I thought all these individual awards (ie, Butkus Award) were revealed during the big ESPN year-ender last season? Has that show been dropped?

Heard Kevin Scarbinsky interviewed on local radio in the Shoals area today. Scab indicated that he had recently done an interview with Lance Thompson and asked Lance about the UA / UF matchup in the championship game. LT was quoted as saying that losses like the one to UF last year absolutely...

Here's another look at Saban's defense from a football blogger, complete with diagrams and video. Sorry if these links have already been posted. These 3 blog installments were dated a few weeks ago, so this might be old news. If not, enjoy: Cripes! Get back to fundamentals...: Nick Saban...

Who determines the SEC weekly player awards? Is this a meaningful evaluation by knowledgeable football people, or something chosen by media / SID types?? Usually, skill player awards are pretty cut-and-dried. Anyone can read the stat lines and have a good guess at who the QB, RB, etc. will...

Neither Saban nor Mike Johnson want to see cut-block rules changed | Tide Source - al.com In the past week, I have read several comments of contempt for the Arkansas player (who was less talented) using a "cheap" technique as a last resort on a player that was more talented. I think Coach...

After growing up through the 80's and early 90's with my family's season tickets in the north end zone, I once again had end zone seats at BDS for the first time in probably 15 years. What I rediscovered on Saturday was a player's perspective to the game that is mostly lost with TV camera...

Bama commit Deion Belue (#26, Deshler Tigers red team) returned a punt for a touchdown during which he probably ran 120 yards, but it was called back for a block in the back. You can view highlights of the Deshler v. Russellville game, including this return from ground level beginning at the...

I own an HD DVR through DirecTV. From last season, I have saved the Clemson, UGA, LSU, AU, and SECCG - which have been hogging a large portion of my DVR hard drive. With the new season upon us, I finally located a DVD burner that I could borrow, and started to download these games to DVD to...

There's little way to get true "justice" in an NCAA violations case like this. We came as close as possible when the offending players served the appropriate suspension and were subsequently reinstated for play by the NCAA. I'm thankful we didn't lose scholarships, but we all know that the...

Do you think that Ken Darby's saga with the NFL will have any impact on Glenn Coffee's decision on whether to return for his senior year? Of course, this question is based on the premise that Darby had higher draft potential as a JR than he did after his SR season. I realize that each player...

http://blog.al.com/rapsheet/2008/11/alabama_defense_some_stellar_f.html Buried at the bottom of this article I found an interesting bit of info about senior opinions on the young guys to watch. IMO, a player's opinion carries as much weight as any expert scout, as these guys are physically...

Just another reason to love our coach: During postgame comments, Saban admitted it was a game-time decision to run a block (in lieu of a return) on MSU's first punt from a favorable field position. This call was made because during the course of scouting MSU's pregame warmups, we discovered...

I started seeing rumors on rival boards first thing this morning, but was comforted to read nothing here. Now that al.com is reporting that an incident is under investigation, what is the feeling about how big this story will become? Is this a major earthquake coming down the pipe, or a tremor...

After reading Les Miles' proclamation that "I don't read books" in his press conference leading up to the Bama game, I decided to see what Leslie had to say this week in the post-mortem. I found these goodies: Q: On if he worries that throwing interceptions can become a self-fulfilling...

I just watched the LSU game again, and I saw something shocking that I missed on Saturday: On JPW's TD run that was called back, Lee Corso jumped out of the sideline croud and was yelling at the sideline referee that was watching the pylon. The ref was trying to make the TD call, and Corso was...

The death of Julius Fulmer I found this and had to share it!

To steal a line from the Ol Ball Coach, I guess Les prefers to color in them.:biggrin: Reading his press conference transcript, I thought this was an amusing line: "When I wake up in the morning and I turn that film on, it’s like reading a book, and it’s exciting. I don’t read books, but if...

Last week, I posed the question "Has Mark Ingram hit the wall?" after seeing what I thoughts were signs of fatigue or a lingering injury. Well, after sitting in the stands Saturday, watching Ingram average almost 10 yards per carry and score 2 TDs, I must pose this question: Has JPW "hit the...

Has Mark Ingram "hit the wall" physically or is he trying to play thru a nagging injury? He hasn't seemed to be as effective since his bruised knee weeks ago. I remember reading an article at some point this season where Rolando McClain talked about how beat down he was during the last 3 or 4...

I'm contemplating a trip to Baton Rouge without tickets in hand. Can anyone offer a guess as to the availability of tickets outside the stadium? The last time I was there (1996) I actually had an extra ticket, and was trying to sell it. Tickets were very scarce, and I was openly accosted by...
