Couldn’t leave my beloved Tide out of the game for long.

There’s only one messiah walking the Earth in T-town now, and he preaches the finishing of games. Hallelujah.

Of course, you know the handbags were gonna be next.

Notice how I didn’t even use the words “Gator” or “Stomp” in this post. Until now, that is.

The first in a limited series of SEC t-shirts, guaranteed to impress.

How could I not kick it off with the Volunteers?

I’m surprised at Georgia. I really am.
No, not because they’ve lost the SEC championship race. They are still in it, with a big showdown against Florida coming up this week to basically decide who represents the SEC East.
The real surprise from Georgia this year? An insane lack of class about losing to Alabama earlier this season.
I have never heard so much screaming for a “do-over” since I was 9, playing neighborhood football in someone’s backyard. It’s like Georgia fans are completely unable to understand that not only did they lose, but that someone else could dare take them apart in such workmanlike fashion.
Honestly, I’m not so sure the Dawgs should be asking for a rematch. All the things that went into Alabama’s vistory early in the season are still there. Scores of highly touted running backs are being stuffed to ridiculously low numbers when they face the Tide. Alabama’s secondary is still putting the hammer on opposing receivers. Alabama’s defensive line is owning the line of scrimmage, even without Terrence Cody.
The only difference since the Tide’s trip to Athens a month ago? Alabama’s been showing they can play for a full 60 minutes.

Wow.
Alabama put sure put the lumber to a hapless Tennessee team today. After a solid enough start, the Volunteers ended up looking about as dangerous as a flag football team from High School Musical 4: Back To Band Camp.
Honestly, today’s game was probably the most complete football Alabama has played all year. From the opening kickoff drive to the final play of the game, when Alabama successfully converted on 4th and 7 play to run out the clock, the Crimson Tide showed what a truly great team they are.
And all without their superstar nose tackle, Terrence “Mount” Cody. Josh Chapman, Alabama’s answer to “The Incredible Hulk” looked just as dominant inside as Cody has. Tennessee’s running game was non-existant today, held to a scant 36 yards.
With this important win, Alabama improves to 8–0, and gets ready for homecoming next week.
After that…the Saban Bowl in Death Valley.
