My beloved U of A football team has once again swept through their regular season schedule undefeated, 12-0, for the second straight year.  We love our football around here and have literally waited all year for the chance to play Florida again, since they ruined our season last year.  Like a story book, they have stayed number ONE all year long after winning the national championship last year.  Our time did come, just as we had hoped, a chance to play them again for this years SEC Championship.  #1 vs #2.

This past Saturday we came together as a community, a state, a fan base, alumni and lovers of college football.  We took what we learned last year when the mighty gators took us down in the 4th quarter.  We did not finish, we were out classed by a better team.  We worked this entire season to finish what we started, to finish our quarters, our games, our season, our year.  To finish our year, we had to beat Florida.  We had to decrown the defending national champions.  We rolled in confident, deliberate, and with an ability we had not had the previous year.  The ability to finish.  Not only did we finish, but we turned up the heat and brought it the entire game with a level those Gators had not seen before.  From the first snap to the last, Alabama controled the game.  We held the ball for almost 40 out of the 60 minutes that a college football game last.  Keeping Tebow and the Gators off the field, denying them, controling them. 

As time ticked down, and Tebow had been chased off the field for the last time.  Alabama methodically drove down the field again, one back at a time, mostly the senior Upchurch running down the clock, one first down after another.  With the score 32-13, we could have easily scored again.  But with the nation watching and an SEC title securly in hand.  Alabama showed the nation class.  Unlike what you see with some "other" teams around the nation, Alabama closed the door, shut it down, and took a knee.  Showing appreciation to  Florida for a game well played and showing the nation that Alabama is back on top.  Both teams had good things to say about each other, praising God and thanking all the fans.  It was a very classy afair and I hope the nation took notes on how to play a solid, hard hitting, well fought, yet classy football game. 

On to Pasadena, CA for the national championship on January 7th against the great Texas Longhorns.  It promises to be a huge game!!  Roll Tide!
