It’s the biggest college football game for the University of Alabama since 1992.  That year they took on the heavily favored Miami Hurricanes in the National Championship game in New Orleans and they beat the trash talking Canes. So why hasn't this proud University of Alabama alum been blogging all week about this weeks monster SEC championship against the Florida Gators?
- Is it because Bama is ranked number one and going into the game as 9 point underdogs? No!
- Is it because Florida's Tim Tebow is on fire and has the potential to blow the game up before Bama takes the field for the second half? No!
- Is it because most college football prognosticators aren’t giving Alabama a chance in "H-E" Double Hockey Sticks? No!
- Or is it simply because some Alabama fans like to quietly sit back, not talk trash, and hope for the best? Sort of but No!
The main reason I haven’t said much about this weeks game is simple… 2 sick little boys (3 yrs and 1yr) who needed some TLC. Yes, Daddy Duty kept me from getting wildly over confident and cocky in this forum. So for now, let’s just Roll Tide and hope for the best against a pretty darn good Gator team.

Oh and by the way, if they do win, BRING ON OKLAHOMA!!!
