If anybody didn't like some of our conservative play calls last game (I heard some talk on the official gametime thread I believe) take heart. The Whinny Wanny era is over. No more, "well golly gee, at least the guys tried really hard" press conferences after losing big games.
Quote Saban: "That's all bull," he said. "It's an excuse, and I'm not giving the players an excuse. You either have discipline or you don't. If we're going to give them a reason to fail all the time ...
"Don't ask me about that stuff, because it's nothing but an excuse, and we've had enough of those around here."
Now it's true, the guys especially on defense gave their hearts and souls all year long last year, but we have lacked mental toughness to win the big'ns IMO. Even with the same players we became automatically better with the new regime rolling in last December.
