This is for all the nay sayers out there. We will win. Who cares that we get no national notice. Does that mean they know their butt from a hole in the ground? No. We, as always will prove others wrong and show our true character. Did anyone give us a chance the last two years against Oklahoma? No. IMHO we should have won them both. Of course the last 10-15 years we get no credit and the nation dismiss' us because what some pencil pushing, data crunching, computer geek, football guru says. To heck with them. We will show them as we have in the past. We are the TIDE enough said. Any doubters or downers go cheer for the barn. They settle for 8 wins or look forward to 8 wins. We dont and dont think its gonna happen. If it does BAMA is still my horse. But when you set low expectations that what you get.

"WHAT THE HELL'S THE MATTER WITH YOU PEOPLE DOWN THERE? DON'T Y'ALL TAKE YOUR FOOTBALL SERIOUSLY?" -- Coach Bryant, upon calling Auburn at 6 AM only to find out that none of the coaches were in their offices yet!
 
yes. we will win because we are ALABAMA. just like we did last year. man, it sure sucked that we were on probation, b/c i'm pretty sure that 13-0 record last year would've landed us in the natl championship game.

wait, what? 4-9? what's that? no, you must be mistaken. we are ALABAMA. "depth problems"? pshaw. injuries? whatever. WE ARE ALABAMA. WE WILL WIN EVERY GAME THIS YEAR. what i don't understand is why we waste all this time trying to recruit, practice, etc...it just wastes time that could be better spent BEING ALABAMA.

look, enthusiasm is cool, but unrealistic expectations are dangerous. just my $.02.
 
Yeah we will win. It might not be every game this year but I don't see why not. I have seen teams with less talent win.Why can't we.I am a ALABAMA fan. I Expect to win. If you are a fan you should too. If not the barners and tutorsee are always open for ya.

Unrealistic expectations are what fanaticism is all about, baby!!

GAMEFACE is right, Alabama will be back winning again, and sooner than later.
I don't think that's 'dangerous' to think that.
I think it's far more dangerous to think like a loser than to become timid in one's approach to athletic competition.
Afterall, the boys in Crimson aren't campaigning for office...they are out there pounding it out, and trying to get better than they already are..not trying to figure out "how many games they are going to lose next year" like so many of their fans. *sigh*

I like the optimism in GAMEFACE.
I feel it, too. I also know it's going to be tough to watch Alabama 'not win' some games, but that's all part of winning.

I just hope we RUN THE BALL!!!!!

GAMEFACE is right! A good season is not good enough for us. I might be overstepping my bounds but all the people that are begging for a winning season need to realize what they are saying. I know that under the current circumstances we are in a weakened state but that doesnt mean we cant set our sights higher than the rest. The day that every Bama fan hopes for a six or seven win season we will be no better than that pos school down the road. Lets strive to be the best! I know some of you are afraid of failure but I am certainly not. ROLL TIDE ROLL
 
I will repost this when we do win. For those who don't think we will win, well so be it. Do I think we will win, yes. If you don't, to each his own, why even follow them this year. Call it cocky or whatever but yes we win games because we are ALABAMA. I am realistic but I don't expect to lose. After the clock hits 0 then I accept it. Will we win the next week after a lose H#77 yea. For those who predict a 4-9 season your selling yourself and your team short. Maybe its what I learned growing up in 70"s from a man I really admired. He didn't expect to lose and sure didn't accept it. Its an attitude, think you'll lose and you've probably already lost, before you even play. Ill be a realist and say we probably wont win the NC next year. Is that negative enough for ya? Ill also be an optimist and take the high road. And yes still go into every game thinking we will win. For all the pessimist keep on being left hand of the road it doesn't get you there any faster. It only slows the rest of us down.

... never mind.. I share your enthusiasm!
 
There is a big difference between being realistic and feeling the need to sling negativism on a fan message board. Yes, you have the right but it sure seems like a bad way to live.

I believe this has the same distinction as being a commentator versus being a fan(atic).

Personally I would rather be a Clem Gryska or Homer Smith than a Finebaum or Scarbinsky.

It's all in how you see things, I guess.

Sorry for the waxing.
 
With a new season comes new hope and expectations. We all, that is true Bama fans, long for the bad taste of last season to be gone. Will we win? Absolutely. Will we lose? I sure as hell hope not. I'm as excited if not more for the season to begin than I've ever been. Anyone saying otherwise is just plain dead or trying to stir up emotions among us out of some sadistic need to make people suffer an anxiety attack.

Gloom and doomers are not true fans in my opinion. We all know the reality of Bama's situation, and we all know the uphill battle it's going to be. But true Bama fans can't wait to get behind their men and support them in any way possible. True Bama fans are not fair weather followers who love you when your winning and jump ship when your down. Those are Barners.
 
hongrime just my $.02 but negativity is a much more dangerous animal than is optimism or high expectations. If you don't have high expectations or goals then maybe you haven't been a BAMA fan long enough to understand what I mean, but a real BAMA fan never goes into a game thinking they will lose. Even if we are in the David scenario, not many gave him a chance to slay a giant but if he didn't think he could then the story would be a lot different, because without belief or faith there is not really any hope.
 
I don't understand whats so hard about having a postive outlook. I take the approach to every game as thinking we can win. What kindof fan would I be to think differently.

We can beat Ole Miss this year if we shut down their run game early and make their QB throw. We can beat Arkansas if we hit them hard and get them off balance. We can beat Tennessee is we take away their run game. We can beat LSU if our players play their best game and cause some big breaks. We can beat Auburn if Jason Campbell plays and we hold Carnell in check.

See how that works? I am not telling my self we will win these games, only that we can win. It keeps me in a positive frame of mind. That way I dont go through life feeling hopeless, like the world is against me. Te power of positive thinking. Some here on this board should try it.

"Old Mexico...that sounds like the test of all test if you ask me....I'm in!"
 
We will beat tsdtr regardless of whos behind center and who that idiot hands the ball off to. The only way we wouldnt beat them is if they dont show up. We have done it before and by god we will do it again this year and the year after and the year after that and so on and so forth. ROLL TIDE
 
I ALWAYS expect a winning season. I ALWAYS expect a run at the SEC "big show". I NEVER expect a NC, but when those do come along, they are icing on the cake.

Why do I not expect an NC every year? That is too much to ask of any team. I do not expect Alabama to be the best in the nation year in and year out, but I DO EXPECT Alabama to DOMINATE the SEC and DESTROY the Auburn's and Tennessee's.

What if Alabama does not dominate the SEC? Then i am dissapointed, but no less a fan.
 
My goal is to go to a bowl. If your goal is another NC this year, then dream on.

Texas A&M's excuse for 2004: "we would have had a winning season, but we ran out of bail money."
 
I believe Coach Shula said that every player and coach should expect to win EVERY game or they shouldn't be at Alabama. The same applies to the fans. We must understand the handicap Coach Shula and his team will bear (and allow for it) but with a few good bounces, a few good calls and some injury luck Bama CAN win every game they play in. Positive breeds positive!!!!!!!!!!!
