Man, what just happened?

[fralo4tide]

Man, what just happened? I didn't watch most of the second half, not simply from the fact that I thought we had little chance to win, but part of my desire to cease taking the game so seriously in the future. I'm 38 years old and am trying my best to learn that is just a game, and that too many take it too far. Yeah, almost to the point of idolatry if you ask me! So I left the TV set and went upstairs to help my wife do some chores. I come back down a little while later and it was 55 to 36!

Was it halftime adjustments? Barn D start tiring? Our o-line took over?

Do tell.

Blake Sims woke up is what happened. We steamrolled them when that took place. Lets carry this momentum forward.

My advice - if you want to learn to take the game less seriously, be willing to watch your team lose while sitting on your couch and not saying a negative word. Of course, being an Alabama fan means that you will get fewer chances to practice, but it worked for me.

As for the comeback - Alabama started playing like Alabama, and Auburn started playing like Auburn. You were the better team.

Shades of 2010 going our way is what happened.

This statement is very true. We just have to relax and let them play it out. This team is a fun team to watch and you never know what your going to get except them playing the entire game and maybe a little longer in some instances.

This is not an entitled team like last year. This team is all heart.

I did that exact same thing in college. Worked well. My problem now is who I watch it with. Can't stand when people bad-mouth the coaches and players. That's when I have to leave.

I won't watch football with people who badmouth the players or coaches - refs are fair game.

I also won't watch football with people who want to talk during plays. Really? I am watching a game here. SHUT UP!

How can you possibly be a Buckeye fan?

Maybe watching football is not for you, bud.

This is something my non-Bama friends have struggled to accept: I'll gladly watch anyone play college football as a group and accept their gracious invitations to watch a game UNLESS it's a Bama game - then I watch alone and only alone.

Exactly!

I don't know how people can take a game that seriously that they can get so bent out of shape to the point they can't watch anymore. I guess I just have much higher priorities in my life to worry about than who wins a football game. I love Bama football but no longer let it impact my mood/attitude. To many other important things in my life..

 

[BamaMoon]

I changed clothes at halftime..that's what happened.

Should have been with me. Wife, daughter and daughter's boyfriend are all Aubies. The wife and daughter know very little about the game, just yack constantly. Finally, about half way through the 3rd quarter, I just turned and stared at them for what seemed to be about 30 seconds and said "Do you want to ask questions or watch the game?" (Very calm, yet very matter of fact)

It stopped. When Bama started pulling away, I just sat there quietly and enjoyed....
