Sugar Bowl Loss Good For Alabama Football Fans

Yup, you read it correctly. Finishing the 2014 season with a loss in the Sugar Bowl was the best option for Alabama Football – off the field. As fans, we had become complacent. We not only wanted to win, expected to win but assumed we would win. It was like we almost floated through the season in a haze. This has been happening the last few years. Were bumps in the road? Of course. But, hey! We are Alabama – we’ll win the championship anyway.

NOPE.

This is not how it works folks. As someone who lives in Tuscaloosa and enjoys the opportunity to go to many games each season it was obvious last year that fans had become complement.
