    Meo Knight of Central Catholic High, Morgan City, LA has signed to play for Alabama next season. She and her fellow Eagle are in the middle of Class 1A competition. I'll try to get some stats on Meo next week. http://www.stmarynow.com/high-school-sports/cchs%E2%80%99-meo-knight-signs-alabama

    LSU losing more players

    Somebody said Miles was having as much trouble with Roster Management 101 as he has with Time Management 101. As a Louisiana resident, this news makes me smile a tiny bit.

    Rolando picks his number...#55

    Somebody prolly needs to check me on this, but at Alabama, Lee Roy was #54. Had to change to #55 with the Cowboys because Chuck Howley already had #54. I wore #55 when I played because of Lee Roy's Cowboy number.

    Question About SI's Alabama Commemorative Package

    I was eager to get it. Now, I'm getting anxious.

    Wettest Game Ever Attended?

    Your #1 was also my #1. I sat in the south end zone and watched Bama's line open gaping holes in the Tiger D, only to see Major Ogilvie slip down when he tried to cut upfield. But, hey . . . we won!

    Mark Guillon (Bad News)

    Just read the thread on BamaMag. No link to anything official. "Course, there may be no "official" word on something like this. One guy said he was glad MG finally hit what he was throwing at. :eek2:

    Brodie to the Chiefs

    I'm glad, too. Been a Chiefs fan since the Hank Stram days when a couple guys from my high school (Lanett) played for him. Unfortunately, they played their college ball at Auburn. Bobby Hunt, a DB eventually went to Cincinnati in teh expansion draft, but Dave Hill, an OT, started on the Chiefs...

    Coach Bryant Coaching Tree

    There are several assistants. Rocky Colburn is on the present Tide staff. George Pugh is coaching TEs at UAB. Jeff Rutledge was either OC or QB coach somewhere, but I can't remember.

    White Out at Arkansas? (about what to wear to the game - staff)

    Have you noticed that, when you say it fast, Woo, Pig comes out as Whup Pig. Kinda appropriate when you think about it.

    Greg McElroy - you have to love him.....

    Seems Shula has recruited a lot of quality kids in the few years he's been at Bama.

    Everything was great at A-day until...(OK, about the band and AD politics)

    I'm obviously of the "old school." Heck, I'm just old. Not many of the songs y'all mentioned rang a bell with me. Now, I did recognize TerryP's jazz hall of fame. I was in high school band way back in . . . in . . . well, way back. We mainly played marches so I guess that's why I like 'em...

    Everything was great at A-day until...(OK, about the band and AD politics)

    Do bands not play march music anymore? As far as the band playing something to fire up the team, if "Yea, Alabama" doesn't get you fired up, then there's something wrong with you.

    Things you won't do as a Bama fan

    I agree with the ban on orange clothing. I have a really neat orange sports coat that I won't wear because, when I do, I catch it from all the LSU fans here about wearing Auburn colors. I won't pull for UT or the Barn unless their winning helps Bama.

    Shula's CBS message to Prothro

    Yeah, there was just a glint of tear in Shula's eye and a quiver in his voice. This old man got a huge lump in his throat.

    Meaning of your Username....

    There was a 1950's movie called The Crimson Pirate, starring Burt Lancaster. Wanted something to do with Bama that was a tad different that most usernames. I've had this one since forever. Just wish I could use the avatar I've been using on the other forums. It's been with me since the start, also.

    I have a Nokia 5125 with TracFone Prepaid service. Is there anywhere that I can download the fight song. I've got a Bama faceplate, but I need that ringtone.

    Guess this makes Stallings Fran's Boss?

    I always thought Coach Stallings was a class guy...and a great coach. Back when we were going through the Jelks-Langham mess, I sent him a letter of support. He surprised me by answering with a personal note saying that he used to "roughneck" out of Morgan City in the summertime when he was in...

    UT adds black to color scheme, uniforms

    "In The Jailhouse Now" was originally done by Jimmie Rodgers, the Singing Brakeman, way back yonder. The only difference in his version and the one done by the Soggy Bottom Boys in "Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou?" is that the SBB yodeled where Jimmie sings the chorus. Jimmie Rodgers Maybe...
