You sure Bama would have ever recovered as quickly from your sanctions?


No, Les was fired, the season wasn't predictable. It was exciting to watch. After the first game of the season dread set in of "watching another season of Les Miles football" is what I thought.

Know any good DL coaches we could hire whenever Saban retires?

2010, my Jr. Year at bama, gave me a new perspective. After going undefeated in 2009, you almost forgot what it was like to lose.....then South Carolina happened. For some reason that loss never got to me and it's made the few loses since better

Cheating takes the fun out of any game. But it will eventually return to normal and Bama will be held to the same standard as everyone else and live on probation like they did the 10 to 20 years prior to the Emmert/Saban gig.

Keep up this narrative if it makes you feel better, but you know the deal.

This story takes the cake

That nobody did ANYTHING about this, when Ohio St. and Ga Tech go probation for far less is proof that Saban has Emmert by the ball. This was just flat out ridiculous cheating in front of God and everybody. Not a damn word from the NCAA.

The game is rigged, and until someone (other than Auburn) sticks their neck out and calls them on it, it will be the way it is until Saban is out.

All hearsay from another school and still got investigated for 6 months. Saban's own staff admitted to paying players and didn't even get a second look. How long has Ole Miss been under the gun for the same thing Saban's staff has done?

What's funny is that we know that the eligibility of a star QB is going to end, but what we don't know is the end to the depths of The RECs "deep" pockets.

Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha (evil laughing)

Things always change and Bama will sooner or later. Saban will retire or go do something else, or they will just have a less than dominating season.

College football has had several dynasties and they always come to an end or recycle.

I really enjoy college football but there was no suspense the last 2 years. I knew that with a NFL ready defense that there was no way my team wasn't winning the championship. First round front seven coached by Nick Saban....forget about it.

I just don't get this. Fine, the SEC isn't giving Bama as much of a challenge this year as in years past. But there have always been dangerous games, upsets, and a frick-ton of talent on both sidelines. OM gave Bama a fight, as did LSU and even Arkansas to a lesser degree. And that's just the SEC. Though I'm sure there are plenty of them, only the very stupid Bama fans aren't concerned by OSU or Clemson. Most of the brighter ones should feel a healthy concern for what Petersen might dream up in that game. And there are other teams that could have made a serious run for the title even outside of the CFP field, like Michigan and OU, had things gone even marginally different.

I dunno. It feels a bit like sour grapes to say that CFB seems different because a team you hate is having a historical run. Did it feel "different" when LSU won 2 titles in 5 years and had 11 win teams on two other years in that span while Bama was wallowing in mediocrity? I'm sure it's not fun watching a rival succeed, but it's not the end of CFB as we know it or anything. Things are always changing.

I don't know if it's just age or what, but back even just from 2010-2012, the seasons felt magical. I was even superstitious sometimes for some of these games, like I would have to watch on a certain TV, etc. Alabama was good, but other teams like LSU, South Carolina, Auburn, and Florida would at least challenge them and have a chance to win. Even LSU could match up and get them if we played a good game.

Now, this yearly Bama dominance is taking the fun, suspense, and excitement out of some of these games. The rest of the SEC cannibalizes itself and we all have 4 losses while Bama just sits pretty in the CFP playoff every year. It's like watching small local high schools playing the best 5 or 6A team in the state. We just can't compete with the best anymore.

Even if LSU won it all in 2011, there was still a good chance Bama would have won it the following year and two more since then. It's beautiful to watch the defense Bama plays because it's so rare these days, but the champion is already crowned before the season starts. I won't pick Bama to lose more than 1-2 games a year for the next probably 5 to 10 years as long as Saban is there. It's for them but no fun for anybody else.

I just don't care as much about college football anymore. Every year usually ends the same way, and there's not much we as fans can do about it.
