Per TigerWins
"Do you want him to publicly rip into his team"

Well, he has brought up JR's deficiencies publicly rather through a Gridiron Club meeting or on his radio show. He also pointed out in his radio show Wednesday night about JV showing up overweight in August. Saban points out player performance just like fans discuss it on message boards. JMO.

Nothing wrong with that. Talking about their performance, or lack thereof, is normal for coaches and fans.

Now, if he stood there and booed them, I'd have a problem with it

fightintiger is right. beat a dead horse, its a more refreshing subject. Brando is still bitter he was run of town and disliked by most locals. Even though he has a sweet gig and a new 4th toupee' it doesn't make him feel any better about us.

He ripped LSU then and takes his shots now. Its total crap and I wish him starch in his underwear and moths in his rug.

This booing nonsense is more overblown than aids in africa.

I must admit i have boooed at games before.

But never at a coach or player.

I boo official bad cals and officials.

That is the way you let them know that they made a bad call.

I boo officials even when they make good calls if it is against the tigers.

When i was at NLU ( Now ULM ) me and my roommate were at the basketball game and one of the referee's came over during the timeout and offered us his whistle if we thought he was so bad. He really was too. A horrible official. We considered that a victory because at least we let him know how horrible he was. He must have been a Tech graduate because all Tech people stink to high heaven.

If i had been at the Auburn game you can bet i would have been booing the officials there at that game.

Thats my 2 cents.

This notion that everyone boos, therefore it's ok for us to do so is crap. You wanna be like everyone else or do you wanna be better than everyone else? Do you want a classless coach just because other schools have them? Do you want thugs on our team because other schools have them? Do you want a middle of the road football program because most other programs are medicore?

Unfortunately, booing and poor fan behavior will always be a part of sports. But does that mean you just accept it and not try to minimize it?

There are alot of problems in our society, do we just stick our heads in the sand and look the other way? Or do we talk about it and try to do something about it?

You have two choices ... be a part of the solution or be a part of the problem!

What do you want Saban to do? Do you want him to publicly rip into his team, like you have all year? Would that make you feel better?

You don't think Saban knows what the problems are with this team? You don't think he's doing everything he can to correct the problems? The man built a football program that most of us haven't seen in our lifetime. He's human, so he'll make mistakes ... but this team is 4-2 with the potential of going 9-2. Yeah, it's disappointing to be out of the hunt for Atlanta and it's disappointing to see us struggle. But given Saban's history here, I have to think it'll get better.

I find it interesting that some people love to be critical of everyone else, but yet they can't handle it when that finger is pointed back in their direction.

Its similar to the parent who does not appreciate the fans booing their kid. Would you be happy with the fans if they boooed the qb and he was your son. I think most people would not like that.

Dude we are 5-2...

Back to the topic at hand.

I made my annual visit to Death Valley last Saturday. We were in the South end zone (S-3 I think). I don't recall hearing much booing. In fact, I think the South end zone fans were doing a hell of a lot of cheering and offering encouragement late in the fourth quarter trying to get the Tigers back in the game.

I was in the south end zone with you,(S-2 AA6)
I don't recall any booing in our area either, we were cheering and trying our best to make as much noise as possible when Troy State was on offense.

No one thought the game would've been as close as it was but in my eyes
we are on schedule to lose 2 or 3 games and play a bowl game in January.
I said we would lose 2 or 3 games.

Theres no doubt that everyone is frustrated because we haven't had a pretty
win all year but so what, it may be an ugly type of season but all that matters is that we will have a winning record and possibly a top 10 to top 15
team by the end of the year.
Whether we win pretty or ugly doesn't matter, a win is a win and heres to
a good year regardless.

It could be much worse,
We could be like Texas and never be able to win the big game or be like we were in the 90's.

I think the Brando article is dead on but it could apply to any college team in the country in the same position, no doubt about that.
We had our number of fans going back and forth and have said the same things thats in the article about the QB situation from time to time.
Some people wanted to sacrifice the season to get JR ready for next year.
