Congrats to my Nieces!

Savannah competed with the Northside Rams 6-7 year old squad (pee wee) and won their regional competition this past weekend in Winfield, AL.  Go Savannah!!

Madison competes with the 8-9 year old squad (Juniors) and they also won their regional competition.  Both squads bringing home the First Place trophy.  Congratulations to them both and we love you so much.

Roll Tide and Auburn causing some waves!

I know I have not been here very much as this year was a rough one for me as indicated on my other blog, however things are moving along and so is our football season.  We are more than half way through the season and things have gone about like we thought.  I didn't think we would continue undefeated again after the last couple of seasons.  However we are still in line for all the marbles if we can just win the rest of our games.  We are all giving Coach Saban a big Roll Tide in hopes he can motivate our troops into a big win over LSU in a couple weeks.  That will be our biggest test of the year, then we only have the #3 ranked Auburn Tigers coming into Tuscaloosa at the end of the season.  They are undefeated and have a Heisman Trophy candidate QB as they are trying to emulate our season last year.  Even though I have to hate Auburn it is sort of neat that one of the best teams in the country is ALSO from Alabama this season.  Anyway, Alabama hopes to take care of them come November, so ROLL TIDE!!!  Congratulations on the big win over Tennessee yesterday 41-10.

A close up look at our new TROPHY!

The line was long and I didn't spend the time, but it was nice to get an up close and personal look at Bama's new BCS National Championship Trophy.  The Waterford Crystal was very pretty and worth $30,000 they say, so that's always nice to be close to.  The University was nice to share it with the community so fast, as we were such a huge part of the team's success this year with our suspport.  The picture below has a little trickery to it.  Happy Flexing and Roll Tide - Kristi

National Champions again in College Football

Congrats go out to my University. Roll Tide!!!! The Alabama Crimson Tide won the 2009 college football National Championship for the 13th time in our storied history. Our boys defeated the Texas Longhorns 37-21 in a hard fought game that saw us taking out their heisman trophy candidate QB very early on with a direct hit, so to speak. Personaly I felt a little down at that point because I wanted to beat them at full strength, but with the way our defense played I really do not think it would have mattered in the end. Our Heisman Trophy winner, Mark Ingram and his freshman back up Trent Richardson BOTH ran for over 100 yards rushing and 2 TD's EACH. An amazing one-two punch that will be terrorizing opposing teams again next year. Thank you for an amazing season Bama and for bringing home the crystal ball back to T-Town. It's being displayed in Wal-Mart tomorrow, lol..ok yea I said Wal-Mart. Only in Alabama. But life is good! Texas was very classy and played a great game, especially their freshman QB that really started growing up toward the end of the game. He will be a good one next year I'm sure. So again, Roll Tide! Watch for our "Tide" when we visit the White House soon and maybe I can work my way into the Championship Parade that we will have through downtown and the U of A campus! Gotta love it!

The Heisman Trophy

I just had to give a shout out to our favorite running back for The University of Alabama football team for winning the 2009 Heisman Trophy. Mark Ingram became Alabama's first ever winner of college football's best athlete. His emmotional, humble and tearful speech touched the hearts of many across the nation but none more than here in Tuscaloosa, AL. I was in a restaurant at the time the trophy was announced and the crowd went wild. It has been a lot of fun this year being a Crimson Tide fan. I hope we can do just one more thing this season, and beat those pesky Longhorns from Texas on January 7th. Roll Tide and congratulations again to Mark Ingram!
