Well, it's after midnight in the eastern land of Alabama. I just finished the drive from the western side of the state...
WHERE MY BELOVED CRIMSON TIDE WHOOPED THE FLORIDA GATORS LIKE A DISOBEDIENT KID!!!!!
Ahem... I was there. All four quarters on the sidelines... all 31 points #15 Alabama scored. All... ummm... three points #5 Florida eeked out.
Thanks to my gracious SportsDirector, I was there. I was in the middle of the field when Mike Shula and Urban Meyer shook hands. I was there when Prothro snapped his leg in half (poor guy). Point blank... I was there.
I can't begin to tell you the feeling I had when I first walked back into that stadium since I left it two years ago. I was home. I got to see Shula get his first signature win... To hear a crowd on its feet the entire time during and after the game... It was deafening in Bryant-Denny today.
I left Tuscaloosa tonight feeling like I haven't felt in a long time. No worries, no cares, or no concerns. Just a feeling of the old Crimson Tide we knew so well. I'm not sure if this is a sudden return to our glory days, but I know one thing. It felt like it.
So, I close this post with two of my favorite words: ROLL TIDE!
p.s.--You picked who to win? By how much? :-) 'Nuff said.

I knew Bama would win it...though I figured Florida would have put up a bigger fight. Florida must have felt like a red-headed step child after that beating! It also pleases me that our team acts like they want to play this year (about freakin' time!) I can't wait for the Tennessee game, now! Bama could lose to Auburn, just as long as we beat Tennessee and Fatty Fulmar!
Hey, Matt! It should be a great game here in Auburn this year. I'm still trying to wiggle my way into it. Not sure how much luck I'm going to have, though.
It's nice to see Bama back in the top 10. I just hope they can keep it up. I'm glad Auburn's doing better, too. That first game out of the gate was a shocker.
I like your blog! Keep up the good work, too! Thanks for checking this little place out.
