re: Alabama Spring Game 2015 attendance lowest in Nick Saban era

The slide down is exactly what you are trying to prop up.

I have a feeling some of you don't know what the end of a dynasty actually is and how it looks.

A dynasty, in most cases, doesn't go from 14-0, 14-0 to the third season 2-12. lol. Don't be so dumb. It is a slow bleed. Saban will be around for a few years yet so Alabama will continue to win 10-14 games a year. Once he retires recruiting is going to slow down and gradually you will see 1 more loss a year, then comes a second, and suddenly a few years has passed and you now no longer feel confident in winning the conference. It is a slow bleed.

LSU is going through it right now. LSU has plenty of talent to win at an elite level, but they just don't have it anymore. TN crashed and so did Florida. Florida has a long ways to go before they come back. Florida is a disaster. Wouldn't surprise me if Florida still struggles for the next 15 to 20 years.

Bama will have a 5 loss season under Sabin in the next 3 years

Don't see why this is so implausible. Defense that got lit up by a 3rd string QB, Cokessiah is a huge question mark and Amari Cooper isn't walking through that door.

Even the fans are startling to realize Bama's glory days are over. Bama had a great run from 2009-2012 but they'll not recover their elite status after their soul crushing loss to Auburn, Chokelahoma, and Ohio State. Saban will consistently lose 3-4 games every year and he will become the next Bobby Bowden.

I would laugh, but that makes me remember WE F**KING KICKED IT OUT OF BOUNDS AND DAMN CAHVIS'S DEFENSE COULDN'T HOLD UP FOR 50 DAMN SECONDS. I mean hell even a virgin could last 50 seconds inside Kate Upton.

Could it have been weather related. I saw posts from my friends in Dothan Al saying they were under tornado warnings and that storm would have had to come across the t-town and I hear they are not too fond of twisters these days.

I see this picture made it to Ohio too. It's not even a picture of A-Day from Saturday, as already mentioned.

Turns out that actually is a pic from A-Day. Taken by Michael Casagrande of al.com.

But it's from 20 Minutes prior to kickoff.

This has been mentioned a lot and it doesn't make it accurate despite repeating it. He had not takend "3rd string" reps since before the season even began when Miller got hurt. He had taken all 2nd team reps all year long and had for 6 weeks prior to the game taken only 1st team reps. The guy would start for, quite possibly, every SEC team in 2015, but let's keep the "3rd string" narrative going.

What does that say about your team if it couldn't even beat a team that got beaten by a "3rd string" QB?

when you win 3 titles in 4 years there's really only one direction to go
