What it looks like when a dynasty wobbles: thousands of Alabama fans hitting the exits like Derrick Henry hitting a hole. With 10 minutes left in the game, their team down 20. When the going got tough, the Bryant-Denny Stadium crowd got out.
What it sounds like when a power program loses its grip: the sliver of visiting Mississippi fans cheering last and loudest, celebrating their first win here since 1988 and their first back-to-back victories over the Crimson Tide ever.
What it feels like when the foundation cracks: denial is in the air. “They didn’t beat us,” Alabama cornerback Cyrus Jones said. “We beat ourselves.”

USC (California) got taken out yesterday too.

Saban is satin
OCT 3 and OCT 17, 'Bama plays on the road against a ranked team (#7 UGA and #17 TxAM respectively), and hosts #13 LSU on 11/7. Those games will show whether there is trouble or not.
('Bama is also on the road at Auburn 11/28, but that's a rivalry game, and Auburn was just exposed yesterday themselves at LSU.)
'Bama still has a beast in #2 Henry, an exceptional front 7, and a top coach.
Mr Forde is simply being a modern journalism major... posting utter tripe to get attention, because people will talk about it.

“Saban is satin”
Last night he was more like polyester . . . :)
The Tide done got rolled.
Bama has a great program but there are so many other schools in the country that have improving programs also. I think it is a good thing. Last year there was no SEC team in the final playoff. By the way....(Geaux LSU)
Rolled Tide!
Assuming she did, I hope we get to see video from Finebaum's call-in show on Monday...ought to be epic!
And i loved watching saban squirm.
Does Ole Miss have any trees for disgruntled Alabama fans to go poison?
I can’t wait to tune in.
As such, we may not even see an SEC team in the four-team playoff at the current rate....
Nice double payback for Kiffin!
They’ve got an entire Grove.
But Bama fans wouldn’t dare.
Not denial, a true statement. Bama's five turnovers and shaky quarterbacking gave Ole Miss several short yardage scoring situations and ended five Bama possessions with no scoring.
Being on the wrong end of a five turnover difference, it's amazing Bama still had a chance to win during the final minutes.
Whether Bama will find a steady quarterback who can eliminate most mistakes is the critical question. If they can, they can beat anyone on their remaining schedule.
Alabama is going to regret the day they hired Lane Kiffin.
