As an alumnus and longtime fan, I couldn’t be prouder of the Alabama Crimson Tide’s performance last night in the semifinal. But ESPN’s Ivan Maisel manages to make it sting just a little, pointing out that, “No team has won more games at AT&T Stadium this season than Alabama. The Tide have two victories; the Dallas Cowboys have one.” I’ve been rooting for the Cowboys four decades now and had high hopes coming off a 12-4 season that ended one idiotic rule away from the NFC championship game.
One Season, Two Directions
Alabama has won more games at the Cowboys’ home field this year than the Cowboys.

As a long-time Tennessee Vol, I watched the SEC Championship game with a sad heart. My vols had been ahead of both ‘Bama and Florida in the 4th quarter and found a way to lose both games. Then I watched Oklahoma who we’d also beaten for 3 quarters play in the Championship Series. Darn! Just hoping my boys can put Northwestern away and keep them there later today.
So as 99.9% of sports fans do, I say – ‘next year’ – and reflect that sports sure stirs some great emotions and colorizes a lot of life.
But the Cowboys? Bah!

Heh, as a Redskins fan, your tears are delicious.
Meanwhile, contrary to all reasonable expectations , The Redskins are in the playoffs. Color me gobsmacked. Of course, they’ll end up there with a mediocre record-9-7 if they beat the Cowboys Sunday. I expect their postseason to be brief-but then, on any given Sunday…
