Alabama's run is impossible to keep up for an extended period of time. It just is. Sometimes its complacency (I doubt that with a Saban run program), sometimes you lose all your good assistants, and sometimes players just don't develop the way you thought they would.

In reality, the college football world has much more parity than the media would have you believe. On any given day any of the top 15+ schools in the country can knock off another.

Once you win so much recruits show up acting like divas automatically expecting a Natty to just be handed to them. None of them have any idea how hard those 3 teams had to work to win those championships.

You still need worker bees, those 3-star recruits that work their asses off and end up being the 5-star guys by the end of their careers. Sometimes the 5-star guys right out of high school have been pampered and have never really had to face adversity. You need guys with a chip on their shoulders.

:nod: That and the fact we spotted them 31 FUCKING POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!! :gaah:

You don't need to exaggerate. Bama boo boos contributed to Ol' Miss scoring 24 of their cumulative points. That last one was the hand of God... Or, the hand of Lucifer putting the sting in Saban's wounds, so to speak.

I cannot read anymore of this Bammer mewling and puking! One freakin' loss to Ol' Miss in Tuscaloosa?!?!
Curse! Spit! Howl! But this moping on the Hoop threads... Y'all should burn your favorite bit of Bama paraphernalia as penance, then return to form rooting for your team!

Nothing is worse than a downhearted Bammer expressing their inner angst.

Thats what made our 2009 team so good,because all of our older players were Shula recruits that were hungry,had a chip on their shoulders, and were great leaders. The 5 stars that Saban brought in complimented them.

Everything sports writers say and predict is true, so Alabama is fucked.

We got a new basketball coach and stole a 5 star recruit from some big school. I guess we got that going for us.

Sooo, Bama's a basketball school now? :noidea:
