If 9 wins year 1 is “decline” then I’ll take it.

Year 2 and 3 should be 10-11 wins.

Year 4 watch out.

I've heard a sudden coaching change and mass transfers can be like getting kicked in the balls by a horse, but Bama will bounce back quick.

Yeah, the bargaining is next haha

Stuff like "this new transfer will make you forget about _____" or "but our QB development will compensate for the D" or "we will have more stability with less coaching turnover moving forward"

Going to be a fun off-season

Bro I’ve seen you with 10-11 wins before

9 wins would be Armageddon for Alabama fans. Especially with that being their lowest win total in 17-18 years

You’re absolutely not “taking” that

I know the Bama hate is strong here, and I don’t blame you for it. But take your hatred away for a second. If the rumors are true that Georgia and OSU are in a bidding war for a college player, and that this bidding war has already gone over the million dollar mark for a season, then college football as we have known it and loved it is dead.

You haven't been paying attention for awhile now, hoss.

And it's happened to us previously. Certain school has been happy to pay more.

This is rich coming from Bama. Lmao

Dammit we've got a well-adjusted Bammer here.

Quite possibly. The only question is, will whatever it morphs into be palatable at all. And we probably won't know for years and with some hindsight.

I can't believe we went from tight restrictions on everything to almost no restrictions on anything, and within such a short time period. Surely there's a way to impose some degree of reasonable middle ground limitations on things.
