He's a little like Alabama's version of Rudy.

The previous two seasons Geddes was a scout team defensive back and had to cover Cooper in practice.

"There's plenty of film out there of him making me look just awful," Geddes said, but added that seeing Cooper do similar things to opponents first-team defensive backs "makes me feel a lot better."

Great story. I hope he gets a chance at some game time.

You seek a great fortune, you three who are now in chains. You will find a fortune, though it will not be the one you seek. But first... first you must travel a long and difficult road, a road fraught with peril. Mm-hmm. You shall see thangs, wonderful to tell. You shall see a... a cow... on the roof of a cotton house, ha. And, oh, so many startlements. I cannot tell you how long this road shall be, but fear not the obstacles in your path, for fate has vouchsafed your reward. Though the road may wind, yea, your hearts grow weary, still shall ye follow them, even unto your salvation.

First thing I thought of when reading this. Often, the journey is better than the destination and the best treasures are the ones you weren't looking for. Kudos to a young man who didn't give up and doesn't take himself too seriously. He'll be telling stories for a lifetime.

I hope so too. Maybe someone on the staff can see this article and let him in on one snap. What a dream that would be for him.

Loved it! He'll do well in life.

That's what college football's all about right there, and why I love it. Passion for the game. Love of the team. Hard work, sacrifice and selflessness. Teamwork and humility. He deserves a play or two if game circumstances are such that we can give it to him.

Great story indeed!

Plus I - and I suspect many others - will remain indebted to him for having had been the one to film Christion Jones' classic imitation of Ray Charles on Coach Saban's 62nd b'day...

Great job, Daniel. You are a true part of the Tide legacy! You will be a leader because of it.

Blake Sims is Bama's Rudy.

Thanks for the post. I enjoyed reading it. That's what I would have loved to do when Coach Bryant was at the Capstone.
