Louisiana-Monroe shocks Alabama
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) - Alabama's fans were subdued to start Saturday's game. They seemed restless to shove little Louisiana-Monroe aside and get on to Auburn. You know, the matchup that really defines a season for the Crimson Tide.
This might just have become that game for Nick Saban's reeling team - a stunning 21-14 upset to the 24 1/2-point underdogs from the Sun Belt Conference.
The WarHawks had nothing to apologize for in a rare win over a Southeastern Conference team for their school and their league, both of whom have been bullied by the big, bad SEC.
"This win means everything to our program right now," tailback Frank Goodin said. "It's the biggest win as far as I know for this program."
It was the WarHawks' first victory over an SEC team since beating Mississippi State in 1995 and their third in 33 tries, improving their record to 3-29-1. The Sun Belt had been 0-11 against the SEC this season.
YeeHaw!

I am thankful for you because you have always loved sports. Since I don't know anything about college football - except college boys play - then I have to say "How aboout those Cowboys and Broncos?" Sometimes the Broncos are just what is needed to help put me to sleep on Sunday afternoon. :) Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day. Love you, Caren
