Well it seems like it is the year of the underdog. Alabama has lost again and may not be the last time this year. Oklahoma lost again, Poor Texas what can you say Gilbert throws 5 int's. Florida is down, USC is in trouble, all the Big 10 have lost

If Auburn or Oregon slip up then Boise or TCU will step in.

The one thing it really goes to show you is how competitive college football is, how hard it is to be great year in and year out.

Alabama has alot of talent, albeit young talent, and I believe were living on last years accomplishments and basically got punched in the mouth. It will be a good learning experience if they will listen and learn.

It is really amazig to me that alot often lose sight of the fact that most of these kids are 18 to 21. We as adults put alot of stock into these kids to perform and when they slip, the things that come out of some peoples mouth is abosolutely insane.

In a rabid football state like Alabama it is dis-heartening at some of the noise that people spew about these kids. Not good clean fun, that is not what I am talking about, you know the type, the ones who are rude obnoxious drunks.

I love the Tide no matter what and may be a rare Alabama fan in the fact that I hope Auburn wins the whole thing, another for the SEC, not to mention the fact that it would thrill my little boy.
