Crimson Red Sports

Yesterday was a different kind of day for me as I sat in my recliner watching the game because I'm usually in my seat in Bryant Denny cheering on the Crimson Tide. It wasn't by choice but health challenges can sometimes change your mind regardless of how much you want to do something.

I was joined at home with two of my granddaughters ages 13 and 16 and I must say, they made me feel like I was sitting in my normal seat in the stadium. We had many yells and high fives and even joined in on Rammer Jammer at the end of the game and I must admit, we were much warmer than most in the stadium and I sure missed not being there, but I wouldn't have traded that afternoon for anything.

Regardless of how bad the football program is in Lee County, I think I'm like a lot of Bama fans in hoping CNS wouldn't call the dogs off if the score would get so great. I can still see Tuberville(Wingnut) holding up those fingers as he walked around the stadium as well as seeing Cam Newton running circles around Bryant Denny and leading cheers with the Barners. I wanted Bama to set a scoring record of scoring over 100 points if possible, but this didn't happen.

Bama is so blessed to have the football coach and staff that has been here for 5 years, CNS and his staff represent themselves so well on and off the field and to me that is the nucleus of the success of the "Saban Process" that we are all so familiar with. As I thought about the many highly rated high school players that were invited to the game yesterday I couldn't help but think about what their thoughts were of the classy way that Bama called off the dogs and ended the game by taking a knee at the end, when they could have easily scored again. This was a far cry different than what we would have seen had the showe been on the other foot and Bama had been on the losing end.

The "Saban Process" has changed the world of college football and the Bama fans have been the recipient of something that many thought could never happen again and that is winning multiple National Championships in a very short period of time. The battle for another championship is not over just yet as Bama needs two more wins to accomplish this yet another time, but there is a very good chance of that happening again. The young talented recruits that were guests of Bama yesterday had to have been very impressed with what they saw on the field and what CNS and staff are offering them, they will have to make their choices in the very near future.  

The "Saban Process" is a life changer not only for the young men that choose to play for Alabama but for all of us fans as well, young and old. Roll Tide!!! :clap:

 

Very well said, Jamos.  #+ I was one of those who would have loved to see Bama hang 70 on them, after watching the over-matched Auburn football team throw cheap shot after cheap shot at our players. But thank God CNS and staff have more class than I do. You are right, we are very fortunate to have him and what he represents.

 I hope you are feeling better today.

hope you are alright Jamos ... and plus one on what you said so
very well !


ROLL TIDE !

Jamos I bet those granddaughters of yours will remember yesterday for the rest of their lives.  That was an epic beat down that people will talk about for decades.  If there are still people around who remember the 1948 beat down of 55-0, I'll bet they talked about it yesterday.  "That was the biggest blow out since we renewed the rivalry back in '48".  Sometime in the future, 50+ years down the road, your granddaughters may be saying "that was the biggest blow out since we beat them 49-0 that time we watched the game at Granddaddy's house."

The most humiliation for API was Bama showing mercy by taking the knee on the final play.

I hope they do remember it in the years to come and I think it will happen, they love Bama. The biggest thrill for me though was that the oldest grandaughter, who is a freshman at Miss State, went with Mrs J to the game. She had so wanted to attend Bama but got a much better scholarship offer at State and couldn't turn down that kind of money. When I asked her if she could still say Roll Tide and would she like to take my place at the game, she just went wild. Miss St is where she studies but her heart is at Bama.

I can relate. My oldest daughter went to FSU and my middle daughter transferred from NYU to UF, both, thanks to the Florida lottery. They, along with my youngest daughter have always been rabid Bama fans. Heh, you've met them, so you know that.  :D

Pray for me brethren, my daughter wants to be a Vet.  :-[ :(

I still have about 10 years to change her mind though.

Doesn't UK have a pretty good Vet school?  Might be a better alternative for ya... :dunno:
