Number One Son was standing on the balcony of the Homewood Suites in downtown NOLA on New Year’s Eve carrying on a running cheer with Bama fans on other balconies and on the sidewalk below.<\/p>\n
When they started up the \u201cIt\u2019s great. To be. From Aaalabama\u2026\u201d chant, a Utah fan in the next room heard the commotion, came out on his balcony, grinned at Number One and started to scream, \u201cIt\u2019s great. To Have. Tweeeelve wives\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Good times. Not to be nullified in the least by a team which apparently left their best stuff in Atlanta and didn\u2019t show up ready to play.<\/p>\n

Roll Tide, anyway. See y’all on National Signing Day. This was merely a speed bump (and a wake-up call) on The Road to Bigger and Better Things.\n<\/p>\n
