I don't worship it, but you will see soon the difference. I hear you say the crowd at Texas could be a difference in the Alabama game. Go to some road games in the SEC. You won't compete with Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, A&M, Tennessee, Auburn, Georgia or LSU. The Texas crowd won't phase Alabama one bit. SEC is just a fun place to play. The tailgating and atmosphere is unreal. I've been to 10 of the 14 venues. You can't quote me running my mouth about A&M much. I've been as much of a realist as anyone. Sadly, we aren't worried about you "packing our shit". Start with Kansas and the other 6 you lost to and work your way up from there.
It will be fun and I can't wait either.
