KP, As malls on a black friday go, the place was a ghost town. That being said... how many malls in america have a college football game BLARING from a radio behind the counter in the women's perfume/jewelry section? This was down in Vestavia. We're not talking country hick folks.. People hear that and think it must be the Rainsville flea market, not knowing that we actually have upscale neighborhoods as well Anyway, the place exploded....about 2/3rds of it did anyway.. the rest just got quiet... the occassional 'f*ck!' broke up the silence.. Nothing like watching an attractive mother of 3, leader of the church community, throw her $2000 Prada shoes against the wall and drop an F bomb because her team lost the game.. Living in the South has its perks.
Funny stuff Corey--it reminds me of some of those YouTube videos that are sometimes on with reactions of angry fans whose teams lost. Hats off to Auburn, who played with intensity and nearly got the win. At the same time, I think Bama must play a much better game against Fla to have a shot. Can't give up the big plays like they did against Auburn.
Bama struggled with Auburn....but then so has Fla in recent years. Bama struggled more with LSU and Tenn than did Fla.....so maybe I could begin to see why UF is a slight favorite. I think Richardson is a damned good looking back and will be an ample stand-in for Ingram if needed. I see an all-out war coming on in Atlanta because Tebow and that UF defense will be as intense as you have ever seen college football players.....intensity that will be matched by Bama's ultra-serious coach Saban.
Saban is saying that Ingram will be ready to play. Ingram is not the key though. For Alabama, I think Jones and Arenas may be the keys.
If this isn't a national semi-final it's about as close as you could get. Too bad Texas isn't playing TCU.......no offense AJ.
And Alabama destroyed Arkansas, and I mean destroyed... while Florida struggled to win by 3... Alabama destroyed Miss State while Florida won close...blah blah blah... This all gets settled this week.
