Question: Does This Team Have the "It" Factor?

[Ark-Tider]

I'll say this.....I've seen fighters get their rear kicked for 11 rounds but find a way to knock the other guy out in the 12th round. So instead of the "IT" factor...I will call it the "Tough" factor. Tough enough to hang around until a clean shot comes. Tough enough to not fold when things aint going right. Tough enough to take a punch but stay on your feet. Bama is tough. We took our punches, stayed on our feet and got a shot in the end.

If we didn't have "IT" we would have lost by around 35 points Saturday.

There's not another team in the SEC who could have come from 13 down like we did yesterday in Fayetteville.

We basically got whipped on both sides of the ball and still won in hostile territory against an outstanding team.

If that's not a pretty good "IT" factor then I don't know what is.

I get what you're saying, but I see it a little differently. Bama's MO is to go out and punch the other team in the mouth. This time, it was the other team that came out punching. I think they just kept trading punches until one team couldn't take any more and their punches became weak and ineffective. Something like, make his butt quit!

I looked for one at Walmart but they were sold out :biggrin:

agree 100%, Saban's 1st team would have folded.

I remembered how they were complimenting how BAMA was very calm and they looked very confident. Personally as a fan, I didn't "wish" or "hope" that somehow we pulled through...because of the experience and top notch players we have, I felt like something special was coming and it did!!!


So I say YES, we have an "It" factor!

I guess you may be right...it might not be the "IT" I'm looking for or the one I wanted..........but "IT" worked....

ROLL TIDE !! :BigA:

For those that don't get it -- that's 18 "W"s in a row. That's the only thing you need to know to know if this team has the "it" factor. I'm not saying we're not going to lose, because (gulp) sooner or later, we'll have to lose -- but McElroy was right after the game - you're going to have to kill this team -- they're not going to go easy. They're made of champions now, and that's hard to top.
Roll Tide!
