Bama - Texas game

Recommended Posts

Im debating whether to watch it tonight. The 6 hour TD between England and Alabama can get annoying. I wasnt going to, but i found out my college is closed tomorrow due to snow. So i may watch it because it is the last college football game of the year, AND i'm confident texas can win. What do you think?

P.S Dont move this because the majority of the users on here are in this section!

I think Al Abama will beat Texas... even though I hate it -- they are just too much for Texas.

To maybe add a different point of view. I am of course a Dye hard Auburn Fan (yes Pat) and now live in Whitewater Wisconsin. I lived in Alabama for 31 years until I moved here 5 years ago. I once would have rather had a team from Irag beat Alabama and I would celebrate, I have since changed my opinion and the reason why is I now consider myself an SEC fan when it comes to playing anyone outside the conference. The reason I feel more comfortable with this is the fact I do not have to deal with Alabama fans on a daily basis. I understand how you feel if your pulling for Texas but I do really think its better for Auburn in the long run if Alabama wins and also the success  of all SEC teams. This brings in more pub and more money with tv contracts that go to the schools so if your just watching the game tonight because your a fan of football think about how good the Sec will look with four straight Championships and when Auburn finally climbs that hill and gets that National championship (in the BCS era)  How sweet it will be coming through the most powerful conference in the country. Thanks for your time and War Eagle!!!

trich, i can see where you are coming from but we have already got the TV contracts and the money.  We have won the last 3 BCS championships and have already been on top.  Buck Fama and Buck Fama fans

trich, I can see your logic and come bowl time I root for all the SEC teams except for Alabama - particularly so as it pertains to this game as a Bama NC would be absolutely horrible for 'cruitin' especially in state.

I think that we have proven this year that our coaching staff can hold there on with anyone. not afraid of Alabama recruiting. They cannot get any better than they already are.

Just remeber we are still behind bammer on all of the different recruiting sites even though we've made up ground.  Alabama winning does us no good - but it could certainly hurt us (even if it is small as you seem to suggest).

I guess I just feel it's better to earn something than have it given to you. We had our chance over the last ten years to take advantage of Alabama being down and did not take advantage of it. Yes we beat them but never really met our true goals. Now it's time to do it the hard way and I think we have the coaching staff in place to get that job done..

It is just the arrogance that gets me.  I heard on the radio today, they already have a book ready to release that Jay Barker wrote the forward to.  It is called "Destiny" and it is about the 13th National Championship.

They also are opening up stores as soon as the game is over to sell National Championship shirts.

I heard one say today, that he is already working on his plans for next years national championship.  He was just going to skip the SEC Championship since it was already a given they would be there.  He was serious too.

All of this just blows me away.  Even if I thought some of it, I would not verbalize it the way they do.

That is what keeps me from viewing it the way you do with the SEC.

It's easier to support the Bama players when you don't live in AL.  Too many obnoxious fans here to support the team.  Hook 'em horns.
