I have held my tongue for a long time…
Now it’s time to get excited, ROLL TIDE. #2 in the AP Polls with 21 1st place votes!
If you are not an Alabama or SEC fan, you have no way of knowing what it’s like down here with college football. I know some places are passionate about it, but unless you’ve been here, you just don’t know how crazy it gets here in Tuscaloosa.
I am not your typical Alabama fan though. I love my fellow fans, but we have some of the most narrow minded fans in the world. They typically ignore facts and think that we are the best team in the country, even if we are 0-12. I see it how is for the most part. I didn’t expect a win last Saturday vs. Georgia. Sure, I was damn sure hoping, but not expecting it.
When we were sitting at 3-0 and the radio show Alabama fan callers were penciling Alabama into the championship game, I was holding my face in my palm. When we hit 4-0, I was saying to friends and family, “Let’s not get too excited yet”. Well, at 5-0, I am ready to relax a little. But…
I am very pleased with Bama at 5-0, I loved the 1st half 31-0 ass whooping. I was not pleased with the 2nd half though. I feel that we should have continued to play as tough as possible throughout the entire game. Georgia seemed to get a little better the 2nd half too, but I saw some letting up from Bama too.
Anyhow, I am starting to get excited about this season. It’s starting to look like I should change my expectations. Being happy with 8-4 might be too easy of a task for the TIde!
ROLL TIDE!
