It's been 20 years since this game in Athens. The similarities of this team and our 2015 are very interesting. We had Burgdorf, who though talented, just didn't have it all together at this point and this was our first year after years of dominance of Barker/Palmer/et al. If you remember the...

SIAP Vizio has a new commercial for their new 4k Ultra HDTV. It appears to be Mike McCoy catching at TD pass against Ole Miss...which would make this from the 2008 season. The old jumbo tron and south end zone can be seen as well. Roll Tide.

The obvious answer is "Undefeated". But... Do you feel that the championship meant more because of the redemption factor? Also, that it had a similar feeling to the 1993 Sugar Bowl where our opposition had all but been crowned by the nation as the best team in America prior to the game...

My dad took me to the re-dedication game in 1998 where we played BYU in BDS. For Christmas, my parents got me the poster of the kickoff of that game and I had it framed. I was able to find my dad and I in that picture based on what we were wearing and where we were sitting. I was 16 at the...

After Brantley was taken out of the game, I started to wonder how many quarterbacks we have actually faced this year due to the starters getting banged up or being uneffective. Here is a list of the teams we have played and how many quarterbacks attempted at least one pass against us (to remove...

Last year I remember the tone and attitude being more of a respectful one in Tuscaloosa. It was respect for Joe Pa...it was respect for the Penn State players...and it was respect for their fans. I had a few Penn State fans wander over to my tailgate last year and I fed them and made sure they...

Watching Trent over the past few years and seeing what our offense wants to do in the short passing game... I have a feeling Trent will end up breaking some records before it's all said and done. I have a feeling he will break the all-purpose yards record and that could very well put him in...

I got to thinking this afternoon, with all of the success we have had in the past few years, is it harder to look back? What I mean is, is it a little bit harder to remember everything between 1997 and 2006? Sure we remember things like Prothro's catch, the 2005 Florida game, both games...

With the talk of teams that never live up to the hype it got me thinking about conferences. All of the BCS conferences other than the Big East and ACC have had success when it mattered in the past 8 seasons. Take Miami out (because they were Big East) and the ACC has not been in the BCS...

Terry Saban was just on JOX and told the guys that the statue would be unveiled during the "Walk of Champions" at the A-Day Game. She also said a student at the University as the one who designed the statue and that she absolutely loves it. This should draw another record crowd to the game.

Funny commercial I just saw on TV. The commercial is well made...and it's funny because Notre Dame is not that good. YouTube - Notre Dame Cuts Printing Costs with Xerox - Funny Commercial

Just noticing that the USC/Hawaii game is set for ESPN late night on Thursday (9/2). Because of all of the sanctions and such, will they get paid for making the trip out to Hawaii as well as the TV money coming in? I remember some of our money being withheld by the conference or someone until...

I was manager of the Track team at UA when I was there, so I got to see how scholarships actually worked for a sport like that. The NCAA puts the cap at 11 or so scholarships for track and cross country. How you use those scholarships is up to you. You could have 11 guys on full...

So, I have the sweetest fiance in the entire world. Part of her wedding present to me is a guided tour of BDS for me and my groomsmen!!! My question is this: when should we go? Our wedding is at the end of August (before football season of course). The only day in August that I could go is...

I am not sure if this has been mentioned yet on the board (I did a search) and I have no article to link to... But I was at the A-Club event in The Zone the evening before the A-Day game. CNS spoke to everyone for a few minutes at one point. He was very positive and enthusiastic about the...

You know...there are only two other college football coaches who come to mind that were very close to winning National Championships at two different schools. Coach Bryant (Kentucky in 1950 went 11-1) Coach Wade (Duke in 1938 almost won the Rose Bowl) I'm not surprised both coaches won...

Coach Bryant's 1950 Kentucky Wildcats were voted the National Champions by the Sagarin voters. Kentucky officially claims this as a National Championship. Does this technically make Coach Bryant a multiple school National Championship winner? It was a split championship in 1950, but I believe...

The Last Coach passed away 27 years ago this day. It's a good feeling knowing that our progam is in good hands and that we are back on top of the college football world. I am only 28 years old, but have seen the impact of Coach Bryant on not only the University of Alabama but the great state...

I have two games from this 2009 season on my DVR, the VaTech game and the SECCG. It's amazing how similar, yet different our team is. Mark Ingram in week one looked like a star who finally got his shot on the big stage. He ran hard, hit the right holes, and was determined to get that extra...

To put things into perspective on the impact Mark Ingram has made on our team... He is only 376 yards away from becoming 5th all-time in career rushing yards at Alabama. He currently has 2,270 yards... 1. Shaun Alexander...3,565 (-1,295) 2. Bobby Humphrey...3,420 (-1,150) 3. Kenneth...
