Need to be patient. Anyone here anything on Weston Davis? He didn’t go back in the game and our line got dominated when he went out.

Gumps haven’t been elite in 4-5 years. Pollsters think they were, remember they were ready to can deboar until 2 weeks ago

If that’s it why didn’t he just buy one?

So he’s either incompetent on what it takes to win or poor at resource allocation.

But hey we had Kevin Costner in town.

You are not realistic. Tigers have looked better this year than last. That is the truth. And to build a program takes time. Still true today. We are switching from Kelly’s laissez-faire to Kiffin. Next year should show improvement. What I want to see is improved toughness throughout the team. OL and WR must improve next year. And more Defense depth and toughness in the clutch times.

9-4
11-4
7-2 at this point

That’s Alabama’s record under DeBoer, far from elite. Not to mention he was handed a loaded roster, when Saban left.


This is sort of a myth. He had 40+ people transfer out when he took the job. You can say he inherited a healthy program, but the roster he inherited was pretty decimated when he got there. He essentially had to rebuild the roster.

We made a bunch of high-risk decisions yesterday, and almost none of them worked. That made the score more lopsided than it actually should’ve been. I don’t think the gap is as big as you think.

it might be the best. If we keep losing like this, no one will want to come here, not elite level players anyway.

Everyone has problems except Bama. Just ask UGA fans how much they have suffered at the hands of Alabama.

Every conference is dominated. tOSU/Michigan; Bama/UGA/Auburn/LSU

Remember the old Big 12 OU/Nebraska

Times change and Bama went through a long drouth after the Bear.

Georgia was not considered elite in 2019. Kirby changed the program around

Maybe if every player came out of high school yes and coaches were fresh off the block. That isn't the case.

Be more critical and accountable. It matters.

We moved the ball up and down the field on Alabama. We choked the game away. We shot ourselves in the foot every chance we got

Chill I think CLKs first year record at ole Miss was 6-6. He came on board just in time for the portal and didn’t really know our players. I will be upset if we don’t finish fairly high in the playoff rankings next year.

I know we’re still busy melting but we just need to steal Texas or Tennessee for this season to be better than last year. I think at this point it’s fair to say 2026 was a disappointment. You also have to consider we had some colossally rotten injury luck to go with the huge money roster.

I don’t know if Kiffin is ever going to win us a title, but I don’t think 7-5 is going to be the norm while he’s here. Financially speaking we’re in on this bet, if he can average 10-2 that’ll be a huge success for his tenure at LSU. I don’t know about y’all but I’m gonna enjoy my week and hope that we come out swinging to respond to this and let the chips fall where they will. We’re doing a lot of catastrophizing for losing three games.
