    Academic issues force Johns to miss scrimmage

    Heard some rumblings before spring started that there would be some names that would shock us who might not be around afterward. This is shocking to say the least, and I hope Jimmy can get it in gear. Hopefully this will serve as a wakeup call to the rest of the players who might not have...

    What is up in Mobile?

    McNeil has a great visit to Bama, calls the PC off on Sunday, then on Monday his coach says that is inaccurare and he commits to AU on Tuesday. Gibson has been "considered" a Bama lean the entire time and now there are rumblings that AU could sway him???? And now today apparently Corley has...

    Why not give Norm Chow a shot?

    So true Tide-HSV. BTW, what is your opinion of this Kragthorpe from Tulsa? I like him, but would he be tough enough for the position?

    Why not give Norm Chow a shot?

    You're unfortunately probably right. And that's too bad because if they were still available, Bob Stoops, Mark Richt, and Charlie Weiss would've never made our list either. It's that stubborn, tunnel vision way of thinking that has kept us down for going on 10 years now.

    Why not give Norm Chow a shot?

    He's younger than Spurrier (60 years old). Mike Keith, the Titans radio announcer, said he would love to get back in the college game and would be deadly if given the chance. No HC experience, but everywhere he's been, that team has won. Has coached on a NC winning team. He's coached Jim...

    Start a New Tradition and Give the "Up and Comings" the Chance!

    Re: Start a New Tradition and Give the Up and Commings the Chance! I think our reputation has been drug through the mud so much in the national media, that no HC at a big school is gonna come here. With that said, we've almost been pigeon holed into hiring a HC at a non-BCS school or an...

    Rodriguez from WVA being offered (OFFICIAL RICH RODRIGUEZ THREAD)

    Pat White was injured in that game. Otherwise, they probably don't lose. If Rodriguez is hired, we'll be fine.

    Comparison: Johnson vs. Grobe

    If it gets down to these two, I REALLY hope Mal has Jimbo Fisher's number in his rolodex regardless of his previous stops. But I'd pick Grobe out of the two because there is no way Johnson's offense would work in the SEC unless he could dramatically make adaptations to it. Those who don't like...

    Saban & Spurrier Announcements

    Are the negotiations projected to be done this week or later? The reason I ask is my production has taken a serious decline this week. If we shouldn't expect any news this week, I think I'll double up on the output for these next few days instead of being in constant internet watch mode:wink:

    I'm sure glad we didnt hire Croom

    Bamarich, I respectfully disagree with you on which situation was worse at the time Shula and Croom took over their respective programs. However, even if things were at rock bottom when Croom took over, I'd expect to see some improvement in the 3rd year. Last night I saw none. I'll give you...

    I'm sure glad we didnt hire Croom

    What is this, the Sylvester Croom Apologist Society? Bad facilities or not, the situation he walked into wasn't any worse than the one Shula walked into here. This is his 3rd year there and, though it's only one game, I see little if any improvement from day one since he's been there. Heck...

    Who's the biggest surprise of early camp out of the new guys ...

    I like all the above mentioned names, but I gotta go with Big Andre. Everyone knew he would be good, but did anybody think he would be this good this quick? It took what, 3 practices, for him to take the LT job? I'm always skeptical when someone gets the praises heaped on them like Andre had...

    Fall Camp Observations

    Alabama WILL NOT be upset by Hawaii. They've lost their last 6 road openers. They gave up an avg. of 213 yds per game rushing to their WAC opponents last year. Every time they gave up over 200 yds rushing last year, they lost(0-5). This game will be close at the half and Hawaii will get...

    First AP Poll Released

    This is the most disrespected team I think I can ever recall. We are the only team to finish in the Top 10 last year and not be ranked this year. We return more starters than all of the teams from the SEC that are ranked. The media points to the fact that we lost 7 defensive starters. Ohio...
