    Link: Mark Ingram Cleared by UA Compliance...

    The TMZ story looks like a case of right facts, wrong conclusion. NCAA is looking into Austin's trip to DC and any parties he attended. Ingram was at one of the parties but cleared everything beforehand with compliance. "NCAA is looking into party Ingram attended" may be right, but not...

    Question: In High School Did You Play With Or Against Any Players Who Went On To Play For Bama?

    Played for Hartselle High School in the early 90's. Former Bear Bryant player Jim Grammer was a vice principal. Richard Grammer is Jim's brother who died while at Alabama. Drowned. Coached by Don Woods. Sparky Woods brother. Coach Woods sent several players to play major college football...

    Good Thread on Tigerrant about Relationship between LSU Offense and Defense

    What, was the offense too rested? I really hope LSU fans keep thinking this way because this is backwards in so many ways. I could see the problem being that the defense wasn't giving the offense enough opportunities if the offense was scoring quickly and the games all ended in high scoring...

    What Tide Player had the best Pro Career?

    Don Hutson. The very first superstar receiver in the professional game. Held every major receiving record, invented several routes, the very definition of a game changer. One of the very first members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The Green Bay Packers named their athletic facility after...

    Will the worst offense in the SEC please stand up?

    Sadly enough I'll have to go with LSU. They are ranked 12th in the SEC in total offense...below Vanderbilt. And LSU has incredible talent all up and down their roster. Vanderbilt is getting more production out of their 1-star talent than LSU is out of their 5-star sub-NFL roster.

    Hello Bama fans

    I think what VanHam is saying is that Arkansas losing Franklin this year would be comparable to us losing Rashad Johnson off of last year's team. It's not necessarily his incredible athletic gifts, it's his leadership, his being the quarterback of the defense. Play calls, getting people lined...

    After watching the VT Spring game, the edge in VT/Alabama goes to

    With a statement like that I don't think you fully appreciate just how big and athletic Mt Cody really is. Cordarrow Thompson is 3 inches shorter and weighed 338 lbs at the most according to the 2007 Va Tech roster. He is listed as weighing 303 lbs on last year's roster. Mt Cody signed with...

    After watching the VT Spring game, the edge in VT/Alabama goes to

    That's kind of where I was going with that first look at the roster. Small, quick defenders concern me more than big, slow tree trunks. However, Utah was a unique conflux of events that lead to that particular outcome. I think Virginia Tech has more to worry about because of the results of...

    After watching the VT Spring game, the edge in VT/Alabama goes to

    Did I read the roster correctly? Virginia Tech only has 1 player on their defense that weighs more than 300 lbs? (#95 Cordarrow Thompson at 6' 2" and 308lbs) And only 2 defensive linemen that weigh more than 290 lbs on the roster?

    After watching the VT Spring game, the edge in VT/Alabama goes to

    Alabama's offensive line in the spring was purely an experiment. We have an old head NFL offensive line coach, Joe Pendry and his 19 seasons coaching OL in the NFL, who is working more on building flexibility and depth than cohesion in the Spring. Every offensive lineman is being coached up on...

    Link: The 10 Greatest SEC Coaches of All Time: Part One

    Sure Miles has done well the past three years, but he did so using almost exclusively players that were recruited by Nick Saban. When Saban arrived at LSU, they were an also-ran. He made them a national power from the nothingness he inherited from Gary Dinardo. When Miles arrived at LSU, they...

    Link: The 10 Greatest SEC Coaches of All Time: Part One

    Neyland, besides being a great football coach and brigadier general, was also an engineer who studied at Texas A&M and MIT who literally designed Neyland Stadium. Despite the extra posts in his favor, I'm not a huge Neyland fan, just wanting to shed some light on why I would put him second to...

    Link: The 10 Greatest SEC Coaches of All Time: Part One

    General Neyland won 6 SEC Championships and a National Championship (with 3 more awarded by various sources). He was 173-31-12 (.829) in his career at Tennessee. A career that was interupted by the fact he was called back into the Army to lead troops in Panama (1935) and world war II (he was a...

    CFN's Calvalcade of Whimsey: The Coaches

    Alabama measures success in championships. By that yard stick: Saban @ LSU: 2 SEC Championships, 1 National Championship Les Miles - None. Better than Saban with Saban's recruits? Not until he actually wins in Atlanta. Twice. And a National Championship.

    Washington Times Article "Best Defense Ever Assembled"

    No. Alabama's 1961 defense was the best defense ever on the field. The only allowed 22 total points all season long. Absolute domination. Joey Johnston from MSNBC.com had the same reaction as most of us did when he hears that USC has the best defense ever. He basically says let them play...

    #47 E.Knight - Where's he been / What's wrong?

    When a true freshman and a defensive linemen walk into fall practice having never played a down of offensive line in a college game and take the starting position from everyone else competing for those spots that pretty much says everything there is to say about how much "talent" and...

    #47 E.Knight - Where's he been / What's wrong?

    Prothro used to drop a lot of passes. Then the light came on and he became phenomenal. DJ Hall and Keith Brown used to drop passes. Then the light came on and they both became phenomenal. Right now, Oakley, Stover, and Caddell are dropping their share. Considering Cheese's results with...

    Hawaii win looking better and better

    Joe Kines is the antidote to the spread offense. Texas Tech was on an equally impressive offensive rampage last year before they were stifled by ole Kines. He also kept zone blitzing in his back pocket until we played Tennessee. Just ask ole David Cutcliffe about that one. ;)
