He's right about this:

Quote:
No fan base in the country loves their team quite as rabidly and obsessively as Alabama fans, but in the post-Bear Bryant era, that hasn't always been a good thing. No one gossips, spreads rumors or gets their team put on probation quite like them, either.

On a serious note, How are things looking in 'Bama? From your (a fan's) POV?

It's hard to think of anything that would make me happier than for Alabama to go 5-7 this year, with losses to both UT and Auburn. That would be beautiful.

Spring practice is looking good, the O-line is shaping up thank God. Hopefully MA will utilize some of the best WR's in the Sec. I predict a 8-4 season with an exciting air game. Anything over 8 wins would be nice, but I am not expecting a miracle overnight.

You know anything about a DL named Brandon Fanney? He came from my town (in Tennessee). I have never really heard anything about him after he went down there...

Hopefully he moves to DE where he can get some playing time. He won't play NT under Saban's 3-4. Hard working kid though, and should get alot more playing time this year.

Kid was a total beast in High School. Naturally, I hate Alabama but I have a little soft spot where I want him to suceed, unless he's playing Tennessee.

I don't think I will be, unfortunately. My away game this year is going to be the Cal game. I've a two-year-old, so it's tough to make as many games as I used to.

It would be fun to see Saban's first game against UT, though. I grew up in the 70s, so (no offense!) I hate you guys about as much as the NY Yankees and the Gators combined...

It will make you even more sick when they are our only loss or 1 of our 2 losses this season.

I'm with you. I thought they were set up for a good season BEFORE dumping Shula, and while I think Saban's overrated (based on his resume so far), he's definitely an upgrade. And playing in Tuscaloosa? That's going to be tough.
