Dear Bama

Dear Bama,
This is a letter to a team I hold dear to my heart. Players from the past, present, and those yet to play for you. You are THE best! Always will be! You may not be the cream of the crop every year, but you will always be number 1 in my heart! Who else can say they have the most bowl appearances, most bowl wins, most SEC championships and most National Championship titles? No one! You are the one! You are the best. Often imitated, but never duplicated! The school down the road thrives on one thing....beating you. Doesn't matter how the rest of their season is.... if they can just beat you, then all is well on the Plains. But not in T-town! The football program is sacred. Yes, I said it. You had the best coach STILL to ever walk the sidelines. JoePa is amazing.....but he's not the best there ever was. And now we have one of the most respected coaches in these days....Nick Saban. He may not stay with Bama for years to come, but he got you back where you belong....ON TOP!!!! We rose to the top last year in methodical fashion. You dared the opponent to cross the line. They never did. You've taken a beating this year, but you haven't given up. And the biggest game is less than 48 hours away. The game that means so much in this state. The game where boys become men! That other team has a player that has carried them to an 11-0 season. Everyone seems to think you should be intimidated by him? Why? He's 6'6 and 250 pounds, big by QB standards. But he's not invincible. And I know you know that. Auburn needs to thank that MSU player who dropped the TD pass in the endzone, the entire UK defense that couldn't hang with them just one more drive, and the Clemson and SC teams for just folding like a cheap suit. It's time to shut the smack talk up and feed crow to the obnoxious fans out there who think Auburn is the next coming of greatness. Them and their national championship. Oh, I'm sorry....make that 1/2 national championship. Can't forget the Buckeyes shared that with them.
I expect you to play your best game ever. All 60 minutes of it. If you play like you're capable, you won't be stopped. But if you are, then the other team is simply better. Finito. No excuses. Me and 100,000 of my closest friends, give or take a couple thousand, will be there screaming and yelling like never before. We will not let you down. And I don't expect you to let us down.
At some places, they play football. At Alabama, WE LIVE IT!
ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
