🏈 WE WANT BAMA: A complete history of college football’s favorite overly confident meme

[18Champs]

To be the man, you gotta beat the man. And for much of the last decade, the man has been Nick Saban. His Alabama Crimson Tide are the current gold standard. That leads to three overly confident words being uttered by fans of teams experiencing any modicum of success: “We want Bama.”

I assure you that you likely don’t want Bama. There are about 125 teams in FBS who don’t really have a prayer of matching up with the Tide on talent alone. Alabama’s lost eight games since 2010, and three of them were bowl games against teams with somewhat similar talent. Other than that, it takes a few acts of God like a Johnny Manziel to do the trick.

I asked an FBS head coach once about fans chanting “we want Bama.” His response: “Shooooooot. Nope. [The fans] want ’em ’cause they don’t have to stand up and block ’em.”

Damn at the number of teams' fans that have done this! I had no idea that there were/are that many.

I like the ones from that Pee-Weer team a few years back!

Just curious, but what would the Vegas line be on that one? <---- This was under the photo.
