You evidently expect a national title at least every other year.


Nope. Never said that. Never thought that.

Alabama has won every other year since 2014 but to think it will continue indefinitely is goofy.


I completely agree. Which is why I said I think the Saban era peaked in 2011/2012.

quote:

Alabama won only once in the 4 year span of 2013-2016 seasons, prompting these guys to say the same thing then that you're projecting to the future. Not sure which is more ludicrous.


Let me get your ramblings straight....So winning 1 Championship in 4 years is the "low" point and to expect that to become the norm is "ludicrous" for any outsider to assume. This comes two sentences after you stating that expecting to win a national title every other year is not reasonable? Which is it????

Winning "only" 1 out of 4 is terrible and ludicrous for anyone to say will become the norm, but winning 2 out of 4 is an unrealistic expectation.

You don't even know what you believe.

I said that spinning it the way you did, which is to try and make if look bad for Alabama, the 4 year span of 2013-2016, when UA won only 1, would actually have been the worst, and to dummies like Cowherd and Klatt, they figured it was all over, just like you're trying to spin now.

And yes, it's unreasonable to expect any team to win a national title half the time. UA has done it now for 10 years, but it's not reasonable to expect that to continue. When you say, though, that it's an indication that UA is falling if it doesn't win next season, it's exactly that.

Dabo obviously has his team where they are consistent contenders. If you have such great expectations for a team to win the national title half the time, you should surely expect your own team to win more often than once every 38 years.
