Their CFB headline:

"Is the Tide Justified?"

Blast away my friends...

I agree with what they said.

This may be Alabama homerism talking, but I believe this team is about to flip the switch and we will see them do amazing things.  I think the turning point was the dressing down they got from AJ, CJ, and VS.  After that, I do think we see a different Alabama this week and in the weeks to come.  The bright side of the less than perfect start is the playing time that the young DBs have received.  That will be invaluable by the end of the season.  I am hoping that the rotation continues across the board.  I would love to see the young guys get into games early and often to set the table for the rest of this year and the years to come.  We lose AJ and CJ this year to name a few and will need somebody to step up next year as the leaders.  That only comes through experience.

I hope you are correct.  I do think they have the talent, but they must execute and this is not what they have done on a consistent basis.

Knowing Saban's program of physical and psychological development, I'm amazing so many players didn't fall into line.

Can you imagine Nick Saban ever saying anything this lame?

I think I found Richt's long lost brother:

"Because my team is good enough, its smart enough, and doggone it, people like us!"

That article was written by Muscle Shoals HS and University of Alabama alumnus Rece Davis.

I'm guessing he still knows a little bit about who Alabama is.
