I’ll show you the life of a mind.
That’s called “putting a positive spin on things.”
But, seriously…. Utah? We’re supposed to be excited about that? It’s going to be Georgia-Hawaii all over again. Why does the SEC get saddled with these pipsqueak opponents? And, the sad thing is, given Bama’s tendency to play to the level of their opponent, it ought [...]
Bama wins 36-0… the largest margin of victory since 1962!!! Awesome, guys. Now let’s go win the SEC.
Now it is time to throw the two-year mediocrity monkey off our backs once and for all. For the past two years we have wallowed in the “rebuilding” doldrums, and the jewel in that crown was the L next to Miss. St. on our schedule. It is going to feel very good to dig ourselves [...]
I cannot wait until this one is over. On paper we should not have any problems. But then, one could have said the same thing about Tulane or Kentucky or Ole Miss. I hope Nick has got these guys focused.

UPDATE:
Alabama 13, Tennessee 3 at halftime.
I don’t really have any complaints. We are playing [...]
Kickoff time. I have no idea what to expect out of this game. Nobody seems to think we will have any problem with the Rebels, even though this is the team that went down to the Swamp and beat Florida a couple of weeks ago. If they play like that today, and we play like [...]
It is game time. Given our track record of playing down to our opponents, I am more than a little concerned about this one. Kentucky is one of those teams that just begs to be looked past – to our detriment. We had better be prepared for this one.
All that being said, I think [...]
My wife and I have been dog-sick all day. I am thinking it’s food poisoning, just because it came on so quickly and we both got sick at almost exactly the same time, but some people seem to think it sounds more like a stomach virus. We did pork chops last night. Probably a bad [...]
Three minutes to kickoff. I do not expect this one to be a nail-biter this year, but past seasons have taught me that expectations don’t mean dick. I will be glad when this one is in the books and I can enjoy all the other games today.
Ugh. Here we go. Updates to follow.

UPDATE:
Well, I [...]
Alabama vs. Western Kentucky. I love this little guy!
The Auburn/Miss. St. game kicks off at the same time — so while I’m on the porch pacing and sipping, I’m sure my wife will be inside screaming and carrying on. Here’s hoping this week’s ‘Bama game will be easier on the ears. Updates to follow. Roll [...]
And there you have it. The final score runs counter to the prevailing feeling of looming disaster that hung over this game. (LA-Monroe, anyone? Who, by the way, almost pulled another SEC upset over Arkansas tonight.) Our defense played extremely well, but our offense needs a lot of work (or else, a lot of luck to [...]
