I sincerely hope we have a season without suspensions and the off court nonsense. 40 yds from Coleman folks have shown if you buy into the team concept there WILL be big time successes. Although the roster is tiny compared to a football team I almost think the Team concept is tougher to instill...

I think in 87 the anti GT feelings were probably still very strong stemming from the 1960's. Although CPB and Dodd "made up" and renewed their friendship and even renewed the football series with games in the early 80's, I'm sure some folks didn't like CBC because of that. I was a freshman at...

Great read as always. I know it's easy to write, but I just wish we could get a lights out shooter that teams would have to respect so we wouldn't have to work so hard for just inside pts. and struggle to reach 55-58 pts a game. Just avg. 65-68 pts a game (taking out those 3-4 layup games where...

My feelings on Bill are mixed to this day- some great memories and also Memphis State 1987- BUT, he did put CPB's tower back up where it belongs after rescuing it from the scrap yard so he can't be all bad.

As usual Brother Earle is the smartest man in the room on this one. His lack of leadership (which he was so often lauded for and even named SI Sportsman of the year) directly led to many more incidents after the initial uncovering of this monster. Add to that the pimping out of young boys to...

Good read on ESPN site from Nascar writer Ed Hinton and his mentor Furman. Goes into good detail about Bisher's hate for CPB and UA. I'm sure he had a lot of good points and probably treated many folks very well. But you mess with The Coach I got no use for you.

Sorry to the loved ones in his life, as I'm sure he had kids and grandkids that had nothing to do with his underhanded works, but truly a miserable human being. While I hope he R.I.P., its impossible to forget the pain he brought to others not only with the "game fixing" charge, but the negative...

First off, Earle (and all the other mods) are the best. That's why this site is the best place to discuss Bama intelligently. Having been a fan starting with Wimp's hiring in 80's I've seen a lot of highs and a lot of lows. Hopefully the bad apples are of this roster. I think that has been CAG's...

The undisciplined play and the horrible road losses are what I think of first, then the Elite 8 run and #1 ranking we held for 2 weeks. We were not even competitive on the road! That said, he'll be a fave of mine as a player since I absolutely loved him those 84-87 teams.

I believe PK was just part of the changes that went on when Coach Perkins left at end of 86 season- Steve Sloan came on board as AD and hired Eli that season. IF my memory serves correctly. For all his shortcomings as a HC Mike Shula will hold a special place in my heart for that 85 season-...

Very happy for Coach Hudson and the ladies- SEC season has been full of injuries after a promising Nov./Dec. Good luck against the Lady Cocks this weekend.

This feels so good!!!!!!! putting these guys back in the middle tier bowls they belong in!

in a game like this field position and FG's made are EVERYTHING!! and we lost the game because of those two- If you'd told me before the game we get two great picks off Lee that give us great field position I'd said we win by 7-10 pts.

Why not defer after winning the coin toss?? You've got a crazy crowd that can make things very tough on the LSU offense right off the bat- you start off winning the field position game. Horrible decision IMO- we come out and after a few nice plays end up giving them great field position after...

Great question and one of the first that pops into my head is Al Bell on that 85 team- besides his amazing catches in the incredible wins that year over UGA and the Barn, he seemed to always catch for a first down when we really needed it- Both he and Shula dropped off a bit statistically in 86...
