There are more talented teams than Alabama, but I don't care: I like the Crimson Tide. Time and again, the most talented teams get beat or fail to win championships. That brings me to the love affair America has with Texas Tech and Florida. Seemingly everyone is fawning over the flash-and-dash of their skill-position talent, headlined by each school's superstar quarterback. And then there's "ol' ugly Alabama," playing the game in Army boots while other top teams are in sprinter's spikes. The Crimson Tide are college football's version of the Tennessee Titans: a un-sexy team that pounds you to death with a physical running game and bludgeons foes with a nasty, attacking defense. Heisman contenders? The Tide has none. This is the quintessential "team" that's being coached by one of the game's master motivators in Nick Saban. Destiny awaits Alabama.

Sounds like an article straight outta 1992. I'm dead serious!

Miami was XXX sexy...until "Ugly Bama" came to call.

Great piece and great respect for his article. It doesn't mean squat, but I respect his opinion and thank him for the respect.

It'd be wrong if you didn't.

I just hope we don't take Destiny back to the room with us this time.

For real, Tider, is the planet crashing to it's fiery end?

I don't understand this and it makes me uneasy. I read it several times but can't seem to comprehend what Dienhart is saying.

I have never read an article coming from anyone remotely associated with a national sports media organization that was even halfway positive towards Alabama.

Where is the obligatory mention of George Wallace and Bull Connor? What about Bombingham and sit-ins?

I kept reading it over and over looking for the listing of the abysmal education level of the average Alabama resident.

Surely there is a reference to the grinding and suffocating poverty of Alabama residents. No mention how even current 'Bama residents have a lower quality of life than your 13th century Chinese peasants that lived in mud holes?

I don't really know what is happening, none of that was mentioned. :lol:
