Yes, I do realize that it was a sad and completely empty September. But, you know what, I think you'll get over it. I really have nothing of substance to tell you… with the exception of a few points that may or may not be offensive to some.

1. Alabama won their season opener against Clemson, and completely melted the minds of all sports commentators alive… then, 'Bama was ranked. Hallelujah!

2. Alabama won Tulane and Western Kentucky, both out of conference teams, with ease, making us a wonderful 3-0.

3. 'Bama rulled over the Hogs of Arkansas in the SEC opener with a BIG win AT Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville, AR. It was a lovely beginning to a wonderful year. 'Bama 4-0.

4. Well, 'Bama answered to UGA's Blackout with a Whiteout of our own, and let the 'Dawgs wear black to their own funeral, as we buried the 'Dawgs 41-30 (the score does not actually resemble the game) between the hedges IN ATHENS! AND we broke the GameDay Curse, as Lee Corso PICKED Alabama when GameDay was in town. It was a lovely day, and 'Bama cruises to 5-0.

Now, the University of Alabama rises to #2 in the AP polls, and we take on an undefeated Kentucky this week, and we have an off-week next week, and then we take on Ole Miss (who knocked off Florida last week). It has been a joyous year this year in SEC football.

So, other than work, which has bogged me down like no other, at least I have a few hours on Saturday to escape and live vicariously through football and scream my lungs out and enjoy the wonderful bliss of vicious hits, sacks, and blocks that is none other than SEC football. S-E-C! ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!
