I should have said....when a Bama fan... Chili used to always give me a hard time because each year I would say, "wait until next year." The next year, Bama would still suck. These days, next year is just as good as the last.

Long time, no see DDX. Are you still bouncing between Mexico City and Auburn (I think that's where you lived)?

Yep I'm still in Auburn. The wife even works for the University so I get really cheap season tickets. Bouncing form India to Auburn now instead of Mexico City, though I haven't been back to India in over 9 months and have no plans to go back in the immediate future.

Who is going to watch tonight. I figure 'bama is likely to win, but I'll route for Notre Dame. I used to always root against ND and love the Tide - but it is great to see ND be a factor once again. Also, they have an awesome record of graduating their football players. The fact they can do right by their players educationally and still have a shot at an undefeated, #1, year is fantastic.

Alabama has done pretty well on that and until the NCAA allows for paying college players, I think that's important. Way better than Texas. (It gives me some consolation over their mediocre year and takes away some of my enthusiasm - but I'm not purist enough to stop rooting for them.)

Our graduation rate was no where near that high before Saban got there. You won't hear it in the national media, but in addition to building a football team, he works hard at building well rounded, educated men.

Great for Saban - there is something to be gained on the field when the players know the coach cares about how they do in all their endeavors.

1camper - fun link: What's great about football (and other sports), is that we can argue forever about who has the better fiscal plan in politics, or what was the better rock band - but tonight the two teams can actually put it to a test out there on the field. May the best team with gold helmets win.

In 2 out of Bama's last 3 NC's (92, 11), we played the underdog. We had to listen to how much better the other team was. The players were fed up with it and in both instances, went out and punched the other team in the mouth. We were hungrier and more prepared. It'll be interesting to see how we react as the favorite. My recollection of 09 is that it was about a push and who was favored.
