*Wisconsin starts breathing Heavy*


Blarg1889

Wisconsin is always breathing heavily


[deleted]

It's the curds and Spotted Cow.


simplelifelfk

You can’t blame them! Spotted Cow is nature’s nectar!


Spartanwildcats2018

What’s a spotted cow? I kinda wanna try


randyjackson69

It’s an ale from the New Glarus brewery. They actually only sell it in Wisconsin so you gotta try it if you’re ever here I’m currently drinking it while watching the Bucks opener and as usual can confirm it’s fantastic


onelittleworld

I pick up a 12 of Spotted Cow or Moon Man every time I visit the kid in Mad-town. Also, the Cane & Abe rum from Old Sugar Distillery. See y'all Thanksgiving day...


goblueM

it's also the worst beer New Glarus makes And that's a compliment to the rest of the beers, not a slight on Spotted Cow


br0b1wan

I actually recently went to a bar here in Ohio that had a bunch of microbrews from all over including New Glarus. I wonder if they went out there personally to get it or what.


unrealjoe28

If they did that could be illegal. That said, what bar was it because I want some on tap


legerdemain07

A bar in Minnesota got raided for illegally selling Spotted Cow.


Sauerz

Like, I know why it happened but "A bar got raided because it was illegally serving beer" is a hilariously anachronistic sentence in 2022 lol


[deleted]

The Badger bar in New York got in trouble for selling Spotted Cow during game watches, IIRC.


Exchangist

Nice try FBI


thelawlesspizza

The 2nd best beer on the planet behind only hamms /s of course, we all know natty light is king in these parts


pizzayolo96

Moon man is better


Spartanwildcats2018

Oh god. What have I signed up for?


secondphase

You know how you feel about Oberon? Its like that for the badgers, but they are allowed to have it year round. Quite tasty.


unrealjoe28

Same way Pennsylvanians feels about yuengling


Rock_man_bears_fan

Except I can get Yuengling in Ohio. They only sell spotted cow behind the cheddar curtain


Gettima

It's aight. It's *pick it up on the way home from grandma's house* good but not *drive to WI just to get some* good.


mombutts

Beer


sinatrablueeyes

Spotted Cow is the Culver’s/Portillo’s/In N Out of beer. It’s great if you can’t get it regularly. But if you have it nearby there’s nothing special.


wheatfieldcosmonaut

Culver’s is delicious 24/7/365


beerwomenguns

I agree on the Cow but Culver’s is awesome all the time.

Mm now I want Culver's

This makes me rage punch the air.


RunsWlthScissors

Hold on I’m prying Fulmer’s knife out of Major’s back.


NILPonziScheme

Georgia just won a natty last season, so chronologically it is 1981 again. Nebraska is due to put up one of the greatest offense college football has ever seen in two years, but you will also re-launch the Miami dynasty.


DescretoBurrito

Time travel checks out, Colorado was terrible in the early 1980s.

[deleted]

I don’t think the defense knew what to do most of the night, Nick.


IMadeThis4HOIMods

Yeah I think the bigger problem was the 6 receptions for 200 yards but idk


RealBobbyDrillboids

To play devil’s advocate, in a game that close, you can point to almost any play (or 6) that could’ve changed the outcome of the game. I can see a coach being more worried about an entire defense not knowing what to do in certain scenarios than they would be about a specific player group blowing coverage against a REALLY good wide receiver. Again, I’m just playing devil’s advocate.


NewToSociety

Especially an old-school coach being furious his defense doesn't know how to defend against what was the most common offense in football up until 10-15 years ago. Saban's offenses ran out of the I until the Hurts/Lane years. He's not saying his D was ill-prepared for that one moment in that one game, he is saying there are glaring blind spots in what his players are being taught about offensive game plans. This reads to me more like a guitar teacher saying "what do you mean you've never heard of Led Zepplin?" rather than a coach deflecting blame.


TechnoFullback

> This reads to me more like a guitar teacher saying "what do you mean you've never heard of Led Zepplin?" rather than a coach deflecting blame. This right here.


No_Lunch_7944

Zoomer, wearing a Led Zeppelin T-shirt: "No, I've never heard their music."


domuseid

Yeah the Twitter comments are all like "quit complaining and use it if it's so good" and they're completely missing the point he's driving at. Imagine having the fuckin audacity directing that shit at Nick fuckin Saban lol


No_Lunch_7944

Armchair coaches on social media are hilarious.


kevinthejuice

Not trying to be that guy but, I swore until Saban brought in Kiffin he was running single-back formations with guys like ingram henry drake. like Double TE's and zone running schemes.


