re: If y’all beat Bama, is all forgiven with Coach Eaux?

for me, all would be forgiven. You can't ask for much more than first place in the West after the Bama game. The next game he could lose and not take a bunch of heat would be the SECCG against #1 UGA.

He can't ever lose to another unranked SEC opponent by 30 or lose to a non P5 team again, though. That kind of thing can be excused in year one with some big wins to cancel them out, but never again.
