[Nexus]

Well here it is, my projected AP Top 10 for next year as of February 11, 2011! I will mention it now and I will mention it numerous times throughout today’s blog but this is not MY preseason Top 10 for next year, it is where I project the AP Top 10 to come out at the start of the season.

Funny joke...anyways, my late football coach who played for Bryant told me the story when I was a freshman. This link explains it: http://www.rammerjammer.com/redelephant.htm

Plus, don't y'all know that every major Alabama college team has two mascots?
