    QB commit Barnes' HS playing on TV tonight..

    Didn't see this on the first page of Tidefans, and wanted to let anyone interested know that our newest QB commitment Barnes is playing for Los Alamitos (sp?) on cable tonight (early tomorrow am, actually). I saw it while scrolling, and have it earmarked for recording. It airs at 1:00 am...

    TIDE legwear and cleats?

    I like the idea of white cleats and socks when we play away games. Somehow, the black shoes look a little less appealing without the Crimson jersey. I would like to see black on black for home and white on white away. Anyone unemployed/self-employed have time to photoshop these scenarios...

    If Shula has losing season, will Bamanation stay on Shula's wagon?

    Back to the original question... If Alabama has a losing season, it depends on HOW they lose... If losses are due to injuries and depth, coach Shula can't be blamed. If losses are due to boneheaded coaching, or lack of player fundamentals, you can bet your hindside Coach _______ will be held...

    Tradition of Excellence

    Lots of gamedays I wake up early from excitement, and can't go back to sleep. I bolt upright, grab the keys to the truck, hook up the bassboat, and head to Lake Jordan or the Alabama River and spend some quality time with the Creator in his Creation...flyfishing for bass and bream along some...

    Warning to Tide Fans in B'ham area

    I make my own shirts with a pack of Haynes 'wife-beaters' and a big can of "maroon" paint. Stencil is made from old 12-pack boxes taped together. BamaFever buys these from me, and they are cheaper than the Nike ones....maybe this helps?

    which RB gets the most all-purpose???

    Castille will break rushing records at Alabama, but only in due time. I know the coaches say they want to "put the best players on the field", but seniority will dictate carries, and thus...yards. I do; however, believe that the O-Line takes it up a notch when certain guys carry the ball, and...

    This just in....

    A revolution begins inside each person's heart, and unless the Iraqi people embrace democracy and freedom and FIGHT AND DIE FOR IT THEMSELVES, America will eventually be spinning its wheels trying to keep the economy (oil) flowing with waning support abroad.. This turnover ought to be interesting.

    What would it take to make this season a good one for you?

    TommyMac is right. If the coaches aren't able to coach fundamentally sound COLLEGE football to these young men, then it doesn't matter if the line-up is four deep with All-Americans. The post-season ban is over, and that alone will take some of the poor play off the field.

    With all the throwback talk here's a flashback!

    Awesome link. Thanks. Those were some great times for Alabama. The rules are different, but the game is the same. You had to work harder than the other guy to win then, and the same is true now. Money is a bigger part of the equation, but that doesn't change the fact that the game is won on the...

    What is the problem with white helmets?

    White helmets look cheap, nowadays. Back in the day, paint was probably too expensive. Unless of course, Alabama wore them for a throwback game. Then, they would look brilliant and perfect. Currently, IMO..Nebraska wears the white helmet the best. If Alabama is playing sound fundamental...

    Get ready for the snakes to come crawling out!

    And you can already get a "Ronald Reagan Commemorative Coin" if you call now....while supplies last. Through my mild shock, I watched while the shameless peddling of memorabilia has already begun on TV. "Just $29.95 (plus shipping and handling of course), reduced from $49.95, while supplies...

    division IAA schools?

    GO TROJANS!!! CASH THOSE CHECKS!!! there will come a day when Troy is no longer capable of talking the "big boys" into playing them. And please try not to put UAB and Troy into the same football basket. Troy has football history albeit in lesser divisions. UAB has no tradition or history in...

    Report: New BCS format approved

    Scenario: The two only undefeated teams remaining will end up in a bowl one year (one of the four established BCS bowls), and then after one of them loses, the winner (what would now be considered the "Champion") would have to then go on to play a team that has a loss (an inferior team) only to...

    Hope Scholarship

    The lottery isn't designed to make smarter or happier kids...that's CRRAP. The lottery is a way of fooling the unsuspecting (nice word for IGNERNT) public into further putting the woes and neglects of public schools on the shoulders of the government....the one place that a truly totalitarian...
