Time to Eat Crow...

As I feared all night, CRR is staying at WVU.

Its hard to be too upset. He played there. He's from the area. He's a god there.

You'd like to see that be a difficult decision for the guy.

If it was easy for him to walk away from, it wouldn't look good for keeping him at UA.

That won't be a problem now.

Some reports are that his wife didn't want to live under a microscope.

Some reports are that he was afraid of the pressure.

I don't know that I belive all that.

But its my turn to eat crow for being so excited the last two days that I let a few of my friends in the Law School know that I was looking forward to seeing CRR in Crimson.

I hate the Birmingham News.

If they hadn't broken this story yesterday evening in an attempt "be first" maybe the pressure doesn't mount on CRR when he gets back to WV last night.

Maybe...

If...

But...

What do we do with Mal Moore?

It doesn't look like there is anyone else on the radar.

Moore has overseen some turbulent times in the football program.

But every other aspect of the Athletic Dept. has grown under his leadership.

The facilities have been renovated and expanded.

Baseball, Basketball (Mens and Womens), Softball, Gymnastics, Tennis, Golf...all made significant improvement under Mal.

The truth of the matter is, it looks like the days of prominence for the University of Alabama are over.

Maybe it is time to wake up and look around.

The SEC isn't want it used to be.

And neither is Alabama.

Don't hate CRR.

He showed the kind of love to his school that we want someone to show to Alabama.

Be upset.

Be hurt.

Don't hate.

I have to sleep. I have been up watching this story and writing my exam for Blaze since 10am yesterday. Thats a solid 29+ hours. Maybe some sleep will help soothe the pain.

I am going to drink tonight that is for damn sure.

Who's in?
