Fourth Quarter

At the beginning of the fourth quarter of every Alabama game, all the Crimson Tide fans hold up four fingers. This, probably a tradition set forth by The Bear himself, is meant to signify, "We own the fourth quarter." It is a rally. There is plenty of ball game left to come back from behind or stomp the opponents farther into the ground.

I have four days left before the Step. Although I am constantly on the verge of tears induced by stress, feelings of imminent failure, or intimidation by the vast amount of knowledge I am being tested on, I have decided to take a deep breath, and boldly hold up four fingers. I own these last four days.


"If you believe in yourself and have dedication and pride - and never quit, you'll be a winner. The price of victory is high but so are the rewards." -- Paul "Bear" Bryant
