I was about to ask why Mac Jones had a Crimson cap but with a 4.0 gpa that got answered. Honors. Well done young man. The first thing I remember about Mac was when he got a DUI. Now he is first string and has graduated with honors. Well done coach on turning boys into good men.

Amen brother. Stephen A. Smith got me fired up ! I'm ready to slap somebody's azz. And I'm almost 71 yrs old. I would get bulldozed.

If I remember correctly, Coach Bryant said;"If you're going to fight in a game, make it a good one because it's the last time you'll wear the crimson jersey". Please understand I'm not advocating this solution. I love me some Smitty.

My BIL served there as a professor in the early 70's. Both he and my sister are UA grads. My strongest memory from those trips is eating chicken fried steak in Bryan, TX (sorry, don't remember the restaurant's name). The steak covered an oval plate and was topped with white gravy. It was so...

I remember that call so well. I also remember thinking;"How the hell does Keith Jackson know where Eastaboga is ?". Then I realized that he and Frank Broyles passed the exit sign many times going to/from the Atlanta airport.

Re: A memory..before I forget it. Good point Elefantman. But if Lamar Thomas had scored, could Miami have declined the penalty ?

It's going to be a long day for west coast Bama fans. The game doesn't start until 10PM and will probably be up until 1AM. I see you were up at 8:15 with your camera. Roll Tide brother. I'm not going to take it down. I'll just say that I shouldn't post before the second cup of coffee and i...

I'll try to make this brief. My dad was a great story teller (as is typical of many southerners). He loved to tell humorous yarns. The stories he told of WWII were funny. Like the time he was in a foxhole and a K9 came up behind him and stuck his wet nose to his neck. My dad soiled himself...

Dam dust ! I would like to thank coach for the research he must do in recruiting the right kids and his efforts to make them even better.

Thanks for that ! It wiped some years off my slate. My favorite broadcasting team ever. Whoa nellie !

Lord, let Henry clock striker about 5 good times. Make his azz quit..and his mouth too.

I defer to your memory Selma. BTW, who did McCants chase down after being knocked on his backside ?
