We have forgotten how to enjoy games and seasons. Many of you knew going into the season this was going to be tough. We are in the CFP Playoffs, played in SEC Conf Title game, what is the issue?

Being a Bama fan is torture for some folks. I'd find another hobby if it made me so angry/sad

The difference is feeling disappointed and realizing you had a great overall season vs. losing your mind and wanting to throw all the starters into the portal and fire all the coaches.We got back into natty-or-bust mode after the game 1 hiccup.

Maybe we can pay for another membership to this site, but instead of using it for posting, we can instead use it to stop other posters from being able to make threads and posts.

Saban teams were struggling his final 2-3 years as well. OL has been a weakness for 5 years now somebody make it make sense.We have forgotten how to enjoy games and seasons.

Larson McCord said:Agreed. The reality is there are a lot of people who place entirely too much self worth into their favorite sports teams. If the season ends as a perceived failure, these people feel like the players and coaches have personally wronged them. It's pretty sad lol.It's perfectly fine and normal to feel sad and let down when we are out. Only 1 team wins it all every year, so just about every team will end the season on a down note.

As a Life long Alabama fan and a realistic College football fan, and given the Saban experience. It is a kick in the gut when you sit there and witness the FSU meltdown and the near complete domination by Georgia. It is as if Bama has lost its edge physicality we are so used to.
DeBoer needs to really evaluate his coaching staff at seasons end.
Let ‘s go beat OU and see where the chips fall.

Lol even player’s family members are being negative towards the coaches. See Jaeden Roberts’ aunt on twitter/x. Also just want to say I’m tired of seeing this lady on Twitter every day. Nothing but negative anytime JR doesn’t play. However whenever he plays she has nothing but praise.

The point of his post is that if you love football, you should enjoy watching football. If you only love football because your team wins championships and you can’t enjoy it otherwise, then you don’t really love football. You just love the validation of having your favorite team win.No flame OP. But I don’t understand these Dr Phil type posts.

I go back to pre-season. If someone had told me we played for an SEC championship and made the playoff, I’d have taken it in a second.

It’s as bad I’ve seen it on the board in 20yrs.
Some of it is warranted but OP is right with the week-to-week love and criticism.

Its not we are losing it is how we look,we can’t run the ball can’t block and to be honest half the time the quarterback looks like he is ready to cry.We just expect Alabama to look better than what we have seen and want to look like a good football team some people are fine with a team just because they are Alabama and some want Alabama to look like a good football team

Saban said it years ago. Some fans are just bad fans. They are negative, they complain, they don’t do anything to support or bring positive value to the program. They stop being supporters and become haters.
That portion of our fan base is very vocal right now.
