The mindset of Bama's O-Line

BamaFrazier — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 17:25:46 -0000

“One of the main things we focus on is we’re just trying to get the running back through one gap,” Johnson said. “They can have all the people they want to up there, but they can’t fit nine people into one gap. If we can get the running back that one seam then we can be successful.”

I like this thinking from the leader of our OL. If Ingram, Upchurch, et al, can break through that one gap -- with the LSU defense stacked up against the line -- they will be breaking off some long runs. If we're successful at doing that, we may not NEED McElroy to throw deep.

The one thing that concerns me is that this is obviously something that's been coached into Mike's head. ... which makes me think that all of Saban's talk about needing to throw it deep and open up the offense may just be a smokescreen. Of course, if it works, who cares?

Damnit! Wrong video!

You gotta love Julio Jones. We all know he is a good blocker, but did you know he enjoys it?...

You gotta love Julio Jones. We all know he is a good blocker, but did you know he enjoys it? "Blocking is as fun to me as catching the ball."

I hate to say it ...

But I told you so. I said that we would win comfortably, and we did. I said that Snead would throw two or three interceptions, and he threw four. Now, we didn't play a very good game, I must say. Well, our defense played an ungodly good game, but our offense was horrendous -- especially in the red zone. Either the play-calling was horrendous, or the execution was horrendous. Four times with the ball inside the 10 yard line and four field goals. ... pathetic. No excuse for that. I don't understand it. Why didn't we try pounding it between the tackles when we were on their 5? Instead, we were running the "Throw it to Julio in Double Coverage" offense all night in the red zone. Unbelievable.

Anyway, even with a very lackluster performance by our offense, we still won comfortably in a game that was expected by almost everyone (except me) to be a close game.

Roll Tide, and bring on the gamecocks!

High school boots Vols recruiters

BamaFrazier — Thu, 14 May 2009 11:14:04 -0000

Is anybody surprised by this? (http://www.fannation.com/truth_and_rumors/view/102580-high-school-boots-vols-recruiters?eref=fromSI )

You had to know that eventually Lame Kitten was going to run his mouth enough to piss off high school coaches and administrators. But, holy shyte! How brilliant is it to piss off an entire region of people (note that his comments that day were directed at the entire region of South Florida, not just this one high school) of folks? That's OK, though. It's not like South Florida produces a lot of highly talented football recruits, right? ... RIGHT?

Keep up the verbal diarrhea, Kitten. You are the best recruiter that Bama and every other school in the SEC has. ... Actually, that's not true. At least our recruiters are out actually working to make our school look like some place that parents would WANT to send their kids to learn maturity and discipline and respect. I wouldn't send my kid to UCheaT even if I was a Tennessee hillbilly. Of course, if he was a convicted sex offender, that might the only place he could go ... jus saying.

Sorry way to start the Spring!

New Bama Fan!

BamaFrazier — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 20:53:38 -0000

Friends,

Just wanted to let you all share in my joy in adding another Bama fan to the world. My little girl joined us on February 2 weighing in at 8.5 pounds and 20.5 inches. We just brought her home over the weekend, and I've been running myself ragged, as you might imagine. Anyway, you'll all be glad to know that she has been receiving the proper instruction on what school she should plan to attend from the very beginning -- as you can see from my new profile picture. It is a shot of her in the hospital bassinet being wheeled around the maternity ward wearing the Crimson Tide baby hat (sorry, I don't know the technical term). There was an Auburn fan with a new baby on the same floor, and I was sure to take her out while he was in the fall:

ME: "Good morning"

HIM: "Good morning, and congratulations"

ME: "36 to nothing."

HIM: "Sorry, ... what?"

ME: "I said, 'congratulations.'"

HIM: "Oh"

Roll TIDE!

Feelin' Good

BamaFrazier — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 12:48:09 -0000

Guys,

Despite all the trashing of the Gators in the "Dilemma" fanpost, I am feeling really good after Florida's win in the Fedex BCS National Championship Game brought to you by "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter." (OK, I'm trying to meet the 75-word limit).

I was feeling down about ending the season with 2 losses. But, after the game last night I got to thinking. To whom did we lose? 1) The National Champions, and 2) the only undefeated D1A team in the nation. Also, barring a couple of errors by players and coaches, we could easily have won both games. Gotta tell ya, I feel pretty good about that.

To top it off, guess who scored more points on Florida than the vaunted Oklahoma offense? Bama did!!

Roll Tide!!

RBR Radio Hour?

BamaFrazier — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 02:31:26 -0000

Maybe I missed the memo, but are we shutting down the RollBamaRoll Radio Hour or just skipping a week? I know last week life got in the way, and we've had some serious technical difficulties the last couple of times before that. But, it's kind of become a Wednesday night tradition. My wife even asked me this evening, "Are going to do your Bama radio thingy tonight?"

I guess what I'm saying is that I'm a creature of habit.

"Ten minutes to Wapner. We're definitely locked in this box with no TV."

And, I like to dress for the occasion.

"Of course I don't have my underwear. I'm definitely not wearing my underwear."
