How many of Bama's 10 worst losses of the last 20 years have Kalen DeBoer accounted for in 1.1 seasons? Three, I think. Maybe three of the worst six.

What if I told you that FSU is actually a better team in 2025? Preseason rankings are based on nothing other than history.

Getting bullied up front for three quarters is a Bad Loss for bama. 14 points is also pretty bad by bama/saban standards.

OU, Vandy, and today. Buddy actually might be coaching for his job by season’s end. Not saying he should be, but that’s just the reality of today’s game.

He baled on Washington days after taking them to the national championship game. He’ll bale on bama before they fire him.

I’m happy for him and bama. Especially after he baled on the Huskies just days after taking them to the National Championship game following an unbeaten regular season…karma’s a bitch.

You can argue over the when, but last year plus today really ought to put paid to the presumption that there's something special about Alabama and that they deserve extra playoff consideration. Michigan beat them without a quarterback! The ULM loss is just funny.

That Calzada game was textbook “Oh shit! We’re in trouble” like 10 minutes in. Other worldly QB games don’t really count for me mostly because that’s what it took to beat a prime Saban team

There’s a reason that Saban quit. In the era of the NIL, recruits can make more money and win in places more exciting and much less racist than Alabama. It has nothing to do with DeBoer.

As a noted Alabama hater I think the Vandy and Oklahoma losses from last year are worse than the ULM loss. Maybe recency bias but that 07 team didn’t have anything resembling the talent they had last year.

In hindsight, a coach like Brent Key, an ex-Bama assistant, for whom physicality is a bedrock, would've done wonders with Bama's resources. Of course hindsight is superhero vision 🤷🏾‍♂️

Absolutely sautéed! Both lines of scrimmage have been riding the Struggle Bus for years...and the entire LB room decide to get on at the first stop this year. Castellanos is a tailback who happens to call cadence and the had him looking like pre-Sex Pest Deshaun Watson out there.
