Stock Watch

UP Glen Coffee, RB, 49ers
Talkin' about sleepers, how 'bout a rookie that ranks No. 89 in our RB rankings and isn't even being drafted in most leagues? Coffee reportedly is looking very good at Niners camp, and he tore up the Raiders in a preseason game (137 total yards). Certainly we can't overrate what backups are doing in the preseason, but Coffee definitely has a bead on the Niners' backup job, and starter Frank Gore has a checkered injury history.

Any Bama fans in Texas

BufordTJones — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 19:07:16 -0000

So I'm a recent alum in Houston. First of all, I'm looking to see if people gather anywhere to watch the Bama games?

Second, I was wondering if any Bama fans would like to start doing a Friday night tour and go as a group in Bama gear and cheer on Alabama recruits at their high school games. I think it would send a great message and give them a taste of what it will be like to wear the Crimson jersey. It seems like Chad Lindsay is a huge recruit out of the Woodlands, wouldn't it be nice to let him know that he isn't missing out on something by wearing Crimson instead of burn orange?

Summary of Julio, Ingram, & Hightower Interview

BufordTJones — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 01:36:06 -0000

Julio--Very timid, apparently he does his speaking on the field

A quarterback is a quarterback... throw the ball anywhere near me and I'll catch it, it doesn't matter if you have Mike DuBose or Tom Brady throwing it, just throw it within the Atlanta Metropolitan Area of me and I will catch it. Double team me this year? That is a step down from the triple team they did on me last year! Have you not seen my highlights (a la Javier Arenas)

Mark Ingram---Quite the guy on camera, entertaining interview

Have I met Trent, am I cool with him? I've known him for 1 practice, yeah of course we're cool or whatever. Have I seen his highlights? Have you seen my highlights? Greg is better at putting the ball in the money. We're ready to run the ball down your throat!

Dont'a--Another entertaining interview. I would love to have a beer with Javy, Ingram and Dont'a

They're moving me to Jack, Surprise!!!! It's a lot easier, I've got one job: rush the quarterback. Aka: Greg McElroy is wearing a blue Gators #15 jersey and my goal is to knock his lights out. That's about all folks, knock his lights out.

Decoding the words of recruits

BufordTJones — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 03:32:51 -0000

I don't know if anyone read the article on the Elite 18 in the Mobile Press-register, but I found a really interesting quote:

Twelve members of the Elite 18 have already announced their commitments. . . . More may follow quickly. Lincoln's D.J. Howard, a running back who will likely switch to safety on the next level, is said to be nearing a decision and Williams has narrowed his choices to three -- Alabama, Auburn and Florida State.

"I might just go on and get it over with," Williams said this week.

It seems that high talent recruits are committing earlier than ever before, that wearing a Crimson jersey is far more meaningful that showboating and swagging at a press conference.

So what D.J. Howard really was saying:

"Alabama already has 16 commitments so I have to hurry up and commit before I no longer have a spot."

"Alabama already has 16 commitments and doesn't have a spot for me so I guess I will have to settle for the Teagles, wait, is that their mascot? I'm confused. Are they the tigers, the eagles, the big cats, the prowlers?"

I have never hated NBA so much!

Just when we were seeing some chance of watching the game on time and seeing the McElroy/Julio TD pass, Joakim Noah has to foul and cause us 5 more minutes of game play. Has to be some Noah-Gator conspiracy.

Looks like Les may be in for a surprise, Did he sign Reuben Randle or Waldo Faldo?

Reuben Randle:

Waldo Faldo:

As you may remember, or be too young to remember, Waldo Faldo was a supporting character on Family Matters who always said "cool" and whenever anyone said his name, he would say "'sup?" Now RR, may in fact be the offspring of Waldo Faldo because he is missing the stylish haircut and has not mastered the sweet stache--but he looks well on his way about stache. Besides, I always imagined Waldo to smell like corndog.

Eat it Aubs, Muschamp Coach in Waiting at UT

BufordTJones — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 01:31:09 -0000

This is great, eat it Aubs. Will Muschamp has been named as the Coach in Waiting for the UT Longhorns after Mack Brown retires. I can't wait to hear Finebaum. All the barners have been calling it, "We will fire Tubs, then get Muschamp. Then we will be alright. Got seven?" Yes, Aubs, you will have 7, a big 5-7.

Looks like Little Brother might have to hire another Bowden
