Lacy cleared....

[CaliforniaTide]

Fantastic news! I can stop holding my breath now. Now the O-Line knows exactly who they'll be blocking for.

Any chance we go 2 for 2 and get Miliner through as well?

Miliner is next year. You're thinking of Sentimore.

 

[M2J]

Forget Thunder & Lightning. We now have "The Perfect Storm".

Fourth quarter is going to be murder on opposing linebackers...

No kidding.

I wouldn't doubt that in a few years we become the new Running back U.

Along with Linebacker U


As well as Defensive back U.



Oh yeah, and maybe even Nose tackle U.




Great to be a Crimson Tider right about now

Miliner is next year. You're thinking of Sentimore.

According to Tommy Deas of Tuscaloosa News' Twitter, Sentimore is on the roster according to Saban's presser today. Not sure if this is confirmation, but just saw it posted.

Also stated that 4 players not asked to return for violation of team rules(will leave names out), Cardwell, Matchett, and two others on medical scholarship, Orr, Williams, and McKeller to grayshirt.

This kid has got everthing you could want in a tailback, all I see now is fresh legs in the backfield at all times now for sure :biggrin2: Welcome home Eddie Lacy :BigA:



Roll Tide Rolllllllllllllllll

 

[kayakerjess]

This is awesome news, especially after the false start this morning. I am so glad to have Eddie on board. This is going to be a fun Fall, and it starts soon. Man, I wish I could see the daily competition during practice - it's gonna be awesome!

 

[MegaVars]

It's been said, accurately, that he would have been as sought after as Richardson, if his grades didn't look impossible. Time for a numbers re-crunch...

As far as the numbers crunch, were these 4 already counted as not being on the roster before Lacy was cleared? Link

Just watched the you tube video and WOW! Lacy runs thru, around and over tacklers as well as taking some for a ride. Does his legs ever stop running? What a stable of punishing RB's we have.:biggrin2:

 

[Nolan]

Hooray! Just a few months ago I really thought this guy was a long shot - I'm so happy.

 

[TommyMac]

Just watched the you tube video and WOW! Lacy runs thru, around and over tacklers as well as taking some for a ride. Does his legs ever stop running? What a stable of punishing RB's we have.:biggrin2:

And next year we can add Jalston Fowler to the stable of Richardson, Lacy and Ingram with a little Cory Grant or Lee Grant thrown in for a little flash and dash. :tongue: I'm not sure you'll ever see a better corps of RBs on one team than this bunch, not at USC or anywhere else.

Probably even better than any of Coach Bryant's teams of the Wishbone Era.

 

[lincoln_osiris]

Roll Tide. Great News. Is Sentimore in too?

 

[TheDon24]

I completely agree. He's shifty AND tough. And did anyone else notice his NASTY spin move?

 

[Alabama Slammer]

Nice.

 

[bamanut_aj]

This is really great news.

Now all we have to do is think of a name for a running back posse that includes Lacy, Richardson, Ingram, and Upchurch at least. I can't think of one that is superlative enough.

Eddie, you obviously worked hard to get here. We really appreciate it.

no names, please. we should have learned our lesson with the pancake(d) posse.

 

[RTR_UA#1]

Welcome Eddie! Glad to see you worked HARD and made it to BAMA!!
I think I can hear the opposing teams all say OS in unison!

ROLL TIDE!

 

[bigmammal]

Still trying to think of a name for our backfield.

Has Thundering Herd been taken? Crap yes.
Four Horsemen? Another crap.

I-Rule or Perfect Storm? Somebody already suggested those.

Rogue Elephants? Might have disciplinary problem overtones. Could apply to linemen as well.
Cheetas? Don't think so. Might work for the Barn.
Yellow Hammers? Crimson Hammers? Hammers? Alabama Slammers (in honor of our recent poster here)? Probably not.

This is a weighty issue. Might have to start a thread on this one. Tidefans was influential in naming Mt. Cody. We should be able to name a corral of RBs as well. :BigA:

 

[Skeeterpop]

How about the "Crimson F5 Tornado" Devastating Power,top end speed,Relentless and enough twist moves to make "Taz" himself dizzy. Obviously, the F5 has multiple meanings. How many opposing LB's and DB's do you think want to get infront of those runaway trains for 4QTR's?

Well the Alabama Slammer is a good mixed drink with four liqours...the Alabama Slammers are a punishing backfield with four ball carriers.

So there are similarities.

 

[TIDE-HSV]

They're going to need an OL...

 

[bigmammal]

They're going to need an OL...

Forgot about needing an OL. They can be the Slammers or the Jammers and the RBs the Rammers. Or vice versa.

 

[CapstoneGrad06]

I'm very excited for Eddie Lacy. Its also exciting news as an Alabama fan. This backfield has the potential to the be the nation's best in 2010.
