If you have been a Alabama fan long enough to have endured those years, you appreciate what the Saban years have brought us.
I don't think it's boring to obliterate teams on a regular basis, because it wasn't too long ago that we lost to Mississippi State two years in a row. That's right--Mississippi State. TWO YEARS IN A ROW.
The way I felt leaving Neyland Stadium in 2006, any of the Iron Bowls during Auburn's streak, Starkville in 2007, and the low point--BDS after losing to Louisiana-Monroe, still boils in my mind.
After losing to Auburn in 2010, it reminded me how much schools that get abused by us, throw it in our faces after they beat us.
Because I know what happens when we lose (seriously, Texas A&M is still talking about it for goodness sakes), I will always cherish and be happy with the state of our program. We are in another Bear Bryant like era, and it's fantastic. It won't last forever, and soon you'll ask the oh-so-stupid question, "Do you miss when we beat everyone, all the time?"

I remember leaving Jordan-Hare in 2007 the night of #6 and also our 4th loss in a row after a 6-2 start and thinking not even Nick Saban could fix this shite. It still seems like yesterday. Was not a fun night to be a bama fan in Auburn that night.
Still can't believe DJ dropped that sure thing touchdown which quickly turned into a Powers interception in that game. :facepalm:
