    Question: How far are you travelling to get to the game?

    I had a job auditing Sherwin Williams stores in the mid-90's from West Texas to Arkansas and I know the feeling. My '87 bmw kept going, but I was worried on a number of occasions. We'll be on Bourbon St. on NY's Eve. Good luck.

    Question: How far are you travelling to get to the game?

    I'm just looking for the most distant Tide fan. I'm coming from London, via Houston for a total distance of 5,165 miles. I'm sure I'm not the furthest abroad. Just curious, lets hear it.......

    Question: How are Sugar Bowl ticket sales going?

    The game is a complete one way street when it comes to fans. Its a pity actually because it sort of takes the lustre off of the Sugar Bowl. When the opposition can't sell their tickets it puts all of the pressure on the other team. Luckily Bama are up to the task. And I am definately not...

    News Article: Utes not worried after studying film of 'Bama

    I think you are trying to be very respectful here and I think that is the right thing to do. So again, I say this with the utmost respect to Utah. I do not think you would go 12-0 if you had to play Clemson, Georgia, Arkansas, Tennessee, Old Miss, Auburn and Kentucky, or any other SEC teams in...

    News Article: Utes not worried after studying film of 'Bama

    I wasn't trying to play down the schedule strength of Utah. And I certainly wasn't leaving out teams on purpose to strengthen my arguement. Of course I'm biased, if I wasn't I wouldn't read the Alabama BB everyday. I guess I strongly believe that if you matched our opponent each week up with...

    News Article: Utes not worried after studying film of 'Bama

    Its really hard to figure out how good this team really are. They beat a poor Michigan, but then, UNLV, Utah State, Air Force, Weber State......etc. Now Bama. I suppose the Ute fans will say that this schedule compares well with Clemson, Georgia, Ol Miss, Tennessee, LSU, Florida, etc., but...

    Link: Reminder for those of you wanting Sugar Bowl Tickets

    I had a look at stub hub a couple of days ago and found tickets starting at $145. For $200, you could get an "okay" seat. Obviously if you need to have a word with coach saban during the game then its going to cost a lot more. It still looks like you can get tickets through the ute site, but...

    Non-BCS Teams

    It had never occurred to me to think about the promotion / relegation system in relation to college football. Depending on where you set the bar, that's a very interesting concept. The silver lining for someone like Utah this year would be that they become a "top tier" team for next year. On...

    Question: "A Day" game 2009

    That sounds pretty ambitious. Make sure you pace yourself.

    Question: Who would you want as our starter next year Star or Greg?

    i think it will be Greg, but I'd also be surprised if Star doesn't get some sort of cameo role. Saban's done that before.

    2009 Schedule per Tide Pride

    My God, me too! I want to pull an Urban Meyer on him. I lived through the prime of the "fun and gun" era (although we did pretty well with it). I cannot bring myself to feel sorry for him when someone hangs 56 points on him after what he did to some of the cannon fodder they played in his time.

    2009 Schedule per Tide Pride

    I don't want to sound negative, but I am really disappointed in our schedule. We have established ourselves as one of the top teams in the nation and we have two top 25 teams in next year's schedule. I know you can't predict where teams will be when you're putting the schedule together, but...

    Where are you?? Check in!!

    I suppose that's a pretty good reason. But I am guessing that there are far more Alabama fans that support Fulham (I know at least 2). City are a great example of what money can't buy though.

    Utah's offense

    As a fan, I take this game very seriously. I am just hoping that the players can find the motivation to prepare for this game (aka Saban in your face). I think Utah's had a great year, but I just don't think you can seriously compare their schedule strength to ours. Having said that, they'll...

    A loss that won't haunt me

    I really don't think we got any "breaks" last night, but I was so proud of the way they played that I find it hard to be disappointed. I read where the lead changed or was tied 8 times (I haven't looked at that, so I hope it is right). That in itself is a pretty good reflection of just how...

    Where are you?? Check in!!

    Why City? Banjani looked good, but aside from that, they were pretty pointless. FFC looked good. Dempsey had a great 1st half, should have scored once, mabe twice. Bullard scored a cracker and put two free kicks on frame.

    Question: Europe Viewers - SECCG

    Does anyone know if NASN is delaying the game? It is listed as a 9:30GMT start. Everywhere else seem to show that it is 4:00EST (9:00GMT). Anyone know?
