The thing is, fans of every sport all say they want parity, that parity is more enjoyable, a better product, that a dominant team is bad for business, etc.

But if you think about it, it's not true. Fans love to pull for or against greatness. They are transfixed by it one way or another. Of course, there needs to be competition, somebody for the opposition to rally around, Lebron vs. The Warriors, etc., but I would argue there is competition. We are about to play Clemson for the 4th year in a row and I think they can give us a good game. We also have a rematch with Georgia that could get interesting. I don't know why people act like there is no competition here. There is!

If you think back to all the classic eras of any sport, you will almost always remember them by the great teams that defined them. This legendary run of Bama teams will be no different.

You're all just having a harder time with it because you're so close to it being in our conference, and you hate our team so much. But the idea that it's destroying the sport is simply not true. There are plenty of other things killing the sport much faster than the fact that Bama with Saban is just too damn good at this.

Like any other sports team or power that be, someone has got to rule the game/world. Why not the USA? and why not Bama? Wouldn't you rather Bama run the SEC instead of Georgia or LSU? On the national level, would you rather it be Notre Dame, Ohio State/Michigan or USC? Think about it.

To paraphrase the open scene of Patton "Americans have always loved a winner ...always will" Secretariat vs Sham...that Belmont was packed, people still watch it on youtube. The ticket to the 100m Olympic finals with Bolt ...was like winning a lottery. Tiger Woods took golf viewership to new heights because people wanted to see just what he was going to do. He could be 5 back but you knew he was going to produce something momentous somewhere...Jordan and the Bulls. Is Bama in those categories, not sure to that level yet but I would think that if Bama and Clemson stay on track then the resulting natl championship will top the previous title games...and Tubbs will be watching
