The revenge tour in 2008 was just special. not sure it will ever be that fun again.
Not unless we go through another decade of turmoil and pain, because you can't relive something like that again unless you are tasting success for the first time and doing it in a surprising way that wasn't expected.
I'm guessing Auburn's 2010 season gave them a similar feeling.
I remember my tears of joy in the Georgia Dome in the final seconds of the game knowing that we were Rose Bowl bound. That was a rough time for Bama fans leading up to that. I've no desire to go back to that any time soon for sure.

I didn't read the whole thread. Someone probably summarized it. Here is my take on what happened.
1. Saban was the first choice. The Dolphins season and future wasn't quite in the tank. He passed. He became more and more pissed at the media as the weeks went on.
2. Spurrier was the next choice. I believe he came close. Spurrier has said terrible things about his rival schools. He rarely (and maybe never at this point in time) says anything negative about Alabama. He respected Akabama and their traditions.
3. Rich Rod was kinda the last choice. He accepted the job (at least we are pretty sure he did) and then changed his mind when he slept on it.
4. Panic sets in.
5. We throw the kitchen sink at Saban. The 32 million $ contract blew him away. It also helped that he knew the Dolphins were going nowhere fast. He changes his mind and accepts the job. Of course, this leads to a clusterfrick at Miami. Personally, I believe he meant at the time all his comments about not taking the Alabama job. We just were panicked and scared and went full retard with the $.
