    Your favorite podcasts...

    The last few years, I've really enjoyed podcasts as a way to kill off time where I'm not doing anything - particularly when I'm driving to/from work. Some of my favorites are the Bundesliga Diaries, Exploring My Strange Bible, BBC Football Daily, Hillsdale Dialogues, Matt Lewis and the News...

    Looking for refrigerator thoughts/advice...

    Short story - we bought a home was built in mid-1980s, and previous homeowners left the refrigerator (original to the house). I believe the compressor has gone out, and we've moved everything to our newer (relative to previously mentioned fridge) refrigerator in our garage. If push came to...

    Looking for home warranty advice...

    My wife and I bought a home in the Huntsville-area a couple months ago, and while things are great with the home, I know that things will eventually fall apart. I'm not particularly handy, and while there will be some things I'll learn to do, there are other things that are just better for an...

    Dryer help...

    My wife and I recently moved into our new apartment. We took our dryer with us, and got it hooked up. At the previous apartment, we had to use a 4-pronged electric cord, but at our current place, we are using a 3-pronged electric cord. What we are noticing is that our clothes are not drying...

    My future wife and I will be spending our honeymoon in Oahu this year. It'll be my third time back on the islands, but her first. December 2009 was the first time she'd been west of the Rockies. We've been trying to see what are some good places to eat and/or see in Oahu. We will be there...

    When you did realize that we were actually playing for the National Championship?

    I'm sick and tired of the rumors, explosion of media coverage who clearly are grasping at anything to make a story, and just really wanting to college football to come back quicker. So, I put this on here to remember when things were simpler. Regardless of whether you were at the Rose Bowl, or...

    I was at the Rose Parade in Pasadena yesterday...

    Well, really my trip in Pasadena started there at 10:30AM on Dec. 31st when my girlfriend and I started camping out on the parade route. Throughout the day, we got some Roll Tides from Oregon and Ohio State fans, and several fans of both teams felt that we were going to crush Texas. Plus, the...

    Link: Pat Forde's Dash: Auburn's original name...

    Dash through the 2009 bowl season and find out which teams will win - ESPN I like reading his Dash articles. He found out Auburn's original name when the school was founded in the 19th century. Scroll down about halfway to the Outback Bowl.

    Question: What is a "normal" Iron Bowl?

    As many of y'all know, I'm a native Californian going to school at UA. So far we're 2-2 against the Barn since I've been at UA. I don't recall the first two Iron Bowls being like last night - multiple heart attacks, being on edge until the clock says 00:00. I thoroughly enjoyed last year's...

    My thoughts on the Arkansas game...

    I was at the game, sitting in the student section... - This is possibly the first season where I have no worry about the offense. Even though it was 0-0 after the first quarter, I had absolutely no doubt. Yes, we didn't run the ball as well (which was because of Arkansas stacking the line)...

    Iron Bowl Student Tickets...

    I'm at work, and a friend of mine texted me saying that he lost his Iron Bowl tickets. Apparently, UA sold too many student Iron Bowl tickets, so they refunded all students who have less than 78 hours completed through Fall 2008. I probably lost mine as well, having completed 77 hours...

    Flank steak fajita tacos...

    I'm from California (in case you couldn't figure it out), and back home, we always eat fajita tacos before football games, along with your normal hot dogs, burgers, ribs, etc. You can use this marinade for any meat, I just prefer using flank steak. Also, we Californians love our garlic, so...

    Nike strikes another school with new unis...

    First it was typically Oregon and Miami with the crazy looks. Then it became Clemson, Arizona, and Oregon State. Now it's California. http://www.fanblogs.com/california/007608.php I really really really really hope that Alabama never allows Nike to change our uniforms.

    Alabama Fan Day...

    I know there was a thread on this before but I can't find it using the search function (there weren't any threads found) so I'm asking because a bunch of football fans at work are asking me: when is Alabama Fan Day? I know in the previous thread about this, it was either on August 3rd or 10th...

    Humor about SEC fanbases...

    I found this on a USC board. A LSU fan posted it on there. What do y'all think? #1 is totally true Found this on another board and thought it was funny. Have to be able to laugh at yaself too. 1. Auburn: Always the bridesmaid, never the bride. Even 7 straight wins over Alabama hasn't...

    Saw some Alabama football team members come into my work yesterday...

    I work at Jimmy John's on University and was working last night. Coach Steele came in and ordered our Vegetarian sandwich. He asked if we still had fresh tomatoes (which are on recall if y'all haven't heard) and we said no. He said that the salmonella wouldn't affect him one bit. Terrence...
