Now that the Tide has dominated you for the 8th game in a row and are 28-9-2 vs the tigers, there are just a few things that i was wondering.

The next time Alabama goes to Baton Rouge in 2020, are all we gonna hear again is how hard it is to play in death valley?
Are we gonna hear about how Alabama has not played anyone so far?
Are we gonna hear that Taulia Tagovailoa ( after he signs ) is just too young to win on the road?
It's the same old song and dance every 2 years. It's getting comical if you ask me.

Congratulations. The college team you root for is good at playing the footballs. I hope this Post on an internet gambling forum makes you feel good about yourself.

Classic betting bias. We have a subconscious drive to look for reasons that support our wagers. Tough to be objective.

The Crimson tide are undoubtedly the premier program in college football the last decade. However, the real Death Valley currently resides in Clemson S.C. where the 1A program resides. This is the program that played the almighty tide to a virtual tie in 2016-2017, splitting national championships and being separated by one point. In our rebuild year, with offensive skill position players being more akin to boys than the Tide’s men (Higgins, Rodgers, etienne were all a year away and 2 of the 3 were hurt early in that game), with a qb a little too much like your own Jalen Hurtz (semi one dimensional), and with the tide being gifted a spot in the playoffs despite not even winning their own division (and losing to the team Clemson had beaten the very same year) and allowed to rest and get healthy while everyone else had to play an additional championship game to get in, the tide snuck by the Tigers in a third nc game where despite all those factors, Clemson was driving to take take the lead or at minimum make it a one point game late in he third quarter before the 2 interceptions in 4 minutes giftwrapped the game for the tide. That being said—all credit to the tide. They deserved and won round 3 fair and square. But somehow the narrative on that game has been spun a little too much to feed the Bama is unbeatable legend.

My point is, the sec greatness narrative is creeping back in thanks to espn and everyone else just parroting what they say. The fact is, the Tide are great, not the sec. Clemson is also great but gets a fraction of the praise. This year it’s because the Acc is AFWUL and PATHETIC. But if you watch the games and understand what talent looks like, then you realize there is Alabama and Clemson and everyone else. Georgia and Michigan are good. Notre Dame is a fraud and would get beaten handily. Oklahoma, Wvu, wash st, etc are fun but no. The talent that Bama and Clemson have stockpiled on BOTH sides of the ball is incredible—not to mention the experience and depth. I loaded up on Bama yesterday knowing LSU had almost no shot barring tua getting hurt and LSU having 3-5 crazy special teams plays and turnovers. So you’re right, no reason to fear that fake Death Valley. But the other Death Valley in South Carolina has a program that will give you all you will want. Here’s to Bama Clemson IV...and V and VI if tua and Trevor Lawrence stay healthy. And congrats on being the king...for now.

I am sure Clemson will get their chance.
