New Years in New Orleans

Ringing in the new year in New Orleans was fantastic... we watched fireworks over the river, ate on a balcony on Bourbon Street, and watched two great football teams. It's been 8 days, and I've come to terms with the loss (perhaps because the weekend was so memorable!). The mood on our bus after the game was much lighter than it was after our loss to Florida. Rather than sit in our hotel and play games, we ventured out into New Orleans and enjoyed our final night. Losing to Utah was awful, but in spite of the outcome, I'm excited for next year. I think we all are.

The last Alabama football game for many months was bittersweet, but it sure was memorable. I think we'll have even more fun next year in Pasadena if we get the chance. So here's to a new year, and a countdown to Bama's 13th National Championship.
