Obviously, the ultimate goal of any game is to win, but against a Utah State-esque opponent, some wins can definitely be more "productive" than others. So what are your goals for the Tide today? What would you like to see? I'm hoping for: O-Line Production: No sacks allowed, 5+ YPC for our...

Very loud all game long, though a notch below the UF game as far as sustained noise goes. However, after the FG, and the final UT drive, it was louder than it ever was against UF- louder than any other time in BDS history, I'd bet. Also, the capacity crowd was on its feet the entire time that...

The scary (for the rest of the SEC) is that this really ins't even Shula's 3rd year, considering the amount of time he had to get ready for the 2003 season. He's somewhere in-between year 2 and year 3. Shula actually looks like he's ahead of the curve :)

As others have mentioned, I'd head downtown after the game, especially as it gets later on in the night. Wilhagan's is probably my favorite after-game hangout. They've got good food, usually some decent beer specials (and a good selection) lots of TVs for watching other games, and plenty of...

Thank goodness. I've got enough to get there, but not enough to get back to Meridian if I can't fill up in Tuscaloosa.

City Cafe for sure if you're there during the week, because as many have said, they aren't open on weekends (and they close at either 3:00 or 4:00, so go for breakfast or lunch). $5.34 for a meat, 4 veggies, and all the sweet tea you can drink... can't be beat. Tuesday is the best day because...

On the one hand, Spence always showed heart, and I'm glad he's doing the one thing that he could do to help the team in freeing up a scholarship (I assume we can give his to a walkon?) However, reading the articles about his injuries angers me somewhat. Playing half a game with no vision in...

UAB is a good choice for anything related to the medical field, plus some of the pure sciences. I believe they have a pretty good EE program, but don't know much about any of their other engineering majors. Alabama, on the other hand, has a great business school, a good fine arts program, and...

I wasn't trying to disagree with you, I was just trying to put my $.02 in as well. Sorry if I seemed defensive. Anways, I would seriously like to know which QBs they don't regard as leaders, and why (as well as why they regard Spence as one). But if that info was told to you in confidence and...

How does the team view the rest of the QBs? I didn't say QBs are automatic leaders, I just said that often times that is the position where players naturally look, since every play starts in his hands. They don't refer to the position as the "field general" for nothing. What good is it...

Alot of players naturally just look to the position of QB, not who is playing it, as a leader, since by default he's the only player (well, other than the C I guess) that touches the ball every play. IMO, it's not a talent thing at all. Spence, while obviously not the most talented Bama QB in...

Awesome post. I agreed with every single thing except the part where you called Spencer Pennington "a leader".

Van Tiffiny. "Tiff" for short.

Tough call, but I went with Caddell. The trio of recievers - Brown, Caddell, and Prothro are going to be sooooo dangerous, because they each bring a different type of threat to the field. Brown is everything you want in a deep threat. Such speed and hands. He ALWAYS has a step on his man...

Do you seriously think that they could do a worse job at QB that a less-than-100% Spencer Pennington? Or did I just misread your statement and you're saying that the only way Shula would put them in is late in the 4th in a blowout game?
