The message in the phrase is about much more than this season's results, or what happens in the next couple of weeks.
The Crimson Tide has won three of the past five national championships. Under Nick Saban, Alabama has become the standard by which college football measures itself.
...last month, Kansas students chanted it while tearing down a goal post after beating Iowa State. The Jayhawks finished 3-9. You have to figure they didn't really want Bama
As a phenomenon, Simons says, "We want Bama" is symbolic of beating your chest, seeking prestige and recognition.
When it comes to "We want Bama," the best response might have come last season from a Crimson Tide fan. Alabama had just beaten LSU at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Near the goal line, standing along the fencing, he held a hand-lettered poster:
"Y'ALL Don't
WANT
BAMA"
...
Most often during Saban's tenure, the Tide fan's message has turned out to be true. As it turned out, y'all probably really did not want Bama.
