Comrades, legions of fans, disreputable journalists: yes, I have to admit, the loss last night to Georgia was a tough one to swallow. But before we let the media tell us "we told you so," let's take a moment to reflect on where we are, and where we're going:
Then:
'Bama finished 6-7 last year, and had no comeback wins in six years
Talk of Championships had been replaced with talks of thumbs and strip clubs
Now:
We're 3-1, sit second in the SEC West, and still control our own destiny to an SEC title
Our expectations are focused on what we want from our team on the field
This is a building block to a championship
In a sense, I'm glad that 'Bama nation hurts so much this morning. It means that the football team matters, and that we now expect to win versus hoping to win.
Interesting read by Pat Forde this morning, the ESPN super genius. While I was reading his column this morning while firmly perched on the porcelain throne, I had to get a good chuckle out of his article. Last fall he got pissed because we didn't let him scoop that I was coming to 'Bama. He then called me a "Liar" in his January column after I took the job - apparently Forde tells ESPN every time he interviews with a competing news service. This morning he seems to take glee in his column that Sabanation and my coronation as King will have to wait. Even though it's clear I'm King already, and things at 'Bama are different now. Moron.
Attention Pat Forde and other journalists who seem to take some strange joy in the people of Alabama feeling a bit hurt after this loss: 'Bama is back. We're 3-1 with an OT loss to Georgia. Before the season most of you "pundits" thought we'd finish fourth in the division behind LSU, Arkansas, and Auburn. Have you even looked at the standings this morning? And by the way, have you sniffed your way around the Houston Nutt leaves Arkansas, Tommy Tuberville takes his place, and Les Miles goes to Michigan stories? Are they all liars too, or is this journalistic morals by convenience?
Pat Forde, get out of your hypocritical pulpit - either become a journalist, or stop insulting the rest of the profession by calling yourself one. Friends of Sabanator (FoS), you can reach Pat Forde at ESPN4D@aol.com. Tell him King Saban said to kiss his.... ok, Mal said to stop.
The Georgia game is now history. Let's get ready for Florida State. King out.
Roll Bama.

It doesnt matter what people think of you coach, many individuals abroad pray to bryany denny stadium everyday with really nothing going for them in life but a piece of oval leather, a beer and a box of washing powder. You work to excell in life, a win or a loss still solidifies you as a great coach in the history of college football whether at bama or not. I am bama born and bred, no matter what, thanks coach.
OK, Coach -- this is just one game. But we aren't paying you $4 million a year to lose the close ones. You nearly blew a 21-point lead to the worst coach in the SEC West last week, and I'm starting to detect a pattern. Let me fill you in on the level of excellence that is expected here at Alabama. In 2000, you took over an LSU team that had just finished 3-8, then won SEC titles in 2001 and 2003, and a national title in 2003. You've taken over a 6-6 team at Bama. The cupboard is not bare, as you early successes have demostrated. Plus, Bama has infinitely more to offer top recruits than LSU. So, having said that, you get a pass to do whatever you have to do this season. BUT ... you were hired to bring this program up to Bama standards. Last night's efforts doesn't really cut it in my mind, and won't cut it around this program for long. Keep up the good work, please.
RTR!!!
Utilize your influence over inferior beings, and tell your idiotic redneck fans to not throw crap on the field, and show some class when you lose. They should be used to it by now.
Your boys also let me down as a Gator fan watching that game, cheering you all on for once... Now the leg humpers are yappin' again.
Thanks, The Superior Gator
to super gator. the puppies found out abt some of your team weaknesses, and the D is a little more physical than ole miss. the sad part abt this game is the puppies had plenty of opportunities to win by much more. a couple of calls went your way instead of the right way, but you can't reverse a penalty. and bama fans have some class, no throwing objects. no dawgs fans pelted vandy last year when they lost by a field goal.
