^^^^^ This.

Yep. If it's not raining, then I'm umpiring baseball this time of year. :cool:

Barring rain, this will be the first season since the Gene Lambert days that I won't attend a single home basketball game. My Dad would roll over in his grave.

In addition to putting a quality product on the court, Wimp allowed the Sports Info Dept to "market" him personally. Even the non-conference games drew well due to Wimp's personality.

Re expectations for our basketball program: Alabama is second only to Kentucky in winning percentage for regular season SEC games. Our expectations have been high for a long period of time. And they should be.

It's hard to have a consistent (or creative) offense without shooters, which goes to recruiting. Think of how many games we would have won over the past three years with just one or two more outside baskets per half. I love the way CAG coaches the defense, but he has very limited concept of...

Re: And so it begins: Auburn fans blaming lost on referees. Then you don't want more refs.

Makes no sense whatsoever to spend $30 million trying to upgrade the Joe in it's current location. Move it somewhere on the Partlow property & make it a real park. The current location could then be used for much-needed parking or other football/basketball/gymnastics expansion.

In 25+ years of officiating multiple sports, I've never had as good a time as I did this past weekend (PCA vs MCS, 2A). Not only was the baseball very competitive (2-1, 2-0, 4-2), the sportsmanship shown by both of the teams and their coaching staffs was outstanding in every way.

Other than the guest segments, he lost me a few years ago when the show became "Jim Rome Lite". I'd like to see him cut back to two hours -- 4 PM to 6 PM.

That was my first thought, as well. I hope Bisher is rolling over in his grave.

Keith Jackson and Frank Broyles. Yankee-Americans had to have a translator. "Whoa, Nellie!"

I feel like it will be Muffburger & Herbie.

This. Actually, I'd take any combination of Nessler/McDonough and Danielson/Herbie/Blackledge. Too bad Ron Franklin messed in his nest.

OK, I'm older than many on this board, so I'm biased toward Coach Bryant. I can say one thing with certainty: Coach Saban had MUCH more to work with when he came to Alabama than Coach Bryant did. That said, I believe Coach Saban to be every bit as good a coach of football as Coach Bryant was...
