It's not just a sport, it's a religion, and every Saturday is a holy day!

So, as many of you know I'm a die hard Alabama fan. If you live here you have to choose between Alabama and Auburn and I choose Alabama. So, with that comes learning about the history and the tradition. Tradition is a word you hear a lot when it comes to the Crimson Tide and the reason stands with one man, Paul "Bear" Bryant. Alabama has 12 National Championships, something like 18 SEC championships. They have been the dominate force in the College Football world for so long that people find it hard to believe that they could be back up there once more.

At least, not so quickly. Nick Saban was hired with the intention of getting Alabama back to the ranks of the greats, to get us back to the National Championship contention. People said it may take three or four years. Now you have people saying, maybe it's only two years. Alabama had the number one recruiting class in the nation. Players want to play for Nick Saban. He's a perfectionist. So, you would think that he'd be happy that Alabama ran all over Arkansas 49-14. No. He saw the mistakes, he wants to improve the mistakes.

But Alabama did something rather impressive, something they hadn't done in years. A goal line stand. With Mt. Cody and Elrod McClain in the middle they prevented Arkansas from scoring, on the goal line. In fact, he lost two yards. Glen Coffee was all over the field. Our defense was making their quarterback panic. Our offense was confusing the hell out of their defensive line. And when push came to shove, Alabama pushed harder.

The win against Arkansas was huge. A win against #3 Georgia would be even bigger. But none of that matters. The only game in Alabama that truly matters is against Auburn. If Alabama manages to run over Auburn the way they have Clemson, Tulane, Kentucky St., and Arkansas, then Alabama will truly be back where it's supposed to be.

Dancing with the Stars

Dancing with the Stars, my favorite show, comes back on tonight with a whole new cast. Not really interested in them as much as I am the pros. I tend to like them a lot. Mark, Derek, Julianne, and Edyta being my favorites. I'll probably like Corky too, since he is Mark's dad and is dancing with Cloris Leachman.

Didn't watch the Emmy's last night because they never award shows I really watch. Also, until a celebrity has to worry about being able to pay their housenote or buy groceries I would prefer them to keep their opinions on politics to themselves and do what they do best, pretend to be real people.

My allergies are acting up so bad! I went to the grocery store last night and had an allergy attack and thought I was going to die. In fact, I went to be at like 8:30 last night.
