I took about 5 days just to reflect on this past football season and on the just completed 5 year run that Bama has just finished before coming on here and posting anything. It is just really unbelievable when one steps back and thinks about what has transpired over the last 5 seasons. I've been watching since I was 8 years old (started in 1970) and have seen some great Alabama teams and seasons- but the 2008-2012 run is without a doubt the most impressive time frame of Tide Football- and that is saying a bunch after the great teams that Bear Bryant put on a field.
I really hope the younger generation has an appreciation and clear understanding of just how difficult these accomplishments are- do not take this success for granted. Bama is the complete envy of the entire college football world. Savor this time and be very, very proud. Put on your Bama hat, sweat shirt, T-shirt and completely soak this era in. For those of you who live out of state- walk around with your Bama gear on and watch fans of other programs just shake their heads- mostly out of respect.
These kids representing this state and university are an impressive lot- great character and discipline. Makes me very proud everytime I hear them interviewed.
If someone had told you 6 years ago that Saban would lead our team to 3 titles in 4 seasons- and that the last season would begin by beating Michigan 41-14 and conclude with smashing ND 42-14 for the NC- would you have thought that possible? Just incredible.
