Its sad, when selling out the Spring Game is the best thing you did all season. Until we beat them,all you heard on ESPN was how Saban brought Bama \"back\"....haha that didn't last very long, just ask Lousiana-Monroe. I can't wait until Saban and Bama come to Athens this year. Our fans haven't forgotten how the Bama fans threw bottles at our players.

AMEN ON THAT!!!

GO DAWGS!!!!

Sorry. Little outburst there. I still remember how a local DJ here (who goes by \"Bama Z\" when he's talking football) made the bold statement that the Tide was going to \"murder\" us in Tuscaloosa. I have never gotten on the phone so quickly in my life. That guy got it from me.

Me: What in the world makes you think Alabama is going to murder us in Tuscaloosa?

Bama Z: Georgia never beats 'Bama in Tuscaloosa.

Me: Except the first time we did it, under Coach Richt, back in 2002.

Bama Z: You can't handle our defense.

Me: Do you remember the last time Georgia played Alabama? We put 37 points on you. I remember that game; I was at that game.

Bama Z: Yeah, but we've got Nick Saban.

Me: The last time we played a Saban-coached team, we beat defending national champs LSU 45-16. I was at that game, too. What else you got?

Bama Z: (close to tears) Uh...uh...Roll Tide?

Me: I can't wait till you b****es come to Athens. -click-

Ya gotta LOVE that phone conversation!!! It was perfect!!

Bama fans are living in the past. They've got a long haul to get back to their glory days. Having said that, Saban's a helluva recruiter.
GO DAWGS!

Great phone call dapolla. Wish I had that one on tape to share w/some of my Crimson Tide friends. Honestly, the Bama game really worries me already. I hate the way the schedule sets up for that game. Dawgs will play Bama in the 5th consecutive game & following back to back road games at SC & at Ariz. St. Plus, Bama is surely going to be better this season w/the monster recruiting class & the 2nd year of practicing Saban's system. Don't get me wrong, I believe we outta beat em' but IMO, the Bama game, UF game, & Auburn game are the 3 best chances we have at suffering a loss. Still, bring em' on. One thing is certain, IF the DAWGS win every game on that brutal schedule, Dawg nation will be going to Miami on Jan. 8, 2009!!!

They'll beat Bama, no worries Goose.

BTW, what's this I hear about Dewberry having surgery in the groin? Is that true?