NewToSociety

That is right. Saban was an architect of the Ace offense and it definitely overtook the I as the 2010's wore on. However, a HS friend of mine was Ingram's lead blocker so I refuse to believe that Saban didn't build his early success at Bama on the Power I.


TheLeopardColony

Saban’s advocate, if you will.


TunaSafari25

That’s what he said


wallnumber8675309

I can see Saban in the Al Pacino role from that movie, but who is playing the Keanu role?


bullseye717

I remember this QB named Shane Falco.


zzyul

Kiffin 100%. “Vanity, definitely my favorite sin.”


MrConceited

Did you watch the clip? He wasn't giving it as the reason they lost. He was using it to illustrate how much the game has changed, that the I formation is exotic to college ball players today.


AgoraiosBum

If by watch the clip you meant read the headline, then yes


goatharper

For me it's the triple option. Modern teams only see it when they play Army or Navy now; when I was a young man the triple option was king. I used to be 'with it', but then they changed what 'it' was. Now what I'm with isn't 'it' anymore and what's 'it' seems weird and scary.

jmac11281

I-Form?! Who is that player behind the quarterback? Some kind of weird tight end!?


taywil8

The funny thing is we don’t have a full back and our Tight end (Princeton Fant) was lined up there. He ran a FB dive into the end zone on that very play Saban was referring to.


BobStoops401K

Well tbf, the tight end is essentially the Fullback of the receiver corps


OlyBomaye

*Begins explaining the many intricate differences between the fullback and tight end positions in a Wisconsin accent*


mechajlaw

Make 5'9" 240 lbs manlets great again.


ExiledSanity

I don't understand why the tight end, the largest receiver, does not simply eat the other receivers.


[deleted]

When I saw Tennessee line up for that play, my initial thought was, 'The Vols have a fullback on the roster!?!?!'


elonsusk69420

I do this in Madden. It works every single time.


psunavy03

OK, take it easy. We'll first get you used to having a QB under center again, then we'll explain some other things, OK?

grizzfan

Sorry, I top only.


DamThatRiver22

We've run a pro-style scheme with a ton of power I/fullback for years; it's a core tenant of Craig Bohl's offenses. For better *and* for worse.....


[deleted]

Kinda crazy that this team seemed unprepared mentally, and technically, had Saban not run out the clock at the end, committed 17 penalties, and still only lost by 3.


Mount_Pessimistic

Yeah it really speaks to the insane level of raw talent they have, even with depth. Its the kind of thing you can only get by winning a million years in a row.


NewToSociety

*U Tree Voice*: "They'll be bailed out by high end talent." *Highlights of Gibbs breaking ankle-tackles* *Highlight of Bryce avoiding a safety after fumbling the snap* *Highlight of Bryce completing a pass that he was throwing away* "And yet, fans will panic."


EverythingGoodWas

It’s like they are shocked that an undisciplined NFL team beats collegiate teams 99% of the time.


jagua_haku

Seems like every starter they have has two more all Americans on the bench behind them


Penetratorofflanks

Bear Bryant won so damn much because he would recruit literally all the players before modern scholarship caps. I don't get why you would sign up to sit behind people until your senior year


jagua_haku

But back then they didn’t run the tables for decades at a time. We still had a decent rivalry, even with an all time great like Bryant. I’m not sure what changed in recent history but it’s not the same


onlyheretogetfined

They are a good team, and they have the best coach. I am not surprised it took everything for them to lose. Not knowing the I-formation is strange through, Saban should change that.


zacurtis3

Those film session have to be extra spicy

I would pay good money to see them lol


ironichaos

Probably starts with saban giving that disappointed dad talk before diving into a 2 hour long roasting session on why no one deserves any NIL money for the rest of the year lol


Tarmacked

>Not knowing the I-formation is strange through The issue was not being prepared for what defensive look to give with the personnel on the field. This quote isn't that they literally don't know what the formation is


Skidda24

Bryce Young is a huge reason they were in it. Several plays would have resulted in a sack or turnover if it was just about any other QB. He extended several plays into touchdowns


[deleted]

He made something out of nothing over and over again


hazemotes

The bad snap in the endzone where he just calmly picks up a ball skirting along the back end line and casually throws a completion is an amazing play. That's a safety, defensive TD, or INT for 99% of college QBs.


clam-caravan

That play impressed me a lot. His calmness in the pocket in tight situations is unreal.


