    In retrospect, how satisfied are you with our win over Southern Cal?

    Coach Saban, in the after-game presser, was less than overwhelmed. From my extremely non-professional opinion, we benefited from a gracious plenty of miscues from SC. We cashed them, and that is a positive; but we were not as dominant as the score would indicate. Am I worried? No. We have...

    Has Trump peaked?

    To begin with I'll admit that I shudder to think that Donald Trump could be elected president. In my opinion he is arrogant, shallow, and impulsive. None of these characteristics are desirable in the leader of the free world. That said, I also believe that he has zero chance to ever BE...

    A Thnksgiving, Tidefans, American, Alabama prayer

    What a privilege, Dear Lord, to live here in these United States, surrounded by oceans, blessed with vast fertile plains, freshly flowing rivers, snow capped mountains, and the golden shores of the bountiful Gulf of Mexico. Help us to remember, Dear Lord, and praise your name for giving us the...

    OK, I've changed my mind. No Syrian refugees!

    Are we as individuals and Christians obligated to help the poor and dispossessed? Jesus said we are. But is our country obligated to admit Islamic refugees? Most here and across the country say no, and I have now joined their number. I have spent some time researching the Muslim culture, in...

    How should an American Christian respond to ISIS?

    What is the proper response for an American Christian to Radical Islam? The Paris attacks have forced me to come to a better understanding of what I actually feel as a Christian and an American with regard to what is going on in Syria and Iraq; and what has now spread to many other nations and...

    Will Coach Saban's experience as LSU coach have any bearing on this game?

    I'm not guru enough to answer my own question. I would think that CLM would design a play or two that looked like something from Caoch Saban's playbook back then, but deviate in some way.

    Foley High School contributes to Arky win

    Maybe it is because I also graduated from Foley, (duh), but did anyone notice that THREE of the starting players on the field against Arkansas were Foley guys? How often does that happen? Lester had two picks and made 7 tackles. Fluker played very well at RT, and Julio was Julio, making the...

    Bama-Auburn Memories (long)

    I read in today's Mobile Register that Coach Chizik is replaying tapes from various Iron Bowl games. Mostly Auburn wins, of course; but who could blame him? It made me aware that these kids are so young,; in fact their parents are so young that they don't have the storehouse of memories we...

    Peterson's coverage of Julio

    Red55 was on here quite a bit before the game and was quite vocal about Patrick Peterson's abilities. He made predictions about Peterson's likely man-to-man coverage of Julio. I want to say that I, for one, was very impressed with Peterson's game. He made some exceptional plays against Julio...

    How would you fix the ineffective passing game?

    There was much knashing of teeth following the USCe game concerning Gmac's passing stats. McElroy himself was quoted saying he had a bad game. For my part, I thought he was just pressured so much that he never got into a rhythm. Others may see it differently, though. Bottom line, though: we...

    "Howgozit" comment from the Snake

    I have been contemplating how I feel about our upcoming games, and I remembered a comment I heard second hand from Kenny Stabler last week. A guy I play golf with regularly was at a red light in Fairhope and noticed the Snake stopped alongside. He motioned for Kenny to roll down his window...

    How good is Coach Saban? (Stats)

    Just an interesting tidbit: (1) Coach Nick Saban is 12-6 at Alabama as we enter the Kentucky game...he has twice as many wins as losses here. (2) He now has an overall record of 153-48-1, slightly more than twice as many wins as losses. (3) If we win out through the regular season, he will be...

    Is America Conservative or Liberal?

    On McNeil/Lehrer tonight, the observation was made that the political parties are more fixed in thier ideology than in many decades. Republicans are more conservative, and Democrats more liberal than before, and the parties are identified in the public conciousness as conservative and liberal...

    A personal note from bobstod

    On July 12th I lost my wife. We would have begun our 45th year of marriage in September. She was 64 years old. I found her unconscious on the bedroom floor at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Eventually (after about 8 days) they diagnosed it as herpal encephialitis, an inflammation of the brain...

    Is anybody UNhappy about the Saban hire?

    On the face of it, Bama has just hit the mega jackpot on the hundred-dollar slot machine. We have a proven winner, a strong discplinarian, and a super recruiter for our program. I, for one, fully expect to see him effect major positive changes for Alabama Footabll; and sooner rather than...

    GWB begins redefining "victory".

    It didn't take long for the Bush Camp to begin sidewinding. The first signal was when Snow declared that "staying the course" was not a phrase descriptive of what Bush & Co intend for the future. Scrap that line, along with "mission accomplished" and "the insurgents are in their death throes"...

    Pat Tillman's birthday

    November sixth is Pat Tillman's birthday. His brother Kevin has written a poignant, impassioned essay, which I cannot link because I still haven't learned how to do it.... Will someone find it and link it?

    Politics as usual

    Consider the ridiculous finger-pointing and innuendo by republicans that, somehow, Democrats saved information about former representative Mark Foley (R. Fla) for release just before the election, in order to hurt their reelection chances. Here is a party that had warnings about this pervert...
