wife, I pointed out the Gator fans and said “See! This is what it’s all about!” She said something like “That’s nice.”

Good thing she’s a good cook.

and, while he is doing admirably at being Bama converted, he still is lagging behind in some things. After the game, he asked how much of the post-game I was watching, and I said (of course) “all of it.”

He says, “You mean the analysis and the post-analysis?”

I say, “Of course. And then the analysis of the post-analysis, and any related commentary. And then the re-broadcast of the game as many times as it comes on. And the bowl shows…”

I think he walked off while I was still talking. LOL

I want to point out how awesome my girlfriend is—she watched the WHOLE GAME with me last night (and had already watched the first quarter on her own before a baby shower!). And, she let me stand in front of the tv for the last five minutes taking pictures of sad Florida fans, which was pretty awesome!

…to that vid. It brought back great memories – John Parker, Rashad! We all thought that team was special and it was because they started the resurgence of Alabama football. I thank them still. This year’s team is beyond special. They are on destiny’s path to glory and they’ve done it the right way – with class and exertion of will. In the presser after the game, the way Greg McElroy talked about playing for Alabama made me so proud. I’ll never be able to show enough gratitude for the feelings this team has inspired.
