Russellville High School 1995-1997. Undefeated through junior high and as 9th graders we were part of a 12-2 team that lost in the state semi-finals. 10th grade we were #1 in the state and got beat in the first round of the playoffs. During our 11 and 12 grade years we lost a ton of close games...

He quit UAB and moved to UNA where he sat out his freshman year as a redshirt. Between last season and this year he quit again. I don't think he had the work ethic to make it. Russellville has a junior QB this season who has led the team to the state finals again and will probably break all of...

Coach Bryant's last title team. 1979.

1999 in the Swamp...... Alabama 40 Florida 39

I think that it would look good to have murals painted on the concrete walls behind the endzones. Something like that is on many major league baseball outfields. It could be like the one in the new weight room. Also, I would like to see the metal structure that can be seen from outside the...

Last year's Oklahoma ranks up there with the 1999 MSU game when we won the West. Also parts of the 1999 UT game were loud, buut we ended up losing. The 2002 game at Fayetteville was extremely loud until Shaud busted through the middle for 80 yards on the game's first play. No more pig sooie...

I agree totally. I am sure that he is everything that people says he is, but why should we want him to be successful at another SEC West school. That's like saying , "Boy, I sure hope Houston Nutt or David Cutcliffe wins 'em all except when they play us." I pull for Alabama. Not anyone else...

I totally agree about the 1999 Vandy game and the heat. It was awful. Though most of the 2000 season was hard to watch, So. Miss, MSU and Auburn were the worst. After a couple of sub-par games, the So. Miss game was when w knew it was all over for the year. We couldn't move the ball at all...

Born and raised in Russellville, AL (up by Muscle Shoals and Florence for those who do not know). Lived here all my life except for the tremendous 4 years I spent at the Capstone. Man, I would love to be back down there. :biga2:

1979--Coach Bryant's last. :biga2:

The story on al.com about Coach Gryska is a good one. He deserves any respect that is shown to him. I worked at the museum from 99-02 while I was a student at The University and got to know Coach Gryska really well. He tells some of the most incredible stories that you never really get to hear...

My favorites would have to be the following: 1.) 1999 at the Swamp--Shaun Alexander permanently cemented himself as a legend with the 4th quarter and OT 2.)SEC Championship--Half empty Georgia Dome once all the blue walked out early in the 4th quarter 3.)All road games in 2002--Although we lost...

Since I have not been able to get down to Title-Town in several months, I was wondering if anyone has seen the new painted scoreboard and what it looks like. I am sure that it will look great if they use the logo that is hanging in the new weight facilities. Any info. on how it looks will be...

:biga: Roll Tide everyone. I have been reading this board daily since 1999 and finally decided that I wanted to take part, not just read. I was fortunate enough to attend UA from 1999-2002 and privileged enough to work with some people well-respected and informed in University circles so I hope...
