I recall over a decade ago reading a topic on this website right around 2008/2009 about a prediction that Alabama would win 4 or 5 national championships in the 2010-2019 decade.

I dont mean some schlub's prediction. It was either a bet at a sportsbook or some computer model.

Am I the only one that recalls this? If not, does anyone have any clue where that was?

Thanks.

ETA: I recall thinking how insane the prediction was and everyone laughing at it.

I really do see LSU rolling out a virtually unstoppable machine this year. I don't see you guys (Bama) staying within 3 TD's on our home field.

Saban lost to a ULM team that Shula embarrassed....There is basically no difference in the top 5 recruiting classes.....please tell me what makes you think you have turned the corner? Going from 6-7 to 7-6? Good Lord you Gumps are dumb. Saban the Savior won't be around long enough to turn your program around. And answer this...when he leaves, who is next to save you? He might be your coach, but he doesn't like living in Tuscaloosa.....and neither does his wife. So.....who is next?

Another modern day prophet!

Bama fans were bitching about replay reversals back then, too. Just in a slightly different light.






Hang on a second...

It’s all good. I’m just messing with you guys since hindsight is 20/20. Honestly, after the 2007 season no one could foresee the type of run Bama had. It’s been, probably, the best run in college football history.

I just went and looked up my first post that shows up in the archive.

It's about Alabama opening the 2009 season against Virginia Tech

Agreed. It's funny reading that thread and seeing people assume LSU was starting a mini-dynasty back then. Good God, if only we had any clue what was about to transpire after the 2007 title

Well y’all were riding a good run; titles in 2003 and 2007 so I understand the optimism. But Bama just blew up after 2007. It’s been a fun ride for us Bama fans.

To be fair, Perriloux hadn’t been kicked off the team yet in those scorching hot takes. And I don’t think people realized how awful the Malveto DC experiment was going to be.

Edit: Upon further review Perriloux had been dismissed at that point. Those are embarrassing takes.

With Saban at the helm, you guys will never lose less than three games in a season.

Bama will continue to be a middle of the road SEC West team for the foreseeable future. The embarrasment you will receive in Tiger Stadium this fall will be epic.

We will be better this year than last. It will be a rude beatdown this year. I wouldn't attend that game if I were you guys. I'd go to the ULM game instead. Oh wait.
