Roll Tide, this one was a long time coming. I remember the ’92 championship. I watched ‘Bama roll up on the U in my in-laws house in Plano, Texas. But that’s not important right now. What is important is answering these ever important questions… Is it 13 National Championships or 8? Alabama claims these years [...]

I’ve waited long enough. I can’t keep my mouth shut anymore. Alabama with ROLLLLLL tonight against Texas…hopefully. There probably hasn’t been a closer match-up in the title game since the last time Texas was here against USC. In that game, Texas was considered an underdog, the pundits underestimated the impact the Texas QB would have. [...]

The game was terrible. The commentating was terrible. Tech was Terrible with a capital T. Hearing Boomer Sooner all night long was terrible that was only made worse when the TV cut to Brian Bosworth which was made worse by hearing the Big 12 Apologists as commentators which was made worse by… oh wait, Oklahoma [...]

Roll Tide. The LSU game loomed on the calendar all season long. Death Valley is a nightmare place to play – over 94,000 in attendance this past weekend – and we all know how much Saban is loved and welcomed back.

Loved the vibe of Red Raiders games, throwing tortillas and ‘gettin’ your guns up.’ So I was pulling for them to upset the nasty Longhorns. And they did. Here’s what I think: Texas is more [...]

Cooper and I were talking about what would happen this weekend after Texas beat Oklahoma. (We had to talk about something other than his Auburn Kitty Cats getting it handed to them by the Hogs.) We both thought if LSU took care of business, they would leap-frog Alabama in the polls. Then Florida went out [...]

Alabama is 3-0, sitting pretty for a great SEC run that starts this weekend with the Arkansas Razorbacks. I have a large number of Razorback readers. So I will try to be gentle. First step to recovery is acceptance. Let’s look at some facts… Arkansas 28, Western Illinois 24 – at home. Last minute heroics [...]

This weekend will kick off the 2008 College Football season and once again my beloved Tide will take the field to attempt recapturing the glory of a storied football tradition. Last year they started like gangbusters then folded up like a cheap tent. The LSU game last year ripped my heart out of my chest [...]
