Game Day Zone: November 2008 Game Day Zone

Wanna know what football looked like decades ago? Go to Tuscaloosa, AL. The Crimson Tide will show you. Up the gut. Up the gut. Run left. First down. Up the gut. Run right. First down. Up the gut. Incomplete pass. Run left. First down. Touchdown. Then the other side takes the field only to succumb to a stifling defense. Punt. Exciting, isn't it? Only if you're an Alabama fan. Bear would be proud. Knute, Pop... yep, they would be, too. So if the Tide surges to the big game and one of the high-octane circus shows of the Big 12 comes a-callin'... well, we'll see what happens. Most say Saban's boys aren't the best team in college football right now. Nick says, "Who cares?". Eleven wins, no losses. Hard to argue with a heavyweight fighter that wears down his flashy opponent for twelve rounds. It may come with a knockout or it may come later when you simply hear the bell ring and you can barely move. So don't be surprised if this working man's team makes it, and does it without conventional style points. But no matter what, you'll have to respect the effort. If your team lines up against the Crimson hardhats, make sure they're in for the whole shift. Grab your lunch pail. It's gonna be a long day.
