Since Dabo was obviously coerced into tanking the Natty


Jan 15, 2020, 5:50 PM

...,for those of you saying “we were out-coached”, what was the trade-off?

Did someone promise if we threw the game this year, we’d get preferential treatment next year or maybe that Trevor will be a shoe-in for our 1st Heisman winner?

What makes anyone think that our players and our coaches didn’t try their best to win?

It was pretty obvious that the SEC had demanded that CLEMSON let them win, or they would take their network and their ball and go home. Saban does not like getting his tail whooped like CLEMSON did, and petitioned the NCAA to allow the SEC to get at least one win every 3-4 years, and to be ranked #1 so that they could have a BYE in the semis.

I don't doubt the Tigers were trying their best to win. I just think the offensive play calling in the second half was poor.

Offense seemed "disjointed" all night to put it kindly...


Jan 15, 2020, 7:45 PM

...was it poor play calling or poor execution? Dunno. Just could never get into a rhythm for multiple plays/series in a row.

While it would have been nice to win, what I'm more concerned about is the lack of transparency after the game. Everybody is only saying "better team, better team". While that was probably true, there has to be answers for this performance, not for this year, but for future years. Why has no single reporter asked the coaches about Chad Smith? Why is his status so secret? Why has no reporter asked about ETN in the 2nd half? I though surely he would but several plays for us late in the game LIKE HAS DONE ALL SEASON. Again, this is not sour grapes, this is about transparency, for moving forwards sake.

I want Dabo's answers to these questions...I trust...

...CDS to tell us straight up. Then, I will be able to let this go.

Money rules. We tanked to get the ratings. The plan will be discovered in a few years on a thumb drive found in a briefcase in Area 51.

That's a big leap from asking for transparency to full on conspiracy. I don't think anyone truly believes the game was thrown. But I do think it's reasonable to ask for full transparency on why this game was so different from all others, especially with the status of players and bizarre play calling.

I still continue to blame Jeff Scott and of course his father Brad. We will be better off now that the Scotts have exit stage left.
