Let us reflect on Saban's tenure for a moment

No wrong answer. Let's assume and hope Saban wins one more National Championship... which ring would you appreciate the most? His first against Texas that announced Alabama was back? Or the (hopefully) next that moves him past Coach Bryant. Or an entirely different one? Every NCG I find myself telling myself that If we win this one and don't win another for the foreseeable future, I need to appreciate the last decade and be happy. But I always find a justification to genuinely want just one more. This one moves him ahead of Bear. So now I find myself saying... 'Just one more...' so what is your favorite Natty under Saban and why?

2009 --- It was the first one and coming after 2008 it gave us the ultimate payoff. Ingram, Julio, that Defense. Beating Tebow/Meyer and Texas (and Auburn and Tennessee (Rocky-Block Baby!)) all in the same season. Heck in hindsight the only thing missing was a win against UGA, LOL! RTR!!!
--- oh yeah... UNDEFEATED BABY!!! RMFTR!!!

National Championships are like money. How much is enough?
Just a little bit more.
Just a little bit more.

1. 2015 - Bama's first play-off nattie and their first championship game that was truly epic since the '79 Sugar Bowl against Penn State; the on side kick, Drake's return, and all the explosive plays...
2. 2009 - Saban's first title at Bama and his only undefeated team thus far; Rocky Block, Cody 5, and Bama's first ever win over Texas...
3. 2017 - Another epic title game and perhaps the greatest play in Bama football history...and one of the greatest plays of all time, 2nd & 26; the game at Mississippi State was a good 'un too...
4. 2012 - An epic win in Death Valley and an epic SEC conference championship game and some payback to Notre Dame for '66, '73, '74, and '77...
5. 2011 - Sweet to get a mulligan to payback LSU for the earlier Game of the Century...

2011 was the greatest BAMA team of all time and would beat the current team like they stole something.

Probably 2012 season just because it solidified the “dynasty”. 2009 was Bama’s back, 2011 showed this was here to stay, and then 2012 to me was the just the epitome to me of Dynastic dominance.
Though truth be told all of them, 2015 and 2017 as well, are special in their own way and I could make an argument for all.

To me the 2009 has to be first. Then 2011 due to the opponent, Ls8u. By winning that game it cemented Bama ahead of them and set in motion their tdecline of sorts.
2009
2011
2012 anytime beating Notre Damne especially for a NC has to be high up on any list
2017 Tua
2015
If We win this year then we will repeat . Next years team will be better IMO but it is hard to keep the team hungry.(need to make sure a 2010 doesn't happen).
With recruiting the way it has been we may be favorites for the next 3 years. I want a 4peat and want Saban to reach 10 NCs before he retires.

Man, this is hard.
1. 2017 - the only one I really thought we would lose the game. Also Tua
2. 2009 - first and I was at the game
3. 2011 - This was just too much fun

This is -so- me. I'll take it a step further though, and even throughout the following season I try to LIE to myself like I don't want one again as bad as the last time... until it gets here, and there I am again, in full acceptance of the glorious problems of an Alabama fan. A fan experience so full of glory lately that you feel GUILTY not being able to pick a team and a year that meant the most...
It's hard for me not to pick the Texas one because it had been so long since the last one and because we all knew it just meant good things for our future teams if he won. We had our whole next decade or two in front of us and we only HOPED it would be this good... but none of us believed it... but hope is enough.
I think for me the UGA win last year was about as good as it can possibly get. That is a close second overall choice. Beating the dog f'king shite out of ND was nice, but frankly it was boring and my recent hate for ND simply wasn't allowed to cultivate enough. So then you have the LSU shut out. For 1 loss teams that win it all, that was a nice one b/c it proved we were supposed to be in that match. Beating Clemson was nice too...
There's no real right answer b/c my feelings can change on it a little, but my go-to answer if i HAD to would be to say the Texas win meant the most as a fan. As far as my favorite win as a fan of a specific team of guys and pride in their performance at year's end? I'll go with last year. That was some crazy shite to win that way... at the very, very end... against a very good team. Crushing their souls felt so wrong to enjoy... but enjoy it I did... tears by the gallon.
