re: Bama fans ...question about Saban's first year

Bama literally gave everything they had in that game because they lost the next three to Mississippi State, UL Monroe, and Auburn. They literally shut down, but the bowl game against Colorado brought back some hope. Once I saw Julio Jones and Mark Ingram in the game against Clemson in the ‘08 opener, I knew it was probably for real. Then that blackout game against Georgia confirmed it.
