After the forty-eight hour rule?
Yes, after a loss to ULM, I needed to take a forty-eight hiatus from commenting (after my initial comment) on the Tide. We as fans need to take a step back and a deep breath. We as fans need to also realize that football is not everything. Everyone needs to keep the family of Siran Stacy in their thoughts. He and his family was in a horrible automobile accident.
The knee-jerk reaction is to condemn Nick Saban and the football team for this past Saturday. Fans, although they cannot forget what happened, need to realize the bright future ahead. This past week’s loss has been equated to the loss five years ago to Northern Illinois. The ULM loss is probably worse on paper, but it stands to be a tool for teaching. The current team has not gotten the point until now. They have not seen the whole picture. Maybe the coach has not gotten the point until now. He has said that he has.
I would hate to be Auburn today.
The Alabama team might actually be hungry. The best thing for Auburn would have been Alabama beating ULM by forty. Isn’t there enough reason for Alabama to be hungry? Did they really need another reason? Judging from the performances in the MSU game and the ULM game, the players need as many reasons they can to perform. There is the potential in that team. That potential has been evident in games this season.
It is Coach Saban’s task to aid the team in realizing its potential. He has not succeeded in aiding the team in that for two weeks now. Maybe he needed a wake-up call. That call was placed November 17, 2007. Who says Alabama will win? I will be sure to watch the game.

Beating Auburn is all that this season was about. No one said when we hired Saban that we should go to the SEC championship. No one said we should beat FSU. I know no one said we would lose to ULM and MSU. But everyone did have that glimmer of hope that this was the year we stop the hexifinger and start our own count. We beat Auburn, we win this season. We beat Auburn, we no longer look to beating Auburn in the future. We look for the bigger prize. We know with a victory Saturday, we have a victory for the season and victory in the near future in Atlanta.
