I'm a 1st timer here to this forum. I'm a big fan of this site and have been for a while. I'm a OEF/OIF Veteran who works over here in Iraq along side some of the militarys finest Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, and Air Force as a contractor. I am a very big fan of the Alabama Crimson Tide and have been for about 20 some odd years. I have never been prouder of our team and our fans as I have this year. We have been through some rough times over the last few years, but I think we finally are on track to be great for years to come. I seem to be the only Bama Fan where I am and had a lot of Florida fans really ragging me hard before the SEC Championship game. Needless to say, all the talk has ceased since that wonderful day in November when the Tide showed up and played the best game I have seen in a long time. My wife sent me a box in the mail that I recieved today, and inside was my SEC Championship shirt that I will proudly be wearing tomorrow, ecspecially for all the Bama Haters out here. I'm glad to be here with the rest of the BAMA NATION on this forum and hope to add some insight from my point of view from time to time. The games normaly come on over here at midnight local time here, but I haven't missed one yet. I am really looking forward to Jan 7th when we play Texas. It's going to be a great game from both sides of the field. So until then, thanks to Coach Nick Saban and the 2009 Alabama Crimson Tide players for giving me such a wonderful year to be a Bama Fan. ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!:BigA:
