Coach Thompson stung. Pretending it did not is idiotic. Phyllis from Mulga maybe would not bite him if she saw him on the street but it hurt to lose him. His personal life was blamed for his departure because it was a low blow which is an easy place for classless people to go.
Poor Bama...One person I do know is Kenny Smith and if you pay people money and still suck it is even more awful.
I actually like the history and tradition of Bear, I like John Parker Wilson, and I love the Croyle family (particularly their ministry). Bama has pretty coeds and a few decent programs academically especially if you want to study things bovine.
My favorite thread ever will occur after Saban cries because Sims visits.
I do not worry about our team quitting last year because we have a new coach who will do more than clap when they screw up. We have the highest GPA in several years, lots of players have been kicked off and more have left because they could not handle the intensity and what was expected of them.
What have you guys done aside from Terrence Cody losing some weight? I saw some things in that Utah game that made me feel good about playing you guys this year with speedsters like Teague, like Brown, like Richardson. Our team is night and day different (especially O Line) from last years debacle.
Face it, like restaurant openings Saban is not the hot young coach and Alabama is not the hot program. Ole Miss and maybe even LSU with Chavis are hotter than Alabama right now. We can probably agree that Chizik is a joke, but I am glad Trooper Taylor will be pulling recruits from you. Tennessee is the hot team, we have the hot coach, we have the media attention, we have the legend of coaching (Monte) the legend of recruiting (Ed O) and we will be stomping Alabama's butt regularly now when it comes to recruits. Go back to Oak Ridge and try to get kids TN did not offer, bc within 2-3 years TN will be with Florida getting everyone they want who is not deeply tied to their home state and Bama will sink back.
By the way, I will take the Rudy comparison. My team beats Alabama in the end and I am carried off the field as the poster who made Sims come out and confirm his conversations with Askew, Stone and Prater? Awesome!
