that's not their words, but i've heard many of them stating how proud they were of the team for getting this far, etc. Even Ole Nick said it. While there is truth to the statement, i've never heard alabama talk like this.
Let's face it, Nick is on the decline. Part of what Nick has had is his energy. He was coaching 100% of the time all the time. Now, he's turning into a wise old grandpa. Alabama has thrived off that energy and it's fading. Yes, his persona and gravitas allow him to recruit at a high level and keep the program going at a high level, but you can hear it from alabama nation - they know they are moving into the twilight years.
Kudos to those who won't get angry but appreciate what they've had. that's really what it is all about.

I dunno... if there is an obvious sign of decline with Bama, I think it's the performance of their OLine. Granted Michigan had a great DLine, but Bama's Oline got bullwhipped, 5 sacks in the first half. That used to not happen with a Saban coached team. I wouldn't be calling it a moral victory if it was UGA...that's just me.

So a program in decline beat your team and won the SEC Championship? Got it, Bulldog logic at it’s best.

Seems like the LOS is in decline all across the SEC. Didn’t see nearly as much physicality, nastiness or technique as there used to be.

That is not a moral victory. Are you new to sports?

They are now the Alabama Crimson Slide.

Georgia should not be punished just because they cant make it to the NC without winning the conference, unlike Bama. I can only imagine how many knee pads bama blew out to get what they got.

The SEC refs were on that field with UGA and Bama. It’s hard to beat Bama and the refs

Between Alabama and Georgia, who was the last team to make the CFP without winning the conference?

They skipped the grief phase and went straight to bargaining. They cannot handle the grief yet. I went from pure joy watching them cry, but now I’m genuinely sympathetic. Can you imagine going back home to your trailer having to turn your fat wife and medicate her bed sores, and not have the one thing to distract you from that nightly obligation?

How is that claiming a moral victory?
We lost a Heisman winning QB and best defensive player in the country to the draft. Had a starting QB that was completely unproven and whose prior OC suggested that he consider a position change. Had the least number of returning starters in the SEC and was ranked 125th out of 133 D1 teams in returning experience. Replaced both coordinators (although the prior ones were admittedly shitastic).
Realistically, we probably should’ve had a LSU 3-4 loss type of year, but we didn’t and ended up with an undefeated conference record and a SEC championship.
You’re a dumbass if you think that’s not exceeding expectations.
The moral victory was claimed on Monday night by the LSU, AU, and UGA fans…and buckI.

People thay say this are delusional. And im not an Alabama fan. Aside from GA fans, if Nick were to say Eff bama and became available, not one school would say no or think they could find better. He may decline but i dont see that now.

Just for the record Saban with Kirby was peak Saban. He has already declined from that stratosphere. Now, his teams are slightly less feared. Teams haven't done
well scoring on Bama, but even the decent ones have showed they can score enough on a good day. Bama's D went from top 5 every year to top 15 as soon as Golding started and has been stuck there ever since. No more Nonoffensive TDs scored nearly every game in some freakish season. No more top 3 defenses in football.
Today, there is no longer that special talent on offense on top of that. And we havent been able to say that since Julio. So maybe Saban has juice in the tank, but does he get back to what made Saban great? Keep in mind players no longer have to put up with his Captain-of-the-Ship shite since some buddy-buddy is willing to drop off a bag. Also keep in kind the 12 team playoff will be a new obstacle, and anxiety ridden people don't like much change. Not seeing it.

I'm sure you had to read it multiple times, sounding out each syllable, to understand it.
