Man...these fucking guys are something else. I'm really mad we've lost all chance of that #1 pick this season, but it doesn't matter. Jim Bates, the mastermind behind the team all along, has salvaged this season for us. Only 3 wins...but 2 wins more than Wanny was ever gonna give us. Bates's defense has been the lifeblood of this team for years, so I guess it's fitting that he steps in and saves the season from being a complete failure. The last few weeks, we've shown potential of what what expected before the season. Oh well, Saban has a big job ahead of him, and years of intense scrutiny and ciritcism ahead of him. But he's got one side of the ball anchored. Eventhough we're gonna have to dump Seau's old ass and probably shakeup the secondary, we're still gonna have a great defense. We need offense bad. I'm not gonna congratulate Feely, but he played better today and didn't lose it for us. That's very important. He's got the physical attributes, but he's not impressed me at all in his decision-making. I like how the announcers keep labeling stupid passes as "incredible" passes. Oh well.
Jim Bates better come back next year to keep this defensive unit together. Then again, Saban's supposed to be good in this area. I'm not impressed with his LSU defense, but maybe he can do it on the NFL level. But if Bates leaves, I hope he gets a head coaching position somewhere else. He's convinced me now. The Clowns suck, but it's still significant that we won this game, b/c it makes Bates .500 in his brief tenure, taking a nowhere team to a win over the defending champs has to have made his stock skyrocket. Good on him. Fuck you Fins, you blew the fucking season and now you're blowing the draft. Wow, another season of Miami fans getting double-kneed in the nuts. Thanks.
Hopefully we can lose comfortably next week and salvage something for the draft. There's nothing else to play for this season, and I think Bates has already made a strong case for his head coaching ability. PEACE.
