Alabama was playing Nebraska in the first night time version of the Orange Bowl.  Coach Bryant, when asked how he would possibly beat the huge players of No. 1 ranked Nebraska Cornhusters who sported 4 or 5 All American players, the Bear answered "...we will 'out quick'em' ".  On the opening play, Ray Perkins ran straight down the right sideline and Steve Sloan hit him with a 40 yard or so pass and the rout was on.  Stars were falling on the Orange Bowl and Alabama fell on Nebraska(paraphrased from the next day's sports headlines).  We ran circles around Nebraska........... which brings us to last night's Sugar Bowl. 

That was what happened to our beloved Crimson Tide last night in the Sugar Bowl.  The Utes were so quick that we couldn't catch up.  Yea, we may have had a hangover from the SEC Championship game but even with Andre, me thinks we would have gone down.  It hurts like hell but that seems to be the logical outcome. 

We need more depth at almost every position.  And we must acquire more speed and athleticism in our defensive backfield.  At this juncture, I fear that Ole Miss will represent our division in Atlanta next year. 

It will take a month for me to recover from my depression.

Roll Tide.
