I did not see this coming. Regardless of my feelings about Florida, I am sad to see Meyer leave. The SEC is worse off without him.

UPDATE (12/27/09): So he’s not leaving after all. I don’t even need to post a link, because you’ll be able to find follow-up information all over the web.

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.
