If he's one and done, why not a Final Four?!

I think you're wrong, Chris. Bama played hard, though poorly, early in the game... but they kept it manageable. And I was very encouraged by the final 6 or 7 minutes, thought they played the best I've seen them play this year. Of course, hitting a few shots sure helps. Other nights they...

A small footnote, I was living in Indianapolis at the time and feeling pretty disappointed after that game I went down to Crazy Al's, my favorite local watering hole. Of course, being Indiana, almost everyone was a Hoosier fan and they all knew I was a big Tide fan. When I walked in, everyone...

Almost totally from memory, so forgive any misrememberings. The first Alabama team I saw play live was Johnny Dee's 'Rocket 8' in 1955-56, their inter-squad game at Boutwell Auditorium in Birmingham. With Jerry Harper, George Linn, Leon Marlaire and Jack Kubiszyn among others --...

Sow's Ear Watching the St. Louis game now and this is the sorriest I've seen the Tide play since David Hobbs' and Anthony Grant's worst. Taylor and Hale need to be given an early graduation so that the other players don't catch whatever it is they have. And how do you recruit all these...

Team played like a mid-level mid major tonight. I was disappointed.

Thanks guys. Appreciate the info

Actually, we're in their house.

He is such a talent. I loved to watch him play.

Retin is plenty good enough, if he wants to do that. Chance of making good money, but it's a rough row to hoe. Really hard work. Wish him the best, would love to keep seeing him play. Say, whatever became of Trevor Releford... (seems he's playing in Greece. Imagine, playing basketball in Greece...

I was racking my brain, trying to figure why they were giving Kentucky such biased calls. I mean, Kentucky is almost certain to win, they're in the tourney, what's the reason for such blatantly bad calls? Finally figured it out, TV Ratings! In the pre-game lovefess for Kentuck, they went to one...

Terrific analysis, Chris. Thanks. Every point, every play, every cheer counted. Roll Tide!

Has there been any news about Hale and Kessens? With them I believe the Tide "could" make a run, but without them both even the NIT looks problematic.
