Offseasons are tough for Alabama football fans. We scour message boards and Twitter, soak up podcasts, relive old Crimson Tide memories – basically anything to make it until the next football season.

Like many good questions, it can have more than one plausible answer.
We will consider why the question deserves being asked.
