re: If Bama was undefeated and #1 right now would their fans still think the sport is ruined?

you read our board this is exactly the sentiment of the fans right now. The transfer portal has done nothing but benefit Alabama. NIl has not killed Alabama Drake May decommitting was about having ties to NC and not NIL. It’s a cycle and 15 yrs is a long arse cycle. Bama will be back at some point and will likely still be one of the 12 teams somewhere in that grouping. It may not be 1-4 every year like before but they’ll still be good enough under Saban to achieve that. Fans need to chill a little and just try to enjoy the team growing this year if they do. Won’t be a lot of turnover next year but maybe there needs to be.

This will be a down year by Bama standards. Which should bode well for the next couple recruiting cycles and seasons. Saban maybe needed a small amount of adversity to re-kindle the fire. I’m not looking forward to what I expect will be excellent Tide teams the next few seasons.
