    The time has come!-pick the score-bama-texas! And give reasons!-NO smack with rivals

    People much more well-versed in the game of football than I can speak of our advantages on the respective lines of scrimmage, or the fact that we've proven that we can move the ball against the best defenses in the country via either the run or the pass on our terms, or that we've taken apart...

    Meyer deciding NOT TO resign but leave of absence per ESPN.

    I certainly hope not, not only because she's his wife, but also because she might be able to help him (if he'll listen, of course). Her background is in nursing and psychiatry. From USA Today

    Meyer deciding NOT TO resign but leave of absence per ESPN.

    Okay, I realize that I'm not getting my point across well. Let me try again: The point wasn't specifically the timeframe (although I maintain my previous comment that they're close enough), or that the two situations were exactly alike in their background circumstances. The point was that in...

    Meyer deciding NOT TO resign but leave of absence per ESPN.

    Do you honestly believe that Saban only made that decision on January 3?

    Meyer deciding NOT TO resign but leave of absence per ESPN.

    December 21, 2006: Nick Saban says to the media, "I'm not going to be the Alabama coach." January 4, 2007: Nick Saban is officially introduced as the Alabama coach. We're pretty happy that it turned out that way, right? Sometimes you change your mind after you say one thing. We may have our...

    Urban Meyer Stepping Down (MERGED THREADS)

    Sorry, but I'm not buying that. Look: I know that everyone likes to think that Florida is Tim Tebow and the 84 other guys, but the fact of the matter is that Florida still has loads of talent on both sides of the ball, even if the big-name juniors on the team leave. Or to put it another way...

    Urban Meyer Stepping Down (MERGED THREADS)

    Wow. Florida, as I've said before, is my second team, and where I did grad work. This one hits pretty hard. The first thing that I thought of was when I heard this was the events after the SECCG. I'm glad that he's made this decision; even with the timing, UF isn't as important as his family...

    Games I wish had been played

    If you had the ability to go back in time and schedule Alabama games in any year (our team from that year against any opponent we didn't play), what games would you pick? I think that the first situation that I'd change would be to play the Iron Bowls from 1908-1947. I'd like for that series...

    Question: If the Big 10 expands how would it affect the SEC?

    If I ran the zoo, and assuming that any school I chose would willingly come, I'd pick Georgia Tech. They were a charter SEC school. Geographically, the fit is obvious, and personally, I don't think that the SEC really needs to expand its borders. Academically, it increases the prestige of...

    Heisman presentation: Mark Ingram wins the Heisman Trophy!!!

    Would anyone have thought at the beginning of the year, losing two All-Americans (including the Outland winner) on the OL, that we would have a Heisman-winning running back this year? Congratulations to Mark Ingram...and a huge thumbs up to the OL!

    Question: Who is your 2nd favorite SEC team??

    Mine's Florida...went to grad school there, and my wife is a Gator. So essentially, so far this is the perfect season for me. Alabama wins the West and is 12-0; Florida wins the East and is 12-0; Bama beats Florida in the SEC Championship Game. :biggrin2: Two BCS bowl game wins away from the...

    Game Thread: ***Texas vs. Huskers***

    A couple of observations: Suh deserves every bit of hardware he gets this season. If Mark Ingram wins the Heisman, he needs to thank the Blackshirts in his acceptance speech. There are games where four point leads feel like forty. This feels like one of those games. In their past couple of...

    How Should the National Championship Be Decided

    I know that my idea isn't particularly feasible, but the title of the thread asked how I thought it should be decided. :) In 1966, an Alabama team that was the only one in the nation to achieve perfection was let down by the system. In 1977, an Alabama team that only lost once (along with six...

    How Should the National Championship Be Decided

    I came up with this idea back in 2006. It's a pretty big leap from what we have now, but I still like the concept.

    Introduction

    I can't think of a better time to exit lurk mode after almost eight years. I have great respect for the people who run this site and provide such a great forum for all things Crimson Tide. This site has been a daily read for me for many years, and I look forward to being a more active member...
