re: Who are some of Your FAV. Bama Players
Who ARE my favorite Bama Players?
Paul William Bryant Terry Davis (He began my golden era of Alabama Football!) Johnny Musso Derrick Thomas (class) Joe Willie Namath (wow, and I still say wow in 2009!) Cornelius Bennett Jay Barker (nothing but a winner!) George Teague (play it again, and again, and again....you know what I'm talking about!) Sean Alexander (I believe you were more of the real coach during your years at UA than the actual coaches hired! Thank you for your maturity and leadership!) the Hannahs Dwight Stevenson (If CPB said he was the best, then he was the best!) Van Tiffen (Thank you for the best win ever!) Greg Richardson (for catching Shula's pass and running out of bounds with the awb players all over him! Some things are NEVER forgotten! '85)

re: Who are some of Your FAV. Bama Players
Fifty years of being an avid Bama fan my list would be very, very long.

Re: Who are some of Your FAV. Bama Players
George Teague remains my favorite player. In fact, there were a lot of players from that 92 team that are still among my favorites Langham (even with the mistakes he made), Palmer, Lassic, Barker, the list goes on. It was my first and only time seeing the Tide win it all.
Prothro is up there as well. I was really sad at how his career ended but he was a damn good receiver and a class guy. |

Re: Who are some of Your FAV. Bama Players
I've only just recently been this crazy about bama football... It was Shula's Last season.
DJ Hall Tyrone Prothro Julio Jones (I've idolized Julio since he was a Jr at Foley and us Davidson Warriors played Foley, and our star corner, Travis Means, and Highly touted Safety, Michael McNeil, were getting torched every single down!) Andre Smith Simeon Castille Terrance Cody Rashad Johnson Rolondo McClain My list is small and embarassing

Re: Who are some of Your FAV. Bama Players
I was born a huge Bama fan in 1981...
So naturally, when I was old enough to really understand what was going on...my favorite player was Lamonde Russell...#81. He is still my favorite player to this very day. Other players I have loved throughout my life are: Tyrone Prothro George Teague Antonio Langham David Palmer Gary Hollingsworth Jay Barker Shaun Alexander Shaud Williams Simeon Castille (earlier in his career) Rashad Johnson And now... Julio Jones Mark Ingram Terrence Cody Rolando McClain (or is it Orlando McCain?) And the list goes on...

Re: Who are some of Your FAV. Bama Players
Been a fan for as long as I can remember (which is long!) Thus, I'm with Bayou--my list would start with the 61 team (was alive then, but don't really remember watching...just for reading/hearing about them) move to most of the 64 & 66 teams and come forward adding several per year. So I'll just read other posts here & remember.

Well, I'm 27, so I can't go back too far:
Shaun Alexander Deuce Demeco Ryans Chris Samuels Tyler Watts George Teague Jay Barker Shaud Williams Roman Harper Tim Castille Tyrone Prothro Terrance Cody - he's awesome and we share the same last name (no relation).  that's all I can think of right now... |

Re: Who are some of Your FAV. Bama Players
I'm about to enter my 62nd year as a Bama fan, needless to say, there are too many to even attempt to list. I'll just list the guy who first attracted me to Alabama football........Harry Gilmer. I only got to see him a few times in the Saturday newsreels at the Brookley theater in Mobile, but I had just learned to read and I used to devour the sports pages of the newspaper with my Dad. Harry Gilmer with his jump passes dang near had rock star status back then. I'd love to know just how many kids he swung to Alabama back then.
Best thing is, he's still alive and lives somewhere in Missouri. Looks to be in good shape too.

Re: Who are some of Your FAV. Bama Players
Shaun Alexander (maybe he should get into coaching)
Bobby Humphrey (never seemed to go down after the first hit) Shaud Williams (knew him while a student, lots of heart) Jarret Johnson Biscuit (Cornelius Bennett to the uninitiated) Terrance Cody I could go on, but will stop here. |
