Foxx Thoughts

With their 24 to 15 win over LSU (thanks to my dad for wearing his pink Alabama shirt to ensure the win) last night, Alabama clenched the SEC West division guaranteeing them a seat in the 2009 SEC championship game and a chance to directly prove that they are a better team then Florida. Even though this was a great victory and will probably place the Crimson Tide in a key position, I wouldn’t spend more then 24 hours on this win. Next week Alabama rolls over to Mississippi St. to meet the bulldogs on the grid iron in what will probably be a good game. Miss St. is currently sitting at 4-5 (2-3 in the SEC) so they will be head hunting for their next big win. On down the road just past the bulldogs Alabama is in line for Chattanooga at home on the 21^st of November. I know very little about this team, but I’m willing to bet that they are not just going to sit back and let Alabama trample all over them when they roll into T-town. Alabama will finish off their season on the 24^th of November against their interstate rivals Auburn. The rivalry runs so deep here that for a period of time during the early parts of this rivalry that the teams did not play each other. It took a request from the Alabama House of Representatives to get the rivalry renewed. If Alabama and Auburn were both 0 – 11 going into this game, both teams would still play like this game determined who was getting a shot at the national title. Once again, though, the road to Pasadena will take the Tide through many towns like, Starkville, Tuscaloosa, Auburn, and Atlanta with many tough teams at those destinations more then happy to knock the Crimson Tide off their path for number 13.
