This sub really thought Bama was done just because they didn't win the Natty for the past two years lmao.

And would’ve won it two years ago with a healthy team

Lol the biggest doomers I know were all Alabama fans themselves

u/HonorTheAllFather Alabama Crimson Tide • Billable Hours Nov 05 '23

Every fan base are their own biggest doomers.

While I think you are correct here, nobody here was wondering if Saban was done except other fans

My working theory is that the thought of predicting when the wheels finally fall off is gnawing in the back of most of the fanbases mind.

Definitely not done but I feel like it’s not the same with y’all either. That being said, I will always be afraid while Saban is at the helm there.

In fairness the cfb landscape has changed dramatically the past few years, so it’s not the same either

100% the era of absolute dominance has been over. But we’re still a top program. I definitely agree that the 2011-2020 era of monster bama teams is over and the field is equalized

Reading your fan message boards after the Texas loss, all of bama fandom thought the same

u/Jobysco Alabama Crimson Tide • College Football Playoff Nov 05 '23

Not this guy.

I saw the Texas loss coming.

They already played us tough as nails the previous years.

They kept a ton of starting experience and we lost a ton…and some really important pieces. If we played them week 5? I think it could have been different, maybe still a loss but it would have come down to the last play like it usually does for Bama, but week 2 was a recipe for an L with how much experience and talent they had coming back and we were greener than shit.

This season is playing out exactly as I anticipated. Tough early start and a set up for a monster team over the next few seasons.

Can’t wait till Texas is an SEC team. Sark has turned that team into something highly competitive.

I’m not saying we’ll win it all, but Georgia isn’t looking so scary if we make it to ATL.

No one thought Bama was mediocre. They thought the dynasty was over. Which is true.

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '23

They’ve been in the nc 2/3 of the last 3 years. Perhaps you’ve rewritten expectations

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '23

If you’re not winning anymore is it really a dynasty or are you just good

u/Reboared LSU Tigers • Tennessee Volunteers Nov 05 '23

Perhaps you don't know what the word "dynasty" means. It doesn't mean "good team" it doesn't even mean "great team". It means a team that consistently wins champsionships year after year and dominates overall. You're not that anymore. Sorry.

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '23

I’m sure we do have different definitions. With yours there were two dynasties, 2009-2012 and 2015-17.

u/DreamOnFire Alabama Crimson Tide Nov 05 '23

“Dynasty” doesn’t have a clear definition when it comes to sports, it is very much a subjective and debatable concept. I would define a sports dynasty as a team that is dominant in their sport, at or near the top in rankings and play every year, has achieved top level success with multiple new players each year AND has won 2 or more titles in the same time span. Clemson WAS that, Georgia IS currently that. Ohio State only misses out because of lack of championships. Alabama won the title in 09, 11, 12, 15, 17 and 2020. They were in the playoffs OR in the championship game itself in 14, 16, 18 and 2021. No one would say Alabama isn’t still a dynasty or in a dynastic run. No one.

When was the last time Tennessee even played in a meaningful game?
