Standing in the cold rain Friday at Tuscaloosa Regional Airport for at least 30 minutes, 17-year-old Erica Waits and John Michael Ford grinned widely and jumped up and down as the National Airlines plane carrying the University of Alabama football team touched down on the runway just after noon.

Ford and Waits were two of the three fans who were at the airport to greet the team when the plane landed. Airport employees said this was the first time they've ever seen so few fans at the airport to welcome the Tide home after bowl games.
"There's usually hundreds," said Michelle Latham, an employee of Avis Car Rental at the airport for the past six years. "This is the first time I've ever seen two or three fans. I think it's the weather. It could have to do with the loss. But with the way the fans are, even though they lost they've still done good. We're always going to back them."

Cool. When is the last time you hung out at an airport to see 18 year old kids hop off a plane? I'm assuming Chizik's hiring? People who do that are losers with too much time anyways.

I mean, if not driving to an airport and standing in the rain in 45 degree weather at night to greet your school's team that just lost or won a bowl game makes you a bad fan..............sign me up.

I place no blame on anyone for choosing to not stand outside to wait to greet a plane in really shitty weather, on a work day(for me and many other people.)

We have jobs.
Thanks for confirming that AU fans are sucking on that government teat.

I know a few people who waited for the buses at the Mal Moore building to greet the team instead of going to the airport. A couple of their kids for their pic made with Amari.

Please keep your players safe tonight. And pass the nachos.

Hopefully the players remember that feeling of getting off the plane and seeing all of 3 people to greet them.
If they're not gonna show up to the bowl game no one is gonna show up to welcome them home.

Alabama's fanbase is horribly spoiled, entitled, and largely lethargic at the moment.
I'm a real bama fan (grad, season ticket holder, etc.) and it amazes me how bad it got so fast.
It's just human nature though. People get spoiled and entitled very quickly, kinda pisses me off.
But hey, it's a better problem to be fighting than losing seasons.
