Confession 3.0

I want Alabama to go undefeated this year. Yes, that even means beating Auburn.

GOD! I can't believe I just said that! It goes against every grain of my being! It doesn't feel right. It's like I'm wearing someone else's clothes and it feels creepy. I want to rip them off, screaming, because it's freaking me out, but I am holding myself back because this is important, damnit! LOL

Those who know me know that I am an Auburn football freak. WAR DAMN EAGLE, BABY! But with the BCS bullshit last year, in which an SEC team went undeafeated in not only the strongest conference in the country, but also everyone else they played, they didn't get a chance to play for the National Championship. In a way, part of that is because of Alabama, in my opinion. The Iron Bowl (that's the annual Auburn-Alabama matchup for those of you not in the know) is a big freakin' deal in the state, and it never matters who has the best record when you go into the game. Really, anyone could win. Last season, the Tide was pretty much owning us first half. I was nervous. I was walking around like a wildebeast, tidying up, cleaning, whatever, while watching the game, which is what I do when I'm pissed and nervous as I watch Auburn play "not so well". (Just ask John about my behavior last weekend during the LSU game. LOL )
I thought the Tide was going to hand us our first defeat! But we rallied back and showed what a fantastic team we were last year. But did the BCS care? No.

The BCS, that heartless, bloodless computer system, didn't take into account that this was a heated rivalry, that they come in as warriors, wanting blood. No. All we heard was that they barely beat an unranked team. Then viola! Oklahoma clinched the number two spot, and that was that. And didn't that turn out just wonderfully?

For me to even get to the point of wanting Alabama to win anything is either a testament to me finally maturing, or my complete hatred for the BCS. I've looked, and there are no pigs flying outside. But I want Alabama to go all the way this year. And yes, that means *shudder* beating my Tigers.

Now, don't expect to not hear "break his fucking legs!" while I'm watching the game, and it will probably be directed towards Brodie Whatshisface. But if Alabama beats my Tigers, I won't be too upset this year. Yeah, it'll be hell watching the game with me, as usual. I catch John looking at me with fear and laughter at the same time. I get violent. I cuss. I have been known to throw a dishtowel. I stomp off, proclaiming I can't bear to watch it, but I still go upstairs and turn on the TV to watch the game. Sometimes a girl just needs to be alone to watch her team.

My Tide fans, don't get excited. This isn't a life changing event. It won't last past 2007, when this monstrosity of a system hopefully gets the boot. I'm using the Tide as a goat. I figure if the SEC gets the shaft again, especially if it's the *cue harps* Roll Tide, Bear Bryant's team, a team with HISTORY, my good friend!, there will be outrage heard around the world. Two years in a row the SEC champ gets chumped? That's just flat out Un-American. That's WRONG. And I think that Alabama is just the team to do it this year.

The fact that they will feel the pain that we felt last year has nothing to do with it, I swear.
