The Bama Scourge is about to hit the SEC

It happened with Spurrier

It will happen with Saban.

Saban will lose some games and his coaching HALO will disappear.

Though Bama fans say they wont mind a 7-8 win season, let's see how they react when they lose those 4-5 games. It won't be pretty.

Oh we definitely have our delusional fans that think we'll go undefeated and will be upset...but I think the majority of us expect a 7 or 8 win season and hope for a 9 or 10 if we catch a lot of breaks. We have a redshirt freshman OL starting at noseguard...that's how thin our DL is under Shula's recruiting. If we can land a UT-type recruiting class next year then I will "expect" a 10/11 win season for 2008.

Not so sure I would classify a 7-5 season as a failure, not with the bunch of players Saban has right now. IMHO Bama going 7-5 would be considered a very good coaching job by Saban.

[ut 4 me]

i would most definitely call 7-5 a failure

That's like UGA fans last year claiming if Stafford started they would "be ok with 8 or so wins"

Then we actually lost the slew of games and everyone WENT NUTS.

Though Bama fans claim it will be fine to win 7-8 games, I dont think many ACTUALLY expect it.

What you don't know is that the team would have won 8 or 9 games in 2007 with Shula. They aren't the Bad News Bears out there.

Your right I don't know Shula would have won 8 or 9 in 2007 but I'm positive no Bama fan believes Shula would coach Bama to 8 or 9 win in 2007.
