Why was Bama so bad from 1992 til 2009 (sans 1999)?

I mean, I know your coaching hires during that time were questionable and you cheated and got some sanctions for it, but with Bama being Bama, I thought you would be able to overcome those things.

However, you guys were bad until Saban's arrival (sans a fluke year in 1999).

Did the fan base just give up after one bad season and didn't come back til Saban brought you to the promise land? I mean, you guys had some awful seasons in that span.

I will tell you, I was at the Florida-Bama game in 2005 when Prothro broke his leg and Bryant-Denny was not full.

We had to play catch up to our Big Brother Auburn.

It was a difficult time for us as fans. We rarely could show our colors or yell RTR. I hated it so much back then.

However, our boosters came up with a new plan and we found ways to buy...errrrr...get players excited to attend Bama again. Having King Saban has been a great source of income to the playe....errrr....Program.

RTR!

Not a lie at all. I was there, sitting in the nosebleeds and there were empty seats in the corners.

Yes, the lower bowl was full, I'll give you that.

It was slam fricking packed and a raucous atmosphere. And you weren't there. So you lied twice.

So, there were empty seats in the corners of the upper-deck? Like, above the endzones?

Why are you glossing over 1994, 1996, 2002, 2005, and 2008 during this 1992-2009 time period?

There were like 4 rows of empty seats where cranes were constructing the new upper deck, you know, seats you weren't allowed to sit in.

Also what a total arse whipping that was. Losing 31-3 to Mike Shula in total demasculating fashion must have been the lowlight of Urbans career.
