I’m sure Auburn 2013 and LSU 2019 were unreal for their fans. Especially Auburn. That season was as magical as it gets.

But dude, 15(and counting) straight years of being in the NC hunt nearly every single week of every single year makes college football so much fun.

Each week there’s a new fanbase excited as hell to watch their team take on the Tide and attempt to ruin their season. Engaging with them is awesome.

And let’s not pretend Alabama hasn’t been in a ton of drama filled fever pitch moments.

2008 - Insane undefeated season with an amazing matchup in the SECCG
2009 - Pull it off again and get revenge on Tebow and Urban
2010 - Disappointment
2011 - Incredible season, amazing game against LSU, reach #2 after some epic losses from Oregon and Oklahoma State(do you realize how fun it was experiencing those losses to get Alabama back in it?)
2012 - Lose crazy game against aTm and thump ND in the NC(awesome year by any standards as far as excitement for a fan and it’s STILL underwhelming compared to how exciting most seasons are for Alabama fans)
2013 - Undefeated heading into the Iron Bowl and get kick 6’d(perfect timing to knock us down a bit and set up future exciting time)
2014 - Very exciting games and another tough L to OSU in the playoffs
2015 - The Ole Miss series becomes heated and fantastic and Alabama beats Clemson in an epic game to start their epic series
2016 - Dominant year that ends in disappointment with an epic loss to Clemson
2017 - Redemption against Clemson and the epic freshman comeback against Georgia in the title game
2018 - Get Clemson again in the NC and they get their revenge, terrible loss
2019 - Stressful year all around but still enjoyable
2020 - Back up LSU’s undefeated NC with Alabama’s own(take that, LSU!)
2021 - Rocky season with close/lucky wins and a beat down of Georgia before heartbreak a month later

As dominant as it has been, there have been SO many ups and downs and crazy moments. It has genuinely been a perfect roller coaster that keeps everything wildly exciting. On top of that it’s great watching the young talent grow and do their thing.

It has been amazing.
