I hope the Tony Brown embarrassment doesn't give him or his parents pause. Player development, both on the field and off, are our MO in recruiting and this arrest is a huge kick in the gut to that selling point.

The most important shift in perspective, scheme or strategy has to come first from the SEC and that is--referees have to take back control of the game. The HUNH, for some reason, has these officials running like mad to get the ball spotted and ready for play. Then they blow the whistle and try...

The decision to kick a field goal at the end wasn't the worst call. It was the combination of horrid decision after horrid decision leading up to trotting a freshman out for a 56 yarder that baffled me. Because I revere the man i can fool myself into thinking that most were justifiable. I'll...

Re: *** 2013 LB Reuben Foster Commits to Bama *** Whether he craves attention, is immature or is easily influenced by some Trooper hocus pocus is all kind of besides the point. What is the point is that a kid with a ton of promise made a choice that is hard to justify. Sure he might start day...

Re: DT Eddie Goldman Updates Yes we are. Saban and Kirby are visiting him tonight. I was just joking about how crazy the last few weeks of recruiting are. All the talk about "he's a heavy Bama lean, but he likes FSU" for the last several months to "looks like he is headed to FSU" a few...

Re: DT Eddie Goldman Updates I think we are no longer, not recruiting him. I love the last two weeks of recruiting.

Re: 'Bama RB Commitment Justin Taylor Will Greyshirt... or not? Hilarious that a situation where a kid (who got hurt) gets screwed over, intentionally or not, yet folks can't help but getting so worried for Saban. Any critique of CNS on this board is met with absurd overreaction. Exaggerated...

It seems critical thinking is frowned upon. And thank you TIDE HSV for your remarks. Hilarious that being a bit disappointed in an aspect of our football team (ie. offensive) means I have a miserable life. A bit presumptious. And I mean this in good spirits, but you sound kinda pompous. What...

Great for Coach McElwain. He did a very good job for us, especially with developing tough and disciplined offensive players. It doesn't matter who the next OC is. He will be given the same playbook and work under the philosophy of CNS. Our offense will be the exact same next year as it was...

Re: A prediction on Darius Philon, I saw that kid play and he is ENORMOUS. Definitely looks the part. Hard to evaluate when he his going up against 5 ft 7, 160 lb DE and LB. Probably needs to lose some baby fat and work a ton on footwork and technique. Just like most high school lineman...

He really has come a long way but there is no way he would even be considered as a DC for this team next year.

Vigor is the most undisciplined team I have ever seen in a state championship final. They should have lined up in the I formation and run all over Hartselle. Those kids where tiny compared to Vigor. Vigor's QB simply cannot throw a football yet they threw it all night. And as soon as they...

Re: Thoughts on UAB Coaching Search If UAB had any sense they would immediately do what all teams do that are staked against the odds and switch to the Triple Option. If they want increase fan interest what other state in the world inherently loves watching triple option football as much as...

I don't think this point could have been made any more clear after watching yesterday's game. The offensive game plan was the we had to be successful throwing the ball, we committed to it, practiced it and even created a couple of new wrinkles. McElwain and CNS finally put our passing offense...

For someone who has been as critical of the conservative, predictable and inefficiency of our offense for the last several years, let me be the first one on the soap box for both CNS and Coach McElwain. Really glad that CNS let our offense take some chances. But more than anything WAY TO GO...
