They drone on and on about how Alabama will be great once they get better players under Nicky but they need to face the facts they the players they have are pretty good and not that far off from LSU's. Look at the rankings since 04' and the picture is pretty clear. Sure we have better players but AL had much better players than than they are taking credit for saying the program was in shambles when Nick took over. Check it out.
04 05 06 07 08 AVG
AL 15 18 11 10 1 11
LSU 2 22 7 4 11 9.2

Shut up and start winning.

Having Nick Saban gives them a lot to be excited about..

they have a storied history.. I understand their passion

But they are annoying as all get out

I hope we beat them like a drum

AU owns them....Tubby has always had success against Nick...they are going head to head...good for us IMO

Shula always had a top 25 class, the bammers are STILL using probation as an excuse, believe me I have family in Montgomery. Its pathetic how delusional those fans really are.

YES LSU has better talent, but the gap is not nearly as huge as the bammers like to think it is, but hey whatever makes them feel better.

What does anyone have if they have no hope?

I think most of them are just hopeful for a decent turnaround this year so it looks like they are headed in the right direction. Clearly, most of them overestimate Sabin's value but I think he can and will slowly improve them somewhat over the next 3 years.

However, in 5 years, I think some of them will begin to understand that the Bama of the past will NEVER return.
