I searched the forum for related topics to this one, and I didn't see a thread title that addressed it directly, so I decided to start a fresh thread on this subject since it seems to be a much mentioned discussion point.
Dont'a came into this season as the appointed leader of the retooled D...
I know some of you don't care for the Bleacher Report, but I thought this article was interesting. It shows how many SEC opponents coming off a bye week Bama has faced compared to the rest of the league since 2007. Pretty interesing stuff...
It’ll be interesting to see this weekend how the SEC and the refs (and Bama) screw UT/Kifffykins and SC/Supurrior simultaneously during their game. Any thoughts on it? I think that maybe the refs will call holding only on UT players, but they’ll only call pass interference on the SC players, and...
2theadvocate.com | LSU Sports | Laney: Spread of the spread taking hold — Baton Rouge, LA
Interesting thoughts on how running a spread offense in college could really be hurting some QB's chances in the NFL. This is why I'm glad that Bama still runs some offense where the QB is under center.
There have been a few games this year where we as fans were a bit restless about the performance of the Tide, whether it be the D giving up too many yards and points to an overmatched foe, or the O struggling to put up gaudy stats and points when those are seemingly available (as in this week's...
I though I'd post some of my observations from this past Saturday's game and see what some of you guys thought about it:
1) I thought the offense showed up for this game, especially JPW. he looked confident and in control the whole game, and it was against zone defense for much of the game. Big...
What SEC team do you feel will be the most improved unit this upcoming season (besides Bama)?
I have sneaking suspicion that Ole Miss might be much improved this season. We make fun of him, but Orgeron has done a decent job recruiting, and it while I was watching the Bama-Ole Miss game last...
I thought that a discussion on the BCS Championship would be a nice change of pace.
Who will end up playing for the BCS Championship? Obviously, the winner of the UM-OSU game will be there, but who will be their opponent? Will it be ND, FL, AR, USC, or Rutgers? Or will we see a rematch of the...
I apologize if this has already been discussed in another thread, but I had a thought on the approach to motivation concerning CMS. Since CMS's coaching experience prior to taking the Bama job was all in the NFL, does he handle motivating the players the way that most NFL coaches handle it...
What do some of you guys think are signs of a good coaching staff? For me, its quality of special teams play, and penalties. If a team has solid special teams play, and the team is not penalized much, then, to me, that shows that the coaching staff pays attention to fundamentals and details. I...
I wanted to pose this question to the Mods, or to any of you fellow Tide fans who might know. Among our players over the past three years, and among our players now, how many would play, or start, for the other SEC powers (LSU, AU, GA, TN)? I wanted to see, on a player to player scale, how Bama...
I was wondering if any mods or some of you numbers guys had the time and the means to find and post the number of times a CMS coached Bama team has made it into the redzone, and how many of those times we have come away with points. Also, what is the number of touchdowns compared to the number...
I didn't get to watch or listen to the game, but from what I've read on this site, one thing occurs to me. Perhaps CMS and his staff planned this game like it was an NFL pre-season game. If you watch pre-season games, you'll see coaches mixing up the lineups a little, substituting players here...
How did the DL perform? I've read alot of positive reviews of our DL from spring and fall camps, but I haven't seen any remarks on their play in the Hawaii game. Did they perform up to expectations? Did anyone get hurt? Did we rotate in some younger guys, or did we stick with a 4-5 man rotation?
Does anyone know of any radio stations that (1) broadcast the Bama-Hawaii game, (2) have a "Listen Online" function and (3) AREN'T BLACKED OUT?????
I need a Bama fix in Charlotte, NC!
This is not a joke. It actually happened this way.
A friend of mine was driving back to Mobile from north Alabama when he was passed on the interstate by a new, black Jaguar that had a Florida Gator tag on it. His wife commented on what a nice car the Gator had. A little while later, my friend...
After reading the numerous threads posted by the Mods and other folks in the know regarding the teams' progress this Spring, I can't help but think that our first game against Hawaii, and our entire schedule, could pose a significant problem. It seems to be the consensus on this board that our...
Lets do some speculating here. Lets say that Virginia Tech wins against Miami this Saturday, and ends up finishing the season undefeated. They then beat Florida State in the ACC Championship and jump over Texas in the BCS standings. That would set up a Va Tech-USC BCS Championship game.
Now...