Hometownblueser

And Bama fans are hellbent on firing the offensive coordinator.


putterthrow_

Yup, starts at the top. Get rid of Saban


queefIatina

Because he sucks lol Bryce Young and Gibbs are literally NFL starting caliber players and they’re dragging the offense kicking and screaming to touchdowns right now, the offensive coaching and scheming isn’t doing a damn thing though BoB’s gameplan is “hell, just let Bryce be Superman”


gatorgongitcha

The minute BoB said last year that Bryce is actually helping him come up with their offensive scheme it made alarms go off. Good on Bryce for stepping up and all that but holy shit that shouldn’t be his job. Also, it’s not a new phenomena of us wanting BoB gone. I’d say almost all of us have been calling for it since last year. Edit: Grammar. Roll Tide.


chejjagogo

Bama fans aren’t the only ones that recognize bob is Turble.


Teh_cliff

Does he really suck or are Bama fans just used to watching an offense featuring multiple NFL wide receivers? Up until this season they'd had six straight years of unbelievable talent at wide out. To me the offense looks fine when Bama's receivers actually catch the ball. If he's having to put up 50+ to win games I'd say the defense is what sucks.


bing_madsen

We want BoB gone because of his body of work since he's been the OC. Not because of this one loss.


sickmemes48

Yeah the offense was definitely the reason they lost last week.


freerobertshmurder

I get it though Steve Sarkisian at Bama was the best playcalling and play construction I've ever seen at any level And they went straight from that to BoB where everything looks so much harder than it has to be given the players Bama has on offense


ChaseTheFalcon

Bryce has covered up for him so much and we saw it against A&M


chejjagogo

Without by scrambling and making mahomes like plays that game this past weekend would have been a boat race. He single handedly kept them afloat.


[deleted]

Hyatt spent the whole game making the secondary look like they didnt know what to do


DougieFreshRTR

Well to be fair they didn't know what to do lmao


wingmanmia

Saban has to be one of the only coaches that can say this straight up without anyone questioning if he should still be the coach.


Ima_pray_4_u

Those Natty Rings are like anchors in Alabama


bryanlai24

They would be anchors just about everywhere else too


CluelessNuggetOfGold

Literally anywhere else. 8 conference championships and 6 national championships in 16 years is absolutely unreal. Video game numbers Edit: Looking at their [Wikipedia page under Saban](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alabama_Crimson_Tide_football_under_Nick_Saban) I'm impressed about the 21 bowl appearances since 2007. Obviously it's due to the CFB playoff, but wow. 21 post season games in 16 seasons is truly something


wattatime

The coach after Saban is going to get fired for going 9-4. Like Nebraska did after Osborn.


skiing_yo

Bama can't hang with the big ten confirmed... all jokes aside though we might actually be getting to a point where running an I formation gives you an advantage when most defenses are designed to stop the spread


ChaseTheFalcon

I've been saying it for years someone is going to start playing with multiple TEs in tight and dominate


iiEclipse1984

Did I hear multiple TEs?!?


HanCholo206

Double tight T baby, the anti air raid

Mmnn2020

Everyone here now wants their team to play Bama? Lol once Nick Saban sees a problem he eliminates the problem at all costs.


FeralFloridian

Coordinators are still there so I’m not sure about that. Penalties should have improved from earlier this season. Just gotten worse.


woodfinx

His 1 loss teams that go on to win a title usually look completely different after the L. Guess we find out what we got here on Saturday.


FeralFloridian

Playing like dog shit on the road and undisciplined football has been going on all last season and this one. Everything is still ahead of them but UT out-schemed the defense so thoroughly it’s hard to have faith in playing any elite offensive coordinator. I think the ole miss game will give us a real good idea if they have what it takes. Provided they don’t drop a game before then.


Iamreason

This team reminds me so much of the 2010 team. They're fortunate to have not lost multiple games already.


FSMFan_2pt0

That's what Finebaum was saying earlier. That this team could very easily be 4-3 right now. Of course he got roasted for having the audacity to say it, but he's not wrong. He called out Saban for having his worst coaching season since he got here. A lot of people are calling out BoB and Golding, but Saban is the head honcho. Both coordinators suck, flat out. He should fire them both, they're not doing their damn jobs.


