It's my understanding that CRP and CMS would probably never gell as a team. I just don't see it happening. There have been "issues" with CRP in Tuscaloosa. I'll leave it at that.

I can safely say It will eat away at my soul until next year's game.

I sure am glad no one overreacts (extreme sarcasm) when anyone says anything good about JPW. A couple of points here: 1. No one here "hates" Brodie. He is/was a fine QB, a good kid from a great family, loves Alabama and came here when he could've gone pretty much anywhere. My wife and...

As far as facilities go I'd say Texas has some of the better facilities in the country. Arkansas has a REALLY nice stadium (saw it in person last fall, very impressive).

Miami wins this one VT has played absolutely NO ONE. A mediocre GT and a so so Boston College. They have yet to play anyone with speed and Miami has it in spades. If they beat Miami, I'll be a believer. Until then, Miami by 17 points.

Born, I thought he was a good guy when he was here and he recruited pretty well but he pretty soured a lot of the good will he engendered by how he left and his comments about Alabama since then. He left in part because he wanted the University to guarantee he would be get X amount of dollars...

No doubt there are a few that were hummed in but there have been a number of them at critical times that were NOT, the receiver flat out dropped them. Pro and Hall have been pretty consistent, the others have not been. I hope the receiver positions (other than Hall and Pro) are all WIDE open to...

My wife and I were watching South Carolina-Tennessee this past Saturday night and Gottfried was on. He sounded like he was slurring words and REALLY struggling to talk. I'm not being a wise butt. Seriously, does anyone know if he's had a stroke or maybe has an alcohol problem?

I hope and pray to God that our fans/players/coaches don't whine like Auburn's did last year. They came across as whiney, girlie men. The BCS system was agreed upon years ago. Is if flawless? Of course not, but that is the system. To whine about it after the fact makes you look like a poor...

I've got an old University yearbook from 1981-82 and in the section on the football team, there's a great picture of him running the ball with FB Ricky Moore (#26) and HB Joe Carter (#46) lead blocking for him. He was a good option QB but I never knew about the injury thing.

I doubt you'd find any Tide fans ready to write off Jimmy Barnes. But let's face it, he's redshirting this year and as such, you don't hear much about those guys. Besides, I wish I had a dollar for every "All World" player that needed redshirting. Shaun Alexander redshirted and he may be the...

There is still talent on the D for next year DT: Jeremy Clark and Justin Britt have played A LOT and/or started some games. Add to the mix Dominic Lee (who has played a fair amount) and redshirt Freshman Byron Walton. DE: Gilberry returns as one starter there, Chris Harris has played a good...

Palm Bay Auburn beating Georgia DOES help Alabama. Obviously, a team with one loss is going to be outranked by an undefeated team. However, I can NEVER pull for Auburn. I wouldn't care if Auburn was playing a team of Satan worshipping, crack dealing transvestites, I'd have to pull for the Satan...

My hope is that the Tide gets up BIG early and the starters get a rest so that guys like Coffee and Johns get a lot of carries. You can practice all day long but it's just not the same as playing in a game. I also hope Guillon gets some reps since it appears JPW is probably suspended. Talk...

Turning, I can't remember the source but it wasn't the National Enquirer or Star Magazine. Maybe People magazine? It's been 5-7 years ago, if memory serves. Again, those were NOT her exact words but the gist of what she'd said.
