since i'm a bama fan, and have been for 27 years of all my life... i know what it's like to support your team through the trails and da tribulations... and let me tell u, it's a much less stressful job being a fan of a school that's ineligible for the national championship... or bowls... or just teams that lose mid season frequently and don't go undefeated because there's no pressure. when u get a big win like USCe did last night, it's just awesome... and you didn't expect it. but when your team is top ranked all year, NOTHING could be more stressful!!!

No doubt. I was explaining this to an Ole Miss friend of mine the other day. I told him it's not necessarily nice being the hunted. When you win it's just a relief, when you lose, it ruins your week b/c you were supposed to win. Ole miss last year reminds me how it was in 2003. Not high expectations, but we kept winning and it was the most fun year I had as a Tiger. Since then, it's been just stressful. Especially, 2007. I was drained after the Fla. and Bama games. Not happy we won, just relieved.

However, it does beat the hell out of sucking though!!!
