Alabama not worried about expectations

[Terrie1959]

“I love it,” linebacker Dont’a Hightower said. “There’s one thing I can say about Alabama: I don’t think you’re going to find any place in the this country that you’re going to find better fans than Alabama fans. They follow you everywhere. There’s probably going to be just as many people in Beaver Stadium when we play Penn State.

“If that’s not motivation, I don’t know what is. When you have someone depending on you, when you have people adoring you, obsessed with you because you’re doing something they love to watch and love to come watch you play, I love it.”

"Auburn might be the reigning national champion, but the Tigers’ popularity wasn't remotely close to Alabama's. In fact, two Auburn players strolled easily through the mall attached to the Wynfrey for a quick bite and went relatively unnoticed. Human buffers surrounded Alabama players and coach Nick Saban during their entire trip to the Wynfrey, as crazed fans looked for autographs and pictures."
 

I enjoyed this part.

It's nice to hear the players appreciate the fans in the media, that's why they follow the team whereever they may be playing and I mean in big numbers too. Roll Tide!

I went to buy a tee shirt after the game in Pasadena and they were sold out.  Every vendor around the entire stadium was sold out.  I was shocked.  I expected them to have plenty of them on hand considering how cheap it is to make them compared to the premium price they were selling them for.  I asked one vendor about it, and he was shocked too.  He said the Bama fans came through like a swarm of locusts and bought everything in sight.  They were even buying the BCS signs that were hanging up everywhere.  Pasadena may be all the way out in Califormia, but on that night it was a suburb of Tuscaloosa.

I hear Auburn T-shirts are on the clearance rack in Glendale.
