The notion may be that Bama has more of them, I don't know if that is the case.
Motivation is key in this one.
two very proud experienced coaches in proud programs with history
perhaps the Bammer kids expected to be in the CFP, but I guess they have some pride

Anyone taking Alabama behind the shed (2+ scores) would be shocking.  It's happened exactly once since 2004.
That would have been Oklahoma 45, Alabama 31 in the Sugar Bowl after the 2013 season.

Bama was said not to have been motivated for that game.

That's 2 scores......nevermind.  I guess my every post is some sort of demented, slanted, pro-SEC piece of shit.  I don't know why I bother being as specific and precise as I am when it's just utterly lost on those who think me a nutjob.

We hear that whenever Bama loses a bowl game.

well,, it was ONLY 2 scores, but the games wasn't that close, and it was shocking at the time....

here's SBNation's account, not mine

https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2014/1/3/5268712/sugar-bowl-2014-alabama-oklahoma-score-results


The Oklahoma Sooners shockingly defeated No. 3 Alabama 45-31 in Thursday night's Sugar Bowl, riding a 31-point first half and an incredible performance by quarterback Trevor Knight to one of the most improbable wins of the BCS era. The Sooners (11-2) ran up 433 yards of total offense against the vaunted Alabama defense and did just enough to keep Alabama from catching them during a defense-heavy second half. The Crimson Tide (11-2) lost their first bowl game since the 2008 Sugar Bowl, and lost back-to-back games for the first time since that 2008 game.

It was alternately a 14-point game and a 7-point game all through the 2nd half.  Bama had more total yards.  The difference was turnovers.  But none of that matters.
My point was that the phrase "behind the woodshed" suggests a blowout, and I thought I very tepidly put that at any game over a 2-score difference.  It would be fair to say it's a wider range than that, but I was being overly soft.  And still it's ignored and thrown in the trash.

It's my fault for wasting time writing the post.

Maybe I’m the one who should clarify. If eight or 10 Of Alabama’s starters decide to sit out for the pros and all of Michigan’s people stay and play I would not be shocked if Michigan won the game rather easily. I am not predicting that I’m just saying I would not be shocked

behind the woodshed in my book means a whipping

is a whipping also a blowout?
Blowout to me means probably more than a 21 point deficit
but, we can agree it's your fault, hah ;)

So you're saying that "2+" does not include "2"?

That's news to me.

When we talk about streaks of, say, "10+ wins," I always read that to mean "10 or more."

Maybe I've been wrong about that all these years.

Regarding demented, slanted, pro-SEC pieces of shit, I didn't think that that particular post was one of them.  I thought you were talking about the game I mentioned.

This has clarified one point for me.  It takes a margin of victory of more than two touchdowns to qualify as a blowout or a woodshed whipping.

I will remember this in the future when I read accounts of Alabama's 45-34 win over OU in last year's Orange Bowl.
