Just glad we weren’t on the road for this one. The crowd sounded great. Great win.

He didn’t come out for senior day…

Could that be because he is not a senior?

Yeah the crowd was fantastic. That’s my 30+ booger game and didn’t expect our fans to be very enthusiastic. But I was happily surprised. It never felt like they were ever in the game.
sweet win. Sweeter still knowing the boogers want be going to a bowl and they still are stuck with glorified high school coach.RTR!!

Juniors have participated in Senior Day before in anticipation of moving on. Just sayin’

It was awesome seeing our home crowd packed & loud supporting our boy's..

Coach Saban always praised our home crowd for affecting our opponents for being so loud & I'm sure he was smiling as he watched our home crowd with pride yesterday..

Either way, I don't think we see Milroe again unless it's a playoff game. If he doesn't declare, he'll be in the portal, at which point he definitely won't play in the bowl game.

Hate to break it to you, but he is not going in the portal. I doubt he makes enough money anywhere else. NFL or return. That’s it.

Georgia and Auburn, the crowd was a huge advantage. Hope is back. Knowing is gone. The Saban era knowing you should win dampened the crowd noise. JMO

No, Vandy surprised everyone. We were unlucky to catch them early. I think we win had we played later in the season.

Who would have thought that there would be a time when Vandy was a better loss (if there is such a thing) than OU…?. What a season…

Under Saban, juniors participated in Senior day if they were going to declare for the draft. Since it was their last home game in Crimson.

He inherited a much better team. Coming out of probation with less scholarship players to begin with, Nick’s first team had 9 players arrested in a year and a team leader arrested for distribution of Cocaine, plus the text book scam . Players and Boosters bucked Saban’s total control until they either bought in or got gone. . I guess we have forgotten where Mike Shula left this program.

My point was more that the focus and cohesiveness of both teams probably weren't that dissimilar. Obviously the circumstances surrounding the program (and the sport) are not really comparable.

Instead of a making a hundred bucks off their textbooks, today's kids are making 10,000 times that in NIL. Now pretty much anybody can pay the players directly and no one bats an eye (much less gets suspended). But that has caused the players' motivations to change drastically. Now they're more worried about how much NIL money they're making than they are about winning. The "team" is a much less significant consideration.

Do you think CNS really had "total control" in his last couple seasons? He pretty much admitted that he didn't and that was the main reason he hung it up. This team and its players were a huge part of that.

Ultimately I would say that a team this "talented" stumbling to a .750 season (with some bad losses) isn't that much different than the 2007 team finishing at .500. And I think the me-first attitudes of this team's players contributed heavily to that which - back to the original point - is not that much different from 2007...

Should have given that ball to Demarcus Riddick............probably the only ball during the game he saw

SEC officiating is so corrupt. The AU player almost drove our guy to the fence!

The SEC office apparently doesn't care

Vandy magic ran out about game 8 . I think teams had enough film on Pavia in the SEC to defense him properly.

Yep - it is a shame that Alabama had them so early in the season and they had 2 weeks to prepare for that game.

Does the barn realize how incompetent Freeze is?

I was most worried about our inability to stop the run and that we would be Jarquez Hunter'd to death, but he barely touched the ball. I saw a stat where out of 9 plays in the redzone, Hunter got the ball once, and it was an incomplete pass.

Kind of incredible incompetence, really. We turn the ball over 4 times and still win by 2 scores.

It's almost like he was a good coach 10 years ago but the game has totally changed since that time and now he's in over his head or perhaps simply doesn't care and just wants his check.

Plus catching Alabama after an emotionally charged win over UGA where we spent the next two days reading the SM posts about “how great you are”. Literally a perfect storm for a Vandy upset.

I hope not.

Dan Mullen on the Iron Bowl-

.Jalen Milroe had 4 turnovers last week, but he doesn’t turn the ball over when he is running the football

I guess they don’t watch the games

 

[CB4]

Did we ever hear anything from the SEC office or head of officiating about the blown “illegal touching” call at OU? Silence was deafening.

 

[The Ols]

Now the real watch begins, will Milroe declare for the draft or do we see another game with him at QB? Time will tell.

He said goodbye to the student section after the game last night….
