Atlanta sports talk show said Downs is headed to UGA. Of course, pundits can say anything. I caught the tail end of the comment so I have no idea if thereās any merit to it. Itās an absolute feeding frenzy on sports talk shows. So much Bama hatred has turned into their delight over whatās happening and going to happen now that the king (Saban) is dead long live the king (Smart).
Hereās what I know from long experience. The Tide will rise again. I know that because Bama has had four coaches win multiple NCās. No other program can make the same claim. Moreover, Bamaās won a NC in every decade since the 1920ās save the 50ās and 80ās (and in my opinion the 40ās are questionable). Even still, no other program comes close. The reason thatās the case is Bama fans will never settle for mediocrity and anything less than a NC is a mediocre result. Tide fans would never for example āroll treesā because of an offseason occurrence or because they beat a rival at the end of a 5 loss season. It wouldnāt even cross our minds to do something so silly.
Iāve said this in other posts over the years but itās still the truth as I see it. We Bama fans might have to deal with a drought of some duration following the unbelievable ride weāve been on over the past 17 seasons ā¦ but history tells us it wonāt be longer than a decade or so because we wonāt tolerate it. Iām not sure Iāll live to see it but Iām confident my children and grandchildren will. Bama fans my age have been so blessed ā¦ during our lifetimes Bama has won 13 NC ā¦ 13! What a ride!
