I sure hope these guys do not read their press clippings and just go back to work. Going to find out if they have that "it" factor culturally this week. It even took Saban 3 years to truly get over that hump.

Bit of a difference. Saban really hit it in year 2 but if you are talking winning it all, Bama has never done that before in roundball. If this team makes the final 4, then they will have surpassed all previous teams.

Yep, last a whole week...

Two weeks? The third week of December they were ranked #1 and dropped to #4 going into the second week of January. Right? I assume we're talking about '03/'04.

I believe just one week we lost the first game we played ranked #1 under Marky G.

I just like the fact that they have consistently improved as the season has progressed. Not sure what the rest of the season holds, but run has been impressive!

Wasn't Chuck Davis on that team? He went down with an injury and the sky seemed to fall with him.

Yep. A lot of guys from that team come to mind including Davis: Lucky Williams was on that team, Terrance Meade. Ernest Shelton was a guy a lot of people had faith in that season.

I ran into Chuck at a car wash in Atlanta a few years back really nice guy we talked for about 20 minutes. He was playing in Turkey.
Chuck had that sweet baseline turnaround.
