Congrats on your parents not being blood relatives. I knew there had to one of you amongst the Bama hordes.

I would hope so. I've been a southern football fan since the 60's and as an electrical and computer engineer I've been paid to think, analyze and design for 35 years. I actually graduated from UAB and UAB is my #1 team. I'd forgotten that my profile had the Bama icon. I changed it to Bama when UAB disbanded our team. Now we're back and we figured out how to have great seasons - just play teams weaker than we are. Right now we only have 1 loss.

Okay, let me derail the topic from Saturday's game for a moment and talk about the SEC.

[/soapbox on]

Even though I went to UAB, I pull for the entire SEC. Bama is right after UAB, followed by LSU, Georgia, Tennessee... Auburn is last. I pull for when they play OOC games unless its UAB. Why am I an SEC fan when I didn't attend an SEC school? In my extensive professional travels around the nation during the 80's and 90's, I learned how people up north and on both coasts view southerners - ALL southerners except those living in central and southern Florida. Many are so ignorant that they still see the south as it was in the 1800's. The northerners and folks in the NE and west coast see us as ignorant, inbred rednecks. Thus I find it ironic and annoying when Bama fans call Tennessee fans hillbillies, how everyone not in Mississippi call folks in Mississippi rednecks, etc. On the west coast, you are a redneck if you live in the south, especially if you are from Georgia, Bama, Mississippi or Louisiana. Its that mentality that causes SEC fans to pull for their rivals when they play OOC opponents and chant the SEC chant. From what I've seen, most SEC fans carry the SEC torch. So those of you who don't pull for your SEC rivals when they play OOC, remember that if that OOC teams is up north or on a coast, then while they might respect your team, they probably have a very low opinion of your school and its fans.

Fricketh them alll......

So Aranda’s defense has given up 39 points once and 37 points once, all other games were less then 30 in the over 34 games he has coached, and the Gumps expect to drop fifty?
