Curry Returns to T-Town: Georgia State/Alabama

The Georgia State Panthers, led by former Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Bill Curry, will invade Bryant-Denny Stadium tomorrow night.

Curry has accepted the daunting responsibility of coaching/starting a football program from the ground up…and has been successful thus far.

The Panthers are currently 6-4 on the season and utilize the Georgia Dome as their home stadium. GSU will join the Colonial Athletic Association in 2012.

Even though the contest with the Crimson Tide is simply based upon Georgia State receiving a check and Alabama garnering a cheap win, the return of Bill Curry to Tuscaloosa will make for some intrigue.

I feel certain that many people will watch the game (ESPNU) just to see how the fans will react to the former Crimson Tide coach.

In respect to the contest itself…don't expect too much.

Alabama will look to empty the bench and do everything possible to prevent injury to “key players” on both sides of the ball.

Simply stated, if you can play…you’ll see action against GSU.

The future looks very bright for the Georgia State football program and I’m sure the GSU players are looking forward to playing the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Georgia State has no chance to win this game, but the players will certainly never forget the night they played in Bryant-Denny Stadium.

I personally wish Bill Curry the best of luck as he continues to build and develop the Georgia State football program.
