    Bryant Denny question

    Those of us in faraway places don't always get the correct version of stories coming out of Alabama. Case in point: There is a lot on Facebook about the upgrading of Bryant Denny. To the tune of billions (2.5 billion to be exact. Is there anything to this?

    Memories (re: game day from one who has been around)

    Game day. My time at the University spanned the years 1967-1977. Three of those years (1973-76) I was acting Dean of the Graduate School. I assume that office is still in the same place as it was then (first floor of the Ad building-corner office to the left looking out on the Quad). Game day...

    Aggies are number one in something

    With all this talk about the game and Alabama's coming of age, something about A & M is being overlooked. Have you seen their band???? Nothing like it in this land. Precision! Fan support! Unbelievable emotion while they are coming on the field. Renews our pride in our military. Those...

    Issues with Spectrum/ESPN

    What's the latest on the Disney (ESPN/ABC) coverage with Spectrum. I have Direct TV and had no problem. But many of my friends were unable to see the game because of Spectrum. Next week I will be at our beach place, and the TV provider there is Spectrum. Does that mean I will not get to see...

    Are you ever so nervous you can't watch?

    I am getting close to that. Yesterday, I thought A&M looked very good. At times! I believe Jess had already ordained that their offensive and defensive lines were better than ours. And the way they swept down the field on their first possession just about gave me a heart attack! I later told...

    When will we hear from Jess on the Duke game?

    I am sitting up here in North Carolina on pins and needles waiting to read what Jess will have to say about the Duke game. Is it Tuesday morning when his article comes out? I watched a little of the Florida-Miami game, and it appeared to me that Florida very much wanted to lose that game...

    How best to respond to the ribbing?

    Man, have I been hammered since the game! Too many Clemson folks up here in NC. So, I have arrived at my pat answer to the ribbing. "Can you imagine how hard it is to be an Alabama fan? Truly embarrassing. Can you believe we have lost five out of the last ten national championships? " Once...

    When will we hear from Jess?

    I can't remember from one year to the next. Does Jess do a bowl game prediction? Will he give a prediction of our playoff games? If so, when will we see those? I can read all sorts of predictions and analyses, but none will be as good as Jess'.

    Bama vs. Clemson: How does it look at this point

    With only a few games remaining until the playoffs, how do the pros look at a Bama Clemson NCG? If we get by LSU, and we will, we will be sort of sliding into the SEC CG, and from there to the NCG. Clemson has had closer game(s) than we have with competition not any better than what we have...

    Will this be a "statement" game?

    All season long we have been bombarded with the old "Alabama hasn't played anybody" or "weak schedule." Well, we are playing somebody this Saturday. It would be fantastic if we could run up a really good score, say 57-7 or something like that, to shut up the naysayers?

    Humor at the expense of the ACC

    Last week someone dropped this off at my office where I work here in Albemarle NC. Have no idea from whence it came, but the humor is good. Some of these are oldies but they are still goodies. 1. What does the average Florida State player get on his SAT's? Drool 2. What do you...
