ROLLLLLLLL TIDE!

Now that football season has ended, I am now left with a void that can only be filled the excitement and anxiety of college football. More specifically SEC football. Namely Crimson Tide football. I program so steeped in tradition and greatness! It often gets on my nerves when people say "I'm not a Bama fan because they don't play black quarterbacks", or "they didn't hire a black coach", or "Wallace stood in the door and didnt want black students to come in. I often think "Are you seriously THAT stupid?" Wallace's stand in the schoolhouse door took place June 11, 1963. At that time not even Auburn was integrated. Auburn did not enroll its first black student until the following year and that was only one man named Harold Franklin. So please SPARE ME! In 2011 AU is STILL under 10% black, but I digress. The purpose of this blog is to honor the Tide. A team whose program boasts 802 wins, 319 losses, and 43 ties, which is a 71% win percentage. 13 National titles, 26 conference titles (22 of which are SEC titles) in its 118 year history. In 2010, such players as Mark Ingram, Marcell Darius, Marquis Maze, Greg McElroy, Mark Barron, Preston Dial, Darius Hanks, Dont'a Hightower, Julio Jones, Dre Kirkpatrick, Robert Lester, C.J. Mosely, Trent Richardson, Damion Square and Courtney Upshaw made this season a pleasure to watch. The 3 losses this season were a hard blow to the program, but these young men have played and carried themselves with class and distinction. For this gentlemen I salute you and your contribution to the Crimson Tide Nation! You afforded us the opportunity to chant with pride "Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer Give em Hell ALABAMA!" Roooooooooollll Tide Roll!!!!
