Comments on: What I will remember most about the 2012 Alabama football season

I can relate as the 1992 national championship was the last I was able to experience with my dad before he died. Alabama football has always been special for me, as some of the best memories I have growing up are spending the time watching Bama games with my dad. I know he would have loved these times with Saban at Bama. But, his love for alabama football has lived on through me as well. I don’t think I would feel the way I do about Bama football without my dads influence. I mean, I probably could have rooted for another team if I wanted to. But I would have likely been an orphan LOL! But really, it wasn’t a hard choice. I will always cherish those memories, and these new ones that are created now with my own family. Roll Tide and enjoy these special times that we are privileged to witness.

Well actually you do take antibiotics for pneumonia once it becomes sn infection in your lungs. But you said you woke up with a cough and cold or flu like symptoms and then the first doctor wouldn’t give you antibiotics or steroids. So, if you actually had a cold or flu then the onset of the pneumonia would have been viral instead of bacterial and a flu shot may have prevented it from advancing. However, it sounds like now that you never had any kind of viral infection, that it was bacterial pneumonia from the start and the first doctor erred when he refused you antibiotics. Glad the baby is alright since bacterial pneumonia is extremely contageous. FROM: Dr. Crimsonstein. RTR!

Thanks for the responses. I’m really not trying to complain. It was a magical season and it was fun witnessing so much history made.

True, but I did get an antibiotic for the pneumonia both a shot and Levaquin tablets. Kept me out of the hospital because I made a good improvement pretty quick….. Doctor was worried I had pericarditis with all the chest pain. I got pretty lucky. Worst part was while I was this sick, the baby got very sick and had to make two trips to Children’s for IV fluids. That was very bad.

I have to admit that Auburn victory was sweet. And when A&M made that play for a touchdown it felt like one of those days that the breaks are going against you.

My most memorable moments: #1 Stomping Notre Dames ass and exorcising all those demons of the past. #2 Breaking LSU’s heart after they thought they had redemption. #3 Beating JawJaw and ruining their pay back plan. #4 Ass raping Barney 49-0. #5 Johnny Football batting his fumble up in the air, catching it and throwing a freaking td pass. At that moment I felt like winning wasn’t in our cards and that we should have sacrificed a virgin (maybe Katherine Webb) instead of those damn chickens. And by the way you don’t take antibiotics for colds, flu or pneumonia. They are caused by viruses and you take antiviral medicine or as in your case steroids which actually don’t do a damn thing except make you feel better until the illness passes, but can actually do you harm. Say thank you Dr. Crimsonite. LMAO. RTR!

Sorry about all the probs you have had. I for one will always remember that short pass from AJ to Lacy and the spin move and the two ND players knocking the Hades out of one another. RTR

This was actually Cappy’s post. He’s dealt with a lot this season, but thankfully is getting back on his feet from his health issues to provide his keen insight here. He’s the best.

My dad and I have been sitting in the same seats since 1992. I can’t imagine the day when he won’t be sitting next to me at a Bama game.

I’m depressed now. Thanks!

Roll Tide!
