That's because Alabama is the measuring stick. And that's one reason why Ole Miss got a lot of pub when they beat them two years in a row. And even though we didn't beat them as you said we earned a lot of respect. You have to beat Alabama or apparently come pretty close to it- to get attention from the national media. I expect us to continue to start to see the narrative change- especially if we finish this year off well.

I think the 2014 season the perception was more that it was the Dak show and that's why we did what we did. Even though that's not the reality. Dan doing what he is now with the talent he has on campus plus what he's bringing in means we aren't a "generational player" program.
