Just wanted to come up here and say great game and Congratulations to the Tide. I've always kinda been an admirer of the Tide from afar. You know how there are the teams around the country you absolutely hate (sometimes for reasons you can't really put a finger on as they're not even a direct rival), and those you kinda like. For whatever reason Bama has always been one of those I've always liked, probably because of the tradition, the classic uniforms, etc. So while the loss still stings, I guess I don't feel the ire that I might had we lost to someone else. Heh
My take on the whole McCoy thing is this: Yes I think all of us would have liked to see him in the game, and yes I will always wonder how the game would have played out had he been in. We can all speculate but no one knows for sure.
What we do know though is that it's a team game, and Bama won with ball-control offense and a hard-hitting defense. This is Bama football, it's what you guys have done all year. If the rolls had changed and Ingram had gone down in the first quarter, I believe Bama would've plugged in another back (I expect you probably had 2-3 more on the bench) and kept grinding.
With 2 future NFL receivers I did expect to see more balance on offense from Bama, but I guess because of how the game was going you never really had to pass.
Anyway, I'm envious of you because I remember how great it felt after we beat USC four years ago. It's just an amazing feeling that will last all through the Spring and for a long, long time after. Enjoy it!
And it looks like you guys have a great shot for a repeat. Hopefully we'll get another shot at you someday.
Again, Congrats and God Bless from Houston.
