In one final nod to Alabama’s domination of Florida last weekend in the SEC championship, here’s a great clip put together by UA’s athletic department. Enjoy!
UPDATE (12/25/09): For some reason, the university has removed this video. That’s too bad, as it was really cool.
UPDATE (1/17/10): I found another user who had the video up.
I’m thrilled to talk about my beloved Tide’s dominance of Florida yesterday. After years of bungling the hiring of it’s football coaches, UA finally got it right with Nick Saban. I’d have to say, however, that most Tide fans had a sense this would happen when Saban was hired. Although, no one could have predicted it happening in only 3 years. Saban was the perfect person to unify the fractured power structure at Alabama.
Now it is off to Pasadena to play Texas for the national championship. It’s been a long time coming.
Well, the inevitable occurred. Alabama beat MSU. Before the game, I caught some video of an MSU fan giving Bama the one way sign.
Wow! That’s one great edjumacation they get down in Starkville.
Alabama defeated LSU for the second consecutive season yesterday. This picture of Julio Jones streaking down the sidelines says it all. Hopefully it says we’re going for another national championship.
Terrence “Mount” Cody saved Alabama’s season (& my heart) yesterday with 2 fourth quarter field goal blocks. Tennessee’s interior line simply could not block Cody and his 355 pound frame. Hopefully, ‘Bama won’t need heroics like this every week to win. I’m not sure if I can take it.
I know. I’ve been absent from posting for waaaay too long. Well I’m back. Of course, the last seven days have been bittersweet. While Alabama got their asses whacked by Utah, Scrubs did premier on ABC this week. Christmas was good. Lynn and I had a party in our home. Mom and Dad got to see my cousin Stephanie’s kids. Apparently, they look like mini-sumo wrestlers. I won’t post their pictures until I get Steph’s permission. Otherwise, I might not live to write another post. I will post photos of the Christmas party. Enjoy!

Since ‘Bama is off this week, I thought I’d post this photo of Murphy rockin’ his ‘Bama gear.
Oh my! This was taken Saturday during the Alabama-Arkansas game. It’s 350lbs left tackle Andre Smith (71) and 365lbs Terrence Cody doing a belly bump after a big play.
My EmpireofGeek.com partner, Bryan De Cuir, was watching Alabama’s thrashing of Clemson with his family. His saintly wife, Jennifer, sent this photo of their son cheering on ‘Bama. Not bad for a kid born in California.
It’s about time for football to be here. I really can’t get into any of the summer sports. Other than Nashville Predator hockey, I don’t get into anything besides football. Of course my college didn’t have football, so I pull for the team my dad raised me to pull for, Alabama. Needless to say, I’ve had my share of ribbing over the years. Even though recent years have been mostly embarrassing, I’ve never let my love of the Crimson Tide wane. It can be frustrating to be a Tide fan. The national media treats us as an easy punchline. So what. Whether Nick Saban has a short stay or a long one, the Tide will be better off with having him coach there. I’ll talk more about my pro team, the Titans, another time.
