Alabama fans handling tight duel with Texas as poorly as possible
By John Buhler
Alabama fans messed with Texas and are having a bad time after probably doing so.
In the battle of aight vs. alright, alright, alright, things are not alright for Alabama fans aight, so quit asking!
Though there is still half of a football game to be played, Alabama is tied with Texas at 10 points apiece through two. Even with Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers suffering what looks to be a major injury, it might be in the cards for Hudson Card and the boys this Big Noon Saturday. Not since Texas lost to Alabama in the 2009 national championship have the Longhorns been back.
Crimson Tide fans are equating Pete Golding’s defense to experiencing Vietnam flashbacks.
Ruh roh…
If Alabama loses to Texas, Steve Sarkisian will become the third former Nick Saban assistant to beat him, joining Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher and Georgia head coach Kirby Smart who both did it last season.
Alabama fans are hammer-throwing mad about the first half vs. Texas, aight
Though Texas is prone to falling apart at the seams in the second half for #AllGasNoBrakes reasons, as well as Sarkisian still having some of that Dan Quinn Atlanta Falcons stank on him, Alabama is a superior second-half squad. The Crimson Tide make adjustments in between halves aight, so quit asking if the dynasty is dead. Texas might be better than expected, but this is Alabama!
Entering the season, the Crimson Tide were seen as the overwhelming favorites to win the College Football Playoff. They have made it to the big dance every season since its inception with the exception of the 2019 campaign. The Crimson Tide fell to Georgia in the rematch in Indianapolis after beating the Dawgs in Atlanta to win the SEC. These two teams can win the whole thing.
As far as Texas is concerned, people will clamor for the Longhorns being back if they beat the Crimson Tide. That may force the issue in the ongoing narrative, but they will not be officially back for realz this time until they win the Big 12 and make the College Football Playoff under its current four-team format. Once the playoff model changes, we must recalibrate what being back really is.
If Golding got a Saban ass-chweing in the bowels of DKR, aight might beat alright, alright, alright.
