Well maybe the 111th Congress isn't entirely worthless (sorry for getting political).

Topdaddy mentioned earlier today that the house would be discussing a college football playoff today. And the result? The house passed legislation that would attempt to force the NCAA to implement a playoff system...I'm curious to see how this turns out.

A moment we should never forget....

As a student, this is a moment I'll never forget. The tears a falling, the joy is overwhelming. I've followed Alabama football my entire life, and when the opprotunity presented itself I became a student here. I have stood by my team through the thick and the thin (and lord knows we have had some down moments in the past few years). I have, as I assume we all of us have, known that we would one day find ourselves back in a position to regain our rightful spot on top of the college football world. We have had a great deal of coaches attempt to follow in the large shadow that the Bear cast over our legendary program but only one has been enough for the fan base. Saban is a legend in his own right and he is now cemented his place in bama history. Sorry for rambling but the raw emotion coursing through my body right now is overwhelming. Roll Tide. Remember this..I feel like it is a great time to be a student here at 'Bama. The tears will continue to fall. We are Alabama. We are back on top. It's an honor to say this and have it truely mean again what it once represented: "This is Alabama football."

Auburn gets a suprisingly good bowl.

I'm shocked....The Outback Bowl? How the hell do they get this invitation?

Alabama Basketball Upsets Michigan

I know we are all excited about the big win over Auburn in one of the most ~~mind-numbingly frustrating~~exciting Iron Bowls I've witnessed in my 21 years, and we are all pissing ourselves in anticipation for the de facto National Championship game this weekend in Atlanta. However, I think it's important to remember that our Basketball team is playing in the Old Spice Classic, and today Alabama upset No. 15 Michigan. It was an exciting game with JaMychal Green leading the scoring for the Tide with 20. You have to be impressed with what Grant has done with this team so far even with the two losses. Hopefully they can continue to win some games and show that Alabama's athletic program is not just a one-trick pony.

Here's the Gentry Estes article on the game.

Let me try again...Video from LSU student paper

I guess the last post didn't work right so I'll try again. In case any of you remember, these two LSU students dressed as Bama fans in Baton Rouge last year for the game and this year they went a similar route wearing lsu garb and interviewing g bama fans.

Just wanted to pass along this gem since I'm in the video and my friend is the guy wearing the shitty homemade shirt saying, "Saban: he giveth, and He taketh away."

Todd, you are starting to worry me....

Todd, you are starting to worry me....

The lack of a "Friday Admission" and/or eating of gross food is disconcerting. The football gods were good to us last year. Do not forget that success isn't possible without sacrifice. Do your part Todd. Do your part.

Not a link but too short for FanPost.

Seriously?? Have you forgotten some of the most beautiful girls in the world??? Mila Kunis was the only really good one y'all named. I had planned on pointing out the beauty that is Jessica Alba, but then realized in the picture searching she is married. That sucks for all of us.

I think molly sims would make a fine choice though.

Or my new personal favorite Marisa Miller

And again the Gorgeous Marisa MIiller...

Todd, come to your sences and pick of the above.

"The Legend" going pro?

batkinson — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 21:29:19 -0000

Earlier today The Legend of Terrence Cody updated his Facebook status. It was not good news for us 'Bama fans. His status was "Terrence Cody is going pro." This is Facebook, so take it for what it's worth but I think it probably is a sign that we are going to be losing a very enormous (literally) part of our defense. I am not sure how easily we can replace someone as talented and massive as Cody.
