Yall have a damn fine team this year. I'm looking forward to it.

Florida got their asses kicked. Then Bama beat Tennessee. Such a sweet year. I think Tennessee is now Alabama's biggest rival anyway. Sure, you'll never hear ESPN say that, and a lot of Alabama and Auburn fans might disagree, but Tennessee is the devil.

[bmedders]

I think Tennessee has pulled level right now... for the off the field bad blood.

However, once Fulmer is gone, I think it will revert back to Auburn fully.

I remember this game on tv. I'll never forget it. It is one of the best Alabama games of the decade... so far.

Florida may have beat Bama in 08 but I tell you this, NO Florida team will ever take Bama to the woodshed as Bama did to Florida in 05, NEVER!!!

this game and capital one bowl vs michigan st are the best two bama games of the past decade if you ask me.. roll tide!!

@jejesdad i agree prothro should have not been in there. as for the other seasons, look at the team he was given, HOW many failed coaches? one of them a traitor who left like a thief in the night. it takes time to build. even saban took time. was he a good tactician? probably not the best by any means. but he ran a clean program and was loyal, and at the time thats what we desperatrely needed. those 2 losses HURT....but ki was proud of them that year. he tried harder than the LAST couple.

[jejesdad]

@IMDARKFIRE007 How many times did he beat AU? Why was Prothro in this game so late? 2005 the team started 9-0, and finished 10-2, in a season where if Prothro was healthy, they would have either been in the Title game, or at least in the BCS. He may be a decent human being, but he wasn't a good coach. He got the job due to his last name, and you forget his other seasons so quickly. As a Michigan fan, I would know a terrible coach when I see 1.

[IMDARKFIRE007]

@jejesdad shula was not a terrible coach. he led to to a 10 and 2 season if you remember correctly. i also dont remember hearing bama fans bit5ch about his coaching on sunday when the headline was his signature on the front page signifying a signature win (and plain ass kicking) of the florida team who was supposed to walk all over us. he ran a clean program and had a couple good seasons. at the time thats ALL we asked for and he DELIVERED. leave the man alone...

[jejesdad]

@bamagrad01 because Shula was a terrible coach....that's why!

Riding to Panama City Beach in the car with my family, listening to the radio, first play from scrimmage. One of my favorite football memories of all time.

[jusprazem]

could yall hear anything at this game especially when bama sacked leak in that same spot and intercepted the ball.

[Bamafan206]

True. But he was one exciting player to watch :)
