Is Alabama ruining college football? Don't know, don't care, and here's why

2 reasons

First, because football is cyclical. It evolves. There have been power house dynasties before... maybe not to this extent, especially looking at the possible outcomes of the next few years with the players we have currently, but impressive nonetheless, and college football has evolved and recovered, in most ways, for the best part. And they are still learning ways to try to keep what we have while embracing the new as well. So I'm not worried about our lasting impact on the game in the slightest, in fact, will be proud of our mark on it.

secondly, because frick all yall. After Coach Bryant, and especially after Stallings, the collective country, tired of alabama's on and off dominance of the sport, saw our low point and the evolving climate of college football, and made sure to consistently and relentlessly remind us of both it and what they believed to be the fact that we would NEVER recover and that we were in our rightful place as the most backwards state in the country (You will never see me deny that part though). The sanctions and the Trinity of Mikes, it honestly didn't look good from the outside. Those of us here however knew differently.

We knew the dedication UA has to it's football program and its rabid, as well as fairly wealthy portion of alumni and fanbase, that share that dedication. Most importantly we knew a coach of sufficient caliber would also see and remember these things and recognize this sleeping giant, the original OG of southern football that pioneered this entire region's athletic success in both this sports early years as well as throughout its storied history. And just as we all expected here, he did and one more in a long line of coaches before him, awoke that sleeping giant and used it to wreak havoc and fear (oh yes, much fear) throughout the sport to remind everyone of the fiery crimson red dragon of the south. He may lay down to sleep now and then, but eventually someone always pokes the sleeping dragon and when they do, it usually ends with country fried goodness.

It's not anger or bitterness, it's educational. You all just need reminding now and again is all. Plus that little thing that we have to keep winning championships to keep that top mark. Maybe this time we'll leave enough padding that our next nap won't be as detrimental to our perceived legacy as the last one. The way this one looked, you all really better hope not.

So I don't know if Alabama is ruining college football or not and frankly I don't care because Alabama IS college football, and we seem to be doing just fine. Don't worry, your teams will recover.... for your grandkids.
