Kirk McNair is supposed to have all details in next month's BAMA MAGAZINES.OPINIONS??? OH, I AM CERTAIN THAT THERE...

    What I am looking forward to this year...

    is proving all the Bama naysayers wrong!!! Let them go ahead and predict a 6-5 or 5-6 year for us. Let them go ahead and predict Brodie will go out and be injured. That is simply not going to happen again in my opinion. I am here :p to tell you is that I love for our opponents to overlook us...

    With the coming of the 12th game in 2006...

    should the SEC move back their championship game a week to allow the teams a bye week during the season ? I say yes because the teams will need the off week to rest up. :tongue:

    My Introduction to March Madness...

    came in March of 1974 in Tuscaloosa, not with a 'BAMA team, but at Memorial Coliseum!! Bama could not go to an NCAA tournament that year because only 32 teams were allowed to go and we had lost the SEC championship to Vandy. We were excluded from the NIT because of a weird NCAA rule which kept...

    In my opinion the last word on LY is...

    I have absolutely no influence or control on what takes place in Memphis,TN. In fact the only thing that I have any control of are my actions and attitudes about life. This is why I see it to be comical why SEC fans continue to place blame on UA or any other school for the actions of any...

    Speaking of Senior Bowl Practices...

    My favorite one of all was held in January of 1963 at U.M.S. in Mobile, the home of the game. All of us boys were starry eyed over the 31 tackles that Lee Roy Jordan had made in Alabama's 17-0 victory over Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl. Everyone was getting autographs from all of the South players...

    Let's just remember these words...

    at halftime of the 1960 AL-GA. TECH game with Bama down 15-0. Coach Bryant spoke to a hushed dressing room. "Coaches, who's got the cokes? Men, we got them just where we want them!!" Final score , Bama 16 Tech 15. The more things change, the more things remain the same!!! Boy, I am I ready...

    The National Championship is not...

    Auburn is scrambling now after that narrow win last night and will attempt to lay claim to any split national championship that anyone will award them. But they will not be successful at this I believe because of the factor of Utah. Last year as you...

    At this time of the year I think about...

    Nearly 20 years ago when I was down in New Orleans on St. Charles Avenue during Mardi Gras. Believe me, it was one of those early spring days that you do not have a care in the world. I had just seen Lorne Green from the Old Bonanza series the night before, riding on a float. I saw the order of...

    History repeats itself...

    It is hard remembering all the way back to the Civil War since none of us were alive. That is why we have historians and books. For me I learned alot about the history of the old south in Ten Hoor Hall at UA back in the 70's. Today I heard a historian say that southern men of the 1920's and...

    What 1980 has to do with 2005...

    Good Grief, it will have been 25 years since Herschel ran over old Bill Bates up in Knoxville. As Larry Munson put it, "And he's only a freshman!!!" Well, time waits for no man and what does next year have to do with 1980? Well, The Dogs were 6-5 in 1979, and then proceeded to win the national...

    Cecil Is The Man...

    I have been listening to Cecil Hurt for a number of years as I am sure many of you have. It finally dawned upon me this morning what he had been saying as to why we have taken such a nosedive in football over the last decade. Everyone knows that probation and the change of coaches has severely...

    Those guys did not waste any time...

    I just reviewed the records of Pete Carroll at USC and Bob Stoops at OU. In Carroll's first year at USC he finished 6-6. Carroll then went 11-2 in 2002, and shared the national championship last year with a 12-1 mark. Stoops was 7-5 for his first year in 1999. Then OU won the national...

    Who's to Blame at South Carolina ?

    Did the fight at USC-Clemson game cost the Gamecocks more than a bowl or did it cost them their next coach, Steve Spurrier ? Will Spurrier want to go to Columbia now or will he also decline the invitation ? Only time will tell and I for one cannot read Spurrier's mind. It seems that the poor...

    Congrats To Auburn But What If...

    Okay, Auburn won fair and square and I thought we played about as well as we could have. But WHAT IF WE HAD BRODIE, CASTILLE, AND HUDSON HEALTHY FOR THE SEASON AND AUBURN HAD LOST CAMPBELL, WILLIAMS, AND BROWN. What would Bama's record be? What would Auburn's record be? I realize that injuries...

    Tide versus Gophers?

    We may be facing Minnesota in the Music City. I watched alot of their game against Big Ten Co-Champions, Iowa and they only lost by two. I remember they took Arkansas to the woodshed a few years ago in that bowl.

    Keep Your Chins Up...

    Whatever happens Saturday we will back for a bowl game and for 2005. Although this is the worst season for injuries in our storied football history, we are not the first team to be drastically affected by injuries nor will we be the last. This season has taught me that Bama will be returning to...

    Favorite Game ???

    In the last few years, beating Purdue in the NIT at their place. When I was going to Bama in the early 70's, our win over Minnesota in the NIT. Yours ?
