Not even close to being the dark years. Look at the Ears Whitworth days.
How many of you on this board were alive and conscious of Alabama football during the Whitworth Era? Unless some of you are in your 70s, I'm going to place a bet that none of you were around and watching/listening to the Tide when Whitworth was in charge. So the period between 1996 and 2008 are the dark years for Tide football for the vast majority of us.
As for the person who asked me of my age, all you have to do is look at my nickname to deduce how old I am. I was very conscious of what was going on but I never really sat down to look at the records. I just find it amusing how close those records were to each other over that stretch of time.

I'm the same age, but I don't know anyone that wasn't aware of the trend by at least 2005.

I have a hard time calling a period where we had 4 10 win seasons, a conference championship, and should have played for another in 2002 as the "dark ages". Almost all of the losses during that stretch were extremely close. We were never a push over, just couldn't get over the hump late in games (sanctions had a lot to do with that).
