AlaTider731 Re: Baseball. I was referring to the 1983 CWS. That was Barry Shollenberger's 3rd year at Alabama. We were the CWS runner-up, having lost to Texas in the last game. We were 46-11 that year 80% winning pct. Over the next 12 years Bama was 58% winning pct. Shollenberger's 1st 4...

When was the Final Four appearance??? Barry Schollenberger(sp), ex-mens baseball coach was able to reach the final game in the CWS. But the program steadily declined afterwards. How many non productive years are acceptable before you think a irreversible trend is in place? Personally, I'm...

Nate- come to think of it, you are right. For instance, continuing with your insight about how height is overrated. Like those midgets George Teague 6"2" 190; Sam Shade 6'1" 190; and Antonio Langham 6'1" 170. Yes, Nate, we all know the failures they have been in the NFL when compared to...

TampaJim I have to be honest when I see 5'10" players weighing 177lbs (who never get the "growth spurt") coming to Bama; I see another wasted scholarship in the DB. Any specifics? I still remember an Aubie's post about Kecalf Bailey and his lack of aggresiveness and hitting power despite his...

Well Austin Texan, Now don't get too confident about this recruiting coup thing. Here at the University of Alabama, we lead the nation in % of "Non-Ranked" committments this year!!! So, before you go and become confident, remember that we apparently are approaching winning the NC from a...

BamaGoat, OK. I'm OK with using the NFL as the measureing stick for determining sucess in this area as it relates to size (cute hip moves, vertical jumps for joy feats, speed needed to run from ball carriers etc. aside). Let's make a bet. I'll count up the # of NFL DB's that are >6'0" and...

Can anyone enlighten me about the signee Ramzee RObinson from Huntsville 5'10" at a wopping 177 lbs?????????? Let me reprocess: only 17 scholarships to give....worse CB crop in Alabama history (all 4 CB's returning from said unit)...PROVEN PAST HISTORY of total failure with all of these...

I know there is still time before the signing deadline; however, I am going to be very disturbed if we can't get the MOST TALENTED DL in the entire nation. There are only 3 immutables facts: 1)Death 2)Taxes 3)Self-centered "great" athletes looking for the soonest playing time on TV for the...

Bama women 84 Arkansas women-70 Our SEC record now is 1-1 (11-4 overall). Big win. Arkansas's women were 6-1 in Fayetteville before tonight Roll Tide Roll

Thanks for the good news BamaJake. Could it be that this womens BB game could portend some Karma to a Bama win this WE?

Although preseason polls are exactly that-preseason. It still galls me that the women's BB team did not receive even 1 vote. TCU, Xavier, SW Missouri St., Siena, Drake,Toledo...all received at least one vote. I mean we aren't talking perennial powerhouses, right? I mean c'mon. Not to...

It never ceases to amaze me how knowledgeable those ESPN radio guys are. About what? Well, the FACT that Horry is a non-entity in the NBA. I guess his subpar college background is the reason. Now, this is why they are correct , again: -Horry made the last 7 points for the Lakers while Shaq...

Hey Bull, Was that you I heard making all the noise at the MSU-Bama BB game Wednesday night? While Bama was blistering with 75% FG% and leading rebounding 7-6 at the ( min mark) the Bama fans were loud. I thought Mo signed with GA. following Callaway? What is the scoop? Thanks
