Aftermath of Hurricane Brodie

Wow! It's almost a week later and I'm still as excited about last Saturday's matchup between Alabama and Florida as I was then. It's truly hard to imagine how the team must be feeling about their accomplishment. This team has dealt with more adversity than just about any major college team ever (just about, but not quite. I hear you talking Tulane). They have, on their recruitment, dealt with recruiters telling them Alabama was going down the tubes. The have dealt with a coward of a coach who couldn't even tell them he was leaving. They have dealt with some of the NCAA's stiffest penalties on a program (even though none of these players had anything to do with what they were being punished for). They have accepted a new coach, who looked good on the outside, but couldn't keep his willy on the inside (of his pants). Now, they have been forced to accept yet a third coach and staff. Last season, while starting to slowly slip out from under the NCAA's penalties, they had to deal with one of the worst injury-ridden seasons ever. Why did they do it? Because they love the University of Alabama, and its football legend. You gotta love that!
This team is so special in so many ways. Each and every player, starting with the seniors, knows how to deal with adversity and they have slapped adversity back into it's corner.
We have had a good ride so far, and the season is still young. Anything could happen. We could conceivably lose every game from here on out, but my opinion of this team will not change. They are one of the most special groups to ever strap on a crimson helmet.
This past weekend, they brought us one of the finest (if not THE finest) games to ever be played in Bryant-Denny stadium. They did it with heart, class, pride and determination. They cannot be commended enough (although the media has tried) for the satisfaction and recognition they have brought to OUR team. Thanks, guys and ROLL TIDE ROLL!
