That return only happened because of the dang delay... Saban even said he felt responsible for not having the boys ready.
****Official Postgame Thread - Bama vs. Mizzou****
- Thread starter TIDE-HSV
- Start date
FWIW: a post from the Gator forum I frequent that thought you might find interesting. And I do agree - it is a privilege to watch a well coached Alabama team play. RTR!
--------------------
I don't think enough credit is being given to Alabama for their performance today in some incredibly difficult conditions.
They went into Columbia and punched Mizzou in the mouth from the first play of the game. Lacy rumbled for huge TD run, then McCarron started dealing and burnt them with that flea-flicker play that Charlie Weis used with us a few times (we just missed hitting it for a TD against Auburn last year). The harder the rain came down, the harder Bama slugged the Tigers. A weather delay was finally called and the vast majority of Mizzou fans chose to just say "screw it" and never returned - Bama basically "made their @ss quit" just like Saban preaches. It's true that the Tide lost a bit of their edge after the delay and made some mistakes, but that's more than understandable when you consider they were playing in front of an empty stadium at that point and already had the game in the bag. Still, it will give Nick some coaching points this week because, like he always says, it's about playing to their own standard - not anyone else's.
It's not often you can say this about other programs, but it truly is a privilege to watch these Alabama teams play the game. They do everything in such a textbook fashion and set a great example for other programs to follow.

thanks for that.
i find it funny when rival fans have a better perspective on how good we have it as bama fans; how well our team is coached and the immense effort they give
Back to number one in all major defensive categories! Amazing how good this defense is after losing all those players.

What's almost as good? Scroll down and see where API ranks. And, they still have to face us and Georgia. Those games might push their YPG given up over 500 yards.
not to mention they also have to play aTm this week who will light them up as well
No truer words spoken.
Some need to learn how to appreciate a win.
This was HUGE!
This may be the best Alabama team I have ever seen but we still have a long road, like I said we may see FL in Atl.
Not to mention la tech is still 119 out of 120. And only 3 yards away from being tied for last. So the A&M game make sense. Still wondering how they will do against lsu before us.
Not too hard to figure where this troll came from, with a name like "bammers" and a fake email address. Reminder, though - don't quote these guys. As I said above, we'll discuss the Fanning matter after we get Saban's take on it, if he gives one, and league action, if any. Also, with a "hot button" issue like this, it's sometimes better to let it rest for a time when everyone's not unhappy for one reason or another and people are less likely to be a bit too far into their cups. BTW, this is not an invitation to discuss our decision. It is what it is - final...

Hey Brad...you are welcome. Thanks for your support for us as well. We need it!!!
I liked how he used the phrase "rumbled" when describing Lacy's TD romp..
Why wouldn't we relate to Alabama's performances....it's all about mutual respect and love for the game we know as college football!
i'm glad y'all relate to our performances; with the exception of georgia, auburn and tennessee i enjoy watching well coached SEC teams play. my post was more referring to, and poking fun at, the hand wringing that has goes on in our game threads.I liked how he used the phrase "rumbled" when describing Lacy's TD romp..

If any of you were there you can probably relate to what I'm about to say. I don't ever want to make excuses based on the weather, but that weather wasn't just a little rain, a slippery field and a wet ball. That weather was an opponent in and of itself. When Cody Mandell was about to punt on our 10 or so yard line I really don't know how he even saw the ball coming toward him. Normally I don't think weather is an equalizer. It wasn't yesterday either....it was a whole 'nother opponent of its own.
Yesterday our boys beat Missouri and the weather. There was nothing more I wanted to do than get our team on the airplane and get the heck out of there!

Was Christion Jones relieved of return duties? He didn't return any kicks after taking the one 8 or 9 yards deep out of the endzone. Did I miss something?
