This is the result on the field.

Brilliant formula and almost impossible to pull off, but Saban did it.

And the bye week is their best friend and our worst enemy.

But we need more 3 stars because we can develop them in the long run especially in the OL and at RB

At the end of the day it’s why he wasn’t successful in the nfl. Saban has to have the best players for his coaching formula to work.

It’s not Bama’s recruiting. The 4-5 stars WANT to go to Bama. Bama just screens out the ones they want.

No we need more three stars because they have more heart and want to be at LSU lol. That line always cracks me up.

There is an HGH program in place there and it isn’t even a question.

They then go through heavy steroid cycles during bye weeks and before playoffs.

NCAA only tests once a year and Emmert makes sure it isn’t before LSU week for his old pal Saban.


This has been going on since 2011.

Look back at them 08-2010. They were still really damn good, well coached, and stocked with great players. They were good, but they didn’t just destroy people like they have since 2011. Tons of close games but the coaching and players were good enough to win them clean.

It wasn’t until he lost three in 2010 that Saban decided to say frick it I’m not losing anymore.

Oh yeah, Emmert also assumed the presidency in November 2010.


That offseason, Alabama transformed from a really good well coached team that had gone 12-2, 14-0, and 10-3 with close hard fought games to an HGH superhuman freak show that hasn’t lost more than one regular season game in eight seasons and obliterate 96% of teams they play by like four and five touchdowns routinely.


LSU beating them in 2011 was miraculous, and probably the best win in program history. Saban and the SEC/NCAA worked the media and poll voters to ensure a Rematch and the roids/deer antler program kicked into full gear leading up to the BCSCG.

That was the night you started seeing their OL and especially their DL just manhandle and toss around grown arse men and camp out in the LSU backfield every fricking play.

That LSU OL and running game was a finely tuned machine all year long and that night they looked like absolute children playing against that juiced up robot force of Alabama.



Nothing will change until Saban or Emmert are gone.

Things have gone from tough to complete domination once Miles was fired.

10-0
24-10
29-0
Next year in Tuscaloosa???

That's honestly pretty much true. Bama doesn't recruit. They have an admissions process

this is a lie

we looked like total horse shite against UGA, too

that offense went through periods of suck until a big defensive or ST play got our energy level to the max. then once the other team was emotionally demoralized, we ran up stats on them

Georgia was a good defense and yes, the limitations of our QB and offensive system were exploited by them in the first half.


But we eventually ran for over 300 yards on them and scored 42 points.

To compare that to what we witnessed for 60 minutes on 1/9 is closer to a lie.


So we needed big plays by the D and field position sometimes to get the offense rolling. So what?

That doesn't equal the OL getting absolutely thrown around like puppets for 60 minutes without a single play LSU "won".

the problem with 1/9 is that we never got that big defensive/ST play

it was clear Saban was playing a super vanilla game specifically to avoid that. Bama dominated us that night and they were super vanilla and took no risks. it was clear by the 2nd quarter Saban felt confident a 9-0 lead was a win

in that game, the D let us down. every rational person should have known our O wasn't going to do anything

Completely agree.

But that could be said about the offense for 11/5 as well.


But on 11/5 we had some plays, moved the ball, didn’t get straight up violated by their DL.

1/9 was undeniably different.


ESPN article


quote:

”I showed them how to use it," Key said.

Key said about 20 players purchased the spray at a hotel room in New Orleans leading into the BCS national championship game against LSU. And he said he sold about 20 more bottles to players at the apartment of an Alabama player 10 days before the game.

Sports Illustrated first reported the connection between SWATS, an Alabama-based company, and several SEC programs.

The Sports Illustrated story reported that Key filmed a sales pitch to a number of Alabama players two days before the 2012 title game in New Orleans. The article mentioned former Crimson Tide defensive lineman Quinton Dial and current players Adrian Hubbard and Alex Watkins as being part of the sales pitch.

that game was 3-3 at half

also eric reid's amazing interception was that defensive play that gave us the boost to tie the game 6-6

had Bama's kicker not been horrible, that pick never happens and it's another dominating performance by Bama. hence why Saban didn't let that happen on 1/9

Everything is a conspiracy with you guys. That's a loser mindset. They just outwork everyone in season and out of it. Get your act together and recruit harder and work harder. Win out.

The first two plays were the types of plays Miles teams should have ran vs bama in the 2012-15 years. From there on it was shitshow mode.

Again, not disagreeing with your premise that the DST sparked ya throughout the year.

I’ve said the same thing over the years.

But I’m talking about the physical overpowering that took place along the LOS every play.

It didn’t look the same on 11/5 even though we still didn’t score much.

We got some first downs. Moved the ball, won some plays.


It just wasn’t the same thing.

Bama wanted revenge

no amount of PEDs can transform a team in a month the way you're describing. it's not possible

PEDs are a long term process that only help your muscles recover after workouts, allowing you to hit them harder and more often

PEDs aren't magic and don't have that quick of an effect

They can certainly make an impact after 5-6 weeks (Bama had a bye week while we played another top 10 in SECCG)



So when do we decide we want revenge??

Maybe after 8 in a row
