Good news, bad news here. We didn't win the SEC Gymnastics Tourney, BUT "In the midst of posting its 20th top-2 finish at the SEC Championships Alabama also came away with its 100th win over the Auburn Tigers. " That's 100 IN A ROW, spanning over 30 years!!! Just AMAZING. Now if we could only do that in football. 2 down, 98 to go.

Fascinating read with lots of great quotes. First part of a 3 part series written by Tommy Deas, Executive Sports Editor of the Tuscaloosa News. It's an in depth look inside the "Process" and it comes with a MANUAL!!!

"One of the lessons is that UA players and fans shouldn't want their next opponent playing Alabama's unofficial anthem at the start of practice in 2010. It's an insult, and one well deserved if the loss could have been avoided by players and a fan base who took the opportunity to play in the Sugar Bowl as seriously as they should have." MeanBobMean, this does NOT make me happy!!!

Most people(except Pete) list Javy as one of their faves on the team and I'm one of them. Not only is he Alabama's career leader in punt return yards in a game, season and career, he is also an exemplary person.

Funny as hell web site.

Tennessee should write a book and call it "How Hideous Do You Want To Be?". To take us through the off season, AlabamaGameday is doing a countdown of sorts - "110 Reasons We Hate The SEC". It's 10 reasons per team for our SEC rivals.

The SEC rules as 5 of the 6 teams in the finals hail from our conference - Alabama, Georgia, Florida, LSU, and Arkansas. MeanBobMean will be happy to know that Utah is the only non SEC team in the finals. Competition will be fierce. I would like Georgia's coach, Suzanne Yoculan, to end her career WITHOUT another national championship. ROLL TIDE!!!

Brittany Rogers, an amazing member of our softball team is up for the Lowe's Senior Class Award. The Lowe's Senior CLASS Award is presented each year to the outstanding senior NCAA Division I Student-Athlete of the Year across nine different sports. The acronym "CLASS" stands for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School. Fan voting counts 1/3 and Brittany is leading right now. You can vote once per day.

Is there any doubt how popular Julio is? In the most recent SGA election, he got write-in votes for every office and most senate seats. That included SGA President. He didn't get as many votes as last year, though, when he was still a senior at Foley High School. The last line of the article is the funniest: "Ultimate approval will likely have to be from his coach, Nick Saban, who’ll have to get past losing to Jones in the race for president. Saban got six write-in votes."

rugman, I was just going to suggest your next "Better Know a Tider" be Kelley Montalvo. You gotta love her!!!

Half-time was certainly the best part of the basketball game. Congratulations to our 2008 team. We will never forget the pride you brought back to the University of Alabama. Hey LittleSis, be sure to check out the player behind the Barn SGA president who sings Yea Alabama.
