1,456 Days And Counting

Yesterday's Iron Bowl turned out to be the nail-biter I thought it would be...although after Auburn got a 2nd turnover they jumped out 14-3...

Then Bama got TD's on two consecutive drives, one at the end of the 1st half and one at the beginning of the 2nd. Halfway through the 3rd quarter the Tide had the lead 15-14.

And then Auburn caught a TD pass on 3rd and 15 late in the 3rd quarter...

With Bama driving to try to tie the score in the last minute, David Irons intercepted a pass and we hung on to win...and he's showing his thumbs...

...signifying the fifth win in five years against (Auburn's head coach irritated the Alabama faithful by saying this year Bama needed to "fear the thumb") our arch rivals. The first time in my lifetime that's ever happened.

And it was magnificent...so if I have a little more bounce in my step today, you'll know why.

Well, that and we're getting a new refrigerator.
