1962 and had a lot of influences as teen. The Tampa Tribune sports editor was a UF grad and his brother had played qb at UF way back....he had daily column and I was reading newspapers from age six...self taught to read well. Spurrier was in play from 1964-66 and of course that was a great time.

I was always a fan but when I was ten(1990) and played on my first actual rec ball team and was able to get a much better understanding of the game. Then went to some of the summer uga football camps and stayed in the dorms and had a blast with kids from all over the state and toured the facilities and walked between the hedges.....I was dreaming big and lovin them dawgs

I can remember when Bryant died when I was in kindergarten. Don't remember much about Perkins teams.. but remember Curry Era pretty well. I can't quote scores and players for the specific teams, too burnout, but I clearly remember watching Curry games.

Yeah, seen the highs, lows and everything in between in hoops, baseball, football. Good thing is that at least one of these has provided highlights for most of that time.

1978. My Dad had 4 season tickets right next to this old guy that smoked a cigar all game long. I can still smell it and associate that with college football.
I can remember Phil Bradley running the option with James Wilder and the occasional pass to the Kellen Winslow.

Man, I didn't really start following Alabama closely until they started their decline in the late 90s. Almost my entire family are Bama fans. I was born in Alabama and lived their til I was about 4, but have lived the vast majority of my life in Tennessee. When I was young, Alabama was just always great and I figured that was how it would always be. Then when I was 12, in 1995 Tennessee stomped Bama 41-14 ending a 9 year winning streak. I caught shite for it at school and from then on, I was a true Bama fan. Yep, Bama getting their arse kicked made me a true fan. When Alabama started their decline I followed them closer because I was puzzled as to why they were becoming so shitty. So, I started keeping up with recruiting, coaching changes, etc. I could tell you the final score of every Alabama game from the past 15 years.

1971 Sullivan, Beasley team is my first clear memory. I would have been 7. Lived through the 31-7 beatdown, but got to block the punts the next year. Climbed the fence at Legion field as a freshman at AU in '82 when the streak finally ended.
