Proud of our team

I have some major issues with the refs in this game - as well as the overall quality of officiating this year - and I honestly believe the outcome of this game early on was tipped in Florida's favor with no calls and the such.  There is no way in hell this game was called fairly, as it was called/no-called heavily in Florida's favor, and noone can convince me otherwise.  Florida - with the exception of Tebow, who is a tremendous player and a class act all around - are a bunch of classless thugs.  But that is not what I wanted to talk about....O

Our team has defied many, many expectations this year.  From the kickoff against Clemson to taking a lead into the fourth quarter of the SECCG, they have played with their hearts and souls.  They have given everything to restore pride and integrity to the program after 10 years of wallowing in mediocrity.  Led by these 9 seniors, they have professed and fought for their love of our University, and have risen above all the negativity and doubters throughout the season.  This group of kids have my respect and my adoration for what they have accomplished.  I hung my head for a few minutes and shed my tear, but the way they stood tall in defeat and acted like the class acts we know they are tells me our team is heading in the right direction.  This team has made history, and although we lost the SEC, we finish with an undefeated regular season and these guys get to represent the greatest team in the history of college football in the Sugar Bowl, and it is SO SWEET!  Sucks we will end up playing a Utah or, possibly, terrible OSU team, but either way we will dominate and win. 

Seeing the hundreds of fans waiting for the team to arrive at the airport last night restored my faith that our fanbase is understanding of their sacrifice.  These guys took a chance on Alabama when we were down, and we owe them our best.  Moving forward, to think this will be Saban's least talented team makes me giddy and should send shivers up and down the spine's of our foes.  We win that game last night at least 5/10 times.  The sleeping giant has awoken, and he is pissed.  If you are a tiger, or gator, or vol, or dawg, playtime is over.  This is Alabama football.  And we are back.


Roll Tide!!!
