I'm just mad. We had that game. We could have won that game. We're playing so much better, and the refs didn't give us a fair shot. Our former starting QB screwed us over trying to play for himself. And ESPN couldn't have enjoyed Bama's win more, even lighting up cigars. They didn't even know who our players were.

I hope our guys get even angrier at this and push even harder. Let's take it to SC next week with anyone except number 2 under center. I hope he's in the transfer portal.

One more thing and it may be the most impressive thing...

We matched, maybe exceeded at times at certain positions, bama's physicality... Pretty much all over the field...

What impressed me the most was our fight on the LOS. Been used to watching Bama dominate the LOS on us for the last decade. We held our own last night. Did not expect that at all.

I might just be trying to make myself feel better , but I think part of the reason that this play looks so open is because Alabama was reacting to JG being a dumbass. It was well blocked but I don't think Crouch would have been able to walk in.

Pruitt should have taken JGs helmet and thrown it into an equipment bin instead of grabbing the facemask

If I was Pruitt I would've completely ignored JG. Like really, today I wouldn't have replied to him or his Dad missed phone calls. That would've sent a bigger message than that BS facemask tug.

For real though, JG should never see the field again. That impromptu QB sneak wiped away any sympathy I had for him.

I made the mistake of riding too long with our previous 2 coaches, and I think I may have made the mistake of jumping off too early with Pruitt. After Florida, I was done. I thought we had to ride it out regardless, but that there was little chance that he would pull it together.

It wasn't just the losses. It was how the team was inexplicably low energy, couldn't line up, couldn't execute... in every way and form, they looked regressed from last season and it appeared to be a carry over from the last two games of last year, and I couldn't reconcile that. I wasn't just seeing bad play... I was seeing bad play resulting from what appeared to be bad coaching. Formations were bad and predictable... I mean, we were all there. So I tapped out on Pruitt, just waiting for the time to pass for the next guy.

The last three weeks have been completely different. I'm not sure what happened, or why this team showed up to the season late, but I have hope again. Aggressive defense, a QB who can play, an OL which is quickly coming in to it's own and playing with an intense physicality. I'm not sure if Pruitt will be "the guy" but he is turning the corner when it appeared the job was too big for him. Now. more than ever, we need patience. I've seen enough in recent weeks to want to see where this goes. Hopefully, it's not the near misses of the Dooley era being repeated and we are in the infancy of building something special here.

Let's go get a bowl game.
