Not sure I understand... ....the non-starter charged with a misdemeanor is kicked off the team while the starter charged with a felony is suspended for an undefined time???? Oh yeah, this is UT and Fulmer rules and logic! My bad.

Tommy Mac, you sound like Coach Bryant in the '60's (I was there 61-66). We had a big tackle then, bigger than any other lineman on the team, named Steve Wright who never did start for Bama but went on to a good career in the NFL. CMS and Johnston have both said they prefer to take lean players...

Henry Smith (DT) and Chris Felder (DB) are prior recruits from the 2003 class that went the JUCO route because of academics. Both were highly rated coming out of high school and should be good additions to the team. Haven't heard how they performed in JUCO. Both should have 3 years to play two...

Spot does have a way with words, doesn't he?

Roller, I had the exact same reaction when I saw the pics. Hope he plays as good as he looks.

When Miles Brand or Dr. Witt talk about improving athletic academics and Presidents taking control and instituting reform that are being a little bit two faced and applying a double standard. Consider the following three points. 1. With a few exceptions, the major college graduation rates for...

I'm hoping that Nikita will be this year's LeRon McLain. But if not, his plan to complete JC in five semesters and graduate in Dec 2005 will give him 4 years to play three. To do that though, he will have to start JC in June. Hopefully the reason he dropped out of the Ala-Miss allstar game was...

With the qualifying situation clearing up, Marcel Stamps has been asked to report this summer rather than grayshirting. Prior reports said his 40 time was 4.55. Recently watched some old clips of him available on BOL and he looked FAST on offense and a real big time hitter on defense. His...

The scholarship available from Nic's leaving will not be available to a new recruit (which would count against the 19 initial counters for this incoming class). Instead, it will count against the total limit of 85 and only be available to a walk on who has been in the program for two years.

Heard Dr. Witt speak last night about his vision and new programs for UA. Very exciting stuff going on. Ten years from now no one will mention Sorenson in the same sentence. He said current graduation rate for incoming freshmen is 68% (defined as getting their degree in 5 years) with only 83%...

BamaTodd Good to see you posting over here. This site is generally more fun and definitely more civil than TS.com. Hope your kids are doing well.

Tidedog67, not reaching, just want to discuss something other than Memphis. RE: per capita talent, agree completely; however my point was that our total quantity was dropping relative to our neighboring states. I too would like to see us play for a NC within 10 years, maybe I'm not yet a true...

No links, but I was at the meeting and heard it first hand.

I've expected for some time that 2004 and 2005 would be our worst years due to the sanctions, so I'm not depressed over that prospect. However I did have a very disturbing though today listening to oltimers, like myself, discuss the Lakers and the Celtics. Are we destined to be like the...

The Key and Scott families will be in our prayers.
