Bama is loaded, I'm sure they'll have another 5 star CB waiting behind him.
We beat them in College Station and at Lane, reminds me of the Nebraska games.
Somebody's a ladies man
It doesn't matter, Beamer doesn't like FG attempts over 45 anyway. I think Frank has the 25 YD Line as his threshold, if we can't get it inside of that, he will punt or go for it. He passes up 5 FG attempts a year between 45 and 50.
If true, I wholeheartedly approve. The A&M game in the hurricane in '03 is one of my favorite football memories.
Awesome.
As long as they are getting better I am happy. I have faith in Grimes. Well, I have faith in anyone coaching offensive line who isn't named Curt Newsome.
That's fine, I know we have some similarities. But we've already done that. I would have preferred Tennessee, Texas or Oklahoma.
but, hey, we got Penn St, Michigan, Ohio State, aTm, WVU, Wisky.......damn. That's some fine work.

# | Sam Rogers Named Starting Fullback for Alabama Game and more Depth Chart News I was reading through the depth chart and clicking on the players bios to learn more about them. I find the bottom paragraphs interesting, which players are pursuing challenging majors, relatives, etc. A few highlights.
1. Do you know who Damien Russell is? You should find him and thank him. He was a DB at VT from 1989-91....and....most importantly....cousin of the Fuller family. You like some Fullers, no? Thank you, Damien Russell (played in 16 games for the 49'ers in 1993)
2. Speaking of Fuller, Kyle is studying Finance.
3. Speaking of Finance, Tone has a degree in Finance already and is pursuing a degree in Marketing now. And, in case you forgot, Tone's middle name is Chavez.
4. Jon McLaughlin, is of course, the cousin of Cam and Orion Martin. But...most impressive thing I read in any of the bios was this sentence: "Had perfect attendance for all 12 years of school." Dude shows up to work. He's going to be fun to have for four more years, thanks ECU!
5. Deon Newsome has two younger brothers. I gotta feeling we should recruit them. Der'Woun Greene has three younger brothers. Nigel Williams has two younger brothers.
6. Brandon Facyson wants to be a heart surgeon.
7. E.L. Smiling's sister won a silver medal in 400Hurdles in the 2008 Beijing games. Also of note, there is no further detail for what E.L. stands for. His dad's name is E.L. Maybe we can just drop the .'s and call him "El Smiling!"
8. We've got a native Kiwi, Belgian, Haitian, Bahama'ian and Canadien, eh. 'Sup, diversity.
9. In case you haven't heard the Josh Trimble story, his dad played at Maryland and in the NFL for three years then passed away right before Josh came to school. He has three older brothers who played at West Point. I gotta feeling he will do okay for himself.
10. My personal favorite, Nick Bush. He's a cornerback from Lebanon (Va, not Syrian staging area), which in itself is unique. But he's also studying Ag Science. Yeah, cornerback farm boy! Please let that kid dress one game.
Your original post makes it seem like he would be playing scout defense when the offense is practicing during their team periods. All I am saying is at the end of the day, he will get reps on the Oline and the Oline alone.
The Rookie is a good movie. The one where Dennis Quaid is the old dude who tries out for the Majors.
I've done some research project on Jackie Robinson for school projects before so maybe it helped that I knew a good bit about him going into that movie.
But I thought the movie did a wonderful job theatrically, I loved the actual baseball scenes. Perhaps my favorite is when they're playing in Cincinatti and the kid in the stands starts yelling at him like everyone else, that just seemed really powerful to me and showed how that culture was such a taught thing when kids grew up.
oh my bad. i just remember you posting on tsl back in the day and i guess i assumed you still did. we all know what happens when you assume. we all appreciate everything you do, keep it up!
Oh ok. I'm a little out of shape, but I'll live. What days/times work for y'all? How's Wednesdays 6:30-8ish?
1. Bull Durham
2. Major League I
3. The Sandlot
4. Field of Dreams
5. A League of their Own
6. The Natural
7. Eight Men Out
8. Little Big League
9. The Pride of the Yankees
10a. Major League II
10b. For Love of the Game (good story, not enough baseball)
For those keeping score at home, thats three movies for Kevin Costner and three for Charlie Sheen.
If you remember Charlie Sheen's character in Ferris Buellers Day Off, Charlie Sheen has always been Charlie Sheen.

And, in my experience, are the most anxious to get after ya.
Yes, because we'll be leading in the third.
Wow, how important was the pick up of John McLaughlin in retrospect!
Hey, I am moderate in my expectations of this season, but I am excited about the changes that were finally made.
AND, if the team pulls off a great season, then I will believe that it will be directly due to the coaching staff and Beamer.........
I totally though the same thing. But I did not know Alabama had a player with that name.
LOVE. COCAINE. Man that was the best group of ACC pussy touchdowns of all time. Great stuff by billdozer and atlhokie with the meme
http://www.thekeyplay.com/content/2013/february/14/happy-valentines-day - for those who don't remember the thread.
Can someone please explain the appeal of The Natural? I just don't get it. Watched it recently and fell asleep.
