Bama "Fan" DisOwns The Tide On Video
As I said...that loss may have been the best thing for this program in its current state.
I was in school at Bama from 2000 to 2006. My freshman year started with us ranked #3 and ended with our coach being dismissed. My final semester started with us being ranked in the top 25 and ended by having our head coach dismissed. And in between i helplessly watched the school down the road take 5 of the 6 Iron Bowls during my tenure.
We were the poster child for mediocrity. Still, I defended my team/school against the world and knew that the next year would be THE YEAR. I somehow knew Mike Ford and Nikita Stover would take us to the next level. Couldn't tell me Brody Croyle wasn't the second coming of Namath. Needless to say, I (along with countless other diehard fans) suffered mightily.
And all the while, I didn't see too many cars with Bama stickers and flags and rap songs and country songs, etc.
Then we start winning and all of a sudden our fan base grows by a million and these people are telling me they were fans the whole time? Really???? Where were you when Price got me excited by putting up 77 at A-Day and getting run out before a regular season game? Where were you when we were holding the rope?
Nah...Moo Moo (and all the other band wagoners) can go ahead and go. More elbow room for me to celebrate when we bounce back
