This article gives me even more appreciation for Coach Saban - how he managed this guy. http://floridapolitics.com/archives/231808-fau-puts-money-priorities-part-2

Comparing starters lost for season: I know we lost Eddie Jackson and Shaun Dion Hamilton on defense. If others, please advise. How many starters has Clemson lost - or at least, are out for this game?

FLORIDA’S ‘AUBURN TAG’ OVER HALFWAY TO REQUIRED PLEDGES via Jim Rosica of Florida Politics – A website set up to promote the drive showed 2,480 people had pledged to buy the tag if approved. New plates need 4,000 “pre-sales” before they can be produced. The...

Have read through every game notes article I can find, but can't find the last time we won three consecutive SEC road games (before this time). Anybody got that? I'll bet it's been a while!

Since the series with AU was renewed in 1948, only one coach at Alabama has won his first game and last game against those people - Gene Stallings. And only Stallings won his last game. The series is tough on first year and last year coaches (and yeah, losing it helps make it your last year)...

While refreshing my beverage, I missed seeing what happened on the last LSU punt, which they downed on our one yard-line. Was the punt misplayed, or not catchable?

Unless I missed some, a quick review of the media guide shows that our all-time record against teams ranked #1 is 6-4. (That's kind of mind-boggling, since 0-10 would be justified, in theory). However, we are 0-2 in BDS (2003 Oklahoma, 13-20; 2011 LSU, 6-9). It's hard to find something we...

Please indulge my annual post of this timely excerpt from The Tuscaloosa News, (Sunday October 19, 1980). It should get you ready for Saturday. I still well up a bit every time I read this. What I would give to have a transcript of Coach Bryant's little Wednesday night "chat" with the team ...

of two players from the same school catching an 87-yard TD pass on the first offensive play of a game against Florida, winding up with horrific leg injuries shortly thereafter?:(

I didn't get a good view, but we still argued about it a good bit at my house. Was the kickoff going out of bounds? If it had, where would we have gotten the ball, since Ole Miss was backed up 15 yards? :conf2:

Merriam-Webster defines the term "home-and-home" as taking place alternately on the home grounds of competing teams or participants engaged in successive contests or contests related by being on the same schedule. This is how I hear the term used these days, and it always puzzles me, because I...

All I saw was it said ROLL on the front. Anybody catch the punch line?

I was watching the Syracuse-Indiana game the other night, and had to cover my kid's eyes and ears when the commentator presented a graphic explaining the key to beating Syracuse's 2-3 zone defense. It requires three penetrations and two ball reversals. I think I can still handle the first...

According to an article on al.com: "Alabama, with and before Saban, has lost its last nine Iron Bowls against Auburn teams that would win nine or more games. It suggests Alabama tends to beat Auburn only when the Tigers are down." I guess we are doomed, then. I'm glad that writer is not my...

I am not going to watch a replay - ever, or sift through AU propagandized news accounts of the game. Did the Auburn punter get a concussion? He looked dazed after he helmeted Jones at the end of the return. Just curious.

Sam Behr has passed away. Link to article is below. Another of the many people who played for The Master, that made much of themselves. http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2013-11-18/news/os-sam-behr-dead-20131118_1_shoe-store-sam-behr-joanne-behr

Did anyone else see helmet-to-helmet on that play? Is that supposed to be a penalty? Not sure of the rule. I'm not surprised he dropped the ball, getting knocked in the head like that.

Can someone produce a list of the fifth-year seniors that will (likely) be on the team for the 2010 season? It looks like that may be a small percentage of the 85.

The turf at Bryant-Denny Stadium does not appear to be the best in the conference, to put it mildly. The commentators mentioned players slipping. We have had some turf management issues since we went back to the good stuff in 1991. Do we need to hire someone from (gulp) AU, UF or Miss. St...

During Saturday's game Verne Lundquist, while commenting on an extraneous factoid about Heisman winners from the SEC, commented that it must really grind Alabama fans that Auburn has two Heismans and we have none. Uh, Verne, not at all, actually. Coach Bryant dispelled that notion years ago. At...
