I think hiring Spurrier would be a mistake for Florida. It's hard to capture that 'lightning in a bottle' the 2nd time around, and things usually don't work out as well the second time around the barn. I hope the Gators do hire Spurrier because I think it would be their 2nd straight coaching...

TiderInVa........................... I doubt you would find a better candidate out there to be the next Bama AD than Johnny Williams. He is a VERY well respected AD, and a lot of schools are looking at the blueprint that Troy has done to get where they are this fast. If you think about where...

Bigbam............................. Well, I'm certainly glad you are not in charge of picking the plan. Speaking for myself, and I feel comfortable that the vast majority of Bama fans agree with me....but the look of Bryant-Denny is very important to me, as well as a degree of comfort. I take...

Bigbam........................... Frankily B-D will probably never hold 100,000+ people, but we'll have as many as we need. And that is fine with me. I hope we never sacrafice the look of our stadium in order to shoehorn as many people in there as possible. No way I want to be like UT. You ever...

LoudBamaFan..................... I think you are looking at this in a very narrow way. In this day and age, BIG TIME college football is about making money. When the original plan was announced the 10,000 figure was thrown out there. At that time 20 skyboxes and maybe 1,000 club seats were on...

jwade11.............. I think most Bama fans would like to see Ozzie become the Bama AD, but we don't always get what we want. I think a lot of people ASSUME that Ozzie might be our next AD, but it's never been anything that was inevitable. Ozzie has a great job, and from what I...

I noticed in the Tuscaloosa News today that Johnny Williams ( AD at Troy State ) is one of the leading candidates for that new position at Bama. That sent up a red flag for me. Williams has been not a FANTASTIC job as the AD at Troy, and has brought them further than I ever thought possible this...

LoudBamaFan......................... No, they haven't scaled it back. In fact, the expansion is going to be more expensive than first thought. Originally the cost was estimated to be around $40 million. Now it is closer to $50 million. What happened was, the original plans were to put in around...

LoudBamaFan.......................... The expansion won't add 10,000 people. More like 6,500 from what I've heard. THey are going to add 37 skyboxes and some club seating which will help to cut down on the total number of seats that can be added. As far as it connecting to the east and west...

And look at the renderings of Bryant-Denny there. You can't really tell a lot about how the expansion will look from the inside, but the outside looks great. I spoke with a friend of mine who is a professor at Bama, who has spoken with Thad Turnipseed regarding the expansion. The big question...

Hey, I'm nervous any time we take the field now. We are playing a backup QB and are now down one RB, and we don't have a lot of depth to begin with. We can't take ANY game for granted.

SMU Law Ag...... Regarding Fran....Speaking for myself, it's not the fact that he LEFT that is a sore spot for me. I could deal with him leaving. It's the WAY he left that really irritated a lot of people. Fran told anybody who would listen that he was NOT interested in other jobs. He told...

Or the first man who ever drunk a glass of milk. Can you imagine the thought process that went into that? It's like...."I'm going to squeeze those things hanging down on that cow, and drink what comes out of it"

CMS is by his nature a reserved person. Some people are. Not everyone is like Jim Leavitt or Lou Holtz with their animation. CMS is a good bit like Mark Richt, and doesn't wear his emotions on his sleeve. Nothing wrong with that, thats just the kind of person he is. :BigA:

New member here. Been reading the baord for a while, and decided to join up. I look foward to talking some Bama football with you. Roll Tide :biga2:
