As one born in the 80’s, I haven’t had to live through some of the more difficult stretches that many of the Auburn family were forced to endure. While I mock most of the younger Bama nation for having misguided expectations about college football, based on the Tide’s recent run of greatness the truth is that I am not too far removed from the “80’s experience.”
For my Bama friends who read my work, don’t misunderstand. I am not comparing the successes of Bama and Auburn. I am well aware of Bama’s three National Championships in the last six years.
