Apparently the Bama folks think 7 wins is an accomplishment, since it guarantees Shula and extra 50 grand on his salary.
Alabama could win 8. They won't beat Oklahoma, Georgia, Tennessee, or Auburn. Shula gets lucky to have the first 5 games at home(Yes, B'Ham is a home game). Shula is really in a no lose situation here: He have have a **** season by Alabama standards and still be successfull. If he does as good as any decent coach would be expected to do he's the savoir. And if by some crazy act of God he manages to win at Jordan-Hare, the state will recall Bob Riley's election and vote him in.
The standard for any coach at Bama has always been "can you beat Auburn". Bill Curry has the best winning % of any coach since the Bear and he was fired ONLY because he couldn't beat them. I predict 8 wins and everyone will be pleased.
