Well, today THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE travels to Florida to take on the Florida State Seminoles in what should be an interesting matchup. I will not repeat all of the endless blather that has been written, spoken, printed or otherwise spewed this week about Bobby Bowden and past history.
Here is a pretty good read about his take on what might have been: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/feature/featureVideo?page=bowden/bama

Sure, Bobby Bowden would have been a fine selection to replace Ray Perkins, and the past 20 years might have been different. More championships? More probations? A Heisman winner? I don't know.
The only thing I can tell you is that Coach Bowden is gonna get another nationally-televised whipping. I think the Georgia game served as a wake-up call to The Tide, and I think our players are hungry for a big-time, nationally-viewed contest. Coach Saban undoubtedly made them feel guilty for losing at home, and they will want to put to rest any perceptions of weakness or vulnerability. I hope we can do so.
The game will be at 4 cst in Jacksonville televised over on
Don't know how many more barbecue joints Todd Blackledge can find to critique, but if this keeps up he'll be as fat as I am....! I mean, I like watching the games on CBS, although sometimes their camera-work leaves a bit to be desired. But just like over on ESPN, I just mute the television and listen to ELI GOLD and KENNY "Snake" STABLER call the game on the radio. (Editor's Note: It can be a bit disconcerting after a few beers to try and match up the action with the commentary, as it will usually be out-of-sync.)
Yeah, after The Tide gets through spanking the Seminoles, we'll understand why the facial expression of the Native American depicted on their logo looks like he's takin' it up the ol' poop-chute:
...Because he probably will have........! John Parker Wilson and the offense should get on track, hopefully keeping our defense off the field and rested. Darren Mustin and Brian Motley will be available, so I think we can keep up.
