thinking all they got to do is show up and win. I got a feeling that sly croom would rather beat Bama than ole sis, and thats like us and the barners. "Roll Tide"
Yeah, Croom this week in commenting on how many players were limited by injury, added ... "but it's Alabama week."I got a feeling that sly croom would rather beat Bama than ole sis "Roll Tide"
Yes. Before The last three home games really. The crowd is DEAD. They are dead during the Elephant Stomp, Before Kick off, and during the game. It amazes me the crowd expects the team to come out and play fired up, but they want to sit on their butts staying quiet. Make some noise people!We definitely need a big win over MSU, and it'll take the team not coming in and just being there. Has anybody else noticed the presence of an extremely docile crowd lately?
Croom hasn't looked well in the spotlight in areas of coaching, as well as not getting the job at UA. I hate to think how that's hurt him, but I guess that's life.
Well I wonder why. Looking at this season, and who our losses and wins have been against, I don't see a lot of reason for excitement and jubilation. Yeah, we're playing for our 7th win of the season....against MSU. Whoopee.Yes. Before The last three home games really. The crowd is DEAD.

The schedule was made far in advance of the season. Next year our schedule will look better with FSU and UGA coming onto the schedule.Well I wonder why.

You want some excitement? Start winning against the teams that count. Quit scheduling OOC teams that are on the very bottom of the D1A list and replace them with teams that have some significance.
Get away from the goal of "becoming bowl eligible" and step it up a notch or two. Set a new goal of "winning the SEC West". Quit playing with such mediocrity that we actually expect to lose to the same conference rivals that we previously expected to win against.
Since everyone else is spouting statistics, let me pose a question for them that will show my concerns in a new light.
When is the last time the Crimson Tide started the year unranked, was never ranked at any time during the entire year, and finished the season the same way? Just curious.

Oh.....Roll Tide
Perhaps this tells too much my age, but I remember when we used to dominate teams - our crowd was never up for them either (except the big games). It's the culture of the elite. The older fans like to watch the game and the ones in the middle (I'll crawl into that category) are the ones to politely sit down so that our drooling elders sitting two rows up can see the game. It's disgustingly civilized.Well I wonder why. Looking at this season, and who our losses and wins have been against, I don't see a lot of reason for excitement and jubilation.

And with that said, we better improve or those will just be 2 more losses while we beat the likes of Vandy, Ole Miss, MSU, Nobody-Monroe, NE Cream Puff State, etc.Next year our schedule will look better with FSU and UGA coming onto the schedule.
Quite frankly, the way we've been playing, we cannot take any team lightly, especially SEC teams...thinking all they got to do is show up and win. I got a feeling that sly croom would rather beat Bama than ole sis, and thats like us and the barners. "Roll Tide"
NE Cream Puff State??? LMAO, Nice:biggrin2:And with that said, we better improve or those will just be 2 more losses while we beat the likes of Vandy, Ole Miss, MSU, Nobody-Monroe, NE Cream Puff State, etc.
