There was a good number of Clemson fans in my section. Don't worry though. I fought them all IRL.

This was the same for Atlanta as well.. Washington fans were all around me in the Bama section. We just don't travel like we use to.. could be because our regular season tickets are through the roof. I have 5 Tide Pride tickets and it's ridiculous

Didn't we have a ton of fans when we played UCLA in the Rose Bowl, or when we played Hawaii in 2003?
Understandably, it's gotten expensive to be a Bama fan, but I really feel like our fans have gotten spoiled and won't go to games as much as they used too. Back in '08 man, it was like an invasion when we played on the road. Especially fun in the blackout game when our fans wore white.

I agree and the A game attendance has shown this as well. We haven't had 80,000 fans since 2011. We better enjoy this run now..it's once in a lifetime.

I don't think people not going aren't necessarily enjoying it, it just gets more and more expensive and harder to justify after doing it for a few of them.
It is what it is. As an old man with a family, mortgage, and Tide Pride dues, I totally get it. It's hard to justify sometimes, even if you really really want to go.

How many of our fans have been to see all four titles?
21-0 is the only title game I haven't been to under Saban.

Yeah. I believe Alabama brought around 26,000 fans to the rose bowl in 2000. Our fanbase was hungrier in those days.

We had 75% of the Georgia Dome.

Yeah we had the clear advantage in numbers that game. That being said, the Washington fans were really loud. Their noise level caused us to make some errors.

I had a coworker take shots at Bama for this. I asked him, "How many playoff/title games can you afford to go to?"

12k people didn't make him not snap the ball. I don't know why he didn't, but he didn't even look like he was set. I think he just spaced out for a minute. He was the only person that wasn't ready for the snap.

The LG even knew he needed to snap it because he started hitting him to get him to hurry up.

Spaced out? Really?

He was the only person not paying attention. Everyone on the field knew time was running out except for him. I think he was still making checks and pointing out linebackers. If your LG is hiting you, telling you to hurry up, you're not doing something right.

Where were your seats at the game? Curious to know if it was just my imagination, but Washington was much louder than I thought they'd be considering the number of people there.

Row 2 of the upper deck in the opposite corner from the Washington fans.

I didn't think they were any louder than the Florida fans at the SECCG.
And UF didn't have close to 50% either.
