Mike, I'm not lowering my expectations. NEVER!! THIS IS ALABAMA FOOTBALL!!!!! Yes, I expect Alabama to win every competition they enter - football, baseball, tiddlywinks, whatever. I guess my 'amen' to the original post is just an acceptance of the difficulties facing Coach Shula and the team - plus a (much too recent) memory of 2000. Yes, I want the wins, but at least as much as that, I DON'T want to see the confusion, lackadaisical, me first, out-of-shape, give-up-in-the-first-quarter attitudes that I saw in 2000. If we have the teamwork and commitment that I expect to see from Alabama football, then the wins will take care of themselves. Jenny