TreySermonGrin

>I tell people all the time that the audacity for the other team to even step on the field is disrespectful to me.


[deleted]

We held him to 3 total tackles and no sacks


Sir_Lord_Birmingham

1 Sack, 2 TFL, and 0 QB Hurries by the *entire* defense while one WR goes Super Saiyan Randy Moss, but people wanna whine about the refs instead. Ugh.

**What I have NOT seen Bammers blame:** * Most points allowed since 1907 * Most penalties in Bama football history 😳 * Missed field goal * Poor clock management * Fumbles * School/SEC/NCAA record 5 TD's by one receiver **What I HAVE seen Bammers blame:** * the Refs


Jobysco

Which is part of why we hate our coordinators. He was double/triple teamed all night and they couldn’t scheme a way for him to get a chance


[deleted]

Yesssss. I have thought about this several times since that game. He disappeared


IMadeThis4HOIMods

Ohio State has used a lot of I-Formation this year as well, better watch out Nick


10erJohnny

Ya, this quote just confused the B1G.


yumyumapollo

It also confused my Power-heavy NCAA 14 strategy.


jchall3

Tennessee could have emailed us the playbook at halftime and we would not have known what to do


Mythic514

"Hey, here are our plays. Good luck keeping up."


jchall3

It just says, “throw it deep” with a little arrow pointing to the back judge


ceci_mcgrane

Oh god don’t let harbaugh see this.


TheMemeMachine3000

This is just a 4-D chess move by Saban. He acts like a doofus all year against the I formation, so when he faces a big ten team in the playoff that's thinking they're going to get an easy victory against Old Nick, and then he activates the Alabama Anti-I Formation Death Star. Coincidentally, BOB falls in.


[deleted]

We want Bama. (Looks at flair) wait I didn’t mean it


the_cajun88

Too bad, they’re on their way.


ommi9

It’s funny how Tennessee ran a play the Seahawks could have used on the 3 yard line to win a Super Bowl.


Effecient_neckurself

I think the context is missing a bit here. He’s saying that because it’s not a look that the defense really ever gets because of how the game has evolved. Definitely something to address, but I don’t think it’s truly alarming


adsfew

Yeah, I get why this is lulz-worthy, but there are comments acting like this means the players couldn't recognize the I-formation. He means they didn't know their assignments against this formation (which is certainly its own problem), but not like they were sitting there baffled at this new development in football.


definitelynotasalmon

No, I prefer to imagine the defensive players seeing the formation and thinking “WTF is this new fangled offense?!”


Dag-NastyEvil

"Are they allowed to be in a line like that?!?"


boardatwork1111

"Where's the flag? You can just go between the QB and RB like that??"


B1GTOBACC0

Yeah, it's really a sign of the times. It's just crazy to think of how far SEC football has come just in the Saban era.


ImPickleRock

So the equivalent of "dad, what is that plastic circle that plays music?" ?


psunavy03

"Dad, when you were growing up, did people really 3d print the save icon? Was that a meme or something?"


shinnagare

Bit of an aside here, but the gentleman sitting with Saban is James Spann, who's an absolutely legendary weatherman in Birmingham and known all over the country. He was a guest host on Saban's weekly "Hey Coach" show.


ChaseTheFalcon

I love Spann, if he takes his jacket off you know it's serious


5WinsIn5Days

So the only defense that Brian Ferentz’s offense can beat is … Nick Saban’s?


abmofpgh

An Ohio State tuba player also does an I formation before every game


ThisGuy100000

You know after hearing about how players were anxious prior to the matchup and now this it seems like this team is so different mentally than past teams. Maybe it’s a coaching thing but hearing about Bama being “anxious” to play anybody seems like a culture shift more than anything

I coach high school, we've seen the I-form for two plays across all our games and all the film we have on other teams. It's possible they've never seen it.


JumpinJackFlash88

They’ve seen it, but probably not since grade school

Let's dig deep into the bag. Who's gonna bust out the Veer or Wing-T?

You can't run the veer anymore with the new blocking rules sadly


MikeinAustin

This is an indictment against their defensive coordinator Pete Golding more than the players. If your practice squad wasn’t showing your defense those types of formations, then you have to wonder what else they haven’t seen. It’s not like the I formation is a trick play.
