This morning I was discussing Alabama's recent dominance with a friend who is a Bama fan. At one point he said, and I'm paraphrasing, "we deserve it, though. We went through some dark times."
I found this interesting. Is this the feeling of a lot of Alabama fans? Do you feel like your team deserves success more because the program went through a period of mediocrity? In general, do we try to justify some moral reason why our particular team deserves success over other teams?
I know in 2010, I felt like we (Auburn fans) "deserved" the national championship because of how many times we were passed over (1983, 1993*, and 2004).
Not sure if you're aware of this but pretty much every fan in the nation thinks his team deserves to win it all for some reason. It's just the nature of sports fans.

Then I guess the question is "what reasons do you use to justify why your team deserves it more?" Auburn fans use 1983, 1993, and 2004. I'm sure some of us think we deserve it because we have to occupy the same state as UA.
Alabama fans use the probation period of the 2000s.
