    Bama Game Thread: [Part II] Official PostGame Thread Bama vs. AU...

    Four time outs are allowed by SEC https://www.al.com/alabamafootball/2019/12/fair-points-sec-clarifies-iron-bowl-confusion.html The SEC officials were correct, of course. You actually are allowed four timeouts. Pay no attention to the running clock thing.

    The cart ride & the Angel of Mercy

    Daniel Moore probably won't paint that, but maybe he should, as a tribute to a fallen warrior. All the elements are there. The look on Tua's face as he looks down at his left hand is heartbreaking. It's framed by his iconic crimson helmet and the words Alabama and Crimson Tide on the clothes of...

    Alabama, Future Scheduling Thread

    So you agree it's not "home and home", huh?

    Neutral perspective? On Tidefans.com? Okay, I hope both teams just have fun.

    Alabama, Future Scheduling Thread

    Repeat after me: home and away ... home and away. You see, two games in Tuscaloosa would be "home and home", because it actually is all about us. We used to do that with the Southern Misses of the world. So the USF series would be home-away-home, not home and home and home! I don't care what the...

    News Article: Alabama Hires Nate Oats From Buffalo

    Re: Alabama Set to Hire Nate Oats From Buffalo Who's C.M. Newton? From Transylvania? Are you kidding me? That'll never work.

    Bama Players in the Transfer Portal (UPDATE: Petty & Kira Returning!!)

    Re: Kira Lewis in the transfer portal I would think he would turn pro after next season. I don't understand sitting out a year somewhere else, to then play the next year, and then go pro. Unless he would still be too young. I don't know the rule.

    Maria Taylor's response to Coach Saban on the Paul Finebaum show

    Maria Taylor just provided a textbook example of how to do it right. She remained professional and composed in the moment, laid low and let everybody else froth at the mouth, meanwhile raking in tons of publicity, and then took the high road and graciously extended an olive branch if not an...

    Coach C M Newton has passed away

    Having now read the full article in Tuscaloosa News, I deeply regret never having had the chance to personally thank Coach Newton for everything he did for my university. That he chose to live in Tuscaloosa after all these years, when he pretty much could have lived anywhere, says a lot. In the...

    Coach C M Newton has passed away

    When I was in 6th grade, the new basketball coach, C.M. Newton, came to our school to give a short clinic. He got us boys out on the playground, broke us up into teams, and we played a game with him coaching and reffing. I was so nervous I couldn't see straight but somehow remember throwing up...

    Lane Kiffin article - settling in at FAU

    A coach from Baylor ... head coach out drinking with coeds ... waterfront mansion in south Florida ... gee, what could possibly go wrong?

    Lane Kiffin article - settling in at FAU

    This article gives me even more appreciation for Coach Saban - how he managed this guy. http://floridapolitics.com/archives/231808-fau-puts-money-priorities-part-2

    Question: Which starters have been lost to injuries this season (Watch the teasers)

    Re: First teamers out for season? It appears that about 6 Clemson players are "out," but don't know whether or how much any of them contribute. Technically, Blake Barnett was a starter, so I guess you could count him, too - bruised ego. WR Trevion Thompson Wrist out for season WR...

    Question: Which starters have been lost to injuries this season (Watch the teasers)

    Comparing starters lost for season: I know we lost Eddie Jackson and Shaun Dion Hamilton on defense. If others, please advise. How many starters has Clemson lost - or at least, are out for this game?

    Question: What is the Greatest Moment in Alabama Men's Basketball History?

    One of Coach Newton's early teams made it to the NIT, which was an accomplishment in those days as the NCAA field was 16, I believe. We drew the Manhattan Jaspers - in Madison Square Garden. A forward named Glenn Garrett hit a very long jumper at the buzzer (no 3-point line) and we won by one...
