Can't blame you. Bama is the benchmark program right now and everyone else is looking up. But you are spot on, ALL programs have a window and ALL windows eventually close.
I'm 31. I grew up with a shitty Alabama team and always thought my old man was a liar when he would describe to me the years of dominance and of Bear Bryant. I was too young to really remember '92, so by god with 2009 came around, I enjoyed that more than any other sports moment.
