Predict the Excuse!

[Sirhornsalot]

What will CBS and ESPN say to defend the Bama loss?

I realize there's another half to play, but we need a head start as I think the machine will get cranking by the 4th quarter if OU is still ahead.

"Alabama just wasn't up for a game where they weren't playing for the national championship"

"This is not a picture of how the two conferences compare! This was an off night for Bama!"

or wait another day and hear

"Saban's negotiating for his new job was obviously a distraction for him. Otherwise, no way Alabama loses that game."

 

[JMagana]

You can see it already.

Everyone of those will be heard.

 

[seahawkhorn]

Hell, they were already giving excuses for Bama. It has been 32 days since they have played, guys.

 

[Alouha27]

I don't know but poor Foster may receive more death threats.

 

[YossarianRising]

What are they supposed to say? That OU is the better team. OU lost to us, so there's some evidence that they're not that great. Teams do have off days.

 

[HookemDTX]

The "special pressure" of having The Eye's of Texas upon him was too much!

You won.

"Bully Bob" taking Saban to the woodshed. Can't wait till October. The rivalry is going to be awesome.

I heard that one as well

Someone get on flight tracker for any planes leaving New Orleans in the next 20 minutes

Saban was worried that his Austin house would get vandalized.

A good QB changes everything and they have found the next good QB at Oklahoma. They just keep plugging them in up there, it just took a little longer this season bc they were counting on the Belldozer. This is NOT the same team we played.

Paul Finebaum was with Nick 24/7 in the month leading up to the game. Apparently it got to him.

It's the Texas coaching search jinx. Briles got beat, now maybe Saban. Put your $$ on Auburn Monday night!

Good post, very true about it not being the same team that we beat. I don't like Stoops at all but the guy can coach and has a team that has improved all season. He was mocked when he made the comments about the SEC before the season. This game means a lot to him I would bet
