The Blame Game:
Where should the blame fall for the loss? Coach Shula called the plays and made the decisions. Leigh Tiffin missed the kicks, the whole team could have played better and not been in the situation to begin with. Ultimately the blame goes to the coach, it is his job to make sure the team is prepared to play and win. With the big money, comes the responsibility. Coach Shula knows this, and accepts it, as any good coach will. Enough said.

In closing it is a real simple idea. Alabama plays in division 1A, on top of that, they play in the S.E.C. Competition is a way of life in a conference that is arguably the toughest in the nation. Alabama, like everyone else is going to lose a game or three every so often. It is not the end of the world. So all you doom and gloomers, who cry and whine at every bump in the road, go home and shut up. Alabama was not picked to go undefeated this year, nor were they picked to contend for a national championship. All us fans hoped for it, but reasonable intelligent people knew that it was most likely not to be. Am I disappointed that my team lost? Well of course I am. But “thems the breaks” as they say. File the loss under the life experience heading, put it behind you, and prepare for the next one on the schedule. We got some Gator stomping to do!

Anyway, Roll Tide! And if you want to be negative, you’d best stay away from me.

When they look back at that 9-1 season, they don't ask who the nine were.
