Wow… What a Saturday in college football. Georgia lost to Florida 14-10, so that basically proves a team really does need that “one guy” at times. Shockley was out, and they lost. I’ll agree with Kirk Herbstreit from ESPN College Gameday last night. Without Tyrone Prothro, Alabama may not win against LSU. He is our “one guy.” I know we still have Brodie, but D.J. Hall really needs to step it up in two weeks.

Phillip “Great Pumpkin” Fulmer’s season just gets worse. They lost to South Carolina by one point. They showed two UT fans with bags over their heads during the game. I’d be wearing one, too. Heck, now you guys know how we’ve felt the last few years. It’s good to see Fulmer lose, though.

I can see Bama ending the regular season 9-2. They’re 8-0 with Mississippi State next week. After that, it’s LSU and Auburn. If they can end with that record, I’ll be happy. They beat Tennessee, and I would like to see them beat Auburn for the first time in four years. However, if they don’t, at least we got one rivalry win out of the year.

Who knows? Maybe they’ll do well against both teams and head to the SEC Championship game. At least they’ll be going to a better bowl than the Music City.

They should be number four after the new polls are released, so Roll Tide!

In this business, you get used to wrecks, shootings, people dying, etc. Sometimes, though, you hear of stuff that really breaks your heart. Today was one of those times.

A local police officer responded to an accident shortly after noon today. He drove up on the scene to find his wife was killed in the wreck.

I can’t find the words to finish this.

…but, I will give a big “ROLL TIDE” to my Bama brothers and sisters! I just got home from the Bama/Tennessee game. It was a good game… check that… it was a good second half. The first half was extremely boring on the sidelines. We were all down there asking where the big plays were.

I’m very happy my alma mater is 7-0. They’ve already got more wins than last year, so I see them at least going 9-2 in the regular season. If they beat LSU and Auburn, that’s icing on the cake.

Speaking of, LSU beat Auburn 20-17. *Snicker*

Amy said Liz’s wedding was beautiful. Again, Liz, I’m sorry I missed it.

The boss sent out an e-mail this afternoon saying a prominent member of our team is leaving in a little over a month.

I’m quite saddened by this, but I’m happy this person will be closer to home. Gonna miss ya. I’ve always believed you are the backbone of our newsroom.

I didn’t want to say anything until tonight because I’ll miss my EAB co-worker’s wedding, but I’ll be on the sidelines yet again for the Alabama/Tennessee game tomorrow! Thankfully, my wife is going to the wedding for me.

I’m sorry I’ll miss the tying of the knot, but when it comes to my alma mater and football, it will take something drastic for me to miss it.

Best wishes, and ROLL TIDE!
