For those of you wanting to learn a little more about Zone Blocking, here is an excellent basic explanation by former Notre Dame head coach Bob Davie from his Football 101 series. Football 101: Zone blocking I like this explanation because it is simple, straight forward, and gives a good...

Somewhere between points and counterpoints the truth lies. This is true in almost any debate. The stronger the opposition to one another, or the weaker the constitution of both, means that more of the truth lies undiscussed between the two points of view. It is with this idea in mind that I...

The greatest gift we've been given this offseason is continued silence and steady continuity. Because of all of the offseason turmoil this team has faced over the past 4 or 5 years, this has to feel like a truly blessed offseason in Tuscaloosa to the players, coaches, administrators, and fans...

After reading how the Iron Bowl is ranked as the 3rd best rivalry in the country, naturally, I thought whoever came up with that list is a sportswriter (I would have said an idiot sportswriter, but that's being redundant.) With the Good Lord looking down on me and my kids looking up to me, I...

The BCS needs to make it plain and simple: USC vs Oklahoma in the BCS Championship. What should it tell Auburn? "Next year, if you want to play in the big game, earn it by playing better non-conference opponents. You can't play for it all if you ain't got the guts to schedule a real...

It's time to unleash the fark fury upon Nick Saban and his LSU Tigers...

Great Win - Alabama vs The Great Croom He won't get enough credit for it, but that was one of the toughest wins by any coach at Alabama ever. I'm not wearing Crimson Glasses. I'm not completely Pro Shula. And, I'm not kidding. Every single slant, every single article, every single mention...

North Carolina wasn't the only ones celebrating Miami's loss.

Here are some DeMotivational Farks I created last year after the Oklahoma vs aTm game:

With all of the attention on Croom this week, Miss State has to be feeling like "the other boys in the band."

Enough Croom vs Shula, how about Miss State vs Alabama? Offensively: My favorite quote about Alabama's offense from this week's newspaper articles was one from Miss State's Defensive Coordinator, Ellis Johnson. He said that the SEC is a league where the offensive schemes are based on speed...

In an interpretation of his speech, he said that any state that votes for Kerry will be spared while any state that votes for Bush will be considered an enemy. Bin Laden warns 'Red' State 10 out of 10 terrorists agree: Anyone but Bush!

I find it particularly amazing how many people have jumped off of the "Fire Joe Kines" bandwagon this year and are now firmly seated on the "Anti-Shula" or "Fire Dave Rader" bandwagons. Last year these people knew all of our problems were because our Defensive Coordinator didn't blitz enough...

The Gator Hunter...Crikey! Was anyone surprised by Florida's pulling the trigger on Zook at the very first chance it got? Zook neutered the Gators. He gave them teeth with his recruiting. Then he neutered them with his coaching and mentality. They reminded me an awful lot of LSU under Gerry...

Looking back at the Southern Miss game, it went pretty much the way I guessed in the Southern Miss vs Alabama breakdown, with a few things that stick out. If Alabama had actually caught any of the 3 or 4 interceptions they dropped, we would have scored much more points. Southern Miss's...

When you look at what they've done this year and who they've done it against, it adds up to a convincing Crimson Tide win. Southern Miss is giving up an average of 170 yards per game on the ground. That includes giving up 178 yards and 173 yards respectively to the mighty rushing attacks of...

The Alabama Squad of 2004 looks a lot like the Alabama Squad of 2003 around this time. Alabama is a team where the offense has too many 3 and outs or costly turnovers, the kicking game is either ineffective or a true hindrance (poorly timed 30 yard punts, missed 30 yard field goals, and either...

Best Team Georgia – The offense hasn’t been bad, it was just bored against inferior defenses. Auburn – If the placekicking solidifies, this could be a National Championship caliber team. Oklahoma – Holding Texas Tech to 13 points is a major feat in itself. On Deck...

Thoughts on the Season – Week 5 Best Team Georgia – The offense hasn’t been bad, it was just bored against inferior defenses. Auburn – If the placekicking solidifies, this could be a National Championship caliber team. Oklahoma – Holding Texas Tech to 13...

I know, I know. Alabama = Great Football. But, did you know that Alabama can be linked by 1 degree of separation to some of the greatest players, coaches, and moments in both College and NFL football? (Kind of like 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon.) Whether it's from Alabama football itself, or from...
