Top 10 Alabama memes cracking up the internet as Jalen Milroe & Co. falter to Michigan

Quarterback Jalen Milroe and the 11th-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide lost 19-13 to the unranked Michigan Wolverines in the ReliaQuest Bowl on Tuesday.

Although some thought Bama should have been involved in the College Football Playoff, possibly replacing the SMU Mustangs or Indiana Hoosiers, the Crimson Tide, and especially Milroe, fell behind 16-0 in the first quarter and never recovered. Alabama (9-4) made numerous mistakes in the first half, with the Wolverines (8-5) able to capitalize on many of these.

Here is a selection of memes on the Crimson Tide's struggles.

#1, The view from Kirk Herbstreit's couch

ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit has generally been accused by college football fans of having a bias towards Alabama. This is how he may be feeling after seeing the first quarter.

#2, Milroe's mistakes

Jalen Milroe did not have a good start to the game. This meme reflected on how he played.

#3, Shaking Hands

This fan has also delved into the mistake by Milroe, focusing on his passing struggles.

#4, Mistake followed by mistakes

Milroe fumbled the ball on one drive and followed it up by fumbling again.

#5, It's over for Milroe

This fan described the feelings of some fans on Milroe. After his first half, it may be curtains for him.

#6, Slipping and sliding

During a rain storm that affected the game, Alabama players were sliding around on the field after many plays. It looked a bit like this.

#7, A fallen giant (Or Godzilla)

Normally, the Alabama offense is one to be feared and is generally one of the strongest offenses in the country. It did not look like this during the early parts of the Michigan game.

#8, Wanting Saban back

There are definitely a few Alabama fans who want legendary coach Nick Saban (and the good times he brought) to come back.

#9, Makes you think

To some, the Alabama Crimson Tide had to be in the playoffs. But should they be allowed in if they were to play like they did in the first quarter?

#10, What a year makes

On the first day of 2024, Alabama played Michigan in the Rose Bowl in a College Football Playoff semifinal. The teams met on the last day of 2024 and are in a completely different state from what they were to begin the year.
