Re: Totally On Target Sports Illustrated Analysis Of The Ole Miss "Lucky Touchdown" Bingo.

I wouldn't trade the past, present (including this season) or future of Alabama football with any other program in the country. I am fairly certain I have been around Alabama football a lot longer than most on these boards but it never ceases to amaze me how many people blindly accept the...

The clip is from a video called "Roses of Crimson" done a few years ago. I think it is still available to purchase at the Bryant Museum. The video covers the trip out to Pasedena, highlights from the Rose Bowl game itself, the train trip home, and the parade down University Blvd to the Quad...

Without a doubt it was the 2008 game in Athens. Here is why: earlier in the year former player Victor Ellis had died. In a few short months Victor had gone from a perfectly healthy young man full of life just 28 years old to an individual destroyed by cancer. But right up until the end Victor...

IF there has been embezzlement by upper management in the ticket office, the question is where did the money go. Was it embezzled for the use of dishonest individuals within the department, or was it transferred into a slush fund for improper benefits to athletes? The latter seems more likely...

I guess this is one of the rare occasions that I agree with sir Charles. He said it well....and he has also done a superb job of amplifying the real Charles Barkley.

I wouldn't say it is "easy come, easy go". There is nothing easy about working for the opportunity for even a brief career in thr NFL. I think it is more ignorance in handling the potential financial rewards that come with it... It has been my observation that money doesn't change people....or...

The tags may be similar but the total sales are not even close. Take a look at our sales versus the barn's and post the numbers. All of our money goes to student scholarships -one more reason to buy the tag, show your pride, and support scholarships.

I haven't looked at their roster to see where they are getting their recruits but Oregon has California to recruit. I would be willing to bet Oregon's percentage of black athletes in-state is so low that have to go out of state for the better athletes. When Joe Morrison was HC at the Univ of NM...

Every new University tag change is met with mixed reviews but every time there is a change tag sales increase with the new tag. BamaMoon, your wife's concerns might be valid. I took a look at my personal tag which has a block "A" followed by two numbers which are all centered in the middle of...

I certainly agree that Shula was/is a good person but there is no doubt he was in a tough spot as a head coach for which he hadn't been well prepared. I had some good friends on his staff and it was a tough situation for all.

Re: SIAP. Marcus Lutrell Speech to Players before game I had the privilege of meeting Lutrell and hearing him speak Friday night. I recommend reading his book. I don't know anything about the UA copyright claim from the athletic department but I suspect it involved the use of the movie clips...

Actually, Paul Jr. is NOT the President of the U of A Systems BOT. The chair is Karen Brooks. Paul Jr. is not even on the athletic committee but is on the advisory committee to Karen Brooks and he serves on the BOT. Chancellor Bob Witt who answers to the BOT wants to see the U of A System run...

I misunderstood. You were saying a conference of 16 teams would have four divisions consisting of four teams each that would play each other every year....which would would be 3 games. For fun I will play along. Let's call the 4 divisions N,S,E,W. Everybody plays the other 3 teams in their...

Do I understand you correctly that you think 4 super divisions each made up of 16-18 teams -with each having two sub divisions of 8 or 9 teams- would actually have the opportunity, or even the desire, to play MORE out of conference games? What would be their motivation and how would it benefit...

Re: Being an alumni of the college="real fan"? This subject annoys me every time it comes up. Here is the simple step anyone can take that buries our rivals' jealousy of Bama's fan base: Go to alumni@ua.edu and join the National Alumni Association. Fans, friends of the University, former...

Interesting subject. Frankly, I think we recruit student-athletes who are focused on their total development. That certainly includes communication skills. I know there is some prep work for future interviews. Public speaking, like all skills, is something you learn to do by doing. Practice is...

I know softball Coach Pat Murphy has done something similar. He and members of the softball team paired up and hand delivered season tickets to all local season tickets holders a few years ago. It was a huge undertaking but he said it was worth all the effort. It really bonded the team and the...
