Who needs a good season? They had a good game and almost beat Texas last year, and that was with Colt McCoy. Alabama needed an injury to McCoy to win the championship game.
If they base their pride on beating, or "almost" beating Texas alone, while looking horrid against other decent opponents, then maybe they should seperate from Texas and go to the SEC, because it looks like they suffer from "little brother syndrome". If you base the success of an entire season on "one" regular season game, then it seems apparent that you shouldn't expect or demand the same attention as the schools who win at a consistently high level.
Pat Forde said this about them
"Texas A&M. Your program hasn't won a bowl game in nine years and hasn't played in a BCS bowl since 1998. Your record the last five years is 31-31. You have completely abdicated the school's defensive heritage. And yet the Big 12 is willing to cut you in on the same Platinum Member perks afforded Texas and Oklahoma. Don't ask questions, just sign on the dotted line." http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/columns/story?columnist=forde_pat&id=5291319
And yet they're angry that they didn't get more by choosing to stay in the Big 12. If they can't compete consistently in the Big 12, how are they going to fair in the SEC? That's why they're called "delusional", and that's my beef with them on this subject. They're not necessarily deserving, but they get a sweet deal anyway? They should just shut up and be grateful, considering that all their money and talent hasn't translated into consistent success on the football field. If they don't want their spot in the Big 12, then move aside, we'll take it.
