Alabama Football is important in my life

I an emotionally invested in it. I am financially invested in it.

I follow it very closely, and watch every game, attending virtually all home games, many away games, and neutral site games.

I watch old film and collect memorabilia, and wear apparel.

When we lose, it puts a damper on the evening and no one talks much.

When we win, I party and celebrate with family and friends.

I take pride in my school's claim to fame, being the greatest program in college football history.

I take pride that my brother lettered for the university football team.

I am a Tide Pride member and season ticket holder.

I am in Arizona, and I will personally witness my team win its 4th National Title in 7 years, after I waited through 17 years of mediocrity, full on dumpster fires, sanctions, coaching scandals, growing up just hoping for 1 more NC in my lifetime.

It's going to be gravy. It's going to be fricking awesome, and I will love it so much and it will be a lifelong memory I will cherish.

Deal with it.
