Senior Memories!!!

[SimCastilleFan3]

I wanted to start a thread about some of guys favorite memories of this years senior class. I can remember the first game Freddie played in against Middle Tennessee State, with Middle Tenn. driving Freddie makes the game clinching pick and returns it to the house for a touchdow. That was also the 10-3 year that team was underrated I think that team could have won the SEC.

My favorite memory would have to be good Ol' Meco! 2003 against Arkansas seems like he was playing because someone was injured? 23 tackles if i remember correctly!! He got his shoot and never looked back!!! That a Baby Meco! but I would like to thank all the Seniors for sticking around thats what makes Alabama Alabama guys like this !! A special Class this year boys!!! i dont know about yall but im Dang PROUD to call myself a FAN of the greatest TRADITION in the Ncaa Roll Tide!!!!

I have lots of good memories, but I remember the first time I saw Freddie Roach I knew he was going to be a player. I believe it was Saleem Rasheed that left and we were uncertain of who would fill his spot. Roach had good reports coming out of summer and I would have to say that he far surpassed those expectations. Oh and Freddie's singing on those Crimson Tradition videos still crack me up.

Kind of reminds me of this year. Heard good things about Hall, Mustain, etc...hope they will be as good as Freddie.

Mustain?

I think Roman Harper causing that fumble against Tennessee would be the highlight. I also loved Brodie's performance against Arkansas in '02.

Yea, Roman Harper laying out that big Tenn tight end and causing the fumble is one I'll always remember. Why did Freddie Roach's hands digress so badly from his first year to his last?

Mustain?

Sorry, meant Mustin...

Memories ...oh, there are so many. I will remember that first game of Roach's with the pick. Also talk alot about the two robberies that Charlie Peprah had against Georgia and Tennessee two years ago where he down right came up and robbed the receiver of the ball and took it to the house against Georgia and then to the 3 up in Knoxville against Tenn. Although we lost, i also enjoyed the slober knocker of that home Oklahoma game. Alot of heart went out that evening! Same for that 5 overtime Tenn game the same year. However, if I had to choose, I would say the whole dad gum Florida game this year is going to be one of my most memorable times in T-town. THAT PLACE WAS ROCKIN and the guys played almost near perfect football on both sides. (How they did in recruiting after gettgin out right embarrased by us is still a mystery to me by the way!)
Man, do we really have to pick one or two?

There are so many I can recall. But to leave it to a few, I would say Brodie's first start in 2002 against Arkansas. He slung the ball all over the field. I believe he was 14-28 for 280 yards or so. I also recall the game against Southern Miss that year where the ball slipped out of his hand and the USM defender scored a TD. I was mad they scored but it was kind of funny. Other would be the Charlie Peprah interception against UT in 2002 or the one against UGa in 2002, the stadium went wild. 2003 and 2004 were tougher years but the 2003 games against Arkansas and UT in overtime saw many of these guys battle for hours. This season brought many, many great memories that I will carry with me. Seeing Demeco Ryans play was a privlege, I am so honored theat I attended Alabama at the same time he came through here. The rest of the senior class rose up to put 'Bama back on the map and usher in a new era of dominance.
