Sunday Stealing on Monday

A&M 14
'Bama 33

Gah. We were winning in the third quarter against what is probably the best college football team in all of history. One ill-timed roughing the passer penalty led to a Tide touchdown, followed by huge emotional deflation, then 13 more points for 'Bama by the end of the game. I am so proud that we are incredibly improved from the past couple of years against them, and very disappointed that we couldn't keep up the fight.

Congrats to the crazy-amazing Crimson Tide. We'll see you next year!
