    Mike Shula the player

    The point of the thread was to say that Mike Shula earned and deserves a place in our hearts where we keep our gridiron heroes.

    Mike Shula the player

    Got home early from work today and whats on but the '85 Iron Bowl with the Van Tiffen kick. As I was watching that final drive again there were 2 pass plays (1 to Jelks early and the last 1 to Bell) that were just about 2 of the most perfect passes ever thrown and won the game for us just as...

    It's official..Carr is out at Michigan

    First off, I take nothing away from the success LSU/Les Miles has had the past few seasons. You guys have been the cream of the crop and I'm good with that. Unlike most SEC rivals, I've always liked LSU though i have no particular reason as to why. I guess my take on Miles is a little...

    It's official..Carr is out at Michigan

    All you need is a D coordinator. Any goober can call 24 HB Dive plays on offense with a few passes thrown in.

    It's official..Carr is out at Michigan

    ESPN seemed like they felt that it was a lock that Les Miles would be their primary target. Am I the only one wondering why? http://www.lsusports.net/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=5200&ATCLID=174019&Q_SEASON=2006 Half his head coaching wins came in 2 seasons with CNS players. And while I...

    Texas Tech defeated Oklahoma

    As previously mentioned, Heupel and White were pretty good and Rhett Bomar was thought to be that next big name when he arrived. That kid was tough as nails and had he not had the problem with the pay-for-no-work thing, OU might well have been steamrolling through the schedule this year...

    My take on the season.

    Re: My 2-cents on the season... We were so happy when we were overachieving with "Independence Bowl talent"-a recent quote we all smiled about- but now seem so suprised when that lower talent level shows itself. This offseason/recruiting season will be about upgrading talent and work ethic...

    Stephen King/ Richard Bachman

    I just finished Black House and am now about 125 pages into The Talisman. I know I got the order backwards but I've also learned to read King in a different way since the DT series (above post). The crux of the idea being that all worlds (read, Kings novels) are always happening, at the same...

    Stephen King/ Richard Bachman

    The common thread in King's books is the Dark Tower series. It is an epic saga that does not fall under his normal 'horror' genre. It's a little horror, western, and sci-fi mixed into one. But, imo, here's the kicker: His entire body of work revolves around it. He wrote the first book in...

    Happy Veterans Day To the Bama Nation

    As a US Army Veteran myself, I couldn't agree more.

    Croom: "I don't have to say anything, but if I want to I can."

    Well, that wasn't so much a celebration of beating MSU as it was the pure euphoria of CMS winning 6 games period. :)

    Croom: "I don't have to say anything, but if I want to I can."

    First off, I take nothing away from Coach Croom, his staff, or his players but I think this just shows the difference between the Alabama's and the Miss St's of the world. While CSC is practicly having to hold in his desire to crow, I doubt we have ever bragged about a win over MSU. Good win...

    Chattanooga Times: Saban gives reminders of style, success
