With all these reports coming out of offseason practices you can't help but get pumped up about the 2004 season. From the things I've read and heard we've made leaps and bounds of progress. It can just about make you think we actually have a shot of going undefeated and winning the NC....which...

I've noticed the same thing myself. He's not throwing a scholarship at every qb with a big arm. I think you're also right in that Shula has been around NFL quality qb's for 15 yrs and probably knows true talent and potential when he sees it. He probably has the ability to go beyond the physical...

I'm not sure if many know on this board but Brett Favre is my favorite football player of all time. I've followed him ever since he beat us back in his days at USM. My dad and I were watching that game and after that game I remember my dad saying that kid is something special. I don't think he...

Thanks for the information. I'll probably go ahead and get the entire package because my grandfather will be visiting us over here in Shreveport during football season and he's a Miss. St. Alum. So, when he comes I want him to be able to watch state play because over here in shreveport they're...

Man, talk about sucking the dang fun out of something. :rolleye2: If you don't want to get involved in any "hype" then don't. But for other people it is fun to let their imaginations run a little wild. Its exciting for fans to hear about a new recruit from out west that MIGHT be the next...

You're exactly right. They are BOTH wrong.The only way to stop this nonsense is for coaches to stop rationalizing "giving second chances" on issues that don't deserve "second chances"...........UH Bobby Bowden and Fla. State. But you can forget that happenning. You can just about rationalize...

Shula's already 2/3's of the way there. He's proved he can recruit. He's proved he can prepare a team via practice. Now the last and most important hurdle to ensure that Bama really gets rolling back on the right track is "win some football games." That will be the proof in the puddin' so to...

Being able to have more self control is something we all need in areas of our lives. But at the same time we have to realize we're dealing with 18-21 yr old's. It is not the best stage in life in which the average person makes their best decisions. The majoriy of this country doesn't have...

Football is a violent sport, and is not for the soft or moderate spirit. I want guys on my team who play with an attitude (not an attitude problem) and yes, a little bit of swagger or cockiness. With that comes flair ups of tempers and the occasional fight. Like so many have said, "it is the...

I just spoke to a representative from Direct TV this morning at 9:15 am and I got the same response the previous two times I called and that was no pricing is available at this time nor are the schedule of games. But you can still purchase now. :confused: Is Direct TV the same as "Dish...

The media will print anything to get somebody to read. Here in Shreveport our local paper printed an article about Saban saying that since many of his starters showed up out of shape and didn't pass the team conditioning physical that they were no longer the starters. But if you actually read...

I've never used Gameplan before but since my dad and I arent' going to be able to make a game this year we decided to use the money that it would of cost us to make the trip to Tuscaloosa from Shreveport and get gameplan that way we could watch the Utah St. game, Western Kentucky and Southern...

This is getting quite frustrating. My dad and I have decided to get espn college game plan for this season. He's got a dish with Direct TV. We went to their website to get the price of the 2004 gameplan package and for two weeks it's been "pricing not yet available". So we decide to call them...

"Tradition" can be a good thing but at the same time can be a bad thing. I was talking to a fellow Bama fan about the upcoming season and how excited I was about where Shula is taking our program. I told him how I liked how Shula was trying to balance out the offense and put a more dynamic...
