BOL Round Table

Coach Saban will be at the Crimson Caravan in Columbus, GA tonight, but prior to the event he made a stop at the Maneuver Center of Excellence at Fort Benning. He was greeted and spoke to the F Company 2nd/19th Infantry(Basic Training) at the National Infantry Museum. The Company lined the path leading into the Museum. The sight reminded me of Saturday's at Bryant Denny, 10 levels deep of fans and a sea of crimson. Today it was 1 level deep lined with young men who have just recently raised their hands and said that they would "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic...." When Coach Saban, Mal Moore and the rest of the entourage had stepped out of their vehicles, one of the Drill Sergeants bellowed, "Company! Attention!" The 100+ strong young men snapped to attention and yelled, "ROLL TIDE!" To which Coach Saban and the others smiled and applauded. I promise it was better than the scene from the movie, Crimson Tide. Although you can't see Coach Saban in the video, you can see and hear the welcome he received.

I wanted to share my experience, and to say that I've never been more proud to be an Alabama fan than I was today.

Roll Tide!
