Who here has been drinking the Bama kool-aid? Put your hands down Bama fans, you don't count, you always drink the kool-aid even if Shula is your coach. No. I'm talking to everyone else. So, Bama is No...

Who here has been drinking the Bama kool-aid? Put your hands down Bama fans, you don't count, you always drink the kool-aid even if Shula is your coach. No. I'm talking to everyone else.

So, Bama is No.1, eh? Bama is "back," eh? Who says? What evidence can you provide? I thought so. You people always jump to concl...Hold on. My phone is ringing, I'll be right back.

Sorry, that was Philip Phulmer looking for a job. He wanted to know if the high school up the road needed an assistant coach.

Where was I? Oh, yeah!

Bama is not back! Bama is going to lose to Florida and...dang it! My phones ringing again, one second.

Pardon the interruption, that was Tubs. It seems he doesn't want to show up to the iron bowl this year, something about losing his job. I just told him "no worries, you're worth six million to fire," nice retirement.

That reminds me; I need to call Jimmy Sexton. I am sure he can negotiate a deal where I get over-paid for a job I'm really not good at. It's always been my dream.

Now, I'm going to say it again before anymore interruptions. Bama has not done anyth... Dang phone! I swear I am never going to get any writing done. Be right back.

Apparently Tommy Bowden is sitting around bored and was just calling people randomly in the phone book. Who'd a thunk it?

Ok, enough already. So Bama has won some games. Who hasn't? Besides everyone who has played Bama of course.

Alabama gets a much needed off week, and then it is time for the No.1 rivalry in college football. The Iron Bowl. Should we expect Auburn to upset Bama? It could happen. It has happened plenty of times before. What I want to know is how will it happen this year when Auburn doesn't have an offensive coordinator?

Who cares about Florida at this moment in the season? I sure don't. Yes, we know they are going to play. No, we don't know the outcome yet. However, I for one would not bet against a team that one way or another has found ways to win and put coaches on the hot seat. No matter how many times "analysts" predict that they wont. It may not always be pretty, but being a champion never is.

So my opinion? Yeah, Bama is back. Nick Saban is not paid enough for the 100 hour work day he apparently puts in, Bama is currently deserving of the No.1 ranking they have and Auburn should be the only thing they are focused on right now.

Florida will wait.

  1. I actually came across this article with some expectation of a researched and informed article. This was not even close. Its a poor attempt at humor and the writing style that is on a 9th grade level.

    1. Wow john, seems you don't write.

      I believe it was Shakespeare who said.

      "The true critic can not create anything himself, only criticize others work"

      Er something like that.

      You get my point.

  2. Exactly what I was going for in my first article.

    Breaking the cherry so too speak.

    I will read over your articles now and expect them to be an example to follow.

    Meanwhile, I get paid to write. Not on here of course. Do you?

    I never EVER want to be a sports writer, so when you are impressed with my articles then it will be time for me to stop, and go back to science. Ah! Science, my one true love!

    1. I liked the article and the humorous style it was written in. Keep up the good work. Write because we YOU like it and stand your ground. I'm expecting more articles!

  3. Ha. Dave this article cracked me up. Great job.

    Bama may not be "back" persay but we are on our way and that is definitely something to be excited about.

    Roll Tide,
    Bama Chick
