re: Casual CFB fans excited to see a "National" program in the BCSNCG

Go right ahead. Alabama is definitely a national team right now. But the true definition of a national team is one that gets a lot of attention by the national sports media regardless of how well they are doing. Alabama simply cannot say that this is true about their football program.

I will say that Alabama is fairly close to being a national program. You saw SI jizz all over themselves to pronounce Bama as "Back" in 2005 and things like that. But you just aren't on the level of NYY, Lakers, Cowboys, ND, etc in terms of that broad national appeal at all times no matter if the team is competing for titles or not.

And also, your characterization of me is laughable. You conveniently forget me siding with bama fans every time the 1964 debate comes up. You ignore me consistently listing Tuscaloosa as one of my favorite road trips to make, and you don't see me out here trying to argue Florida should be in the BCSCG or some other 1 loss team like K-State or Oregon like I would If I were the way you claim. I just call it like I see it and what i see when I look at Alabama fans are a group of people that are completely full of shite and hoped up on their own delusion. DWI
