    Death of Former Madison County Sheriff Jerry Crabtree

    City Cafe it was! We eat there due to its proximity to the federal courthouse. We had eyeballed that cake carousel many times, so Jerry suggested we sample a "slice" in celebration of the National Championship. Jerry's funeral service concluded to the strains of "Yea Alabama." Thank you for...

    Alabama is becoming America's Team

    Question: Star Jackson in the Mix?

    And per ESPN U: "Jackson is the true definition of a dual-threat because being outside of the pocket is where he is at his very best. He is a lanky athlete with good feet, elusiveness and athleticism to create. When in the pocket, Jackson is consistent in his methods and fundamentals. He gets...

    Question: Star Jackson in the Mix?

    And that worked out pretty well. The Alabama coaches who scouted Jackson feed player information to the Public Affairs office, which publishes player bios. There he is described this way: "the talented dual-threat quarterback has a strong arm and good elusiveness ... has good speed and is an...

    Question: Star Jackson in the Mix?

    I said rotating him in as an alternative to the Wildcat, not as a replacement for McElroy. The Wildcat is an almost guaranteed key for a run, as evidenced by the many times it has been stuffed this year. A pocket passer who runs 4.6 in the 40 in high school makes for a pretty good dual threat...

    Question: Star Jackson in the Mix?

    Given his ability as a running QB in high school, what are the thoughts on rotating Star Jackson as a dual threat runner-passer from the shotgun formation? Seems it might work better than the "Wildcat" formation, which generally has not netted good results this season (other than late in the...

    UT/Bama Week: Thoughts, predictions, etc...

    UT has the talent, and Crompton seemed to turn a corner against a Georgia defense that has been sub-par this season. Our O-line will have to give McElroy time against an aggressive, well-coached defense and we desperately need to fix some kick coverage and penalty issues on special teams. I...

    Bama 107th of 120 in Yardage Per KO Return

    The best fix is kicking the ball deep enough into the end zone. Our kickoffs rarely reach the zone, and those long returns are a killer in the battle for field position. Maybe the team should hold tryouts for a kickoff specialist. I bet someone on that campus can kick the ball off a tee into...
