I guess this post has two questions...

1. So are we going to have another Black and Red United MLS Fantasy League this year? I know last year it fizzled down to a handful of people by the end, but I love every minute of it.

2. Last year we used ESPN as the host, and they sucked on several occasions. It seemed like it was being run out of some loser's basement a couple times. Has anyone tried another MLS Fantasy league through another site that was reliable?

By the grace of God I have landed some great seats on the front row of one of the upper decks for the LSU game and I want to do everything I can as a fan to help this team win. So, having said that, I plan on making as much noise as possible, bringing peppermints to keep the throat going 60 minutes, etc. 

But I also want to get the fans around me as fired up as possible.  Being on the front row, I plan on making a sign or two with some recent quotes from Saban commenting on fan noise to inspire the people around me to yell with all they have.  You all know how important noise can be, a five yard false start against our defense is a drive stopper.  Not to mention the impact the game atmosphere will make on a H.S. recruit.  This can and should be the loudest game in the history of Bryant-Denny, do your part.  Below are the quotes, if you would like to add your two cents, please go ahead.

"Don't think you're not having an effect on the game...Make them go silent." - Saban

"...everybody's got to play 60 minutes in the game. That's what we expect from the players. That's what I expect from the fans, because you can affect the game." - Saban

"Make them go silent. Make their players react to the snap of the ball so that they can't hear every play of the game." -Saban

On a side note, I would like to make a humorous sign as well.  The only think I've got is to make a poster size "can" of Saban's "processed" Honey Badger potted meat.  Please share any good ones that come to mind.

Wow. Sums up Bessemer politics. I live in Bessemer, but needless to say, she ain;t gettign my vote.

Come on phooshopers...this is too easy....

If you want to watch some Texas football and do some homework on them, visit big12sports.com.  Being inferioir to the SEC ;), their site is not the easiest site to navigate.  You will also have to create an account, but is free and they do have the big games Texas played this year for you to stream online. Watching Texas vs. Oklahoma State right now.
