College football fans not enmeshed in the culture of Alabama football sometimes see Tide fans as arrogant and brazen in our annual expectations. Memories of seasons without championships do little to blunt our assumptions.
As Alabama football fans, we know victories will be in the double digits. Two-loss seasons are viewed as failures. Winning an SEC Championship is never enough. To the extent we have been spoiled by success, so be it. Going back to Wallace Wade, championships are our legacy.
So without apology let’s jump past the regular season and the SEC West Division the Tide is sure to win.
