Yes, first unanimous AP champ since Texas in 2005. Boise .. LOL.
Not that the AP matters, but i see that the writers also sensibly voted
Texas and Florida ahead of Boise State. Good call by the writers.
Boise's schedule was way too soft overall for their 14-0 to beat out
these other teams.

Only the second unanimous AP champ in the last seven seasons, joining
2005 Texas.

Thanks for the kind words - they are few and far betwen.
Most of us Bama fans need to learn a little humility. We are not Jesus
Christ who could do no wrong. We need to be pleased about winning but
we need to take it in stride.
When we congratulate ourselves too often, we don't make many friends.
We have put ourselves in a position where too many people don't want
to see us win. They laugh when we shoot ourselves in the foot.
I guess that is the bottom line when football is not a matter of life
and death - it's much more important than that.
We played some good ball, we had some luck.

We were pulling for 'Bama partly because we know Senior fullback Baron
Huber. My daughter used to play soccer with his sister. Really nice kid, and
his parents are too.

Screw 'em. They looked like shit, played like shit and almost got beat by
a crippled Texas team. They get a New England Patriots " * " to go with
their tainted trophy.

And they're on probation, too.

I meant it in the nicest way possible. Actually, in my ignorance, I didn't
know that the term "Bammer" was derogatory. Apologies to Tide fans for the
unintended slur.

I thought Bammer was a term of respect - Barners use it all the time.
If it's jealousy instead I have no problem with that.
Dignity on rsfc would be like a third mammary gland on females - nice
but abnormal.

Speaking for myself I never take it as derogatory. I view it as a term
of endearment for those who were so unfortunate as not to go to Bama.
John Rogers could certainly have no other intent as much as he follows
Bama.
As you can tell from my earlier reply I was not disturbed by the term.
In fact I was doing my best to be humble - seems like I never succeed.
Alas.

And I didn't even have to ask you guys to throw Brer Rabbit in the
brier patch. Life wouldn't be half as much fun if some people didn't
hate Bama.
Resentment by others is a thing of beauty. People don't resent lack of
success.

They don't like it because of the negative connotation derived from the
term "dumber than a box of bammers", but the reality is that the phrase
was coined with them in mind.

The phrase refers to our superiority. Mediocrity gets no such
attention. Your jealousy makes my Dirty Harry.

Yeah, it really gets boring when the two best teams in college
football play for the MNC year after year.

Keep dreaming. Besides, if McCoy hadn't got hurt, they
would have won by 20.

It's unfortunate that he never got a chance to don his Superman cape.
We would have been lucky to only lose by 20.
But that is not what actually happened, was it?
