I get that Bama got worked last night. They did not look good and it showed that losing all the studs to the NFL finally caught up to them BUT let's get some perspective on the love for Bama. It is not remotely unwarranted and when all of this (see below) happens year after year...no one let's go of it easy because they have proven they can do it time and time again. I'm pretty sure Southern Cal got insane amounts of love from everyone after they had their big run and it stayed that way until the fell and fell hard. Bama won't do that and will be better next year because that is what Saban does...not my opinion, just look at the numbers, they don't lie.
Alabama football last 5 years.....60-7, two SEC West titles, two SEC titles, three National Titles, Heisman Trophy, Heisman runner up, two Butkus awards, one Johnny Unitas award, one Maxwell Award, one Outland Trophy, one Remington Trophy and four #1 recruiting classes.
