Alabama Football: Crimson Tide Embraces the Villain Role

There is something about taking on the villain role…and still winning. Considering our fandom has more in common with the Galactic Empire than it does the Rebel Alliance (had to get my geeky references out of the way early), our movie endings aren’t all that great compared to the end of our football games. This season, Alabama has taken on the villain role more than ever.

The bigger role started before the first game, media members and fans across the country proclaimed the dynasty was over. You know, after only losing one playoff game and all of a sudden the game passed Saban.
