I always chuckle a lit when people talk about the bandwagon fans from Alabama. At least the ones in the State of Alabama, are Alabama fans from birth or a young age when they declare for Alabama or Auburn. They don't sit there and waffle back and forth over the years due to good years, bad years, etc. A better way to put it would be how will the grumpy Alabama fans handle the NIL world when things slip a bit in the post-Saban Era.
My guess is they will figure it out like they did in the late '50s (which led to Bryant), early '90s (which led to Stallings) and mid '00s (which led to Saban). They literally started Tide Pride in the '80s (Perkins-Curry Era) to pay for the BDS Stadium expansion projects which ultimately led to the 60,000 stadium expanding to the current 100,000 stadium once the writing was on the wall for the death of Legion Field (83,000) in Birmingham (which they used for their bigger games at the time).
