This loss hurts, but take nothing away from LSU. Bama wanted it bad - LSU wanted it worse. Our kicking game bit us in the rear end - finally. Had Foster made only 2 of those field goals, we win that game. You had 2 teams with a lot of fight, great defenses and 2 offenses which couldn't punch it into the end zone...and it came down to OUR most glaring weakness - our kicking game.

It is what it is. We can blame it on coaching, and there are things many people don't understand about the play calling and I have NO idea why Maze was in there for a punt return. But regardless of the play calling, we had our chances in that game and we didn't get it done. It's that simple.

It was a true defensive struggle and the team with the best kicker won. That's it. No need to complicate it too much beyond that.

This, too, shall pass. This program is in incredible shape - granted we need to recruit a kicker and FAST - and I think we will. The future is bright, Bama is in the hunt EVERY YEAR. What more can you ask for? During the 60's and 70's, Bama won a lot, but they didn't win 'em all. Sometimes they came SO CLOSE to championships and came up short. If I remember correctly, 1969 was such a bad year that many thought that Bryant had lost his touch and Bama's best years may have been behind them. And we see what happened in the 70's.

So this is disappointing, but it happens.

We win as a team and lose as one.The coaches did the best they could, many of us know football very well. I know football and Cade tried his best. Second guessing makes us look good on Sunday. One call that has bothered me was the out pass to Brad that was a pick. Wasn't it first down? Thats a called play for the tight end, and a hard throw. The short passes over the middle were working, and we never roll out our QB to give him more time.

Did we pull any lineman and sweep our backs?. AJ has got to move up field when there is a lane. They has 8/9 in a box many times and we ran on first down up the middle too much.

OK, I'm done. LSU won a NC with two losses before and one loss nwas to Kentucky. The Sooners have lost to Texas Tech, The Cowboys need to lose to the Sooners, Standford to Oregon, as we win out our loss will be to a #1 team, so thas got to help.

Keep our head up, you just never know, remember Norte Dame in 1977.

. And if Bama could still play in the SEC championship I would agree. That is unlikely to say the least.

Did anyone notice when TR handed the ball off to MM, the force of the handoff knocked MM off track and the play blew up? You could hear the poping sound of the ball being pounded in his chest.

Re: ****Official Postgame Thread - Bama vs. LSU****

It is part of the recovery process. We love this team and this program, so the loss yesterday feels like a death in the family. We can only hope that our anger doesn't get our of hand. Being angry and venting doesn't mean that we should say things that aren't true or strike out in a negative way at people who love the Tide as much as we do.
That's why I said right or wrong. Often criticism or second guessing is going to be more negative than positive. I don't believe anyone on here has encouraged or said it is positive to strike out in a negative way. However, it will happen. The good will come with the bad.

This is one we let slip away. Untimely penalties and turnovers cost us dearly.
