So I guess we should be happy with a shot in the foot loss to Alabama and a previous blowout to Alabama, just like FSU was supposed to be happy they had the privilege of playing for all the marbles but went "wide to the right" for a couple of years in a row and lost out? I don't think they were happy and I am sure a lot of Tigers are not happy either. I'd like to see more flow than ebb with all this talent, but every year there seems to be some excuse. I'm not asking for #1 and MNC every year. I just don't like it when we do our own selves in, like yesterday. Like 1/9. Get it? It is very realistic to play your hearts out and lose legitimately and blame no one. Can you say honestly that yesterday we lost legitimately and did not shoot ourselves in the foot with that prevent defense after dominating the whole second half on defense and then conceding the Tide's winning TD by changing the D for that last possession? Do you really believe we didn't self-destruct versus Alabama (a mighty good team, true) on 1/9? If we'd lost to them in a mighty struggle, and without bonehead plays and questionable coaching calls, I'd say "ebb and flow" but no, in either case, we didn't.

Therefore, I'll repeat myself...

So IMO, until this two game loss streak to Alabama is reversed, I'll say "No, the direction of Tiger football is not all up and roses. There are major problems to address if we expect to remain among the present/future elites."
