I was on the Nick Saban Show!
Our beloved Crimson Tide showed new life this weekend as we went down to Ole Miss to face the Rebels. Many considered this to be an easy win but Ole Miss somehow always plays teams close but never pulls out a win. Being in the band I always have a unique perspective at the games. You HAVE to cheer on the team. Even if something goes wrong. What I'm starting to notice though is sometimes our fans and students have no idea what they are talking about when it comes to college football. First of all you never expect a blowout in an SEC game. Secondly don't boo your own players. I know John Parker Wilson hasn't been the greatest quarterback this year, but he is starting to come together. The saddest thing I saw this weekend was when the ball got batted down at the line of scrimmage by the Ole Miss defense. People started booing Wilson. Hello! That's not his fault. It's up to the offensive line to bat the ball down. See what I mean about people not knowing football. On the day Wilson was 26 of 40 for 256 yards. Not bad. He was intercepted once but again the ball was tipped at the line of scrimmage. Defense was what I was disappointed in. We let them drive the field all day. Then when we have them 4th and 16 against the goal line. We let them have a big play. But we still came out with the win. The coolest thing though about this weekend though was definately being on the Nick Saban Show. I got to ask Nick Saban a question. He answered it on the show. I found out the H back is really the fourth reciever on the ball. Something I didn't know. He can be a back, tightend, or receiver. So anyways all and all it was a great weekend for Crimson Tide fans. As I was leaving the stadium a drunk Ole Miss student walked up to me. "How do you like that the reffs gave you the game?" You think they would be use to losing now. Also you have to love how these people always want to pick a fight with the band kids. Who knows. All I had to say was teach you're receiver how to stay in bounds.

I understand completely what you're saying. I can't stand it when fans boo their own players. I just want to yell at them to support their team and be a good fan no matter what, because that is what I try to do.
good comeback to the drunk ole miss fan. and i agree w u- that interception was simply good defense on ole miss's part, not bad offense.
i know what you mean about not booing your own players, and JP had a relatively good game against ole miss. but just because hes a player does not mean he is not susceptible to criticism. i wont necessarily boo JPW but his decision making outside of the last two minutes of our last three games has been disappointing and i think it couldnt have hurt to let McElroy play some. Auburn put kody burns in when brandon cox wasnt performing and the next time cox went in, he was playing smart football. Maybe JP needs competition to keep him at his best.
Okay, let's try this again. That's awesome. I'd love to have a question answered on the Nick Saban Show. I was definitely disappointed in our defense on Saturday, but, hey, we won so it's all good.
