Interesting video from Stephen M. Smith on 3 reasons why  Alabama should be motivated to play Michigan. 

#1- Use the 2011 beat down of Michigan State for motivation next year.

#2- Playing a brand name like Michigan-Giving Bo and Loyd credit for that.

#3-Shut Harbaugh and Patterson's mouth. Great news here as the Tide's offense needs any extra fuel.

What did you find interesting in this video? There is no reporting or analysis. Just some dude's opinion. I clicked thinking it was the other Stephen Smith of ESPN which was probably a mistake in the first place anyway.

I will save others the time. Don't click.

Why would Alabama be motivated to play a "brand" like Michigan.  They play 4-5 schools every season with a brand better than Michigan.  I can see them getting motivated to not let a school with a "brand" like Michigan beat them (ie. don't let the 3-4th best team in the B10 beat them).

The only person here who's exhibiting hurt feelings is you.

Nobody is expressing disbelief that an Alabama fan has an opinion—some are just saying that there's nothing noteworthy or informative in his opinion.

I just clicked your post history and I have to say, you seriously are just the worst. Why do you do this to yourself? It seems like Michigan football brings you no joy, and bitching is about the only thing you do here. Maybe it's time for a new hobby.

I'm sure Saban has a lot of high-four star underclassment that didn't see the field much this year and are competing for playing time next year.

If a Bama player is returning for 2020, he better be motivated.

Alabama will be motivated. The thought that they won’t be is just an excuse in case they lose. I see Michigan as an equal to Auburn. Auburn beat them and so can we. Auburn got a few breaks in that game and we may need to get them as well. I think it will be a tight game and if we win, all we will hear will be excuses from Bama fans. They didn’t want to get hurt, they weren’t motivated, Tua couldn’t play, etc. Maybe it’s because the mighty Tide would’ve been the 4th best team in the Big Ten East this year.
