Alabama’s Heart, Discipline, and Talent Too Much for Tim Tebow’s Florida Gators
Published on: 7th December, 2009
On Saturday morning, ESPN decided to add a little bit of fuel to the fire. On their popular pregame show, "College Gameday," ESPN has added a new gimmick for this year's season. The idea is to find a celebrity, former coach, or maybe even a former player that has some sort ...Iron Bowl for the Ages Sets Up Game of the Century, Part 2

In the wee hours on Friday night (read: Saturday morning), I got a call from my buddy, Vice, who was vacationing in the Rocky Mountains. While my friends and I were celebrating a miserably close Iron Bowl victory in Auburn, Vice and company had watched the game at a little ...Mark Ingram Takes the High Road, Laughs Off Jab by Auburn’s Ben Tate

Although I wasn't watching the Auburn-Georgia game very closely on Saturday night (there was a slightly more pressing matter going on at the time), I happened to catch a quote from Auburn running back Ben Tate that was featured on the ESPN2 broadcast. In response to a question about how he ...Playing Devil’s Advocate: Where Does Alabama Go if Nick Saban Leaves?

Last week, I exchanged a number of emails with a good friend, an Auburn graduate, who took exception to an article I wrote questioning the "relevancy" of Auburn's (and Tennessee's) rivalry with Alabama. He was upset with the perceived arrogance of Alabama fans, and used his uncanny knack for statistical analysis to ...Alabama’s Rivals: Tide May Be Turning Away From Traditional Foes

Merriam-Webster's Dictionary defines the word "relevance" as: "relation to the matter at hand," or "practical and especially social applicability." When speaking on the matter of college football, and especially the rivalries contained within, relevance is a word that has taken on special significance. For my entire life as a college football fan, ...Alabama Bandwagon Nearing Capicity As Tide Rolls Into Second Half

Another week, another dominating performance. Another fan-base crushed. More contenders fall by the wayside. Another week, a few more first-place votes. Another week, more "talking heads" are changing their tune. When the season started, Florida entered as the odds-on favorite to win the National Championship. It wasn't even a question of "if," ...2009 Alabama Defense is Fearsome, but Roll with the 1992 Version as its Finest
Published on: 30th September, 2009
With Alabama's dominating defensive performance Saturday in a 35-7 win over phenom quarterback Ryan Mallet and his Arkansas team, the whispered comparisons between the 2009 Alabama defense and the legendary 1992 unit have become a popular topic of conversation around these parts. Not only do I find the comparison very premature, ...Random Thoughts on Week 2: The State of the SEC and Beyond

Saturday night, I was in Tuscaloosa for the Alabama/FIU game. Without question, the game was important. I think perhaps we learned more about the team this week than last week. Alabama struggled early, and then took control in the second half, winning 40-14. However, as happens from time to time, I found ...Alabama Shatters Stereotypes and Gets Offensive in Season Opener
Published on: 6th September, 2009
Saturday night, the 2009 edition of the Alabama Crimson Tide kicked off the season with a win in the Georgia Dome over seventh-ranked Virginia Tech, 34-24. At first glance, the final score would not come as much of a shock to most people. Alabama was favored by a touchdown or so ...
