    Petro Sun Independence Bowl

    I'll be really happy to go to a bowl game if for no other reason than to get extra practice for some of our young players. I'm excited about it and I think it will give the younger players a taste of going to a bowl which will add incintive to next year to go to a better bowl so maybe a little...

    Is it time to remove the names from the jerseys?

    Re: is it time to remove the names.... I personally don't think that numbers on jerseys or the sides of helmets means squat one way or the other as far as team unity or wether or not a player is gonna be a prima donna or not. That comes from parents, coaches and an inner personal pride to be...

    Disappointing season for Bama, but root for the Missouri Tigers!!

    I live here in Columbia, Mo. I have one problem with some of these MU fans. Where were you last year? The year before? Don't get me wrong, there are several die hard MU fans here, but come on, they didn't even fill their stadium for their final home game against aTm. That having been said, I...

    DJ Hall, "All we had to do was buy into what Coach was saying."

    I keep hearing people ask why CNS didn't replace the problem players with others. First of all, IMHO, as hard as it was to watch the last three games of the season I agree with CNS not burning redshirts for those games. CNS is going forward with his plan. As for DJ Hall, I wish he had bought...

    Somebody Has Some Explaining to Do

    You know, the coaches can yell, scream, hand out candy and use all sorts of motivational techniques and if the players are not willing to do their part then it's a mute point. When this next recruiting class comes in the seniors on the team better be awfully afraid. Those guys out there on the...

    How do y'all think Bama matchs up with Auburn

    If we don't change the way we're playing between today and next week we're gonna get killed. I hate to say that but appearantly we have either lost the desire to play or some people on the team have attitudes and need a real adjustment real quick. RTR

    How do y'all think Bama matchs up with Auburn

    If we don't play any better than what we are right now we're gonna get killed. I hate to say it but we are just losing it for some reason. Something just has to change. RTR

    SEC officiating

    I don't mind the calls where the officials allow the play to continue so that a review can be called upon to make sure the call is correct. What I have a big problem with as far as officiating is when on personal foul penalties two or more players are blatently involved and instead of the ref...

    Saban answers queston about Jimmy Johns on "hey coach" (pay attention 'doubters'!)

    Re: Saban answers queston about Jimmy Johns on "hey coach"(pay attention 'doubters'!) I would rather CNS set and abide by his dicipline rules now and get everyone on the same page than beat MSU this year because in the long run it will pay big dividends. If he's gonna let one player get by with...

    Reality Check: Your pre-season predictions??

    I picked us to be in the 7 - 8 wins range and overall I have seen improvement throughout the season. Another year in CNS' S&C program and our O line will be much improved. JMHO but I really think that's where we're coming up short at still. We're still not quite strong enough to get the push we...

    Coach Applewhite: How has he done his first year?

    I think overall CMA has done a pretty good job with what he's had to work with. Not to say we don't have tallent on our team. I just don't think we have the right tallent to do what CNS and staff want to do. We've definitely made progress in that we throw the ball down the field more and our...

    Bama needs a hammer at the RB position

    There's alot we need and it seems as though CNS and staff are recruiting like madmen to get it. Patience is a virtue and something we BAMA fans weren't blessed too much with. We'll be alright in the long run. RTR

    #28 added to offense

    Before we get too carried away with adding so much to our offense I think we should concentrate on getting five linemen on our offensive line who can consistantly block and then worry about reverses and stuff like that. I think adding someone like Arenas will be fine and good when we have the...

    Play Call on INT return

    Myself and others on this board stated before the season that we would be 7-5 or 8-4 when all was said and done. Our reasoning for this was simply that as a team we did not posses the strength and stamina it takes to win alot of games in the SEC at this time. That has been made evident by the...

    Time to put McElroy in!!

    It's amazing how at the first of the year everyone was singing JPW's praises and singing about how he was the one to take us to the promissed land and now we're all ready to lynch him. Another thing that I've noticed is that in everyone's assesment of JPW's interception at the end of the 1st...
