🏈 Dabo has a word for the fans. "We should lose more games."

“The expectation level is high at the University of Alabama and it should be. What’s wrong with people expecting excellence?”

Been a Bama fan since I was old enough to follow it. My earliest memory was when Johhny Musso was playing so that is how long I have followed Bama football. I have been given a hard time a lot for expecting excellence. Told I was unrealistic. Even when the team won but did not "beat" the other team or as Saban would say did not play to the standard I was told I should be happy about it. I have seen excellance so it is easy to see when the team does not play to that standard.

I hope we see the Bama team play to the standard this weekend.... Roll Tide.

I’ve been curious if 50+ switched beers after the trans ad. He was a Bud Light connoisseur!

I think that quote is under in his bio in the '96 media guide. @50+yeartidefan You got a copy of that?

Would "spoiled" also be defined as harping on losses from the previous season? I don't call that spoiled, I call that obsessive. Obsession, coming from fans.

Of course.

Where? Who knows!

But...what are you going to drink this afternoon? Short supply there, old man.

 

[TerryP]

Of course.

IF you don't mind, find that copy and see if I'm right...I think I remember the quote being in Coach Stallings' bio that year.

There’s a spot downtown Boston financial district (Coogan’s), Bud Light 10oz pour in a plastic cup is $2. 6oz pour is $1. To say it’s packed every afternoon is an understatement! When I was young, my prioritization was: price, then temperature, then taste. I outgrew that. 50+ is still there

Capping what players can “earn” at national average ($59K & change in ‘23) would go a long way to fixing players attitudes. Fine them for infractions

Undergrad years with the $3 pitcher of beer at a few places on The Strip.

I hear that, same here. Many years ago. The next cheapest beer on the menu at this spot is $9.50. Similar story at Sissy K’s, very popular spot. $4 pints of Bud, nothing else is less than $9, even Coors, Miller, etc. the Bud is dirt cheap.

Today, just as you could ten-plus years ago, you can get a 16 ounce "house beer" IPA or pilsner, both by Sweetwater Brewing, at Cypress Street Pint & Plate, Midtown Atlanta, for three dollars. It's consistently the best deal on craft beer in Atlanta...or so I hear.

Sheesh y’all talk’n cheap drinks, in 88-90’ I was attending UT Martin. (Business management/hospitality/also playing football) We’d go across the state line into Kentucky, (can’t recall the bar). $3 all you could drink all night long!!!!! That was super cheap even way back then!!!!

 

[MunchyOs]

We're not talking about bandwagon fans any longer? I do get what you're saying. I just see it too often for it to matter any longer. Hell, have you read a game day thread here?

Maybe fairweather fans is a more accurate term

Bingo.
