re: How were Bama fans during this stretch?

I was on bamamag for a few of those seasons and I can honestly say that a lot of us were in denial. Yeah...we lost a lot of games...but the vast majority of those were close games, with a lot of them being decided in the 4th quarter. I can't recall too many times where we were blown out. There were a few...but not many. I think a lot of us thought that, with a little tweak of the offense here and a little tweak of the defense there, we could get back to winning championships. It wasn't until Saban got here that we realized that we were nowhere near a championship caliber team and that no amount of tweaking would have brought us closer to that level.
