...but I guess it's ok. I've taken off this Friday so I can go see Sevendust in Little Rock again. BOOYAH.
Days 'til Season kickoff: 89
We're under 90 days. Hell yeah.
Paul Gattis can't explain his fellow media members. He says that maybe the media does deserve their treatment from Coach Saban.
Scarbinsky looks at the difference between Coach Saban and Billy Donovan. Very interesting, to say the least. Of course, this was written before all the stories today about Billy wanting to stay at Florida now.
The Birmingham News Crystal Ball for this year's football season is out. They expect Alabama to win "one or two more" games than last year. Sounds good to me.
Coach Saban is the newly crowned "most hated coach" and the first since Coach Superior (Spurrier) back when he was with Florida through the 90s.
#13: LSU 35 Alabama 21Nov. 3rd, 2001 in Tuscaloosa, AL
This was obviously the worst performance by the Alabama defense in over a decade. Maybe the worst ever. And we still only gave up 35 points.
We were actually still in the game, midway through the 4th quarter.
I remember watching this game in disbelief as Rohan Davey passed for stupid-ridiculous numbers against us. He went 35 of 44 for 528 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 pick. Josh Reed broke an SEC record and caught 19 passes (!) for 293 yards (!). They had over 600 yards of total offense.
And yet, we were still in the game.
This was Franchione's first year, and there were still kinks to work out in the secondary. Luckily, they were fixed by '02.
This was actually the last loss that we had that season. We beat Mississippi State in the next game, then hammered Auburn, then beat Southern Miss on a rainy night in Birmingham.
