Ahhh. That's more like it." - The Alabama fan base.
For about 14 months now, Crimson Tide fans have rejoiced in the hiring and arrival of Nick Saban as their head coach as if someone had found a way to reincarnate Bear Bryant. And why not?
After all, this wasn't just a football program with more money than God buying itself a high-profile football coach. This was restoring order to the universe, righting old wrongs (Auburn winning six straight Iron Bowls, no National Championships for Alabama in 15 years). This was Andy Dufresne escaping from Shawshank Prison, only as the Tide fans stood rejoicing in the downpour with outstretched arms, outsiders were lining up to point and laugh.
Auburn fans (and players and coaches) kept saying something about a thumb. The national media did its best to make showing up at a football stadium on a Saturday in April look like a tell-tale sign of mental instability. Then came Louisiana-Monroe and a sixth straight loss to the other SEC school in the state.
And the nay-sayers laughed some more. Ha. Saban's human after all. Even the Nicktator can't save Alabama from the Independence Bowl. Ha ha. Why are Alabama fans like maggots? Because they can both live off a dead Bear for 50 years. Ha ha ha.

This season is a sign of good things to come from the Saban era.
