The undefeated Crimson Tide just beat the University of Florida 32-13 to claim the SEC football championship. Gator quarterback Tim Tebow was crying on national TV. My dad was a University of Alabama graduate and I was raised up cheering for the Tide. As I explained before last year's Auburn game:

Football tradition runs deep in Tuscaloosa, where the fight song still taunts ancient rival Georgia Tech ("send the Yellow Jackets to a watery grave") even though the Tide hasn't regularly played Tech since the Jackets left the Southeastern Conference in 1964. The fight song also urges the team to "remember the Rose Bowl we'll win," despite the fact that Alabama last played in Pasadena 62 years ago.

Ah, but the Bowl Championship Series rotation this year means that 'Bama is Pasadena-bound again.

ROLL, TIDE, ROLL!

Though I think you are an unbelievable jackass I'm glad your team won.

Congratulations. Alabama has some exceptional players.

ROLL TIDE ROLL!!! Should be an epic matchup with Texas in Pasadena. The U of A is 0-7-1 all time against the Horns. ROLL TIDE and end the futility.

Alabama has so much tradition that it is not funny. The Tide faithful really love their team and will follow them anywhere. You will probably be seeing the Tide in many National Championship games in the near future.
13 is not enough!!!!

John| 10.27.10 @ 8:44AM

The Crimson Tide is still in good shape to win the next national championship also. All they have to do is win out. The lost to South Carolina is not going to stop us. The SEC champ has to go to the national championship otherwise it would be tainted.

Frank| 10.27.10 @ 11:01PM

You tell them John. The Crimson Tide can still do it. Roll Tide

George| 10.31.10 @ 10:28AM

You the man John. After this bye week we get Mississippi State then it is on to Auburn and we will show the country why we were preseason #1
