Where do I send the check?

Not a Tide fan, but thought this was very well done.

'Twas the night of the Championship and all through South beach
Notre Dame fans were saying "Another titles in reach'
The luck of the Irish had carried them them through, with wins over Pittsburg and even Purdue.
The Damers were nestled all snug in their seats, with visions of crystal..just one team to beat!
And I in my houndstooth and Crimson and White, knew for the Irish this could be a long night.
When out of the tunnel there arose such a thunder, fans stood to their feet with amazement and wonder.
The ground shook like an earthquake had just hit the field, and I felt Irish fear beginning to build.
They scattered and looked for some place to hide, as the announcer proclaimed, "and here comes the Tide!"
I sang 'Yea Alabama", yes I sang every word, as Notre Dame marveled at the elephant herd.
Led by a man both lively and quick, everyone knew that he was St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles, his coursers they came. He whistled and shouted and called them by name.
"Now Lacy! now Millner, McCarron and Fluker! On Barrett On Mosely, On Warmack and Cooper!"
Miami is where Notre Dames luck shall end. The BCS trophy is ours to defend!"
Then after the kickoff, a beating began, the Irish now knew that they were outmanned.
They tried to get going, but never could start. they simply were no match for the defense of Smart!
Brian Kelly cried out, "This just isn't fair! Saban was given a month to prepare!"
But his cries were not heard they fell on deaf ears, "We have to adjust, we have to switch gears"
Then Notre Dame ran what nobody expected. They faked the reverse but the pass was deflected.
The ball was picked off! The crowd let out a roar, as the Bama defender walked in for the score.
Saban spoke not a word to his Crimson machine. As the seconds ticked off to number 15!
If one thing was learned in Miami that night, it's that you don't bring a leprechaun to an elephant fight!
And I heard the crowd yell to the losers in blue, "We just beat the heck out of you!"
Roll Tide Roll!...and Merry Christmas to one and All

They are the team of the future. Once they win a few SEC games they will start taking all the big recruits away from Texas... and Bama... and LSwho...

Ya heard it here first.

They are nothing more than the championship Auburn team. Without manziel they wouldn't even be in the discussion.

ExAF

You think he doesn't have control of the roster right now? He won't leave.

ExAF

They will do well, but take the big recruits from other SEC teams??? Doubt it. Only 2 things come from Texas.....

For the record...not a Bama fan, just a SEC fan.

forgot to bid

he interviewed for the Bears gig before Lovie, he demanded four million and control over the roster. they said no.

the nfl franchises are weary of handing over control of who is on the roster.

however, saban is a failure in the NFL. while we say is all about the money, it isn't always so. i mean how many of us look to QOL trumping pay here? you're not going to win them all, in fact, auburn has more undefeated seasons than bama does in the last 20 years. Nebraska s incredible run ended eventually.

being labeled a failure while watching Pete Carrol make a super bowl run probably eats Saban up. as much as we love college football, the nfl is bigger and somewhere he has wanted to be. The are cfb coaches that have no interest in the nfl, saban is not one of them.

my bet, he goes sooner than later.

Hadn't heard that one. Assuming it's true, what should a 'team-player' who is currently on the -9 (me) bid?

Delta wants you to stay right where you are until you get MD'd to the 717. Feel free to not take that advice.

chuck416

I get that. And I know that 'what's good for Ma' Delta is good for me'. But that's not always true. Just trying to figure out what's best for my family.
