I really should not have to say much about the Alabama vs. Texas A&M game. What a beat down. I would be so incredibly embarrassed to be an Aggie fan, student, or alumni. 59-0? Texas A&M could not even score one point. Even the FCS teams that we have played have gotten at least a field goal. This game just made me ROFL for the whole duration, especially, since I have two cousins who attend, or have attended, Texas A&M. By the second quarter, I split my time watching the game and texting both of them, running my mouth. This game was probably one of the best times I’ve had inside the hallowed walls of Bryant-Denny Stadium.

On a real note, we needed a win like this. After our heartbreaking loss to Ole Miss, and a poor performance against Arkansas -- the worst team and state in the SEC West -- we needed to get our swagger back. For most of the season, and the last two games of last year, we have not seen the classic Alabama Crimson Tide domination that I have enjoyed since my freshman year, when the Tide rolled over LSU for the national championship in their own back yard of the New Orleans Superdome.

You could make the argument that our Florida game was a resurgence of classic Nick Saban era, Bama Tide football, but we played really sloppy with all of our turnovers. Florida should not have had those 21 points. Their offense is really poor. They only put up 10 points on a young, talentless Tennessee defense.

I could not be more proud of our players. Yeldon had a break out game, which is something we haven’t seen in a while. Both he and Derrick Henry ice skated through the Aggie defense, and sliced and diced them up for big gains and touchdowns. Sims played great. He had so many great throws, and some really great runs. Cooper was Cooper, and embarrassed anyone who attempted to cover him. I appreciate the Aggie’s defensive backs for their meager attempts. It was cute.

Besides the exceptional play from our players, the thing I was the most happy about was the attitude that the team had. It was nice to see them get their swagger back. After big hits and great plays, it was awesome to see the bench meet the guys on the field for air hips, chest bumps, and other cool celebrations. Also, kudos to the Bryant-Denny DJ for playing more rap music. It was really swag.  

Overall, it was a great game and atmosphere. If you didn’t go to the game, then I feel really bad for you. My sophomore year, I remember complaining to my parents that Alabama football wasn’t exciting to watch because we just demolished our opponents week in and week out, with the exceptions of Texas A&M beating us at home, and a last second touchdown screen pass thrown to Yeldon to squeak by LSU in Death Valley. This year, with all of our close games, I sincerely regret making that statement. Thank you Kirby Smart, Lane Kiffin, and St. Nick Saban for bringing our identity back. I will never doubt you, or the Bama Tide, ever again.
