FSU is looking better

 

[18IsTheMan]

The Hot Seat Bowl. Kalen's is heating up.

 

[SuperCock99]

Bama (fans and team) look checked out.

 

[18IsTheMan]

Clemson fans right now:

The unspeakable ignominy of the SEC is terrible to contemplate. And this is a league that expects a fistful of playoff teams.

No doubt the league’s aura is taking a hit

Started two years ago; gathered steam last year; running balls-to-the wall as of today.

 

[18IsTheMan]

Maybe we spoke to soon about this game

 

[Sparklecity]

Maybe we spoke to soon about this game

I still feel pretty confident

Maybe we spoke to soon about this game

When was that?

 

[18IsTheMan]

When was that?

Well, Bama had cut it to one score with plenty of time left so who knew at that point

They don't have Saban-era toughness or resiliency. The decline was evident last year. They can't play from behind on the road. No Tua, no Hurts, no Najee Harris, no Amari Cooper - no vestige of any of them.

LSU is about to be scored on, I predict. Not a good debut week for the SEC so far.

 

[USCEE82]

This ain't your daddy's Bama. Another example why there should be no rankings until week 5.

 

[SuperCock99]

The reputation of SEC for week 1 rests with us and LSU. Texas and Alabama flopped.
LSU for the love of god better beater beat Clemson!

From Al.com

Alabama was more Shula than Saban in a scene that’s losing its shock value.

Ouch!

Well, Tennessee had no real trouble with their ACC opponent and Auburn, who needed some success in a bad way, got a nice road win at Baylor last night.

 

[bayrooster]

Looks like the Taters are benefiting from some home cookin. The refs denied LSU a TD, and then LSU missed the consolation prize FG attempt.

 

[18IsTheMan]

Should be SEC refs, right?

 

[Dallas-Cock]

Should be SEC refs, right?

It is SEC refs.

 

[bayrooster]

It is SEC refs.

That makes it more frustrating, I'm sure. Dabo whines to them either way.

I would love to see the meltdown on the Bama boards this morning, and of course Finebaum, no doubt on a crying jag.
It's a beautiful thing.

Bama fans don't have anything in their life but football. This is more than a blip, it's a serious downgrade. They won't let this go on long, regardless of the buyout.

The reality of the situation is that when you break it down to basics, fans do not make not or have to or deal with the consequences of those kind of decesions.
Bama of course has the resources to pay off an early payout, but barring a complete collapse (6-6 or worse) it would be doubtful a major change of direction would happen so soon.

Probably the last time they felt this way was when Mike Shula was their coach.

Franchione and Curry weren't great shakes, either, but our beating them down there greased the deal with Shula.
