Hey, 'Bama fans--this ought to be appropriate for a Sunday morning:
Dark is the stain that we cannot hide
What can avail to wash it away?
Look! There is flowing a crimson tide
Brighter than snow may you be today.

Grace, grace, God's grace,
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within;
Grace, grace, God's grace,
Grace that is greater than all our sin.

Julia H. Johnson & Daniel B. Towner, 1911

Could it be that Julia Johnson, a Presbyterian from Illinois, and Daniel Brink Towner, the great Methodist hymn writer from Pennsylvania, were University of Alabama football fans?

What’s interesting is that Alabama’s next potentially tough game will be at LSU on November 8, 2008. If coach Nick Saban can keep the team up on a high standard of play they will end up in Miami to play for the BCS Championship.
