Thanks Rick!  It's really hard to write such things about the team you love.  
I see some good things, but the negatives far outweigh those.  I didn't put 
it in my previous post, but this team looked to be ill-prepared.  Flat, 
sleepwalking, grabassing, whatever you want to call it.  We cannot stop anyone with 
our front four, and most of the ground gains were right between the to 
tackles...up the gut!  The tackling is atrocious.  Arm tackles do not work in the SEC. 
Our special teams have made strides, but until we get a guy who puts kickoffs 
into the endzone, we are giving our opponents good field position.  And 
lastly, if Smiley and Britt are All-Americas, I'm a monkey's uncle!  They have been 
dominated since Oklahoma.
However, with all of that said, we can pull it together, but it will take 
maximum effort from here on out.  Get out of 2nd or 3rd and longs, cut down on 
stupid penalties, and limit out opponents to three and outs.  Mike has his hands 
full, but knowing the competitor he is, he'll be scrapping until the end!
Roll Tide!
