(2011-2012) Football Season: This year seems to be as exciting, if not more exciting, as the first year Coach Nick Saban arrived in Tuscaloosa. I remember exactly where I was when he landed at the airport in Northport.
I was visiting my hometown, listening to the radio, waiting to hear the word that Coach Saban was in town. While I was riding by the airport, the Alabama jet flew over and landed on the runway. We got our man. Although, I have to admit, I didn’t think he would come to Alabama; I wanted Rich Rodriguez. Thank goodness that didn’t work out. I called a couple rabid fans like myself, and we talked about how Coach Saban would come in and turn our program around. Little did we know, he would exceed our expectations with his work ethic and passion to not only win games, but also develop young men.
My Prediction: This year I expect us to win the National Championship. Yea I said it! We will win the National Championship this year. Sure, players have to play up to their potential, coaches have to call plays that put players in the right positions, but I truly believe all of those things will happen.
I predicted we would win the National Championship in the 2009-10 season, and I made sure that I told people about it. You can ask Air Force Technical Sergeant James Spensor or Master Sergeant Kendal Prude. They heard me make my prediction, and they told me to take off my Crimson Colored Glasses. I refused to do so. Well, I’m saying it again now and I’ll explain why in my next blog. Roll Tide!!!
