No one has been talking about ND for 20 years.......Bama fans are everywhere and to say Bama is not a national brand, as much as any college football team can be, is just more butthurt nonsense from Bama haters

I hope you're joking. Every single year people talk about ND. About whether they suck or not. Now they haven't been relevant in national title talk. Make no mistake though, when all the conference commissioners say down to talk about a playoff, only ONE TEAM had a say. It was ND. Also, this shouldn't bother Bama fans that people don't think they are a national brand. I'd much rather be the most dominant football program ( which Bama has been the last 4-5 years)than the program with the most fan across America. I think it has a lot to do with northerner a mentality too. Northerners don't like the south. So kids up north , in rural outskirts ,aren't gonna grow up loving Bama.

Exactly. Alabama certainly isn't as national a program as Notre Dame but it IS a national program. I remember seeing a feature on a large group of Alabama fans from Bridgeport, Pennsylvania. None of the several dozen members had any connection to Alabama whatsoever. They would pick 1 or 2 home games each year and charter buses for the trip(s). These people had absolutely no reason to be Alabama fans (this was in the late 80s/very early 90s) but they were big Bama fans nonetheless.
I also saw/met Bama fans in the most random places when I lived and traveled out West. I remember getting a roll tide from a guy in Rock Springs, Wyoming of all places. The guy was a local with no connection to Alabama but was a Bama fan nonetheless. Those are the kinds of things you see about "national" programs particularly the large Pennsylvania group.
