I am an Alabama Crimson Tide girl! I didn't go there, my parents didn't go there, but the crimson tide tradition has been running through my family for years. In fact, I came home from the hospital in Alabama attire. I grew up in a state that was huge rivals to us - to this day I will NOT wear a certain color for that reason. My allegiance to this team has been one of my defining characteristics. So much so that I was the token 'Bama fan in my group of friends and kind of still am. It's a title I wear with pride!
For those of you who don't follow football or this team very closely, you wouldn't know that we have been through some SERIOUS issues to say the least over the past decade. After having the best coach in college football history, while there were one or two along the way after him that were wonderful, the majority just couldn't get it together, and that coupled with sanctions, leads to several years of mediocrity. However, this week for the first time since November of 1980 we're ranked number 1 in the regular season polls! I wasn't even born the last time that happened!!!!!
Even though it may not last (keep your fingers crossed it does) I'm so glad I stuck with my team through the "dark years" as my family calls them, it makes it so much sweeter now!
Roll Tide!!!!
