Not a Melt...

But this is just a reminder that after last year's game I said that was the last time we'd have a chance at the West for a decade or so. We are farther from contending and about to get further. Won't have one good win this entire season. The reason we are mocked and scoffed at in the media is because of performances like this. Until we beat Bama under Mullen we deserve every bit of it. All of you who complain about our lack of respect DVR this game. Before anyone defends Mullen, remember Freeze has beaten them twice in a row so I know a team with our talent level can do it. We are a joke until we prove we can beat them.

I wish we could get them early in the year like OM can. You know this late in the season Alabama isn't dropping another game. They lose when it doesn't count. Early.

I disagree that

our inability to beat the best football program in the nation makes us a joke.

We're not even relevant enough to make Meltdown Time.

17 u Dan. Our OL was questionable but can't even score
A TD with the best QB and WR in the SEC is unforgivable.

Mullen can't beat Bama.
He hasn't beaten a team that ended ranked in the Top 20 since his 2nd year.

you might have a point if everyone on their schedule hadn't played them closer than we did.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Ok.

You're right, our inability to beat the best program in the country makes us a joke. I concede.

We got LSU early and didn't take care of business...

Instead of starting a thread, I'll just agree with this post. Questioning the playcalling of, arguably, the best coach in program history is hilarious to me. Their DL overpowering our OL dictated the entire game. Bama has the best defense in the land & they completely shut us down. Could we have done more, sure. This game was decided by a handful of plays. Mainly the three big ones by Bama.

Wait, we can't question Mullen? When did the pack become North Korea?

What do we and La-Monroe have in common? We are the only teams to not score a TD on Bama this year. Our offensive gameplan was severely lacking.

Look, I don't know jack about calling a football game, other than spending a lot of time watching others. However. I'd imagine that it changes with the flow of a game. We all know that our running game is below average. When our OL is getting blown up every possession, you can't abort the run and roll out pass every play. A defense such as Bama's will catch on. Added to it, when you get down three TDs, I'd guess that changes things as well. Feel free to question him, that's your business. I just think there's more to it. I'll agree, the 4th & goal call was weak, but Gray should've caught that ball in the endzone in the 2nd half. Also, there was an endzone pass to Wilson that was high & incomplete. I thought I saw Aeris open on an out route. Not that he would've scored, but neither of those are on Mullen
