    McElroy scores Jets only pre-season TD

    Greg McElroy threw the NY Jets only TD in the pre-season. I really like this guy...he should be the Jets back-up QB. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/mcelroy-leads-jets-td-28-092128525--nfl.html

    The o-line didn't work so good

    This is the first SEC team and the o-line wasn't pushing any one around. Do you think of o-line will be ok?

    Alabama will probably go to Atlanta in 2008

    Before everyone attacks me as being deranged or worse.... I was thinking back (way back) to when Bama used to compete for SEC championships and I don't ever recall going to Atlanta in years when I expected Bama to dominate. It always seems that in the last 15-20 years, Bama seems to have more...

    Saban's secret weapon: The Tide fan base

    Having been raised in the state of Alabama and been a dedicated, Bama fan for four decades (since age six), I always knew Tide fans cared and were more knowledgeable about college football than the average fan base...I also realized that (per capita) Bama fans cared more about their team in...

    A buddy ran into DJ Fluker in Foley the other day...

    DJ Fluker was playing pick-up basketball the other day at a local gym in Foley and a buddy had his young (6 & 10 yr old) kids there too. He said this young man is incredibly large and when he shook kis hand, DJ's fingers extended well past his wrist and onto his lower forearm. My friend then...

    Winning with defense

    With all this hopeful talk (and apparant promise) of slow, but steady assension to past levels of offensive respectability, I couldn't help but fondly think back to 1992 when the Crimson Tide won with terrifying defense. 1992. What a crazy, upside down season. I can't think of time before or...

    A more "Quarterback friendly" offense...

    This is what Saban called it and I think this addition will represent the single biggest reason for more wins in 2008. I never really thought about the reasons why Bama's offense seemed to always struggle to control the ball and sustain drives, but one of the reasons was that the offense...

    JPW will surprise us all in 2008

    Many Bama fans looked no further than #14 when diagnosing the Tide's problems in 2007...and seem dejected by the prospect of watching another season with JPW pulling the trigger. Many wonder how Coach Saban could leave JPW in games last season when he was so obviously incapable of making the...

    Probation really educates fan base on how difficult it is to build a solid team...

    Reading threads about all our team's holes, weaknesses, youth and inexperience, it really makes a fan (like myself) realize how difficult it is to build quality depth at the SEC level. I know the Internet has made everything much more visible, but I can recall a time when most of us niether knew...

    Is Bama pinnacle of college football (aka self-aggrandizing off-season musings)

    One of the few nice things about the college football off-season and the associated derth of important and/or interesting topics to discuss, is the opportunity to expend limited brain power pondering some rather frivolous, off-the-cuff, theoretical questions. To this end, I'd like to throw out...

    Have we ever had a good Aurburn fan hang out of TF?

    I've been around TF for about 10 years now...first as Slidell-based "Nawlins Tide" and now as (a happier) Gulf Shores-based "Proxigean". During the past decade, one interesting and endearing characteristic of TF is its ability to attract nice, sane, intelligent and friendly rival posters who...

    2 major reasons for Auburn & UT recruiting crash

    I believe there are 2 reasons why Auburn and UT have been able to recruit so well this past decade and both those influences/circumstances have been eliminated...resulting in inability to recruit and disappointing classes for both: 1. Auburn and UT took advantage of unstable or inept coaching...

    Man defense and coverage sacks: which comes first, chicken or egg?

    A defensive back in man coverage is said to be alone..."on an island"...with no expectation of friendly company or help of any kind. How long can he survive, alone on this island? Considering the speed and talent level of SEC recievers, the answer is most often...NFL -- not for long. When Bama...

    What if the UA-AU recruiting results were reversed?

    Yesterday, USA Today commented on the fast and highly successful start by Saban and Bama with respect to recruiting. If the country is noticing that Bama is cleaning up early, you know this fact hasn't escaped our cross-state rivals or their fans. In the recruiting war, the present distance...
