But it was Ozzie himself who said he was coming "home" and would be back in Tuscaloosa. I don't think he meant just to live there. Those who are commenting here are not just speculating or wishing. It's long been known (for sure) that Ozzie Newsome wants to come back and work with The University...
What a heart-stopping game that was against Arizona! The Bama Softball Team never fails to deliver in the excitement category. Looks like the SEC will score big in the World Series this year again! RTR!
I guess they were shocked when they realized that Alabama actually made their football players get textbooks to begin with :eek2: LIVE AND LEARN....LOL.
Sure and while we're at it, let's an an elephant as the mascot....HECK NO! Our logo is great, the A is wonderful, the one on the field matches - what a coincidence! LEAVE our uniforms alone! Next thing, someone will want to do something with our alma mater or fight song.
NO NO NO
I do believe the NCAA "enforcement" division has lost a lot of their "power" or "mystique" they once had or were perceived to have had in the last ten years or since they hammered Alabama. How many programs have they actually come after since that time? They hit Indiana's basketball program...
I just want to interject that this doesn't just involve the football program, although this thread is dedicated to the football team. My understanding is there are other athletes from other teams who were involved and so we don't know if any scholarship limitations (or not) (unless there are...
I would do what he's doing in a second. It's the principle of the matter with Keller. He's got the money to fight it, it's not about the money; it's about his personal integrity. That can't be bought and he wants it back.
Unfortunately, there were other people who lost their fight with the...
My first inclination is to whine about why UCLA and all the other NCAA Div I schools can do the things they do and get away with it and we get hammered and hammered and hammered.
I read all these letters and attachments and went and read the bylaws and corresponding numbers.....it looks like...
This is juvenile stuff.....but it makes me proud to be a Crimson Tide fan - unless I find out The Red Elephant Club is secretly doing it.....that would be a shame. :eek2:
As a former USA Swim Official and a person who follows USA swimming and works the USA Jr. Nationals, etc., I can say that I have never seen Derion Thomas on deck at any of the USA meets. What this tells me is that he hasn't been fast enough to make the cuts to make those meets.
This tells me...
I'm 49 and Auburn has been irrelevant my entire life. I don't expect that to change before I die. I don't think anything Chizik does will change that. At least, it doesn't look that way. And, I expect to live a LONG TIME.
All I'm concerned with is Alabama's sports programs and the...
One of our biggest problems last year was DEPTH. Or lack thereof. With this year and this recruiting class, our depth should be better and that should help some. No football team is ever perfect, the biggest question mark in my mind is the QB. Our offensive scheme will be built around this...
There are depositions full of testimony and statements given to this topic as well as the fact that Tommy Gallion's attorney in Memphis was attacked early one morning in Memphis and now has permanent brain damage as a result (files were stolen pertaining to the NCAA case - wow, what a...
Lance Thompson was a great recruiter. One thing that helped him get his foot in the door with high school coaches in his territory was the name, The Crimson Tide and Nick Saban. Nick Saban has the respect of the high school coaches he has worked with in the past (and has maintained relationships...
Coaches always get dumped on when they leave one coaching job for another. But, Meyer left UTAH (ahem, UTAH) for Florida. I think that was a BIG LEAP for him. It wasn't like he took a lateral move in his career or anything.
Most of those posts were like "sour grapes" and old "sour grapes" at...
Personally, I'm so glad you have something to feel all warm and fuzzy over. I read the long-term weather forecast and something tells me that it's going to get REAL cold and icy on Rocky Top early in 2009. The weather man said it was forecast for September, October and early November. :eek2:
They've been running that ad since before the Iron Bowl, I know. I thought it was clever and when I first saw it, I thought they probably had an "Alabama" one as well but never saw one.
I think we should all have the ability to laugh at ourselves. This ad is funny and we all laugh about...
I see Bobo's on there for Georgia....I remember when he was ours..... oh well.
Great that we have a representative on the list. Where's Auburn, where's UT? They're "saving up" for next year!
Wonder if he's on our list, I haven't looked. If he's good, we should "pick" him or "pluck" him; that sounds better. 2010 will be all out war in recruiting.....and UT didn't sign a QB in their 2009 class? Do they even have one? Strange.
