tOfficial I'm Proud of This Team Thread

It wasn't too long ago that we were on the losing end of this rivalry. I don't care if the Viles have moral victories galore, and if they are convinced they're "back". The fact is that this team fought hard and did enough to win, and we are celebrating eight in a row. We took their coach and beat them on their field. I will never be disappointed with a W over the Viles.

In case you haven't noticed, this team doesn't have much in common with the title years. This team will not draw comparisons to NFL teams, or dominate in all of the statistics, or produce several first rounders for the draft next year. This team is more known for nail-biters than subjecting other teams to their will. If I had to bet, I'd say all of our remaining SEC games will be more of this type of play as opposed to the sheer dominance we saw against TAMU.

What this team does have is a lot of heart. Saban seems to be particularly fond of this team. He has encouraged the fans to not give up on this team, and that they will make us proud. They work hard. They play together. They stand up to adversity.

And you know what? That might just be enough to win out. Or it may not. Football season will be over before we know it, so let's stop projecting all of the bad things that might happen in future games and start enjoying all of the good things that have happened (and believe me, I am preaching to the choir here). We are 7-1 with all of our goals still in front of us. And we beat those lousy, good-for-nothing, toothless hillbillies by two scores.
