I am excitied for the opportunity to speak with other fellow Tidefans about our beloved team. This is my first post, but I have followed this board for quite some time. In my humbled opinion, this is the best message board that I have stumbled across. I am from Nashville, so I do not get to talk much about Alabama football with my friends. Basically, they are all Idiot Tennessee fans. The kind of fans who with a straight face will tell you that Erik Ainge is the best QB in the country, and that Rick Qlausen is the best back up QB in the country. I see this board as a comfort to me, to sit back and chat with people who are more realistic than they are. We are coming up on one of my favorite times of the year. (DEC 1 - Feb 2) Recruiting Time. I hope Coach Shula and the recruiting machine who we call Coach Randolph can get the ball rolling again.
