You know what is truly amazing is that sheer fact and numbers of ALABAMA fans. That come out when we are winning where the heck were you folks when things weren’t so good? I have to questions all these people joining and already calling the SECCG is ours, or better yet we will be playing USC and years end.

Do you people have any idea what the hell you’re saying! How about we play well vs. that team this Saturday you know #3 in the nation, before we profess our title winning ways. You can dang well bet the dogs will be a tough game for our very young team. If you think for a second, that we’ve got that game in the bag, you’ve got to be out of your mind.

Can they be beat of course, but you had better give the some respect and credit they’re a good football team. They match up well with Alabama at most positions and better at some like the QB. Which we all know can win or lose the game for any team.
NOTE* (Not a BASH on JPW so calm down JPW lovers just stating a fact.) One could even make the argument they have a better running back than we do.

I just think some of you people want us to win so bad that any taste of former ways, some fans are just over jubilate about winning and need to slow their roll just a bit.
 
I agree with ever single thing you just said. BAMA is a very young team and anybody believe me going to Athens and playing the Bulldogs is a completely different atmosphere then going to Arkansas. Not to mention that Georgia is a lightyears better then the Razorbacks. If we win this game than that would be amazing but it's not going to be handed to us. We're going to have to play our best game to even hang with the Bulldogs. It's been an awesome start to the season but lets not get to far ahead of ourselves. People forget that we still haven't played a heavyweight team yet. No disrespect to Clemson. It will be a great game and if we win then ill start to buy the whole "BAMA is back" thing.

You lost me there...

There is no doubt in my mind that this is one of if not the best RB in the nation. Michigan State's RB is noteworthy as well but Knowshown is the real deal, as is this team. It will take our best effort to have a chance of pulling out a win in Athens.

Please let me try to clear it up then. I hope this will do the trick, what I was referring to is how good we've have been in the running game as of late that's all.

Coach Saban said:
QB Matthew Stafford and RB Knowshon Moreno are, ya know, fairly awesome.

"When you have a good quarterback, a great running back -- I could use great for all their players -- skilled receivers, if you plan an eight-man front, you risk getting the ball thrown over your head," Saban said. "If you play split safety coverage, No. 24 runs all over the park. So you have to mix up what you do, get the players prepared and minimize the possibility of making big plays."

To be honest, 'Bama fans are probably the most loyal of any I have seen (along with MSU - the fans here are crazy every Saturday, and they understand that their team is pretty bad but they still support them). We sellout every Saturday. We sell out when we are 10-2, 7-6, or 3-8. Doesn't matter.

But, I do see your point and agree that I wish people would take it as it comes. I had a buddy who said "WE'RE GOING TO ATLANTA!!!! THEN TO PASADENA!!!!!" when we beat Florida in '05. We saw how that went.

(Note: that buddy was severely intoxicated at the time and I had to carry him down the ramp)
 
I agree 100% Optimus. Even though I recently joined, I am a realistic person whos' expectations are still that we are a 8-9 win team that could surprise a couple of people or we could have a complete brain fart and lose some and end up with only 6-7 wins.

Why not let the fans be the fans? Band wagon fans bother me too but I don't see anything wrong with having expectations for your team. The way I see it, it feels good to know you have a shot at it. I for one am drinking gallons of the Kool-aid just like I always have! ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Well I think the CRIMSON nation is about to bust with pride today. I know, I'm still happy as a kid with candy right now! RTR BROTHER AND SISTERS!!! :D
