New Story: Alabama creating disrespect where there is none

Alabama creating disrespect where there is none
Alabama has won so much that they are to the point of having to create something out of nothing. At Saturday’s National Championship Media Day at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, the talk from the Alabama defense was that they “lost” the championship game in 2016 or they are the underdog to Clemson.

They gave up 40 to Ole Miss this year, do they feel like they lost that one too?

me that the Tigers are running around loose inside their heads. Not only are the Tigers going to win, they are going to win big !
Alabama has willed themselves to lose !

Well think about it.. Bama takes pride in defense, what better way to make sure your team is focused and has an edge then to show the film from last years game. There approach is to dominate. They aren't looking at the film and saying oh we can't stop them, they are looking at it saying, this is how and why we will stop them. Now whether it works or not is a different story but a team that has won as much as they have won for reasons that are more then just talent. They are mentally sound. This is no different. To think Bama is lucid or scared I think is silly. They are mentally gearing up to try an make amends for giving up 40 last year. Whether it happens or not is different story.

No disrespect to Bama. . .they've obviously been the most consistent and powerful team for several years.
However, they won because the ball bounced their way (literally) last year, and their players and coaches know that.
These Tigers are terrifying, and it will take both teams their best to hold on.

feels like a "loss" because our defense gave up more points than they should. The Bama players taking on characteristics of Saban where they can find no joy in life I guess.
"Nick Saban, you just won another national title, how do you feel?!"
"Well it's been a decent season, proud of these guys, but we could've played better. We'll celebrate this one tonight and start prepping for next year tomorrow."

"The win didn't count"
Jan 7, 2017, 8:32 PM
|

This is one of the stupidest things I have ever seen. These guys are so spoiled that they don't count Natty's in which they don't blow a team out. GTFO of here w that.
I hope we crush them so they know what it feels like to actually lose the Natty. Yea, it will be a lot different you idiots.

Sound like the old BAIT and SWITCH strategy, Baiting you in to thinking that they are so great or they're that good (OR) Changing the outcome if they get embarrassed on the field. Covering all avenues just in case long before the game starts

I don't know what they learned. Box Score of Ole Miss game
Jan 7, 2017, 8:42 PM

this season tells a different one from what these Bama players are saying. Ole Miss put up 43 points and 522 yards of total offense against Bama this year. Maybe they studied the wrong film?

No , it's very simple. Saban is just challenging his players. That's all it is. It's a winners mentality. You gave up 40 last year, what are you going to do about it this year? That's all it is..

I hope we have a repeat performance from the fiesta bowl and just dominate them. At what point will they give this offense credit!? The win didn't count because they didn't dominate us or beat us comfortably. Man I hope we hang 50 on them and suffocate their offense. Then I want to hear what they say. Smh

Now they know how it felt to be us last year. We were undefeated, yet ESPN didn't believe we would outlast Alabama. The difference is, our disrespect was everywhere and evident. Whereas, theirs is made up.

into our heads. Well, from the comments, they are apparently succeeding. Hope our players aren't so gullible. This Bama team is good, and they know they have to stop DW in order to win. IMO, Clemson wins this one. But please stop falling for their pre-game trash-talking hype.

I sure hope Bama shows for the game; i.e., they want to be there.
( I remember when they forgot to show for the Sugar Bowl and Utah wore them out, since Bama didn't want to be there. I wd feel bad for the Bama players if that happened again.)
Hope your sarcasm meters are properly calibrated.

No it's a mentality. You look for things to make sure your team is focused and on task. This is an easy one for Nick. Clemson dropped 40 last year, all Nick has to do to challenge them is show them film. Scared is the last thing this is.. this is creating a mentality of " this isn't happening again". Not saying it won't but that's the mentality you have to take going in. You have to create challenges for yourself. Find reasons to go that extra mile. Create an extra edge.

I think some of you are missing the point here..I don't think they haven't appreciated the win I think you look for reasons to focus and boy do they have one this time. All Saban has to do is walk on the meeting room and say these guys put up 40 on you last year..when you have a standard and you didn't meet it, what are you going to do? That's what this is. I think it's great! If I'm Saban yeah I'm using that 40 spot as motivation to pay attention to detail. Now does that mean they will dominate Clemson? No it doesn't mean that but it does give you a challenge and if you are a winner , you like challenges..

I spoke to an AL fan leaving the Natty last year who made me feel better about the loss. He was seriously peeved at how AL won and said in his mind they lost and it was only luck the score showed a win. He was so angry it was comical. I told my kids I hoped they would never be ungrateful for any win, much less a Natty win. Clemson fans have an attitude of gratitude, not an entitlement mentality. Go Tigers!

Delusional and having everything to lose. Love it. Deep down in the back of their minds they know they're delusional. They're scared.
I have a feeling about this game. The intangibles could not be more in our favor.
