You people really need to speak more positive, I don't believe in superstition but I do believe in what comes out of your mouth can effect the events of things, screw the "sports illustrated" curse, and screw the gameday curse - they are just remnants of a past where alabama broke it's legs for a while, finally both of them have healed up and we've got a loud roar to prove it.
How about instead of saying "OH NO" say " FINALLY THIS IS THE FIRST OF MANY YEARS WE WILL START PROVING ESPN/MEDIA HOW GREAT WE ARE", be a true fan guys!
