roll tide roll!

signed off an e-mail yesterday like this:
TGIF everybody! [which stands not for "Thank God It's Friday" today, but "Tide Gonna Impale Florida" Oh yeah...ROLL TIDE!]
if you were watching cbs this afternoon…you’d have seen your friendly neighborhood happytideboy’s prediction come true.
as in, alabama (#15) manhandling florida (#5) to the tune of 31-3.
so many highlights today…
the pass: the first play of alabama’s first series…brodie croyle to tyrone prothro for 87 yards and a touchdown…the first of many on the day.
the defense: alabama’s d owns florida all day long. ending the “no interceptions thrown” streak of florida’s qb simply icing on the cake.
the offense: alabama scores 17 points in the first 10 minutes of the game.
the not-so-secret weapon: kenneth darby…wow! in geek-speak…this guy runs like he’s wearing a +100 cloak of untackleability.
the record: croyle throws 3 touchdowns, taking the lead for career touchdowns thrown at alabama. one of the men he supplants is none other than his own coach, mike shula.
the season: alabama remains undefeated at 5-0. sweet!
huge huge day for alabama football!
unfortunately, one bit of awful news…
the bad break: a definite season-ending (and potentially career-ending) leg injury to prothro in the 4th quarter.
