Yeah I had it on the Bama game yesterday and my friend asked if we could put it on another game because Bama games are so boring. Theres zero suspense. Zero.
I'm sure it's boring to non-Alabama fans. The whole point for them is for there to be a hint of possibility at an upset (it's how I watch games like Clemson-Syracuse, too). We generally squash that within about 12 minutes. After that, why would you want to watch?

I disagree. Lots of times you do, certainly, but one of the constants of Bama football under Saban is that Bama is very much a 2nd half team. That's where they shine and overwhelm their opponents. Obviously, there are exceptions (*cough*2010IB*cough*) but it's a fairly reliable rule overall. I've seen plenty of teams hold Bama to a crawl if not an actual standstill in the first half, only to end up getting bludgeoned to death by the end of the game.

I mean, I LOVE watching that as an Alabama person, I just wouldn't figure a lot of fans of other teams would be interested in watching the 4th quarter of a 49-3 game.

Oh, okay, you were just talking about that particular kind of game, not Bama's performance in general. Got you.
I did watch our game all the way to the end, but Vandy fans are desensitized. Had a six-pack of local brew to help out. Well, a four-pack because the wife doesn't understand "boundaries" and how those apply to the phrase "never take a man's beer without asking." We're seeking counseling ove this issue, don't worry.

Watching Bama crush opponents like Saban was the reincarnation of Attila the Hun gives me priapism.
I find myself priapilactic oftentimes as well watching the Tide rolleth on

Were people asking Miami fans the same questions when they won for championships over a nine season span from 1983-1991?

I'm having fun. Although, when you win at the pace that we are, the losses hurt like hell because they usually occur at the worst possible time of the season.
Except the OM losses.

I can understand how watching Bama's lopsided wins would be boring for fans of other teams. If I'm watching a non-Bama game and it becomes a blowout I'll typically switch to another game. But I never get bored watching the Tide play, no matter how much Bama may be ahead.

Nope. Its like teams on Alabama's schedule are a line of inmates on death row and Alabama is the fricking hangman. Its fun.

I. like Saban, would like to see a 9-10 game SEC schedule with the other games played against Power-5 conference teams. If all the top tier teams/conferences did it, it'd be more entertaining to everybody.
