Don't post here often, but this one struck a nerve. We pummeled Auburn that year 31-7, but after the bowl game my Aubie neighbor informed me that Auburn was a better team that year than Alabama. "How do you figure that?" I asked. <wait for it> "Because," he replied quite earnestly, "we lost...

Help! Daughter from the UK (and her stateside sisters) will be in town, so I need to sell these 2 primo seats to pay for 6 so-so tickets instead. Call 334-221-5889.

How about this: to raise awareness about the rule (i.e. a lineman downfield more than three yards from the LOS on a pass play), somebody find the exact citation for this in the rule book, then start posting signs saying "I support Rule XXX." Remember the guy with the rainbow-colored wig with...

Said the same thing to my wife after the game. I was at the 1969 Auburn game and they beat us badly and - to top it all off - the Aubs ran a fake punt for a touchdown late in the fourth quarter when the game was already out of hand. Classless. That was the same season that Scott Hunter had a...

A fellow Bama fan and I were talking about the All-Barn - Criminoles game and we both came ot the conclusion we want neither to win. She wanted a hurricane, tornado, or tsunami to intervene. I told her there are no hurricanes out there; too few mobile homes for a tornado; and it's too inland for...

Notre Dame. I was a Freshman at the University in '66. The banner at the next Alabama game after the Notre Dame-Michigan State tie that year is still imprinted in my brain: "Notre Dame Plays Politics. Alabama Plays Football. In Your Heart You Know We're Number 1." There's a pic ture of that...

Very interesting statistic about scholarships. My wife is a '70 graduate of L-R and we followed the playoffs with great interest this year. I told her we'd drive up from Prattville if they made to the championship game. They did, and we did. What I saw was a team that never gave up. Even when...

Rarely post here, but thought this was worth it. Yesterday afternoon, our Deputy Director (we're in a government office) came to see me. We had been in grad school together at the University, both big Bama fans, and had already talked about Saturday's game. Seems one of the Division Chiefs - a...

Saw that game in person from the end zone and I'll never forget it. We had helped to organize the alumni bus trip from New Orleans but left our umbrellas in the car, heeding the local adage that "It never rains in Tiger Stadium on Saturday night." It didn't rain. It POURED. For what it's...

Thanks. I've passed the word. They are both delighted!

Where in London? I didn't see it in the drop-down menu above. Daughter #1 is moving to London (from Tuscaloosa) this Sunday to be with her fiance. We've made this Brit an Alabama fan (he's been to A-day); now we've got to find the TV party over there for both of them to watch the Tide roll.

Suspicions confirmed. Take a look at CNN's "Sports Illustrated" link. The Sports Illustrated web site has the "Play of the Week." In this case, it was the deep throw by Matt Leinert that took USC to the Notre Dame 12 and eventually to victory. Look at the Xs and Os: Notre Dame was in a...
