re: What is it like being an Alabama fan?

My college years were the Dubose years, so I know exactly how appreciative I should be and I am.

I would equate it to being married to the woman of your dreams. In the beginning, I followed recruiting and watched every live feed of announcements that were available. I bought all the championship magazines I could get my hands on. Clipped newspaper articles. Every bit of it was so exciting. Nowadays...its still exciting and I love very minute of it, but the new has worn off and those little things don't excite me as much. Every thing is expected now. And also like being married to a damn good woman, we won't truly know how just good we had it until its gone.
