Will history repeat itself?

1991 Bama beats Colorado 30-25 in a bowl game
1992 Bama wins national championship

2007 Bama beats Colorado 30-24 in a bowl game
2008 ?????

1991 Alabama was 11-1 with one of the deepest rosters in the SEC.
2007 Alabama was 7-6 with a young and inexperienced talent base.

That's a huge difference.

 

[GeorgiaTider]

No.

 

[nathan]

Nope. But wouldn't it be cool?

Seriously though... nope. I'm just hoping for 8 wins next year (one of them being against the barn).

The way things have gone for the past decade or more, maybe we can hope that history will repeat next year with at least a 10-win season...

1995 - 8-3
1996 - 10-3
1997 - 4-7
1998 - 7-5
1999 - 10-3
2000 - 3-8
2001 - 7-5
2002 - 10-3
2003 - 4-9
2004 - 6-6
2005 - 10-2
2006 - 6-7
2007 - 7-6
2008 - ???

in this decade we are 53-46, just above .500 % still we are building the foundation for the future. national championships will come later...

 

[Bamabuzzard]

We still have a lot of work to be done to even think of a SEC title much less a NC. The culture of this program still has to be changed, the talent level has to improve, the development of incoming recruits has to improve, the depth level has to improve, the experience on the field by young players has to improve etc.

All of these "issues" we will still have going into the 2008 season. If we win eight games next season I will be very very happy.

 

[CapstoneTider]

Yes, history will repeat itself.......Colorado will claim we cheated in this game when we play them 17 years from now.

Has it really been that long? Seems like yesterday when Mal was malfunctioned on the sidelines.

Sweet it would be yet unlikely it is.

That was a nice little Yoda-ism :rofl:

In 1999, Oklahoma lost in the Independence Bowl at the end of the year. In 2000, OU won the National Championship. :eek2:

Did not realize this......maybe 10 wins can happen sure would be great.

 

[bamabryan]

I am as die hard of an Alabama fan as you will find, but let's be realistic.

NO WAY!

Shows what a good coach can do. We will see.

And they were 7-5 in 1999, if my memory serves me correctly.
