The Bama Standard isn’t that special.
Sorry if that was blunt, I just needed something to break through the cloud of coachspeak circulating through the Mal Moore Athletic Complex these days.
Now that I have your attention, allow me to start again. The Bama Standard isn’t some secret manuscript. It isn’t a Holy Grail buried in the wood paneling from when Kalen DeBoer turned Nick Saban’s old office into a Capital One Café. And it’s not going to magically transform Alabama into a playoff contender.
So, can we please stop bringing it up every time things don’t go the Tide’s way?
