These words won’t mean much to Alabama basketball fans who gave up on another season a couple of weeks ago. For them, early losses in November, December and early January gave little reason for optimism. The final tune-out for those fans was losing 4-of-5 to LSU, Arkansas, Tennessee and Auburn, with the lone win being over Georgia.
They are not fair-weather fans and deserve no derision. They are just ‘sick and tired’ of being ‘sick and tired’ of Alabama basketball.
The rest of us must have some affinity for disappointment or such a dose of Crimson optimism we never give up on any Tide team.
