Game # 1 of big five game streak begins in Columbia...

Tomorrow night our beloved Crimson Tide travels to Columbia, South Carolina. I'm glad we are wearing the red uniforms because we will fit right in. South Carolina is just to the right of the Flat Earth Society. The only flat surface the team will think about is one 94 feet long. But the Tide will not there to debate the merits of Carolina's political philosophy. They will be there to debate the relative merits of the South Carolina Gamecocks and the Crimson Tide. This is game # 1 in a five game swing that can get the Tide back in the four or five seed brackets. Here's my prediction for the next five games. Us 5 - them 0. I feel this is going to happen. The team regained some of its balance in the Kentucky game and even though they lost they fixed a few problems. If you missed last nights article you might want to go back and read it.
Alabama is likely a bit anxious after 3 straight losses, and now a road game. Carolina is simply desperate. Another home loss will see their coach hung in effigy, unless the unruly mob actually catches the man. The we may have a new definition of goal tending. Fans are angry at their coach. Not just a few call in fans to radio shows, but sending a moving van mad. Look, I don't mean to be vulgar but I have to wonder just how violate a school can be when their spirit chant is "Let's go Cocks". You can imagine what the reply is from the other school, and it isn't about the all day sucker variety. Ah, the joys of youth and all the lack of civility it brings. Bama is big favorite tomorrow. How rare is it to see a road team in the SEC favored? Last year many people thought that Auburn was the worst Major Division One program. I think that South Carolina edged them out, and this season has started off as dismal as a wet rat at a cat convention. In Tuscaloosa, expectations were high for a great season. In Columbia, expectations were more along the line of winning a few Pre-SEC games.
When Carolina hired Mark Fox away from Western Kentucky he was the official Dixie Dandy of college basketball. It started out with a trip to the NIT. The next year it plunged. I don't think that Carolina has one player who could crack the rotation expect their point guard. That is not the same thing in saying that Carolina can't win. I once saw a midway midget beat up a spectator at the Bount County Fair. The spectator was black and blue on every spot of his body below the belt line. So anything can happen. That's why I always feel a bit of trepidation when the Tide hits the road, I learned to fear road games from Wimp Sanderson and understood why under Mark Gottfried. When coach Grant can get this team on the level of Wimp Sanderson, greatest coach in Alabama history, he will have arrived. The Official Arrival, no the expectation arrival, No one else is in the same sentence with Wimp except C.M. Those two put Alabama basketball on the map. But I believe that Anthony Grant 'lis the same type guy.,
Now Anthony Grant has a five game streak that can restore a lot of faith in him and his team. If he can manage the five-fecta I will walk to Coleman Coliseum. I'll start McFarland Mall, of course, but given the fact I'm sixty-five and in not-robust shape that still that's a pretty good haul. You bet that the Tide wins five, but loses even one game, I'll start start walking, plus everyone else who bet we'd win five. We win 'em all you do the walking. I know there is a lot of fans out there that say "we can't win five in row". We'll I'm telling you to put your Nike's where your mouth has been. Game on. Lets do this for charity at 10 bucks a man. You have to pay win or lose. Helping the tornado victims in Clay makes everyone a winner.
