You know that “R” word I’m referring to, Alabama football fans. I’m not even going to use it here. From here on, that word will be referenced as just that. That word.
I know the recent losses to the new money program in the SEC has stung the past two seasons. In the grand scheme of things, those losses didn’t even matter.
Two SEC championships, two College Football Playoff appearances with one national title will tell you they didn’t matter. “That word” is used by second and third tier programs for motivation. Some of those programs couldn’t find Atlanta during the first week of December if you dropped them off at the junction of Interstate 20 and 75.
