News Article: selmaborntidefan & Elefantman & other TideFans quoted in IndyStar article today (12/30/25)

Does Gregg Doyel not understand that I'm not DISMISSING Indiana?

the rest of my post contradicts the point he thinks he's making:

I have a lot of concerns about us - but for whatever reason, we've tended to play better against the better teams, too (the SECCG was an exception).
 
Really?

No, it’s not just the snotty know-it-alls on this message board, or that one. The only place dumber than Twitter for legitimate discourse? The only place infected by more groupthink? Message boards, bloated by self-important, delusional blowhards named ElefantMan or LeBron47.

Well, he couldn't very well print your whole response! Not enough blogging room for that! :)

But that kinda refutes the idea that I'm engaged in an echo chamber here.

What's even funnier is that my quote appears in an AUBURN book about football and the 1989 season issued about two years ago, but that guy at least was fair with me.

Yes - and Auburn fan who happens to be a writer was fairer with me than a......ahem....journalist.
 
Doyel's X post linking the article has this with it:
The Rose Bowl’s coming. Indiana is respectful, and #iufb is ready. The view from Alabama “ain’t the same thing.”



"Respectful"? Seems to be true for the Indiana players, but their fans are a different story. It's pretty clear what message Doyel wanted his article to deliver.

If we lose it's your fault for providing "Rat Poison" and BB material. Saban hates you! :)
