No way that's 65k. Maybe 35k

The last two years have been awful. 23-4 overall record and 15-2 SEC record with a SEC Title and a spot in the first ever playoff. TERRIBLE!!!

Uh, that's not A-Day son.

This is a very sad troll attempt.

That picture is not even from A-Day. The grounds crew added hatching to the sidelines this spring. Don't see it in that picture.

Yup, shitty as always.
Our 2008 and 2009 trolls used to get 30 and 40 pages. Ah, the good old day's.

Remember when Tennessee fans actually talked about their teams on the field accomplishments?
Well, I don't, because it was so long ago, but I'm sure at some point they did.

It's a double-edged sword for Alabama fans though. If a sellout crowd shows up, it's "damn, you gumps got nothing better to do than go holler roww tahd for a scrimmage?" If the attendance is below exceptional in any way, it's "Alabama fans don't care because they know their run is over."

Exactly.
Weather didn't help either.

Regardless, tDecline will be halted this fall when Bama rolls out a ferocious defense (second best in the SEC West, IMO).

The entire SEC is on tDecline, some (like Tennessee) just got a head start on it.

All dynasties come to an end. That is why it is always important cherish it when it is happening.
Alabama has had a dynamic run...the best since USCw in the early to mid 2000's. It is likely that Alabama will play for another national title or win another before things come "crashing" down.
Normally when a dynasty "ends" it is a slow bleed. Attendance drops. Fans start to bicker and clothing purchases drop. Season tick sales drop (sometimes). Media starts to dog you instead of hyping you up (aka overrated). And in the end the fans are always talking about wanting to fire the current coach.
alabama will slide back but will return again in the future. Just the way it goes.

The weather kept a lot of folks at home, I'm sure.

tv and chance of rain wouldn't have any effect on attendance would it, lardass? as if attendance at a spring game has anything to do with wins-losses.
