This will be a different football season in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
Fans will still hold the same interest in Alabama's season, the air will still be charged with energy for Saturday home games and expectations will remain as high as always.
The Crimson Tide is expected to field a team that is capable of challenging for championships -- West Division, SEC, perhaps even the national title again. More than 100,000 fans will find their seats in Bryant-Denny Stadium and coaches will no doubt feel the momentum those fans will provide.
In that respect, the season will mirror many of those that came before.
But there will be a feeling that surrounds the stadium, the campus, the city and the area that has not been felt before.
There will be a different atmosphere, a different approach, a different understanding that goes along with the cheers and tradition.
Simply put, no season before will be like the one just ahead.
Too much has happened.
