Some Bama folks will never understand that we are in the midst one of the best runs in Bama football history - frick the past and ENJOY the present!

Pretty much this - but don't FORGET the past. To do so could invite a return to the DuBose days.

Finebaum used to have Jim Donnan on his show a few years ago. Don't know if he still does or not. Donnan stated on Finebaum's show that a group of SEC coaches told DuBose to his face they were going to turn him if he didn't do something to get Bama's recruiting under control. I actually heard Donnan make that statement live

Just when I'm sure there's no hope, you go and make a relatively decent post.

I've never heard this story, but I don't doubt it at all. DuBose is literally the worst (yes, including Ears) to walk the Bama sidelines. It would be easy to blame it on lack of experience as a head coach, but the truth is he set the tone himself with his own personal behavior.

I'll never have any love for Fulmer but I can't blame him for Bama's problems during that stretch. If DuBose/Bama had been doing anything close to what they should have been doing, there wouldn't have been anything for Fulmer to use as ammunition.
