The Million Dollar Band Never Played!!!Get out the cloths, polish and the anti-freeze and get the Tide Rides === Stowed away until next year.
Yes this
Game folks was full of coulda shoulda and woulda but in the final analysis Coach Tubbs and his crew did just what it took
to win. Bamas mistakes and lackluster offense was just enough. Auburn scored early and late and that was all it
took.
And so it goes.. 6 in a row..... they say what goes around comes around and visa versa...I remember Bama
going 9 and 0 many years ago during the Bryant Era.
Bowl? Rumors have it that Bama may play in the
Liberty or Independance. The team certainly needs it to get more reps.
I hope St Nick next month brings more than
Nick did in November :) Roll Tide.!!!!

Iron Bow EveTis the night before the Iron Bowl and all through the State Many are sleeping and can't seem to wait. As tomorrow
for many will be a happy day indeed As one team or the other will surely succeed.
For tomorrow they square
off on the gridiron of green On the loveliest village so crisp and pristeen. The Tide has come up empty the last
five in a row As the Tigers have been strong with Tommy you know.
But tomorrow may be different I'll tell
you that quick For Bama has a new coach and his first name is Nick. So before Tommy starts to stick out a finger
on his other hand He will have to beat this new coach or see if he can.
But something tells me it ain't
gonna end just that way That Bama will be ahead by the end of game play. I for one hope I know what the Million
Dollar band will do Play hey Tigers, We Just Beat the Hell Outta you.
Bama 27 Aubies 17 Roll Tide

3 In a ROW...Losses that is.....................Warhawks..no offense to the UML folks but what is a Warhawk? The mighty Crimson Tide knows.. yep on Saturday ..thankfully
in a game that was not televised... Bama ROlled.. and Rolled and Rolled ...to no avial.
4 Turnovers 400
+ yards allowed by the Tide Defense Last 3 games 8 turnovers 8 games before 5 turnovers.
Coach Stallings
was fond of saying about supposed inferior opponents..."If you don't think these games are important..just loose
one". Coach Saban knows. This would rank in my opinion among the top 5 upsets of an Alabama team of all time.
I am sure there are those who would argue, but LA Monroe playing at Bama's home.. come on.
Using the 24 hour
rule (SABAN) is easy on this one, because I certainly want to forget it and!!! Auburn is up next.. and hopefully Bama
will find a way to keep Tubbies other hand in his pocket.. ie... fear the thumb?
More on Aub later in the week.
Roll Tide.

Missed State?????Coach Bryant was fond of saying, Winning isn't everything but it sure beats coming in second. In sports
where there are only two teams competing ... boy is he right.
Bama BOMBED against MSU and does it sting..more
than the other losses to date, because we were clearly the better team on the field, but committed mistake after mistake and
you can't do that and get away with it in SEC Competition...and win.
Woe is me...!!!! Coach Saban was livid
during the game, an obvious sign of his disgust with the play...not the players but the play of the players :)
And
then there were 2. Yep.. the season has flown and here is Bama facing its final two opponents... La Monroe and the Aubies..
More about them later, but La Monroe the next game should be fodder for the Tide. Admittedly I know little
to nothing about the Warhawks. They won 4 last year and 4 so far this year. Bama is favored by 25... but remember Michigan
earlier in the year?
I hope Bama takes care of business early and they should....then they can get some guys some
reps for next week.
My predictions are not very good, by now you know I am usually always going to pick
the Tide and why not? Bama 42 Warhawks 17 Hey I just thought of this...Warhawks this week...WarEagles
next.
One more caveat ..... this is the first game in 5 years...Bama has NOT been on some shape form of TV.

Sly and the Family CroomSly and the family Stone were a group in the 60's 70's... as I explain myself to the younguns in the crowd :)
So The Tide VS The Bull Dogs. The prognosticators are saying Bama by 4 or so. Looking at this one - I immediately cringe
because the Dogs are big and strong on the front on offense and defense...all the Tiders know that Bama lacks in that area
mainly because of depth.
Some say the Tide will be in the Hangover stage....Because of LSU...some say Bama
will be looking ahead to the AUBIES.. I say this is where I say you'll see why they pay Saban the big bucks, because he
will have the Tide focused and ready to play.
Bama 33 Dawgs 20 Roll Tide.
