I hear that Clemson's rushing attack has a corporate sponsor .... Net Zero! LOL! Do you get it? Alabama held Clemson's James Davis and C.J. Spiller to net zero yards rushing for the game. I guess it doesn't thunder and lightning inside of a dome! I'm just kidding! Actually, a USC friend of mine sent me this and I thought I would use it here. You have to admit, it is funny! They are also referring to the duo as Blunder and Frightening. My only advice to USC fans is to watch out! Davis and Spiller might have had a bad game against Bama, but I don't see USC stopping them. Spiller really is fast as lightning! I couldn't believe how fast he was when he returned that kickoff for a TD. There was nobody within 30 yards. of him once he passed the 50 yd. line. I think that the coaching staff takes this loss on their shoulders. For Clemson to have all of that offensive fire power and to net zero yards rushing in a game raises many red flags. Granted Alabama owned the game in the trenches on both sides of the ball, but Clemson should have at least been in the game considering all of the hype that preceded them! I don't know whether Clemson was overrated or if Alabama was underrated or both??? Either way, I'm just glad we won! Just as a side note, the Clemson fans were great, too! I think what I've come to realize is that every school has its fans that they would like to disown and those are the fans that probably show up to the games drunk as skunks! We dealt with 2 of them! The other fans (Alabama and Clemson) all got along fine!
We had a great trip to Atlanta and had an awesome time at the game! I was very impressed with Alabama, especially all of the freshmen that played. My wife and I kept trying to figure out who all these freshmen were that were showing out! John Parker Wilson didn't put up huge numbers at QB, but played a flawless game and was very consistent. That's what we need from him! Coffee and Engram ran the ball straight at Clemson's defense who couldn't find an answer to our running attack. Julio Jones scored his first collegiate TD and the Bama Nation let him know how they felt about that! I am so excited about the rest of our season now! It seems like we finally have something to cheer about! However, I don't want to get over confident about our win over Clemson. One game at a time! We still play in the SEC (@ Arkansas, @ Georgia, Kentucky, Ole Miss, @ Tennessee, @ LSU, Mississippi State and Auburn). If we can come out with a 9 - 3 season I would say that we exceeded expectations this year. An 8 - 4 season would be expected. Next year should prove to be even more exciting!
Enough about the game. I just want to say how badly I hate the MARTA in Atlanta! Taking the MARTA from the airport to the dome was fine and very pleasant, but trying to get on the MARTA after the game was like being in a herd of cows that was going nowhere! Everyone was hot and sweaty and "stank like pigs" and rubbing up against you! Very nasty! We took showers at 1:30 in the morning back at the hotel to get the "stank" off of us! Next time, either we drive to the dome, take a taxi, or stay at hotel within walking distance. Heed my warning!!!!
ROLL TIDE ROLL!
