Quote on Finebaum.."It's like Coach Saban teaches us. Did they beat us or did we beat ourselves and 99 times out of a hundred we beat ourselves and I think this was true on Sat."

And some people are surprised that some Bama players are running their mouths about them being the better team....I must say I'm thoroughly impressed in our team and the way that many of them have been quite humble and complementary of Bama

that's a standard defense mechanism after a loss.

i don't care what these douches say. they lost. it's over.

Otherwise he sounds pretty intelligent.

So Saban never loses. He teaches his kids that they beat themselves. Has nothing to do with your coaching decisions right Midget.

I like the comment he made concerning a caller's desire for the Bama offensive coordinator to call more play action. McElroy, "we usually don't call play action on an LSU type defense. LSU plays lots of man coverage so their safeties won't bite on the play action".

That answer clearly tells me that Bama has lots of respect for LSU's DBs and their ability to man up. Bama obviously thought it was too risky to throw into the heart of the LSU D on a standard play such as play action. That was probably a good coaching call on their part.

BTW, McElroy seems like a stand up guy and a great ambassador for Alabama, IMO.

Like I said yesterday, we as Bama fans sometimes need to cling to our delusions to make sense of things. The better team won the game on the field. Talk is cheap, LSU won the game on the field

hey greg.........sometimes bama "gets beat"....there is no such thing as beat ur selves......if thats the case lsu beat themselves in every game they lost in the history of football.....bama as a team reacts dif to certain teams......for bama, we beat u in "the mind" the last two yrs as well as on the field.....thats not beating urselves.......when u beat urselves, that means u scared(er) than the other team is......

ps what dre did with the on that hold... acting was bunk!!!

Let me get this straight. They were at home and were the better team yet they lost. Think that means they are overrated.

I actually went to middle school with him in Southlake Carroll. He was actually a really level-headed dude. Really glad we beat him last year.

The only way to beat yourself is to be the only team on the fricking field. Most overused excuse in history.
