I don't want to hear it. None of it.
From 1995-2006, the entire world of college football mocked us. We were called cheaters, coaches used us to get big raises from their schools, and pundits said we were an out of control fan base still religiously beholden to an icon dead for 20 years. When Fran left we were told we deserved it. When we fired Price we were called hypocrites. When we hired Saban, everyone said he was a cheating liar and would be gone in three years and leave our program in shambles.
But now that we do almost everything right, do the same loud mouths come around and say "what a great turnaround, you should be proud?" No, they accuse us of paying players, car and suit deals, over-signing, too many coaches, or having too much influence on the SEC (which given our 2010 schedule is nothing short of hilarious).
When we beat Texas, it was blamed on Colt getting hurt. When we beat LSU it was said we shouldn't have been in the game. When we beat Notre Dame it was said we were only there because Ohio State messed up and Oregon would have exposed us. Hey, we didn't make Ohio St take the Gator Bowl. And we didn't make the Oregon kicker miss two kicks, either.
I guess I can paraphrase Spurrier from the 1990s here: teams that can't win games will always complain about teams that can. And as far as I'm concerned, the Elephant Train is barreling towards another title. You have three options: 1) beat us head to head; 2) get out of college football; or 3) shut up.
Rant done, Roll Tide.
