When did the fan base realize yall had a winner and would be competing for title's soon. Was it seeing the team improve? Previous success at LSU? Was there doubt after his first meh year? I really dont remember. Kelly really seems to be building something. Just wanted to know when the bama fan base was like yeah thats our guy.

Saban didn't have the portal. Big difference maker for sure.

It was nice being able to point to 0 games where we lost by more than 7. But October onward wasn’t too encouraging

2008 recruiting class and how the team responded to how 2007 ended up.

The 2008 clemson game got me excited, the Georgia blackout game is when I knew. So to answer your question, about one season

2007 started great but faded hard and stupid people said stupid things. By 2008 it was clear Alabama was going to be a power going forward.

Arkansas. Team didn’t fold down the stretch in a four quarter dogfight. Vividly remember thinking ‘yep, that’s 100% a loss with Shula.’

The way Bama played LSU that year gave me hope. Had JPW not fumbled, LSU might not have their second NC trophy.

I was listening to JOX on my Sony Walkman at work when Julio committed to Bama. I knew then that we were on our way. He was such a big recruit and I knew things were different then. Shula wasn’t landing those big fish. I do thank Shula for locking Rolando McClain down for Saban though!

I blame the Colorado Buffaloes for his success.
