Gotta say I'm psyched the Tide came out the Death Valley Saban Hate Bowl with a W tonight. Not as convincing a performance as the Dawgs but we'll take it. With the way we were wearing out Bowser in the first half I hope this this is only the "stayed alive & got lucky" game this season.
If a young Bama team can get out of the SEC alive we may very well be facing TX Tech for all the marbles - it sure looks like a legacy rematch with PSU is out of the picture now. Hopefully an SEC defense can neutralize Tech like the last time Bama played them in '05. Of course, that's assuming we beat a very good FL team in the SECCG and don't get (oh-dear-Gawd-yes-it-could-happen-to-anyone-in-the-SEC) Croomed by MSU.
Maybe we'll get a replay the last SECCG faceoff with the Gators when the Tide goes to Atanta later this year:
Good job pulling one out against UK for the Dawgs, bummer to see Darth Visor make bacon out of the Hogs, and, oh yeah... what happened to Tennessee? Driving up 93 to watch the Bama game I was actually pulling for the Voles against their non-conference underdog ("Wyoming? wait... Wyoming's doing this?!?") - just about as heart-rending as listening to the Great Pumpkin's presser earlier this week. Well, at least they aint' Auburn this year...

Good to see the Buffs managed to pull one out of the shitter today...
