re: If A&M doesn't win the NC next year, how big a disappointment is it?

you Bama guys and Saban knew what was coming this past year and they did not, could not stop him. He will be better next year. It will be a dogfight, but I understand...we will not surprise anyone next year. To the question? Seeing as how we have not won a MNC since 1939, our disappointment will be tempered by that fact. I hope we are trying to build something sustainable, not a flash in the pan. Talent is coming and JFF may not be necessary for our long term success.
