The Arkansas game in 1998 was pretty dang embarrassing also.
Today's humiliation is fresh so maybe it feels worse but right now it seems like the most embarrassing to me.

yup - way worse. it's vandy.

Hahaha

Well then get on the Freeze train because Alabama has peaked.

I’ll end the night with this. NIL has ruined college football, and this kind of crap is going to continue when players do podcasts and interviews during the season. They thought they had arrived and failed to prepare.
