Confessions of a Recovering Pharisee

Roll Tide Bama is back to like it should be!  Roll Tide!

41-17  ROLL TIDE! 

[From  Yahoo Sports]

Nick Saban is already filling Alabama’s Bryant-Denny Stadium — and then some.

An overflow crowd of 92,138-plus fans attended the Crimson Tide’s spring game Saturday, nearly doubling the school’s A-Day attendance record and forcing university officials to start turning people away in the first half.

That kind of turnout for essentially a scrimmage was yet another indication of how much Saban’s hiring in January has stirred up a rabid fan base hungry for a championship.

“It shows the passion that people have for the University of Alabama, and it certainly makes me feel great about being here as head coach,” Saban said.

“It was awesome,” Quarterback John Parker Wilson said. “We were standing around there like, ‘Man, there’s a lot of people here.’ We didn’t expect that many people. To see that kind of support just makes us feel good.”

“I still can’t believe it, really,” Cornerback Simeon Castille said. “It’s a spring game and we have 92,000 people here.”

Makes me homesick.  

Alabama’s basketball program is headed in the right direction under Head Coach Mark Gottfried. We are ranked pre-season Top 15 and in some polls top 10.

The football program is headed south. I like Mike Shula, but I just don’t think he will make it. Congrats to Mississippi State on the victory. But Bama has way too much talent to lose that game. Butch Davis, I would wait before going to Chapel Hill, Tuscaloosa will give you much more $$!

congrats to the school that specializes in agricultural studies. They whipped the frat rats from t-town. i can’t believe i will have to listen to war turkey for another year. ughh! o well, they beat us. 9-2 was much better than i thought we would be at the beginning of the season. we will be back.
