I went to St. Thomas Aquinas High during our stretch of three straight state title game appearances, and I currently attend UNC, where we just won the National Title in basketball, so I'm more than accustomed to winning. That said, this was a 4-12 team last year. Baby steps people. Rome wasn't built in a day. Yada yada yada. It's frustrating, but building a perennial winner takes some time, especially when doing so from a team that was demolished. As a UNC fan who went through an 8-20 basketball season in 2002 to winning the national title in 2005, I know as well as anyone it takes time. After 8-20 we went to the NIT the following year. Then we went to the second round of the NCAA tournament. Now we're NCAA Champions. It didn't happen overnight, it was a process.
This is a much better football team than last year already, so just sit back and watch Saban work his magic.
