This afternoon, the gates of the hallowed Bryant-Denny Stadium had to be shut and began to turn people away because capacity had been reached prior to the start of the annual scrimmage, which has never occurred on any previous A-Day occasion. The sound of pads hitting one another and the cheering and screams after a touchdown or interception have finally been brought back The Capstone. Undoubtedly, the expectations this year and for years to come are higher within the Nick Saban era than any previous era at Alabama.
As for me, I'm sure you could guess, I'm grinning from ear to ear hoping, wishing, praying for my Crimson Tide to return to that dominant power that was once known only a decade ago. Unfortunately, our temporary slip from the top was due to the large mouth of Fat Phil in Knoxville because of his envy and jealousy of what the Bear had created in Tuscaloosa. Well, little does Phil know, but we're back. And those NCAA sanctions only lasted for a short period of time.
So, my warning to the rest of the college football nation...get ready. It might not be this year or the next, but every single football program in the country will wonder what those boys in Tuscaloosa are drinking and hoping to build a tradition like The University of Alabama. Oh, and on another note, Rich Rodriguez....you're missing out. And what you did to The University of Alabama will never be forgotten.
And the countdown begins.......130 days until the commencement of College Football 2K7. Roll Tide.

Dude, you are too cool. Except for the Tide stuff. ew.
Let's bring on the second hand for count them ladies and gentleman,
1,2,3,4,5,6 and who knows how many more. This ain't your daddy's Scadndal Plagued University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa. Here's hoping they can get past Coach O and the Rebels. You can't put your third string tight end on a tennis scholarship any more cheaters. Go build a statue for people wasting their time at a practice that means nothing.
