I understand it's not what Bama is used to seeing happen, but everyone else isn't used to seeing superman bleed either.....welcome to mortality.

Bama has had since 2017 to get used to it. This is not new. Their dynasty was admirable, but it ended in 2017. Clemson signaled that when they stomped a mudhole in Saban’s squad the next year. THAT was something new. The following year LSU dominated them in Tuscaloosa when Bama never had the ball in the fourth quarter with a chance to tie or take the lead. This in spite of Derek Stingley uncharacteristically giving up two bombs for TDs. Since then Bama has been one of the best teams in the country every year - but only ONE OF the best. Still a great program their fans should be proud of but not the dynasty Saban masterfully constructed.

I loved Saban when he was at LSU, and I’ve enjoyed watching his Bama teams. But the sun is setting on that great man, as it always does. It’s a tribute to him that even in his twilight his teams are competing for the championship.
