I sit here today going through all of my old posts and I just came across one with the above title. It pertains to Alabama's bowl game in 2011. We had the privilege of going to the Capital One Bowl in Miami. It wasn't the national championship game that we wanted to be in, but our team was damn sure going to play like it was. Let's just say, we beat the crap out of Michigan State. Here are some of the quotes that Michigan State fans were saying about our team:
"Julio takin' us to schoolio"
"Why are they allowing Alabama to play with 35 players on defense?"
"I think their punter is currently drinking around the world in Epcot."
"If we played 10 times, they would win 15."
"We need much more to compete against a true BCS team. We need a couple of CB's, safeties that can tackle and a pass rush. That's just defense."
"If Cam Newton costs $200,000 for a season, how much is a 2nd half rental?"
"And now Cousins is dead."
"If I was our QB I would hire an attorney and sue them for negligence or intentional infliction of physical and emotional distress."
"I'm ready to accept MSU boosters paying for an offensive line. If we get caught I can deal with it."
"This is getting out of hand...an Alabama D-lineman just popped out of my TV and threw me 10 yards behind my couch."
"Do you think this is how Custer felt?"
"We're going to have a wing named after us at Orlando Regional Medical Center by the time this game finishes."
"Well we kept it under 50."
"We brought our band down to Orlando? I had no idea!"
"SO THIS IS WHAT THEY MEAN BY TEAM SPEED!"
"If I'm Maxwell, I fake an injury on the way to the huddle."
"I can't believe Saban let the 4th stringers play for a quarter and a half and didn't put in the 5th string. POS."
All I can say about these is that Michigan State lost graciously and provided much entertainment for Crimson Tide fans. Never did Michigan State give up and that's just the opponent we love to face.
