Happy Thanksgiving

While we’re on the subject of the Iron Bowl I have to ask this question. Am I the only person who ever noticed that Gus Malzahn sounds like Elvis? Here’s Gus and here’s Elvis. OK maybe they don’t sound exactly alike but I swear during those in game interviews Malzohn sounds remarkably like the King of Rock-and-Roll. I just had to throw that out.

    This is a wonderful day in America, people celebrating a truly American holiday. A day filled with family, eating and football. That’s about as American as you can get. I want to wish everybody a Happy Thanksgiving!

  Family and football are what I remember most about Thanksgiving as a child. Yeah, we would watch it on TV, but at some point each year we went outside. All of the kids and a few adults would divide into teams and play football. That was always great. Those were indeed the days.

  In Alabama the Iron Bowl is about family as well. Often families are divided over allegiance. My family is the same. It’s cousins not immediate family, but it’s all the same. The state goes dark during that game. Go shopping and you’ll hear the game on the radio or see clerks huddled around a TV. The Iron Bowl is one of those games in which the better team almost always wins. That said it’s not always the case. This year, perhaps for very good reasons Auburn has been completely written off. That sends a chill down my Tide lovin’ spine. A loss this year would be another of those soul crushing defeats like Punt Bama Punt or Kick Six.

  Let’s hope that if Saban could get his charges up for Charleston Southern, he can get them up for Auburn. The good news, well there’s lots of good news for Alabama fans, is that if anything the Tide has played better on the road than at home. Here’s hoping that streak will continue. More on that later.

  Happy Thanksgiving and Roll Tide
