re: How were Bama fans during this stretch?

Having lived through that period with family at Bama and Auburn, I can tell you that it was entertaining. UGA was no prize either for the most part, but the irony is that there was almost a constant murmur to fire the Alabama coach, no matter who we was... even if he was winning 10 games. It was an ebb and flow between the fire that mother fricker's and the sniffling loyalists.

Feinbaum during that period was radio gold. The emotional coaching searches, whacky rumors, and all the cheating were better than anything until the discovery of free internet porn.

Imagine a news station on LA just after one of the Hurricanes. "Region in Crisis, day 7" That was the tone of the coaching searches and the Means case. The sobbing fans, the conspiracy theories on who tipped off the NCAA and how it was someone else's fault. It always was someone else's fault.

...and then of course, in the face of 6-6 and loses to 1AA teams... they could always fall back on Bear... how they used to be something during the Vietnam War.

So when I see these young, whippersnappers boasting of greatness and the Bama dynasty...
