Not even talking about football success. Just sitting here thinking how we are all getting old. Seems like just yesterday we landed the goat and now he’s retired.

Life just absolutely flys by.

Man is like a breath; his days are like a fleeting shadow.
Psalm 144:4

I hope y’all know Christ because this world and everything in it is so very temporary.

Roll Tide and may God bless y’all.

This isn't really a response to your OP Kenny, but I saw an al.com article yesterday highlighting, and listing observations on how "odd," "surreal," "awkward", etc Saturday's a-game was with Saban not leading the helm. Article was very melancholic, and drab. I just heard Chris Lowe say similar things.

I mean, no shite its going to be different. I think that the fans have fully accepted the change, are on board with, and excited about the future. Annoying seeing journalists try and frame post Saban a-day as a depressing affair, when to me it seemed like everyone had a good time, and enjoyed and embraced it.

Amen and Amen..

That said I'm so extremely happy for Coach Saban.. He looks healthier and happier these days... I could tell that the grind of being a football coach and the state of CFB in general had taken its toll on him.. Glad that he can spend more time taking care of himself and focusing on what's really important: family.... IMO he actually looks happier than ever, he's also still very involved in the program(s), lives in Tuscaloosa and he IS one of us...
IMHO, he retired at the right time... He went out a winner and the GOAT!!

Regarding our new coach, let's just say we are in GREAT hands. From an offensive X's and O's standpoint, he might be the best there is... I mean his results speak for themselves. He might not do it Saban's way, but I firmly believe the results will be VERY similar!! He's hired an ELITE defensive coordinator which was huge and this defense is FULL of elite D-Lineman and pass rushers... I'll go so far as to say, they'll be better than last year overall... He's showing that he can be an elite recruiter and I firmly believe that under his leadership, this team will surprise A LOT of people... Many in tRant will be eating their words this year... BOOKMARK IT..
