So even though that didn't turn out the way I wanted, we won something more valuable: Respect.
After years and years of being the team who according to the media (especially ESPN) was talented but never good enough, or the team who somehow ended up "Clemsoning" a game a way, we have rightfully earned the respect we have deserved for years.
So Alabama, good for you, for racking up ANOTHER trophy in your already full trophy case. You can keep it...My Tigers will take their hard earned respect and keep it in their hearts and in the hearts of their fans.
My boys...I'm proud of you, I love you, and I love your spirit that never quits. I am thrilled to see you next year!
PS- We made Nick Saban throw his headset. Another win! ??
